#schizotypal personality disorder
a) Helping the client to participate in social interactions
b) Establishing a one-on-one relationship with the client
c) Exploring the effects of the client’s behavior on social interactions
d) Developing a schedule for the client’s participation in social interactions
Answer: b
By establishing a one-on-one relationship, the nurse helps the client learn how to interact with people in new situations. The other options are appropriate but should take place only after the nurse-client relationship is established.
When it comes to ADHD&Autism, the mental health community is like “they can express their symptoms when around people, it’s who they are, they can’t change their brain, they can do nothing wrong☺️” but when any other type of neurodivergent disorder presents their symptoms that they can’t control, they are shunned and are told and scolded and yelled at to fix themselves or to leave or are abandoned and that everything is their own problem. (ex. mood disorders, personality disorders, trauma disorders) Not to mention, the “neurodivergent community” mostly only recognizes Autism or ADHD as neurodivergent and everyone else is excluded.
Here’s a really cool discord server i run, it’s open to anyone who experiences psychosis, we’ve got lots of cool stuff including channels for LGBTQ+ people, people of color, selfies, and food prep. We’re also working on our blog psychosis-spectrum.tumblr.com (Still in early stages of construction) and organizing a weekly online movie night (With frequent random movie sessions during the week).
just saw a post where the creator was trying to raise acceptance for “scary” mental illnesses like schizophrenia, bpd, npd, etc., and the sentiment was nice, but they weren’t schizophrenic and used the term “schizos”. as a schizophrenic myself, i absolutely hate when non-schizophrenic/non-psychotic people use that term. it’s not your term to use because it’s been used to demonize and dehumanize us for years.
please y’all, if you’re not on the schizophrenia spectrum, don’t use the term “schizo”. it’s really not that hard to say schizophrenics/psychotics or people with schizophrenia/psychosis (if you like person first language that is). if one day the stigma goes down and we can use that term without the societal implications, great, but today is not that day.
genuine question just to help me broaden my understanding: are you comfortable with people who aren’t schizophrenic but are schizoid or schizotypal using that term? cause my understanding is that it’s not really used against those people, it mostly targets schizophrenic and schizoaffective people, but the PDs come from the same root, so I just don’t know.
thanks for any answer you give!
