INTRODUCTION

A. OVERVIEW
Bipolar I Disorder is one of the most severe forms of mental illness and is characterized by recurrent episodes of mania and (more often) depression. The condition has a high rate of recurrence and if untreated, it has an approximately 15% risk of death by suicide. It is the third leading cause of death among people aged 15-24 years, and is the 6th leading cause of disability (lost years of healthy life) for people aged 15-44 years in the developed world. Bipolar I Disorder is a life-long disease and runs in families but has a complex mode of inheritance. Family, twin and adoption studies suggest genetic factors. The concordance rate for monozygotic (identical) twins is 43%; whereas it is only 6% for dizygotic (nonidentical) twins. About half of all patients with Bipolar I Disorder have one parent who also has a mood disorder, usually Major Depressive Disorder. If one parent has Bipolar I Disorder, the child will have a 25% chance of developing a mood disorder (about half of these will have Bipolar I or II Disorder, while the other half will have Major Depressive Disorder). If both parents have Bipolar I Disorder, the child has a 50%-75% chance of developing a mood disorder. First-degree biological relatives of individuals with Bipolar I Disorder have elevated rates of Bipolar I Disorder (4%-24%), Bipolar II Disorder (1%-5%), and Major Depressive Disorder (4%-24%). The finding that the concordance rate for monozygotic twins isn't 100% suggests that environmental or psychological factors likely play a role in causation. Certain environmental factors (e.g., antidepressant medication, antipsychotic medication, electroconvulsive therapy, stimulants) or certain illnesses (e.g., multiple sclerosis, brain tumor, hyperthyroidism) can trigger mania. Mania can be triggered by giving birth, sleep deprivation, and major stressful life events. In adults, mania is usually episodic with an elevation of mood and increased energy and activity. In children, mania is commonly chronic rather than episodic, and usually presents in mixed states with irritability, anxiety and depression. In adults and children, during depression there is lowering of mood and decreased energy and activity. During a mixed episode both mania and depression can occur on the same day.

Comorbidity is the rule, not the exception, in bipolar disorder. The most common mental disorders that co-occur with bipolar disorder are anxiety, substance use, and conduct disorders. Disorders of eating, sexual behavior, attention-deficit/hyperactivity, and impulse control, as well as autism spectrum disorders and Tourette's disorder, cooccur with bipolar disorder. The most common general medical comorbidities are migraine, thyroid illness, obesity, type II diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Bipolar I Disorder is often associated with: alcoholism, drug addiction, Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Panic Disorder, and Social Phobia. Bipolar I Disorder affects both sexes equally in all age groups and its worldwide prevalence is approximately 3-5%. It can even present inpreschoolers. There are no significant differences among racial groups in the prevalence of this disorder. The first episode may occur at any age from childhood to old age. The average age at onset is 21. More than 90% of individuals who have a single Manic Episode go on to have future episodes. Untreated patients with Bipolar I Disorder typically have 8 to 10 episodes of mania and depression in their lifetime. Often 5 years or more may elapse between the first and second episode, but thereafter the episodes become more frequent and more severe. There is significant symptom reduction between episodes, but 25% of patients continue to display mood instability or mild depression. As many as 60% of patients experience chronic interpersonal or occupational difficulties between acute episodes. Bipolar I Disorder may develop psychotic symptoms. The psychotic symptoms in Bipolar I Disorder only occur during severe manic, mixed or depressive episodes. In contrast, the psychotic symptoms in Schizophrenia can occur when there is no mania or depression. Poor recovery is more common after psychosis. Manic episodes usually begin abruptly and last for between 2 weeks and 4-5 months (median duration about 4 months). Depressive episodes tend to last longer (median length about 6 months), though rarely for more than a year, except in the elderly.

B. OBJECTIVE AND PURPOSE OF THE STUDY


This study generally aims to investigate a mentally ill patient particularly we drive to: Know the History of the client and the family Track down the developmental stages of the client Trace the incident that precipitated the mental illness of client Describe the symptoms manifested by the client Build Nurse-client relationship Anticipate the needs pertaining to the client illness Provide nursing interventions Develop positive coping mechanism Encourage verbalization of feelings of the client Provide opportunities for the client to practice new behavior Promote positive self concept Evaluate progress and redefine goals as appropriate The purpose of the study is to gather significant data broaden our understanding and knowledge in psychiatric nursing and to improve our abilities in determining and/or differentiating the distinct mental disorders.

A. SCOPE AND LIMITATION


The study was conducted at SPMC psychiatric section Crisis Intervention unit . It covers the patients mental condition and focused on the diagnosis formulated by the patients psychiatrist. The information was gathered through the groups observations on the behaviors manifested by the client. An interview with the clients family

members, relatives, friends, and neighbors was also conducted to gain more information that would add to the understanding of the patients present condition. The care of the patient is good for 5 days, 4 days care at the hospital and 1 day follow-up care / home visit. Five days of visitation is still not enough to gain progress in the clients mental ability and doesnt give the group a chance to explore the case further and more intensively. Furthermore, the limitation of the study lies on providing financial support and short-term nursing goals were drawn on due to time limitation.

First we asked the patient and his mother to allow us to visit the patient, to care, and to interview for our care study about him and to the family, stating the duration of the relationship, the purpose, and the parameters of subsequent condition. During the initial interaction, we were able to set contract with the patient meetings. We also set clarifications of some expectations. We specified the boundaries, the time, date, place, the length of session, and the confidentiality of any information that will be gathered. After stating the contract and purposes we then started to gather important data by having an interview to the client and to his mother. During our few minutes of interview, we observed that our patient is manifesting being grandeur and tends to talk in a angry manner. Some of the patients present health related problems were already identified. But before we end up our conversation and interaction that day, we emphasized to them that we will visit them in the hospital for 4 consecutive days and the last day for the 5th visit will be a home visit.

MISTRUST (0-18 months)

during her pregnancy to R.O.. She had normal pregnancy. She was provided well, with all the vitamins and immunizations. Ray was delivered through normal spontaneous delivery. According to Kendra Van Wagner, caregivers who are inconsistent and emotionally unavailable, contribute to feelings of mistrust in the children they care for.

SHAME AND DOUBT (18months-3yrs)

Because parents both have to work in their business the patient was left under the care of yaya. The only time given to the patient was at As said by Tara Kuther, if parents nighttime. and caregivers provide for physical and emotional needs, the infant will develop a basic sense of trust in their caregivers and the world. Like Freud, Erikson believed that toilet training was a vital part of this process. However, Erikson's reasoning was quite different than that of Freud's. Erikson believe that learning to control ones body functions leads to a feeling of control and a sense of independence. As stated by Kendra Van Wagners statement, during the preschool years, children begin to assert their power and control over the world through directing play and other social interaction. Those who fail to acquire these skills are left with a sense of guilt, self-doubt, and lack of initiative.

GUILT (3-5)

No proper toilet training. Patient does not recieve punishments from both his parents during toddler years. Patient had a history of fall from stairs (2 years old)

DEPRESSION

A. Analogy The scripture once relates a metamorphosis of a butterfly; from an egg to a larva (caterpillar), pupa then to a beautiful butterfly that flies in the garden. This narration brings the metaphor between how a man could be liken to a butterfly, yet the conclusion will not be as pleasant as many factors may occur that disrupts the beauty and development of a butterfly. This is the story of our patient. The butterfly egg is covered with a protective layer called chorion. This functions as preventing the egg from drying out before the larva has had to fully develop. If the chorion is soft because of a defective gene, then many conditions may develop. This implies the genetic predisposition in the family. Female butterflies usually lay their eggs on or near plants suitable for the young to eat. As the egg hatch (two or three days to a month) and becomes a larva, it will then find healthy leaves to eat. Lack of care and careless laying of eggs in unhealthy leaves results to mistrust to its caregivers. And so the egg hatched and becomes a larva. The larva finds leaves that can be eaten for its development. Since the egg is hatched at the unhealthy leaves, deprivation of food may result. Larva form mutual associations with ants, they communicate with the ants using vibrations that are transmitted through the substrate as well as using chemical signals. The ants provide some degree of protection to these larva and they in turn gather honeydew secretions. These are considered the support groups of R.O. He doesnt had many support groups, only his family and his few barkadas. They considered R.O. as shy type boy (low self-esteem). So the story continues. When the larva is fully grown, the larva stops feeding and begins "wandering" in the quest of a suitable pupation site, often the underside of a leaf. The larva transforms into a pupa by anchoring itself to a substrate and moulting for the last time. This time development of behaviours, attitudes and characteristics are being moulded by him. Environmental, social and many factors may lead to each individuals characteristics.

In life of a pupa, came the long periods of warm summer where the sun shine so brightly in the sky making the surrounding trees and flowers bloom, well shortly after every after long sunrise comes heavy rain and strong winds blew. The pupa was being blew to and fro, and its foundation was then unstable. The sunshine comprises of the time of the patients life where he had live normally, we always consider the suns warm as something that is good such as having his support groups. Now the storm is always seen as disastrous. The greatest storm could only be is when they are forced to move from their current place because of the drop of their business (shame) and when he had stopped schooling because of financial restraints and lastly when he experienced no relationships with opposite sex ever since his disorder appeared which left our patient deserted and depressed. The pupal transformation into a butterfly through metamorphosis has held great appeal to mankind. To transform from the miniature wings visible on the outside of the pupa into large structures usable for flight. But since many problems and factors that occurred in the life of the butterfly, the wings are formed weak and fragile. Then there were times where-in the butterfly becomes manic, combative and hostile after periods of depression. And so what is left to do is to conclude what happened with the butterfly or rather to the patient.

II. DIAGNOSIS
BIPOLAR 1 MANIC PHASE WITH PSYCHOTIC FEATURES Bipolar disorder or manic-depressive disorder, also referred to

as bipolar affective disorder or manic depression, is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a category of mood disorders defined by the presence of one or more episodes of abnormally elevated energy levels, cognition, and mood with or without one or more depressive episodes. The elevated moods are clinically referred to as mania or, if milder, hypomania. Individuals who experience manic pisodes also commonly experience depressive episodes, or symptoms, or mixed episodes in which features of both mania and depression are present at the same time. These episodes are usually separated by periods of "normal" mood; but, in some individuals, depression and mania may rapidly alternate, which is known as rapid cycling. Extreme manic episodes can sometimes lead to such psychotic symptoms as delusions and hallucination. Bipolar I is one or more manic episodes. Subcategories specify whether there has been more than one episode, and the type of the most recent episode. A depressive or hypomanic episode is not required for diagnosis, but it frequently psychotic features are often present during the manic phase of bipolar I disorder. Aspects of psychosis may also manifest during extreme episodes of depression. These features include delusions (false ideas about what is taking place or who one is) and hallucinations (seeing or hearing things which aren't there).

III. MULTIAXIAL DIAGNOSIS

AXIS Axis I. CLINICAL DISODERS

CLASSIFICATION
Patient R.O has Bipolar I Manic phase with psychotic features. In which he has feeling of euphoria, racing thoughts, impulsive behavior, decreased judgment, overly high self-esteem, and extreme optimism. He had also verbalized that the stars and comet appears on him, this statement shows that he is having visual hallucination. Patient R.O no known personality disorder such as the Histrionic personality disorder ,Dependent Personality Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder, or mental retardation. Patient R.O has no known physical or medical disorder such as the hyperthyroidism and Mitral valve prolapse. Patient R.O psychiatric disorder is triggered by environmental factors such as, poor nutritional status and stressful environment where she lives brought about by low socio-economic status. Based on Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) scale, a scale of 71-80 is given which symptoms are present, there are transient and expectable reactions to psycho-social stressors (e.g., difficulty concentrating after family argument); no more than slight impairment in social, occupational, or school functioning (e.g., temporarily falling behind in schoolwork). .Patient has good judgement but he has difficulty in dealing with others because he always insist that he is always right in every conversation he had especially in his family.
