There are many different Types of Psychological illnesses that affect the individuals in many different ways. I am going to discuss the illness, treatment and diagnosis of two different individuals who have been affected by these illnesses.
I have chosen to do two different case studies, for my first case study I have chosen to use my dad and his psychological illness. My dad got diagnosed with black widow syndrome of the brain, this is due to an aneurysm is the brain. My second case study is the psychological illness of my late grandmother, cervical cancer. For each of these case studies I have interviewed the person/carer involved and also used medical reports in my findings.
The first psychological illness I am going to discuss and evaluate is a brain aneurysm that remained anonymous in the brain until it ruptured. There are four blood vessels in the brain, they have smaller vessels which branch out and provide the brain with blood. It is possible for the vessels to become weakened this can be when the vessels all become combined or split. When this area becomes weak it leads to an aneurysm. Aneurysms themselves don’t usually provide except when they leak into the brain tissue. Some people are born with aneurysms while others develop over a period of time, more than often they are not discovered until an autopsy is carried out on a body after death.
