BIOPSYCHOSOCIAL SUMMARY 2

Regarding the Biopsychosocial assessment of Amelia, it would be important to claim that

the client is involved in biological, psychological and also the socio-economic environmental

factors that are making her suffer from the situation she is suffering from. As an example,

Amelia is suffering from depression and this is not only a biological but also psychological and a

socio-environmental factor. Regarding the biological factor, it would be deemed that the family

members of Amelia had been associated with depression. Regarding the psychological factor, it

would be argued that Amelia is suffering from depression because of the situation that she is

undergoing and when it comes to the socio-environmental factor, it would be deemed that

Amelia is suffering from depression because of the environmental situation that she is being

exposed to them.

Description of the Problem

Amelia is seeking help for depression issues and anxiety and the problem arises from

multiple symptoms. As an example, she stated that she is not feeling like herself and also reports

days that she cannot go out of bed and at times or in certain days, she feels that a certain

individual might have gotten her out of her senses. Therefore, the above problems are all the

instances that Amelia is seeking help and she feels that if help fails or lacks in her situation, then

she is unlikely to survive. By assessing the situation presented by Amelia, then it would be

important to claim that the lady is suffering from numerous situations that also require the

intervention of a counselor to assist her with effective skills of coping with the situation that she

is facing and the one that will help her get out of the bed where she is lying and also leave alone

the destructive thoughts she is experiencing.

BIOPSYCHOSOCIAL SUMMARY 3

The notable problems that Amelia is facing are being a depressant person and the one that

might not get out of her bed. She is also experiencing an issue that she cannot get out of her bed

and feel like herself. Regarding the issues that Amelia is facing, she feels like she is sick and at

times, she also feels that the environmental situation might be leading to her health problems.

Challenges exist as far as the presented case is concerned but the notable ones include the lady

not feeling like herself and this means that she cannot be assisted. The other challenge is that she

requires a person to counsel her, but it is unfortunate that due to her situation, she is unlikely to

find a person that will help her.

Symptoms affecting the client

Numerous symptoms exist that are affecting Amelia and they include, the behavioral

symptoms, i.e., she has anxiety which might affect her negatively and the cognitive symptoms is

that she feels that other individuals have been involved in the same situation. The other symptom

is that she felt that some of them recovered from the situation while the other failed to recover

from the incident and all of these are instances of cognitive symptoms that are affecting the lady.

The emotional symptoms are that are she feels not being like herself. She also feels that

somebody is making her to feel as if not being herself. The physiological symptoms are that she

feels the environment where she lives is not sufficient to enable her recover and the harmful

behavior that are making the woman suffer is that she feels that some people are getting her out

of her sense and this is a harmful behavior on the side of Amelia. The other harmful behavior is

not having effective coping skills as these are skills that have to be developed by a person even

before the situation occurs.

BIOPSYCHOSOCIAL SUMMARY 4

One of the potential harmful behaviors of Amelia is that she is highly aggressive. This is

a behavior that could harm her and also her family members. She feels that she needs to recover

from depression, and this is not a situation that can be made in a single week. However, she feels

that it can be done in a week. She is also aggressive in that she feels somebody is making her

suffer from the situation she is suffering from and if such people are eliminated, then she could

be well. Therefore, all of the above instances are harmful behaviors that would hinder the

recovery of Amelia.

Certain potential and harmful behaviors

Notable potential and harmful behaviors exist, and these include the consumption of

certain substances like alcohol where the person had been using alcohol as early as at the age of

14 years and it was oral. The individual also had been subjected to Marijuana and all of these are

instances that are likely to lead to depression.

Family history of diagnosis and its effect

As per the case and out of the life situation of Amelia, it would be important to argue that

she is finding it hard to make friends and once made, she is unable to keep them. This is a

notable characteristic of people suffering from depression and these are individuals that have a

family history of the situation. Therefore, it would be argued that Amelia has a family history of

depression.

Use of evidence-based research

Evidence-based research has not been used in case of this patient. The reason for

claiming this instance is that no information has been presented regarding the patient and

especially, the medication for depression. In evidence-based practice, Amelia would have been

subjected to cognitive behavioral therapy.

Identification of the client

The client could be identified from her cultural practices and out of the situation, it would

be essential to argue that Amelia is a CIS-female. She believes in growing up like a roman

catholic, but she does not practice it. Since the cultural and religious practices of an individual

would influence the delivery of evidence-based medical practice, then it would be important to

argue that the identification of this client would not adversely affect the delivery of evidence-

based medication, (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt. (2010). Therefore, an instance of evidence-

based practice is evident.

Commented [R4]: Need at least one research study to support clinical practice with the symptoms Amelia is presenting
