Transcribed Image Text:

Case Study D Mrs Freeman is a 40-year-old client with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. She suffers from hallucinations and hears voices which cause her to become anxious and extremely emotional. The schizophrenia also causes Mrs Freeman to assault others, both verbally and physically. The Bipolar Disorder has significant effects on Mrs Freeman's emotions, causing feelings of despair and worthlessness. Mrs Freeman has become increasingly withdrawn and stopped participating in social events in recent times. Mrs Freeman's carers have to give her separate medications to treat the Schizophrenia and Bipolar disorder. These medications do alleviate the symptoms for some time. However, they have negative side effects, including trembling, drowsiness, nausea, and vomiting. Her friends and family members are struggling to cope and maintain the support that they have provided over the years.
