Mental Health and Psychiatry Nursing

Every person should be in good mental health if they want to fulfil their full potential, be able to work efficiently and successfully, be able to handle the normal demands of daily life, and be able to contribute in some tiny way to society. The medical profession of psychiatry constantly contends with the profound complexity of the human brain in an effort to describe, comprehend, and categorize mental, emotional, and behavioral illnesses and establish the most effective therapies. Psychiatric mental health registered nurses assess the psychological needs of individuals, families, groups, and communities. The PMH nurse creates a nursing diagnosis and plan of treatment, puts it into practice and assesses its efficacy.
