:)hi everyone, i would like to ask for your help. i'm going to have my presentation on the behavioral analysis of my patient next week, the problem is that my data and analysis are not that comprehensive. here's the case::crying2::crying2:

[color=pink]28 years old female, substance abuse for 10 years due to family

problems and abusive violent live-in partner. she has no one to turn too because

she's not close with her family and she has no reliable friends. at 18, she became a

mother of a healthy baby girl. on the other hand, it was stated on the chart that she

was taking methamphetamine while in contrast to what the patient claimed, she

said she was using mdma.:typing two years ago she's manifesting withdrawal

symptoms, sleeping, eating and mood disorder. and took the following medicines,

akineton, rivotril, zyprexa (olanzapine), lithium carbonate, and chlorpromazine.

recently, she was diagnosed as in full remission, base from my interaction with

the patient she was able to respond well, with a low tone of voice, hesitant to have

an eye contact, able to join the different therapies, able to disclose sensitive events

in her life, good hygiene, but with slow thought processing and sometimes losses

her focus/concentration, and easily distracted:nurse::typing:typing
