I'm not even in NS yet... however this is something I realized about myself a while back.
Depression is awful. However, perhaps some people have been depressed for such a time that being depressed and having the blues becomes their comfort zone. They're more at ease when they're down and out.
Regardless of why the pt was admitted... when consoling with them, how would you go about handling a situation like this?
I've posed a variation of this question to several friends and the answer are always interesting and always very different. So how about it everyone?
Could it be possible that, instead of "consoling", the op meant to use the word, "counseling" or "consulting"? Since there seems to be a grammatical problem with the sentence, it may be a question of semantics.
Anyway, people are being pretty harsh with their comments! This is just a curious person expressing an opinion and asking a question, however misinformed they may be! Be nice!!!
Unbelievable! All you people with depression are causing it yourselves by poisoning your brain with what you watch on TV, books, magazines, videos, computer games, and other forms of entertainment. I personally found this article to be offensive and inaccurate, but then again, I'm only a nursing student.
You're recommending the publication from the Jehovah's Witnesses?
