Treating Psychotic Disorders
For this Discussion, review the media titled Psychotic Disorder Case Study: Harry and Ralph. Evaluate their current antipsychotic drug treatments. Consider other options that psychiatrists might consider for the clients that might be more effective.
Post by Day 3 an alternative antipsychotic drug treatment for your assigned case and explain why you think it is more appropriate. Explain the potential negative side effects and identify symptoms that may not be relieved by the treatment. Then, explain one potential ethical concern related to this client’s treatment and your role as a counselor once the client has been stabilized on his medication.
