In this assignment I will be talking about the impact of mental ill health on Maricus's diagnoses and
other social networks and examining strategies which promote mental wellbeing and mental health.



P4: The impact of having a eating disorder on Marcus’s mental health can cause him to experience
negative effects on the emotional centers of his brain which can lead to depression, irritability, and
isolation. Difficulty thinking, switching tasks, prioritizing. It also can cause him to have psychological and
emotional problems that contribute to his disorder. He may have low self-esteem, impulsive behavior,
and problematic relationships in the future. Marcus has also been diagnosed with anorexia nervosa
which causes slowed thinking and decreased ability to concentrate, withdrawal from social interactions
(2022, National Eating Disorders Collaboration) One study found that over a third of those with a
diagnosis also have major depressive disorder. In addition, roughly half of the individuals with anorexia
have comorbid anxiety disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorder and social phobia. (Eating
Disorder Treatment Center in Indiana 2022)

P5: Mental ill health affects on Marcus's relationships with others could go downhill because it has a
“ripple effect” which can cause tension, uncertainty, stress, and sometimes major changes in how they
live their lives. Different family members can be affected in different ways. Parents often engage in self
and mutual blame. They experience enormous guilt as each examines all they did wrong to cause their
child to have this disorder. In fact, all family relationships become strained and conflicted as everyone
walks around feeling angry. (Allan N. Schwartz, PhD)

All of this is the reason why treatment includes family therapy along with intense treatment by a team
that includes psychiatrists for medication, nutritionists to form an eating plan with the patient, and a
psychotherapist to help the patient learn to cope with life in a realistic way. Family therapy has multiple
purposes. First, it helps relieve the guilt, blame and anger that pervades the family unit. It also helps
members discuss how to help their loved one without being controlling and intrusive.

P6: Strategies that can be applied to promote the mental wellbeing of Marcus because of his diagnosis
cognitive behavioral therapy — specifically enhanced cognitive behavioral therapy — has been shown to
help. The main goal is to normalize eating patterns and behaviors to support weight gain. The second
goal is to help change distorted beliefs and thoughts that maintain restrictive eating. (1998-2023 Mayo
Foundation for Medical Education and Research (MFMER). Marcus can get psychological therapy
(psychotherapy), nutrition education, medical monitoring and sometimes medications to help him with his
eating disorder and anorexia nervosa.

M3: The impact of mental ill health on Marcus’s relationships within his social network is that he may start
to feel isolated and alone. Many individuals who have anorexia report having fewer friends than normal,
fewer social activities to attend, and less social support. (The Emily Program July 24, 2018). Marcus's
anorexia may worsen for a variety of reasons, including the length of time it goes untreated or
psychological, environmental, and social factors that may have contributed to the development of his
anorexia. Although the causes of why some people have symptoms while others do not are unclear, there
are a number of things that may do so. It's possible for Marcus's family carers to feel ignored and
dismissed because he requires support, understanding, and doesn't deserve blame for his condition. If
Jane's family is not supportive, her mental health may deteriorate because she may feel alone and
abandoned and lack support, which can be harmful for an individual with a complicated condition.
