The Psychiatric Mental Health.Psychiatric mental health nurses (PMHNs) are registered nurses with specialized training that help assess,
address, and monitor mental health and behavioral conditions. They may work with individuals, families,
groups, or communities. Most PMHNs work with a team of other licensed mental healthcare workers.
The primary role of a mental health nurse is to provide care to patients with a psychiatric disorder, mental
health issue, or behavioral problems. Many of the tasks performed by a mental health nurse are similar to
that of a psychiatrist and include diagnosis, psychotherapy, and prescription of medications.
It consists of four principles namely;
Patient should be accepted exactly as he is
Self-understanding should be used as a therapeutic tool.
Consistency is used to contribute patient security
Reassurance must be given in a suitable and acceptable manner.
