have caused him to have a low self-esteem and his personal hygiene
is likely to be poor. Michael would not have any money coming in to
help him pay his bills while he is in the hospital and because he is
likely living alone and has quit his job, he may have poor financial
management Skills and struggle to pay bills. Michael appears to
have little control over the influence of his mental health issue on
his life in the case study.
When he went to the GP, he clearly believed that he couldn't
manage his symptoms on his own and that he required help from
others to handle his
illness. whether through medication or therapy. Furthermore.
Michael's mental disease is caused by chemical imbalance in the
brain, which may nave been triggered of a variety or actors.
