Case Study: Tina's Story

Introduction

After studying the case, we analyze Tina's story is based on general psychology. The case is hovered around different aspects of psychology and based on different responses showed to Tina during random situation she was going through at that time. Tina had worked hard for her husband and her career but eventually Joe - her husband left her for other woman. Tina was surprised and shocked due to Joe's behavior and eventually she was left alone. Her performance was disturbed and, she was distressed. At such stage of life when a person needs friends and family to share the feelings of affected person, Tina did not find anyone to show empathy and support in such a desperate situation of life. The consequences of such societal behavior led Tina towards depression, anxiety, nervousness, and tension.

However, if Tina is given proper treatment she can probably recover from such a situation. But, if she is left alone like this and not treated, than it can be assumed that she will be affected by mental disorder problems. This is most dangerous in nature because recovery from such problems is quite a complex process and patients are exposed to live abnormal life after being affected by such mental disorders. Tina's story is also indicating the same scenario. The way she had been treated by her husband, worked hard in her professional life, left alone by her friends and her sister's unavailability due to suicide were the factors that were leading Tina towards severe mental disorder condition. Practically, anyone can experience the same condition after being hurt from such circumstances and might face same mental and physical disorders as Tina was experiencing.

As far as Tina's case is concerned it is a perfect illustration of case leading towards a severe mental disorder condition. The stress Tina is facing nowadays as depicted in case story, is not something that can be avoided because such stress may lead Tina towards severe mental disorder. As a result, she will become a mental case if not treated at this stage. The hardships that she had faced in her life so far, and the way in which her husband left her (despite the fact that she was alone supporting financial needs of the family) are ridiculous. The feelings that she has started to adopt like she is not giving proper time to her husband, she is not attractive enough, she is not a fit wife, she is not a competent employee etc. are such feelings, which show depression, mood disorders, and anxiety disorders.

However, we will now look at the case of Tina with more details and illustrations from her story with respect to the psychological point of view. Axis I: In Tina's case, axis I provide information regarding clinical disorders like psychological health ...
