Updated 9/24/2019 113 Warning Signs of a Mental Health Problem Any of the following signs may indicate that a serious mental health problem exists. An assessment or evaluation conducted by a qualified mental health professional may be needed: • Unexplained changes in personality. • Unable to cope with problems and daily activities. • Strange, grandiose, or paranoid ideas. • Excessive anxiety or worries. • Depression that persists for several days. • Changes in eating or sleeping patterns. • Thinking or talking about suicide. • Thinking or talking about hurting someone. • Mood swings with extreme highs and lows. • Excessive or uncontrolled feelings of anger or hostility. • Crying spells. • Suicidal, violent behaviors, or self-harm. • Excessive risk taking. • Abuse of drugs or alcohol. • Sudden changes in peer groups. • Cruelty to pets or animals. • Isolating from family or friends. • Absenteeism from school, work, or family activities. • Involvement with gangs or criminal activities. • Violent or depressing artwork. • Persistent disregard for following the rules. • Secretive behavior. • Running away or threats

Finding Help There are many ways to get help once you know whom to call. Any of the persons listed below can help you identify a mental health professional or program: • A Physician • A Psychotherapist • A Church Counselor • A School Counselor • A Medical Hospital • An Emergency Room • A Psychiatric Hospital • An Insurance Company • An Employee Assistance Program • A Mental Health Association like Mental Health America or NAMI Gulf Coast

Deciding Which Type of Professional to Call Determining which type of mental health professional to call is important. There are many different types of mental health professionals. Each type has specific credentials that identify their training and area of expertise. Be sure to ask the mental health professional what areas of mental health

Updated 9/24/2019 114 is his or her expertise, even those who have the same licensure. Listed below are the most common mental health credentials.

A Psychiatrist or MD is a Medical Doctor who specializes in mental functioning. They have the legal authority to prescribe medications for their clients. They can treat clients for any type of mental health problem.

A Psychologist or Ph.D. is a Doctor of Psychology. They can provide counseling or psychotherapy for any type of mental health problem. They often train or teach other therapists and conduct evaluations or psychological testing on clients to help identify / clarify thinking, emotional or educational problems.

A Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist or LMFT is licensed by the state to conduct marriage and family therapy. They work with individuals and families in order to overcome family problems.

A Licensed Master Social Worker or LMSW is licensed by the state to provide therapy for individuals with mental health problems. They work with individuals and families to overcome their problems. They also assist clients in accessing other services that may help return the client to the best possible mental health.

A Licensed Professional Counselor or LPC is licensed by the state to counsel individuals or families. They help clients overcome any mental health related problem.

A Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor or LCDC is licensed by the state to work with individuals and families to overcome problems with drugs and alcohol. Their expertise is limited to substance abuse and the problems that often accompany substance abuse.

Learn all you can about the disorder and medications – and keep learning.

Choose (or steer your loved one to) doctors and therapists who are willing to work with the family.

Speak calmly, in an organized manner, focusing on the two or three most immediate issues. When talking to mental health professionals about your consumer, do not vent. This is about helping the consumer, not about expressing your feelings and anxieties. Keep it as simple as possible.

Stay focused on the issues. Keep it simple, focused and factual.

Talk to the doctor/therapist - by fax or email if necessary. If the individual is over 18, the doctor/therapist won’t be able to talk with you unless you have guardianship or your consumer gives permission. However, you can still talk to the doctor/therapist – it may be a one-sided conversation, but you can give them the information they need. You can do it by fax or email if you can’t do it in person. Send a privacy information form, if your consumer will sign one, to all doctors/therapists and the insurance company. NAMI GC has a consent form if you need a copy. Keep a copy for your crisis file. Keep a file of information about the individual: dates of diagnoses, hospitalizations, names of doctors and medications, insurance/Medicare information. Keep a telephone/contact log when dealing with caseworkers, doctors, therapists, etc. Be sure to get names. This will

Updated 9/24/2019 115 be helpful during the inevitable follow-up.

Medicine and Mental Health Professionals Medications are a starting point that may allow other therapeutic strategies to work. Medications can strongly affect behavior. They can bring enough calm to allow other therapeutic work to be done. Positive effects will continually need to be weighed against the negative. Know the medications: what they do, side effects, interactions with food or other medications, how sensitive the medication is to non-compliance.

Some suggestions are: weekly pill dispensing boxes, alarm clocks and wristwatch alarms. Be aware that some consumers need closer supervision. Lock up extra medications, especially if you have 90-day supplies and particularly if your loved one suffers from depression or has a history of substance abuse. Monitor how well the medication is working and any side effects. It is especially important to keep notes when there is a change in medication or dosage. You can help the Doctor in treating symptoms by logging behaviors and medication. Use hospital provided caseworkers. If going through a hospitalization, ask about caseworkers or social workers available through the hospital. Be sure to get their names and contact information. They can listen to you and help with finding doctors, therapists and living facilities for after hospitalization. If your loved one is hospitalized and they have no source of income, they may be eligible for follow-ups with their local MHMR. Call NAMI GC for more information.

Taking Care of Yourself Stay hopeful. Don’t be discouraged. There is help through support and education (like the Partnerships education class and support chapter meetings from NAMI Gulf Coast).

Acknowledge your own feelings of confusion, anger and depression. Recovery is a slow process. It takes a long time.

Guilt is a common response. We may try to hide the situation from neighbors and friends because of shame and embarrassment. We can let go of this when we understand that the bizarre behavior is due to a biochemical imbalance in the brain.

Allow yourself to grieve the loss of your expectations for the individual with mental illness. Acceptance entails recognition that mental illness is a chronic disorder – that previous expectations may not be achievable. Allow yourself to grieve the loss of those possibilities. Focus on what is realistically possible now.

Set limits on what you expect of yourself. Live one day at a time. Set realistic limits on what you as an individual can actually control or accomplish.

Positive self-talk is effective. Replace negative self-talk with positive. If you can’t change the circumstance, consider changing the way you think about it. “If life hands you lemons, turn it into lemonade.”

Try to live as balanced a life as possible. Avoid letting your consumer’s problems take over

Updated 9/24/2019 116 your life. Don’t make all your conversations about the consumer. So often, we give up all or much of our regular life and live with this person as the focus of our everyday existence. This may be necessary during a crisis, but when there is some stability, try to return to some balance and pursue your regular activities as much as possible.

Make sure you get respite. As a caregiver, you need a rest. Give yourself daily time away from the consumer. Do something you need or want to do. Making this part of your daily life will help you continue to care for the individual.

Don’t sacrifice relationships with other family Be grateful for the wisdom you gain. In the process of coping with this illness, you will have discovered much more about yourself and about the vagaries of the human condition than you could ever have imagined.

Don’t sacrifice relationships with other family

Be grateful for the wisdom you gain. In the process of coping with this illness, you will have discovered much more about yourself and about the vagaries of the human condition than you could ever have imagined.

Remember, this is a “long haul” event – pace yourself.

Accept that there will be bad times and better times, but that a quick one-time-for-all treatment is most likely not possible.

Learn to be flexible. Flexibility and adjustments in dealing with these issues can help you to cope.

Keep yourself healthy. Eat right, get enough sleep, and try to fit in some exercise. Respond to the aches and pains of your body, mind and soul. Encourage others in your family to do the same. Care-giving is intensive, over-whelming work, especially during crises. Just as the consumer needs a long recovery time, so do you.

Paying For Help Self-Pay clients pay the provider directly for their help. Many of these providers receive funds from various government agencies and have sliding scale fees.

Private insurance companies will often cover mental health care. However, there are usually restrictions and limitations to what they will pay for. Managed Care Companies act as middle men between clients and the insurance companies. They determine what medical care the insurance company will pay for or not pay for based on “medical necessity”.

Mental Health and Intellectual Disability Clinics offer mental health care on a sliding scale fee system and accepts Medicaid, Medicare, or health insurance.

Medicare is a federally funded health insurance program for senior citizens, and the disabled.

Medicaid is a state funded health insurance program for low-income families.

Updated 9/24/2019 117

The Children’s Health Insurance Plan or CHIP’s is a federal and state funded health insurance program for children who do not qualify for Medicaid but do not have any other type of insurance coverage.

Planning for Your Family Member’s Future Help your consumer obtain Social Security benefits. He or she may be eligible for SSI or SSDI.

You may want to consider creating a Special Needs Trust to support your consumer long- term. There are financial planners and lawyers who are experienced in this area.

Keep your will up-to-date.

Learn about housing options. Your consumer does not necessarily need to live with you, and, at some point, won’t be able to. Explore personal care facilities, government supported housing for the disabled, group homes and the like.

Consider current guardianship. If your consumer needs a guardian, you may wish to divide the job between a financial guardian and a personal guardian.

Plan for long-term care-giving and guardianship. Your consumer cannot depend on you indefinitely. Talk with family members to educate them on how to deal with someone with mental illness and discuss future care-giving possibilities. Again, responsibilities can be divided among two or more people. People outside the family can be engaged to carry out these responsibilities. Don’t put this off; no one knows what tomorrow will bring.

Rights for Individuals with Mental Illness The Advisory Commission on Protection and Quality in the Health Care industry has identified the following expectations for health care providers:

• Individuals have the right to emergency health care services when needed regardless of the ability to pay.

• Individuals have the right to accurate and easily understood information in order to fully participate in their health care decisions.

• Individuals have the right to have all information kept confidential as required by law.

Coping with a Crisis Don’t try to reason with the individual when he/she is in the turmoil of a crisis.

Talk in a calm, quiet voice, focusing on practical, workable, short-term solutions.

During a crisis, it is natural for us to become agitated, worried and upset – and to talk a lot in an effort to stabilize things, telling the consumer what to do. However, this can escalate the problem. Take a minute to calm yourself – and to let the individual calm a bit. Take a deep breath and

Updated 9/24/2019 118 focus on the major immediate issue. Keep your voice calm and look for practical, short-term solutions.

Take action immediately if you feel you might be in physical danger from an out-of-control consumer. At the first sign, call for help. Protect yourself. You cannot help anyone if you are hurt.

Trust your judgment about when it is time to intervene. You learn to recognize when some kind of intervention is necessary.

Make a crisis plan now. It is helpful to have a one-page summary of basic information about the consumer. Make copies to give, by fax or in person, when needed. You may wish to include: the consumer’s name, address, telephone number, driver’s license number, social security number, diagnoses, where and when hospitalized, recent medications (whether adhered to or not), any suicide attempts or violence, and the name, telephone and fax numbers of the most recent doctor. Include the name and telephone number of the family caregiver. (See sample crisis sheet at the end of this section.) Keep this summary with you or put it in a quickly accessible place.

Make a list in advance of the hospitals that have emergency treatment, and those which will take the consumer’s insurance/Medicaid/Medicare. If the consumer doesn’t have insurance, know the name and phone number of the county hospital. One option is to call the insurance company beforehand – they will often walk you through the admission process.

Assess whether your consumer is a danger to himself or others. When trying to hospitalize your consumer for psychiatric care, you will be asked, “Is this person a danger to himself or others?” Answering “yes” to this with specific reasons is the key to getting the consumer hospitalized. Don’t lie, but documentation can be helpful. Consider all aspects of the situation. One father recognized that his son was so out of touch with reality that he was likely to walk into a busy street without regard to safety, and thus was a danger to himself.

If police intervention is needed, identify the emergency as mental health-related and ask for a Crisis Intervention Team or a Mental Health Deputy. Keep this phone number in your wallet. These numbers are listed in previous pages of this manual.
