Relationship Between Seizures and Depression Document Type:Capstone Project
Therefore, the adults with seizure disorders have high risks of developing depressions as compared to the other population without the seizure depressions. The patient problems can thus be discussed using the transition theory. An example of the problem in relation to the transition theory is the situation where an 88-year old adult is admitted to the Good Sam Hospital for having the altered mental status. The patient’s characteristics are that he normally lives alone and independently. When the patient was attended to, it was found that he had developed seizure, and his past medical checkup states that he had earlier developed depression. One of the situations is the transition in the patient. The patient was heard screaming the whole night, and when he was found, he had the blood on his face.
