Mental Health Case Study
Melanie is a 16 year old who lived with her parents and two siblings in a suburban neighborhood until her parents separated 6 months ago. At that time her school performance began to decline and she was truant from school, frequently not returning home until after dark. When she arrived home, she was verbally abusive to her mother when asked where she had been. Three days ago, her relationship with her boyfriend of 1 year ended when he told her she had “changed” and he didn’t know how to “relate to her anymore”. That evening, Melanie became very disruptive at home, breaking lamps and mirrors and turning over furniture. When her mother attempted to talk to Melanie, her daughter threatened her. Melanie was admitted to the children’s psychiatric unit of the local inpatient mental health facility.
Since her admission, Melanie has refused to attend any group sessions or talk to staff and spends most of her time in her room. At change of shifts today, the staff heard a loud noise after which the nurse practitioner and two psychiatric technologists rushed to Melanie’s room. There they observed Melanie screaming incoherently and throwing chairs against the wall; clothes were littered across the floor (Broyles, 2006). You will need to answer the following questions and summarize in 1-2 paragraphs.
What is a potential diagnosis for Melanie?
What impact might Melanie’s level of growth and development have on her response to life stressors?
What are the priorities of care for Melanie at this time?
What other assessment data would be helpful for the nurse practitioner to have?
What factors should the nurse practitioner consider prior to approaching Melanie?
Do you think that Melanie’s behavior at home warranted hospitalization and why or why not?
Do you think Melanie’s present behavior warrants continued hospitalization, why or why not?
Melanie’s mother calls the unit every day to check on her daughter but is not sure whether she should visit Melanie because as she says, “I’m afraid I’ll upset her. I think she feels that this whole situation is my fault. I love my daughter and I just want her to get well.” How would you respond to Melanie’s mother?

Exercise 1: Looking at Florence’s Problem on Three Levels
Instructions: Looking at Florence’s problem as she presented it to the case manager. Decide which parts of her problem are on the micro level.
Florence came in to see a case manager in an agency that addresses child abuse and neglect. Recently her daughter, Crystal, was removed from the home because of complaints by neighbors that she was abusing the child. An investigation of the situation by child-care worker indicated the abuse was severed. The discipline she was administering was discipline she had experience and witnessed as a child from her parents and her aunts and uncles who lived on farms near her family. Florence related that she was the oldest daughter, third of nine children, of a farm family of 12 people. Her parents worked hard from sun up until long after dark. Much of the housework was done by Florence and her aunt, who lived with them. Her mother was ill, often in her room in bed. Florence does not know what the illness was, but does not recall her mother ever seem a doctor. She tells the case manager that she knows her mother and her aunt did not like her.
At 18, Florence ran away with Dave, who did mechanical work on cars. “He was my first and only boyfriend”, she explains, weeping. Florence and Dave never married, and they had one child, Crystal. Last April, Dave died in a car accident on the interstate. Florence cries as she describes that night and the way the police came to her trailer and how kind they were to her. She describes how alone she has felt ever since.
Florence received welfare. She completed eight grades before her father “yanked me out of school to do housework. Said it was no place for a girl. A girl didn’t need any schooling.” “Florence has enjoyed school, mostly from the companionship of other girls.” I’m shy of people, you know. But at school I had friends”.” Florence remembers school as hard, and she had trouble with subjects like math and science. ‘Mostly I sat there and worried about what would happen when I got home from school. It was always something: Mom was worse, I was in trouble, and there was some big push to get in a harvest. I was glad when I quit.
Leaving with Dave has alienated Florence from her family. “Dave use to say, “They’re just mad “cause they can’t use you no more. “For this reason, Florence has not seen her family since Dave’s funeral, and they have made no attempt to get in touch with her even though they are only a few miles apart. The welfare agency reports that their workers have rarely seen Florence and have not as yet offered her any services for going t.

2. Melanie’s three children How many 21 year-old mothers of three young children have disappeared in the last two years? ONLY ONE: Melanie Metheny Nathan, 4 Ryan, 6 Hannah, 3
3. The goals in Melanie’s life were defined by the three little ones sitting in her lap in this photo. “ My whole life revolves around my three kids. My oldest boy Ryan is three and will be four in March. My middle boy is two he will be three in October, his name is Nathan . My last child and youngest is Hannah she is 11 months she will be one year old in March.” –Melanie Metheny for SPOKES, March 16, 2006
4. Melanie was honest about mistakes she had made, absolute in her dedication to her children’s well-being and education, and very involved in their day to day lives. “ Ryan is in this head start program at Morris Enrichment Center a church in Kanawha City. He goes two days a week and does great. He is so smart! He comes home and tells me all about his day and all about the kids in his class. I was only 16 when I had him, and I had no clue how to take care of a baby. But, when I saw him for the first time it just hit me, and after that it came natural.” –Melanie Metheny for SPOKES March 16, 2006
5. Melanie was loyal, open and matter of fact about the people she loved and very perceptive about what her children were going through in their life with their “single Mom.” “ Nathan is my spoiled baby. He slept with my fi ancé and me until he was almost two. So it’s hard leaving him every day to go to school. He goes to school every day, and he normally breaks my heart every morning. He gives me this pathetic look like it’s the end of the world, and as soon as he sees me start to leave he starts screaming. It kills me every time. But when I pick him up at the end of the day his daycare teacher always says he does great and he sees me, grabs his coat and doesn’t look back.” –Melanie Metheny for SPOKES March 16, 2006
6. Melanie was a keen observer of her children’s behavior and determined to find ways to further their education. “ Hannah is my only little girl and she is the sweetest little thing you’ll ever meet. She looks just like me when I was a baby. She is not shy, she’ll go to anyone and she will smile you to death. Her daycare teachers tell me every day that she never even cried. She’s just learning to walk, and it’s so cute she will walk with you holding her hand, but as soon as you let go she will take a step and realize you’re gone and get excited, and it looks like she’s trying to jump instead of walk.” –Melanie Metheny for Spokes March 16, 2006
7. Melanie Metheny was headed for a career involving children: their health, their education and their development. It would be unthinkable for her walk off and leave her children and impossible for her to go on without them. “ Being a single mom is not easy at all but watching my kids grow up and watching them learn new things for the first time is the greatest feeling I’ve ever had. I would not change them for the world, and I don’t know where I’d be right now if I didn’t have them. But I know my life wouldn’t have as much meaning.” –Melanie Metheny for SPOKES March 16, 2006
8. In her SPOKES courses, Melanie’s showed steady progress in Applied Math: an important key to unlock future employment in medical science With the future of her three children at stake, Melanie took her second chance education very seriously.
9. Melanie’s also exemplified success in Technology and Business Writing: two more keys to a bright future combining children and medicine. Melanie was all set to be enrolled as a Freshman for the Fall semester 2006 at West Virginia State University.
10. Melanie was so totally INTO making the future better for her children that SPOKES chose her as their “model student,” their poster student.
11. On June 3, 2006, just 46 days before her disappearance, Melanie was still following up on her plans to attend WVSU.
