A family is talking with the nurse about the impact a schizophrenic son has had on the family.
The
father mentions that his health insurance provides limited coverage for psychiatric hospitalization
and even less coverage for outpatient treatment. Consequently, the family savings have been
depleted over the past 2 years. The mother relates that she has had to quit her job to provide
supervision for the son, who, if left to his own devices, brings drugs into the home, becomes violent,
and destroys furniture. The client's younger sister mentions she feels lost because her parents are so
focused on her brother that it seems as though they have no time for her. The topics discussed are
called
a. life cycle stressors.
b. psychobiological issues.
c. the family burden of mental illness.
d. stigma associated with mental illness.
