Recovery from depression associated with Guillain Barré syndrome.
Autor(es): Gregory Robert J.
Resumo: Guillain Barré Syndrome is a rare disease, affecting primarily, but not solely, the peripheral nervous system. Because it is rare, many physicians, nurses, and health care practitioners see few cases in their careers. A case study, in which the patient/author was not diagnosed for approximately a year, is interesting because of associated depression. Recovery from depression is not simple. The steps achieved by the author took a great deal of effort. However, mental health nurses could play a more active role in raising questions for patients without a diagnosis or with evidence of mental confusion, and in assuring empathetic regard.
