Question: Discuss about theHealth and Carefor Clinical and Personal Recovery. Answer: Recovery refers to the return in the normal state of life and gets back the strength physically and mentally. In such circumstances, the patient can develop the new meaning and purpose of life (Bird et al., 2014). This can help the patient to recover his or her problems. The recovery from the mental health illness provides motivation to the patient to get a better life in future. In the case stories, it is seen that Janet is suffering from depression and had some mental health issues that needed to be resolved. In the version one, the traditional mental health service is shown where as in the version two the personal recovery system is shown. McGarry and Kent (2016) mentioned that recovery helps to regain the self-belief and help to manage the lives. Moreover, it provides supportive relationship and satisfaction. The assignment focuses on the recovery principles to check the efficiency of the recovery system and influence of it on a patient. The difference in between the clinical rec overy and personal recovery is discussed. From the perspective of the particular with the mental illness, the recovery refers to the gaining of hope with the retention of hope and understanding of the abilities and the disabilities of the individuals. This helps the individuals to engage themselves in active life, social identity, and personal autonomy and helps to understand the purpose of life with a positive sense of life. There are various recovery principles for the mental health practice: Uniqueness of individual- it is necessary to recognize that recovery is not all about the cure rather it is about the better lifestyle. Recovery is the satisfaction and gets a purpose of life. Recovery is being a valuable member of the community (Gureje et al., 2015). This principle helps to empower the person so that they can recognize the care, which they receive. Real choices- the real choices help to support the individuals so that they can make choice of life that is how they want to live their life and acknowledge the choices creatively. This ensures the balance in between the duty of care and support to the individual so that they can get new opportunities and make their own choice (Smith et al., 2016). Attitudes and rights- attitude and rights include the involvement of learning from, listening to and action upon the communication from particulars and caregivers. This principle will promote as well as protect the legal human rights and citizenship of the individual (Hiday Moloney, 2014). Dignity and respect- it helps to provide the dignity and respect to the patient so that it can start the life in a new way. This principle helps to support the individuals so that they can maintain and improve the social, occupational, vocational, and recreational activities. Belsher et al. (2016) mentioned that the recovery principle challengers the discrimination and stigma of the community. This involves the sensitivity and respect for others. Partnership and communication- this principle acknowledges the individuals, which involves the working in partnership in between the caregiver and participants. This provides support to the individuals. This principle helps to know about the importance of value and information sharing, which helps the individual to participate in an effective communication (Kidd, Kenny McKinstry, 2015). Evaluating recovery- recover oriented health practice ensures and makes enable to evaluate the recovery base practice. This helps the individual to track his or her own progress. These principles provide opportunities develop the relationship with family members as well as social relationship with the health outcomes (Lanata et al., 2015). Clinical recovery is the idea, which the mental health care expertise emerge and involve to get rid of the symptoms, social functioning and restoring to get back in the normal life. The traditional mental health services ignore the recovery principles. The people, who work in the traditional mental health sectors, cannot understand the recovery principles and the way to implement those principles. From the story of Janet, the issues of traditional mental health are clear. She visited the GP, who suggested her to meet the mental health service (YouTube., 2014). However, she did not get the help of mental health service. She tried to get the help of crisis team, who did not help her properly and made her more depressed. After the six years, she got totally depressed and home sick. She put on weight and became lazy who live her life on foods and sleep. Personal recovery refers to the unique process that helps to change the attitude, value, goals and roles (health.gov.au, 2010). This provides supports to the individuals and gains the belief of individuals. In this story, it is seen that Janet gave an online test from which she came to know that she is depressed. She contacted with personal recovery center, where she met with Lisa, who became the mentor of Janet. Janet started to feel good and shared her feelings and incidents with her. Lisa helped her very much so that Janet can get rid of her depression and spent a normal lifestyle. Whenever Janet felt like suicidal, Lisa helped her to calm down. Lisa sent her to a peer run crisis house, where Janet felt safe and happy. In the crisis house, Janet met with Helen, who helped her to get rid of the incident of sexual abuse. The stories are about a girl of 19 years old. In the first story, it is shown that how the traditional mental health discouraged her and she became depressed and overweight. In the second story it is shown that the personal mental health motivated her to get rid of depression and start a new life to get a successful career in future. From both the stories, the different perspective and mentality of people will be clear that influence the progress of a treatment (Travis, 2014). In such circumstances, Grob (2014) mentioned that the behavior of the individuals can help the patient to overcome the problem or get more depressed. Janet is only nineteen years old girl, who had passed through various bad experiences. She could not share those experiences with others. She is distressed and depressed. At the age in between 10 to 15, she faced sexual harassment, which she could not share with family members or others. In the first story, in case of traditional care, she felt feared and more depressed. People ignored her and tried to humiliate (OHagan, 2014). On the other hand, in the second story, in case of personal recovery, in the peer run crisis house, Janet felt happy and participated in various activities. Helen, the mentor of the peer house helped Janet and inspired her to get back in the normal lifestyle. From the discussion, the efficiency of the personal recovery is seen. Sometimes, Janet gets afraid and hears some voice, which influences her to commit suicide. In the first scenario, no one tried to understand the problems of Janet and as a result, Janet could not share her feelings with anyone. This made her more depressed. In the second scenario, whenever Janet felt to commit suicide, Helen or Lisa tried to calm down her by rubbing her back and encouraged her so that she can overcome the situation (OHagan, 2014). In every cases, the difference between the traditional mental health and the personal recovery. In the first story, whenever, Janet asked her doctor to reduce the dosage of drugs, her doctor replied that those dosages are necessary for her recovery. Her doctor said that if the dosage are reduced, she cannot survive. However, those high dosages of drugs make her feel uncomfortable and vulnerable. In the same context, the second story showed different result. After few days of medication, when Janet asked Lisa that she felt uneasy due to the high dosage of drugs, Lisa became happy. The main reason of Lisas happiness is that this is the sign of recovery. She reduced the dosage of drugs that provided relief to Janet. Lisa behaved very friendly with Janet that makes her feel happy. In the first story, Janet felt very uncomfortable and alone in the care home as no one communicates with her (OHagan, 2014). In the second story, people encouraged Janet so that she can get rid of her problems and get back to the normal lifestyle. She could participate in various activities like drawing a nd go for the long walks. In the first story, traditional mental health caregivers locked Janet in a room for several days, where Janet felt lonely and afraid in the locked room. She wanted to go outside but no one allowed her. However, in the second story, Janet was allowed to go outside the house but every time one caregiver went with her so that Janet may not feel alone or vulnerable (OHagan, 2014). Therefore, from this discussion it is clear that there is a lots of differenced in between two types of recovery system. Based on the above discussion, it can be said that personal recovery provides better outcome than the traditional mental health care. Moreover, the personal mental health care maintains the recovery principles and care about the people who suffers from the mental health illness like depression. The mental health care providers need to be polite with the patient so that they can share concerns with the professional and get over their problems quickly. This helps the individuals to engage themselves in active life, social identity, and personal autonomy and helps to understand the purpose of life with a positive sense of life. This involves the sensitivity and respect for others. This provides support to the individuals. These principles provide opportunities develop the relationship with family members as well as social relationship with the health outcomes. This principle will promote as well as protect the legal human rights and citizenship of the individual. This principle helps to empower the person so that they can recognize the care, which they receive. References Belsher, B. E., Jaycox, L. H., Freed, M. C., Evatt, D. P., Liu, X., Novak, L. A., ...
