Depression among children and young people under 18 years old.
Choosing either Severe Mental Illness (e.g. Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia and Schizoaffective Disorder) OR Common Mental Illnesses (e.g. Anxiety, Depression, OCD, and so on), critically evaluate how service users are supported in their recovery and treatment processes by mental health services, private providers and third sector support organisations.
Briefly discuss/define what Severe Mental Illness OR Common Mental Illness means but the report must focus on critically evaluating the support service users receive from mental health services as well as private organisations and the voluntary sector in relation to their recovery.
Demonstrate understanding of what ‘recovery’ means in relation to mental illness and then discuss what support is provided by the statutory, private and voluntary sectors to aid service users in their recovery.
In your critical evaluation of the support service users receive, draw on qualitative studies where service users speak about what they think about support they receive and what recovery means to them.
Focus on the UK so data provided must relate to the UK.
Use a minimum of 8 academic sources (peer-reviewed journal articles/academic books) to support your discussion.
