    Crisis Assesment

    Ariadne is a 17 year old Hispanic female with a history of depression, suicide attempt, and recent substance abuse. She feels unwelcome at school and not useful at home. She has been seen by a mental health counselor last year. She is able to talk to her friends and has one “special” friend but feels her family is too strict and has too many rules (courseroom2.capella.edu, assignment 3, 2013). Javanmivi, Kimiaze, & Hashem (2013) stated depression is one of the most common diseases in these days which have been known as mental flu. Adolescence also plays a pivotal and key role in our society in which depression is very common. So it is necessary to treat this disorder in adolescence (pg., 105). Ariadne will be difficult to reach because of her age. Being a teenager means finding your voice, which you are, what one likes and dislikes. They often challenge rules to set or get their independence. Based on my experience, they often come in looking for someone to agree with them, tell them they are right or just listen without being told no. In this crisis situation Ariadne passed suicide attempt and substance abuse stands out. The fact that she finds comfort in talking to her friends and not parents is second.

As her counselor, one would need to know what Ariadne plans to gain from this visit. Does she really want to be here? Sometimes depression hopelessness,…

Once we got into college she was determined to rush a sorority, because she felt that she needed to meet more people, associate with different types of people, and to be a part of something to make her college experience. She felt that if she did not rush, she would be alone and would not have a great time and succeed in college. Then about a couple months ago, she was going through a very though time. At that time, nothing seemed to be going right for her. Her grandfather was in and out of the hospital, her grades were slipping, and her family was not very close at the time.
