Abstract

Psycho-social assessment sheet which is developed for assessing psycho-social factors of patients with neurological disorder and hospital anxiety and depression scale has been used in the case report. This report also focuses on the caregiver’s issues and the associated interventions. The common psycho-social intervention which was used in this case has alleviated patient’s emotional distress and helped her go through rehabilitation process effectively. Findings of this case study support the fact that medical management complimented with psychosocial intervention could help the patient and family members deal with social and psychological dysfunctions effectively.
