Cindy is a twenty-six-year-old female teacher at a very prominent high school. One day while in school on lunch break Cindy observed a confrontation between a male teacher at her school and the parent of a child from the sir’s class. The confrontation escalated and the parent pulled out a gun and shot the teacher and then just walked out. The teacher died on the spot. This was the first time Cindy experienced such an incident and she was traumatized. Cindy became very afraid to discipline the children in her class when the need arises. This affected her deeply and interfered with her teaching methods. She was even afraid to go back to school to teach. At nights she would have nightmares about the incident and just thinking about school causes her heart to race, her palms would be sweaty, and she would get dizzy. At times she felt as if she was having a heart attack. This disrupted her normally peaceful and well-balanced life. With her mother’s encouragement Cindy went to a psychologist where she was advised that she is suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome and Panic Attack disorder. QUESTION Analyze the case study by discussing the Mental Health challenges that Cindy is faced with mention the most suitable therapeutic approach that you will use to help her and how you will use the approach to help her.
