If one wishes to undertake a career in psychiatric mental health nursing in the UK then one will need a BSc in nursing. One would then need to specialise in mental health.
At the very least, you would need a degree as a social worker to work with teenagers in an in-patient mental mental health unit. You might also want to pusue a degree in psychiatric nursing.
Community based nursing would include agencies like home health care and hospice. Community health nursing would include agencies like the department of health and human services (DHHS)- local agencies in the community. Public health nursing would include agencies like the CDC and FDA- government agencies.
The practice of "nursing" or delivering nursing care rests upon the health assessment. A health assessment asks about or observes every area of the body, mental and social health, and identifies problems through the assessment. Without an assessment, a nurse would not be as aware of the health problems affecting thispatient, or be prepared to do the patient education that this patient needs. A lack of nursing assessment would be like asking an everyday citizen to perform open heart surgery: A nurse, with proper education, training, and assessment skills can perform nursing duties that promote and protect the health and well-being of each patient.
As long as they obtain a Nursing License for the US State they would like to work in.
There are many places to look for studies for mental illnesses, such as bipolar disorder. Contacting local mental health agencies and hospitals would be a good starting point.
It's not a common course in US nursing programs, but I imagine it would useful in designing research.
a person who had good health would be good at athletic things as well as mental thing because when a person is in good health they will be able to move around and will have more energy to do more mental things
Whether you consider autism to be a mental health condition or not depends on how you define a mental health condition. Autism is a neurological difference so it is no more a mental health condition than being neurotypical, it's just a different form of brain development. Autism is not a mental health problem or mental health disorder because that would imply that neurotypical brains are the ideal and autistic people are somehow broken - we're not.
No, "mental" health, I assume, would be going with your instincts and trusting fully in yourself. Intellectual health would be basing your health and lifestyle off of books, doctors, magazines, or anything trustworthy from an outside source rather than your own. The difference between mental and intellectual health is trusting ones own instincts and decisions vs. the knowledge of everyone else.
Interests can refer to either mental health (accuity) or to emotional health (well being), but more accurately to social health, because common interests are one aspect of social interaction.
My advice would be to consult a mental health professional.
