Tariq has a long-term mental health diagnosis. A community psychiatric nurse visits him at home, checks whether he is taking his medication and notices early signs that his symptoms are returning. The nurse arranges a prompt review. Later, a crisis resolution and home treatment team visits at short notice when Tariq becomes very distressed. At a medical appointment, a clinician sees Tariq's diagnosis and assumes that his chest pain is caused by anxiety, so possible physical causes are not investigated.
Using Tariq's experience, explain how two features of care in the community respond to his changing needs and how stigma affects the healthcare he receives.
