During the decades I've been working in psychiatry, "this incident has been like a dark cloud that has been hanging over the heads of antipsychotic patients and their families. Especially for the mentally ill person, every time **, it is a heavy blow to his family. The more psychotic episodes there are, the more severe the cognitive impairment caused to the patient, eventually causing irreversible damage. Many patients with mental illness spend almost the second half of their lives in the hospital because of ** again and again. So, how to prevent psychosis?Family members and patients must do these 8 things well!
1. Taking the medicine on time with sufficient amount and full course of treatment, and following the doctor's instructions are the foundation of the best.
2. Pay attention to the needs of patients, help them and solve their specific difficulties.
3. Regular and on-time follow-up, so that doctors can keep abreast of the fluctuations of the patient's condition.
4. Do some first-class training every day, such as doing some math problems, and slowly restore the patient's social function.
5. Try to avoid the stimulation of stressful events.
6. Closely observe and record the condition, so that during the follow-up visit, the doctor can understand the patient's situation in as much detail as possible, so as to adjust the best plan.
7. The patient's own emotions should be stable, have a good mentality, and strive to do what he can.
8. Family members should learn to listen and give more companionship.
Psychosis is a very long process. We need the joint efforts of doctors, patients, and family members, and we must be brave in the face of diseases, doctors will give you scientific advice, family members will give you more encouragement, and the most important thing is that patients themselves must have a positive attitude.
