Psychosis is a serious mental illness that not only affects the patient's daily life and work, but also places a huge burden on the family and society. However, with the advancement of medicine, there are more and more methods of mental disorders. This article will introduce you to the current common methods of **psychosis**.
1. Drugs**.
Medication is the most important method of psychosis, which can help patients relieve symptoms and improve their quality of life. Commonly used antipsychotic drugs include chlorpromazine, olanzapine, risperidone, etc. These drugs can improve positive symptoms (e.g., hallucinations, delusions, etc.), negative symptoms (e.g., apathy, social withdrawal), and cognitive function.
Medications** need to follow the doctor's advice, take the medicine strictly according to the doctor's instructions, and do not increase or decrease the dose or stop the drug by yourself. At the same time, patients need to have regular physical examinations and monitor their medications***
2. Psychology**.
Psychology is another important method of mental illness, which can help patients adjust their psychological state, improve their coping ability and quality of life. Commonly used psychological approaches include cognitive-behavioral, family, and supportive psychology.
Cognitive-behavioral** can help patients identify and change negative thought patterns and improve their ability to cope with stress. Family** focuses on the adjustment of the patient's home environment, improving the relationship between family members and providing better support to the patient. Supportive psychology** is designed to help people cope with life's difficulties by providing emotional support and advice.
3. Society
Social*** is an important way to help patients regain social functioning, and it includes occupational**, social skills training, and family interventions. Through these *** patients, they can gradually regain their ability to work and live, and improve their quality of life.
Occupation** can help patients regain their vocational skills and improve their employability. Social skills training focuses on the interpersonal skills of patients to help them better integrate into society. Family interventions provide better family support by improving the home environment.
Fourth, electric convulsions**.
Electroconvulsions are a physical method that is suitable for some patients with refractory psychosis. Electroconvulsions** are the use of electrical currents to stimulate the brain, causing seizures to relieve psychiatric symptoms. This approach may be effective in some patients who do not respond to or are intolerant to medications**.
It should be noted that electroconvulsions** need to be performed under the advice and guidance of a doctor, as it may bring some *** such as headaches, nausea, memory loss, etc. At the same time, electroconvulsions** are not suitable for all patients, and the specific scope of application needs to be determined by the physician according to the specific situation of the patient.
5. Phototherapy. Phototherapy is a new type of psychiatric method, which mainly improves symptoms by regulating the patient's biological clock and endocrine system. Phototherapy helps patients adjust their sleep and wake cycles and improve their mental state by controlling the timing and quality of light.
Phototherapy needs to be done under the guidance of a doctor, and patients need to receive it in a specific light environment**. The effects of light therapy vary from person to person and may be helpful for some patients.
In short, there are many ways to treat mental illness, and patients need to choose the right method for themselves under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, family members and society also need to give enough support and attention to patients to help them live better.
