If, after an assessment by a psychosomatic medicine, mental health, or psychiatrist, a patient is deemed to need the help of medication to improve his or her quality of life and reduce the impact of the disease on the patient, and the patient is unwilling to choose to take medication, the harm that may be brought about is different in different individual patients. 1. Mild depression only affects the patient’s study, work, and life to a certain extent. Moderate, severe, and even very severe patients can harm themselves and others, and can threaten their own lives and the lives of others. 2. Patients with schizophrenia who do not take medication have difficulty maintaining normal school, work, and life, while severe cases can even occur where they harm themselves and others, putting their lives and the lives of others at risk. It can be seen that there are multiple hazards of not taking medication for mental illness, and the hazards vary from patient to patient.
