As society progresses, more and more attention is being paid to mental illness, and the recent “school tragedies” have taken the concern for people with mental illness a big step further. Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness with a prevalence of 1%-2% and an annual incidence of about 0.5 per 1,000, so it is very important to understand and learn how to get along better with schizophrenics. To really get along with schizophrenics better, you need to have five “hearts”. Be more understanding. No matter what kind of disease you have, from the common cold to cancer, you need more understanding from your family and friends, and the same goes for schizophrenic patients. Because the patient has schizophrenia, we need to believe that he really feels the pain as he says, and experiences those unbelievable ideas and concepts. Be more tolerant. People with schizophrenia often have all kinds of thoughts and strange behaviors. Normal people do not understand these behaviors and cannot tolerate them. This is when we need to have a tolerant heart and put up with their different ideas and unexpected behaviors, rather than immediately going across the board to accuse them. In fact, for doctors, these strange thoughts and behaviors of patients are meaningful to help diagnose, judge the efficacy and prognosis. Does that mean we should be unlimitedly tolerant of patients? In fact, it is not to be unlimited tolerance. After the patient’s emotion is calm or his condition is controlled by treatment, he can be informed of his previous wrong thoughts and behaviors. Be more patient. Even after a schizophrenic patient has been treated with medication his or her bizarre thoughts, ideas, and behaviors are difficult to be changed. Therefore, we need to be more patient and tireless in explaining and changing their previous wrong thoughts, ideas, and behaviors when we are with the patient. However, we must pay attention to the method and timing when explaining, so as not to make the patient produce obvious aversion. If one generates obvious resistance and disgust, it is not good for our future contact with schizophrenic patients. Be more responsible. People with schizophrenia, like normal people, are members of the same social family. So as his family, friends, or even a stranger we don’t know, we need to remember that we are surrounded by them and have the responsibility and obligation to let them grow up just like everyone else. Show more love. Everyone needs love, love is the source of life, love is the source of happiness, and people with schizophrenia need love even more. Many people with schizophrenia have their condition under control after treatment, but they are still discriminated against by society. People around them always look at them with strange eyes, or even intentionally avoid them. This can make people with schizophrenia feel miserable, depressed, and even hostile to society, which can lead to the “school tragedy” mentioned earlier. Therefore, for schizophrenic patients, we need more than a smile, a greeting, a hug, so that those recovering schizophrenic patients can deeply feel that there is love everywhere and that society accepts them. Therefore, people with schizophrenia are not scary in themselves, what is scary is the discrimination of people and the rejection of society. In order for people with schizophrenia to better return to the social family, let us be more “understanding, tolerant, patient, responsible and loving”.
