Mental disorder patients once sick drug treatment is very important, some patients since the disease long-term rest home treatment, gradually detached from society, interpersonal communication, daily life and other social functions are declining. In fact, mental disorder patients rely only on drug treatment is often difficult to achieve satisfactory results, must focus on social rehabilitation, strengthen self-training, in order to achieve real recovery. So, in addition to medication, what else can patients with mental disorders do? 1. Receive psychotherapy and learn to live: learn what you can handle and what you can no longer handle. Learn to understand your symptoms better and accept that reality. Learn how to get out of the low moods and how to deal with the deep and sometimes raging emotions, both yours and those of your family. The ultimate goal is for you to be able to get a better handle on what’s happening to you, as well as learn how to deal with your problems and live with them. 2. Deal with emotions and go with the flow: Emotions can sometimes be excessive. For example, parents, peers or siblings who harbor deep feelings for you may care for you too much. However, sometimes the result of this over caring can make you feel wrapped up in layers. With or without the help of a therapist or guidance counselor, you should try to talk to them about this feeling you have. This is because the over-expression of such feelings around you can have a negative impact on your healing process and increase the risk of recurrent illness. 3. Live a calm life and seek stability: You can try to restrain yourself from thinking about things that cause excessive tension, stress, emotional turmoil and confusion, keep your balance in simple things, ensure a good night’s sleep, be sure that during the day you have something to do, and allow yourself to form habits. Learn to recognize tensions (whether at home, at school, at work or in a day treatment center) and deal with them constructively. Organize your life with a schedule of daily activities, spend your time on meaningful things, make appointments with yourself, figure out what you’re going to do, and care about your friends, co-workers, and family, who will care about you just as much as you care about your body. Do things that relax you, like listening to your favorite music, reading a good book or going for a walk in the park. Allow yourself to benefit from and enjoy these things. Be careful not to isolate yourself from society. Make an effort to form a habit of studying or working (even if it’s obligatory) so that you have the opportunity to engage with other people.
