What should you do if you have a mental disorder? The first emotional reaction to knowing that you have a mental disorder is often low self-esteem. They feel that they are classified as a weak and incompetent person. In fact, whether or not a person suffers from a mental disorder is not determined by one’s own will, but by one’s childhood upbringing, in other words, it is “fate”. It only reflects and represents a person’s growth environment and developmental background, but not whether a person is strong and worthy. The second reaction to learning that they have a psychological disorder is pessimism and disappointment. This is because they are accustomed to thinking that they are the only person in the world who is most unfortunate and that they suffer from a disease that there is no way to overcome. In fact, according to the most conservative estimates, the prevalence of mental disorders in the population is also in two percent, that is, in our country’s more than one billion people, there are at least 20 million and you suffer from a similar mental disorder patients, so you are not isolated. Psychological disorders are not incurable, it can be said that most psychological disorders can be alleviated and cured through treatment. Only the remission and treatment need to pay the price of mental, financial and time. So, having a mental disorder is neither sad nor terrible, you just have to face your “fate” of having a mental disorder. After a calm reflection, you can slowly think about how to overcome your mental disorder. First, you must accept the reality of your “illness”; second, you must take the main responsibility for overcoming your mental illness; and then, if possible, seek professional psychological help or professional psychotherapy. Where can I get professional psychological help? At present, there are many institutions and departments in society that provide psychological help. In general, there are psychological hotlines, psychological counseling centers, psychological clinics or psychological clinics, psychiatric hospitals and psychiatric hospitals. Each of these psychological help resources has its own strengths and weaknesses, and patients with psychological disorders should choose to seek diagnosis according to the characteristics of their problems. Generally speaking, urgent daily psychological crises, such as suicide, family disputes and transient psychological troubles, are suitable for temporary relief through psychological hotlines. Learning disabilities and mild social maladjustment are suitable for psychological counseling at a counseling center sponsored by social educators. Neurosis, personality disorders, and psychosexual disorders with a longer onset and a certain personality base are suitable for going to psychological clinics or psychological clinics to receive systematic psychotherapy. Major psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia or manic-depressive disorder, on the other hand, are suitable for psychiatric hospitals during their onset and receive specialized treatment based on chemical drug therapy.
