First, negative attitudes should be overcome. Negative emotions of family members, such as shock, sadness, anxiety, frustration and exasperation; not accepting the reality and not admitting that it is a disease; or covering up the true picture of the disease for fear of discrimination, etc., will not only not help to solve the problem, but also lose the opportunity of timely treatment and put the patient in a more unfavorable situation. Second, the attitude and treatment of patients should be changed. High emotional expression of family members (meaning that family members are overly emotionally invested in the patient, nervous and upset at any change in their condition, or overly blaming and protecting the patient, underwriting everywhere, or arbitrarily taunting, or disagreeing among family members) is one of the factors that cause relapse of the patient. Again, it is important to improve knowledge of mental illness. This helps to detect early signs of relapse and to take appropriate treatment measures in a timely manner. Knowledge of the therapeutic effects and side effects of medications can be of great help in cooperating with maintenance treatment. Since family members live with the patient for a long time, they know the patient’s condition much better and more deeply than anyone else, and subtle changes in the patient can only be detected by family members. The care and help for the patient is also irreplaceable by others. The experience accumulated by each family member is very valuable and can be a reference for other family members.
