In the case of mental disorders, the first step is to seek professional treatment at a formal medical institution, which involves medication, physiotherapy and psychotherapy. Regular treatment can often reduce the patient’s symptoms. Patients who have been hospitalised for a long period of time can be discharged after assessment by a doctor, but it is still necessary to continue to receive regular medication and rehabilitation in the community. The patient’s family should also provide psychological support so that the patient can resume social functioning as soon as possible.
