How should the severity of schizophrenia be judged? How should the effectiveness of treatment be evaluated? This is an issue that is easily misunderstood by family members in the course of treating patients. Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness that can only be reduced to remission through long-term medication and other methods of treatment. The symptoms of “dullness,” “laziness,” “suspicion,” and “confusion” vary from patient to patient, and there is no There is no distinction between the severity of the disease and the medical classification of patients with different symptoms into different clinical types. Patients with “suspicion” as the main manifestation have relatively slow progress and have some social adaptability for a long period of time. Although their ability to work is diminished, they can still go to work on time and even publish articles in newspapers and magazines and receive awards, and they are more sensitive to medication. However, there are individual types of patients, especially those with incomplete treatment, recurrent exacerbation, and longer duration of illness, whose symptoms are quite stubborn and insensitive to various drugs. For such patients, family members must not be bored, but must cooperate with the doctor and try every possible way to control the patient’s symptoms. Otherwise, if you give up the treatment, you will definitely cause the end of the decline, and finally not only can not work, even daily life need the assistance of family members to take care of. Patients with “confusion” as the prominent manifestation, family members and bystanders think that the disease is “heavy”, but in fact most of them are sensitive to treatment. Some of them can control most of their symptoms within a short period of time, so many family members, for financial and other reasons, strongly request that they be cured within a short period of time.
The most important thing is to stop taking medication after discharge. In fact, hospitalization is mainly to control the symptoms of the acute phase, which is only temporary and unstable, and if not treated systematically, it will definitely lead to relapse in the short term, and the treatment will be more difficult than once. Therefore, we advise these families to listen to the doctor’s arrangement, and they should, after being discharged from the hospital, insist on taking the medicine for a longer period of time, so that the disease can be truly cured. In addition, the treatment effect is related to the different types, but also to the individual’s sensitivity to the drug and the patient’s self-awareness of taking the drug and other factors.
