Who is hurt by the patient’s parents’ mantra of “annoying”?

In my more than 30 years of clinical work, I have often heard patients’ family members, especially their parents, blurt out the following mantra when they are distressed by the patient’s condition: “I’m so annoyed”, “I’m so annoyed”, etc. In the past, I did not pay attention to this point until I recently had a chance to notice the sadness and disappointment in the patients’ eyes when their parents involuntarily said such mantra. In the past, I did not pay attention to this, until recently, by chance, I noticed the sad, disappointed look in the patient’s eyes when the parents involuntarily said such a mantra, which touched me deeply. For the patient’s relatives who are suffering from the patient’s condition, there is nothing wrong with the feeling of “I’m sick of it”, but if such words are repeated often, especially in front of the patient, it is obviously a huge psychological damage to the patient. In the process of fighting the disease, the patient and the patient’s relatives and health care workers should have been hand in hand with each other as comrades. Only when we are of one mind and one heart and one strength, it is possible to achieve victory over the disease. Throughout history, in any war, comrades of one heart and one mind are to support each other, support each other, relentlessly adhere to the battle, do not give up, do not give up, until the final victory. In this process, whether in defense or offense, anyone who reveals discouraging words or actions and give up the fight will be seen as a deserter or traitor by his comrades. Then, in the midst of a concerted effort by the medical staff, the patient and the patient’s relatives to fight mental illness, the family’s frequent complaints of “I’m sick of it” are a bit like the behavior of a war-weary soldier who turns around and retreats from the battlefield. I think that not only do health care professionals have lower expectations and respect for their patients’ families when they hear such complaints, but patients have more complex psychological reactions when they hear such complaints. On the one hand, they may feel that their beloved relatives are also bored with them, and they may doubt the goodness and beauty of their parents’ descriptions, and even wonder whether their parents’ motives for treating their illnesses include other utilitarian purposes. On the other hand, it can take a huge toll on the patient’s heart. This is not only because the complaints like “I’m sick and tired” contain the emotion of abandoning the patient, making the patient feel that he or she has become a burden and a burden to the family, and feel guilty and even ashamed of his or her state; moreover, because such complaints contain the loss of confidence and despair in overcoming the disease, making it difficult for the patient to have the courage to support himself or herself independently to face the battle of overcoming the disease. Patients often choose to “give up on themselves” and “break the pot”, so that their condition will not heal, and even take the road to suicide. In my opinion, as the patient’s relatives, we should not only actively respond to the patient’s plight in terms of behavior, so that the patient can feel the strong support from relatives, and inspire the patient to use his or her own initiative to overcome the disease, but also actively respond to the patient’s plight emotionally and mentally, so that the patient can always feel the warmth and care from family members, so that the patient can always feel that he or she In the battle against the disease, the patient is not alone, but has a very strong and reliable backup team to fight alongside him/her, so that the patient will have the courage and fighting spirit to get the final victory. Therefore, complaints such as “I’m sick of it” can never give the patient the motivation and confidence to overcome the disease, nor can they bring the patient the results of overcoming the disease, but only bring the patient harm, shame and disappointment. Of course, I think that psychiatrists, as professionals, should not only use their professional knowledge to guide patients and their relatives to correctly deal with the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of mental illness, but should also always maintain the confidence that they will overcome mental illness together with their patients, and always have the intention to convey such belief and confidence to their patients to inspire them to overcome their illness, so that patients can also actively play their own subjective The patient can also actively play his or her own initiative and eventually obtain the result of overcoming the disease. At the same time, doctors should always remind patients’ families to never give up their own efforts in the whole process of fighting the disease, and to fight together with patients with the confidence that they will win the battle for the final victory.
