Concepts and common types of geriatric psychosis

  Psychosis refers to a serious psychological disorder in which the patient’s mental activities such as cognition, emotion, volition, and action behavior can have persistent and obvious abnormalities; cannot study, work, live, or live normally; action behavior is difficult to be understood by the general public; and under the domination of pathological psychology, there are action behaviors of suicide or attacking or hurting others. Schizophrenia, manic-depressive psychosis, menopausal psychosis, paranoid psychosis and various organic pathologies accompanied by psychosis, etc. Patients and their families should cooperate with psychiatrists in their treatment. There are also many people who like to equate neurosis with mental illness, especially psychosis, and always say in a mocking tone: you have neurosis. In fact, it is a misconception that neuropathy and psychosis are distinguished from each other. Psychosis belongs to the range of psychological disorders and neuropathy belongs to the range of organic pathology. Understanding the major symptoms of psychosis can effectively lead to early detection and treatment, and improve the cure rate of psychosis: 1. Thinking rupture Patients do not have a center when they think about problems, lack corresponding connections between sentences and sentences, speak without a preamble, turn things upside down, have a head but no tail, and lack organization. Doctors are completely unable to communicate verbally and conduct medical examinations with patients who have a breakdown in thinking.  2. Emotional disorder Distant, cold and even hostile to relatives. Acting cold and indifferent to everything, sitting all day in boredom, and thinking nonsense. Patients with significant emotional disorders completely lose the ability to self-manage, which seriously affects eating, sleeping and resting, causing serious harm to patients’ own health.  3.Hallucinatory delusions Hallucinations are mostly hallucinations, in which the patient hears people talking to her in the air or on the room, or hears some people talking about her. The patient’s behavior is often influenced by hallucinations, and even obeys the “instructions” of hallucinations to make some dangerous actions. Hallucinatory delusions can lead to sudden behavioral changes, such as suicide, self-injury, impulsivity, running away, and lack of self-awareness.
