Since ancient times, the mentally ill have been a vulnerable group that has been discriminated against. Nowadays, although society’s attitude toward the mentally ill has changed, discrimination and prejudice against them are still prevalent. In response to this situation, how should mentally ill people face it? First of all, they should be confident and not give up on themselves and stop being aggressive because they have mental illness; they should prove their value to the world with an optimistic attitude and a positive state of life, and go to society bravely. Although many patients are cured after treatment, they are reluctant to go to work for fear of being looked down upon by others, do not take the initiative to interact with others, and always stay at home and close themselves off; some patients do not dare to go to the psychiatric department openly for fear of being met by acquaintances, or for fear that others will look at them with different eyes, so they cannot adhere to treatment, resulting in recurrent attacks. In fact, many patients have good results after treatment, and can work and live normally; go to society, prove their value with action, engage in work that they can do, take the initiative to care and help others, but also to give society the opportunity to reacquaint themselves. Secondly, to exercise patients and improve their ability to cope with difficulties and setbacks. People will experience all kinds of difficulties and ups and downs in their lives, not because they have had mental illness, belong to the disadvantaged groups, they always look forward to the care of family, friends and colleagues, like flowers in the greenhouse, can not withstand the wind and rain, the slightest setback will relapse; patients themselves should work harder, to recognize their own shortcomings, consciously change and exercise themselves, improve their mental capacity, face up to the negative events in life The patient himself should make efforts to recognize his own shortcomings, consciously change and train himself, improve his psychological tolerance, face up to various negative events in life, and solve the difficulties encountered in real life with a positive attitude. Once again, you should not use your illness to play, and you should not use your “special” status as a psychiatric patient to blackmail people around you or to achieve certain goals. I once heard a patient claim: “Mental patients are sick, beat people for nothing, no jail time for murder, no legal responsibility ……” In fact, this practice is tantamount to self-destructive image, increasing people’s fear of the mentally ill, so that people back off, but also It also aggravates discrimination. In the past, due to the limitations of medical conditions, many patients were not treated in a timely manner and were left to develop and aggravate their illnesses, even doing various things that harmed others and endangered society, leaving a bad mark on people’s minds; nowadays, medical development is progressing rapidly and new types of drugs are being introduced, and many patients can work and live normally after treatment. But the discrimination against mental patients has a long history, and this phenomenon is difficult to change completely in the short term. In addition to the need for society to strengthen mental health education and promote understanding of mentally ill patients, we also need to make our own efforts to change the bad image formed in people’s minds in the past and reverse people’s discriminatory attitudes. In addition, it is important to be fully prepared to face discrimination. Even if there is no mental illness, there are many people who are discriminated against for various reasons (such as physical impairment, intellectual disability, race, etc.). Even if we do a good job, it is impossible to get everyone’s approval. There are times when our expectations are not too high. We cannot change society, but we can change ourselves to adapt to it. Dante said, “Go your own way and let others talk.” As long as we can serve the society, live our own lives, live our values, and live without shame, what’s the harm even if a few people can’t understand? Now society is paying more and more attention to mental health, more and more people from all walks of life are devoted to mental health, and mental health knowledge is gradually becoming popular. I believe that in the near future, mental illness will be treated as a common disease, just like other medical and surgical diseases, and people can treat it with a normal heart; the discrimination against mental patients will also be gradually reduced with the progress of society.
