In the chaotic society, many people need to seek help because of mental or psychological distress. In order to save time and efficiency for the majority of visitors to mental and psychological outpatient clinics, the author makes the following suggestions: 1. Now with the Internet, the knowledge on the Internet is really vast, from the East to the West, from ancient times to the present, all-inclusive, and there is also endless medical knowledge, however, there are also However, there are also many exaggerated advertisements. In response to this situation, visitors are advised to take public hospitals as the main direction, one is that public hospitals are more formal, medical activities have rules to follow, the second is that in public hospitals to see a doctor can enjoy medical insurance, the state for outpatient costs are assessed and limited, will not give you a lot of money to waste. The larger tertiary hospitals have psychiatric outpatient clinics, mainly for medication, and various cities have mental health centers, where there are psychiatric outpatient clinics and wards, as well as psychological counseling clinics, some of which are still very high level of psychological counseling. 2, before going to the clinic to sort out and summarize their own problems to be solved: first of all, when did you start to feel a change in yourself, before that there were no life events such as family changes, job changes, etc.. It is best to record the changes (psychological and physical) in this order to help the doctor understand you quickly, improve the efficiency of your medical treatment, and save your time. 3. Proper understanding of the current situation of psychiatry and psychotherapy Medicine is a developing science, not a developed science, just like there are still many poor people in developing countries, medicine can’t solve all diseases at present, there are thousands or even tens of thousands of diseases with definite names in the world, there are only a few hundred kinds that can be treated and only a few dozens that can be completely cured. Therefore, psychiatry cannot solve all the problems at present, and the cure rate of many mental illnesses is only about 50% in the world. The second is that most mental illnesses require long-term treatment. The acute treatment of heavy mental illnesses is three months, and many require maintenance treatment for a year or even longer. In the case of difficult medical history, multiple specialist consultations are also required. Due to people’s fear of mental illness, some people are afraid to go to psychiatric clinics for fear that the more they are treated, some people delay at home, hoping that they will be cured without treatment, and some people believe in exaggerated propaganda, believing in some “one-month cure, no side effects, never relapse” and so on, which are not scientific. I hope people can establish a scientific attitude, believe in medicine, face the disease realistically and treat it. Only with active and diligent treatment will there be good treatment results. 4, the medical records and laboratory tests in various places, in chronological order The consultation of course inevitably related to the examination, correct and reasonable examination to help doctors more effectively diagnose the disease, but also help doctors to exclude related diseases, for targeted treatment is essential. Because you have seen many hospitals before, some tests are duplicated and can be avoided, but some tests are not as accurate and need to be redone, such as the 12-lead EEG you did, which is not as accurate as the 64-lead and 128-lead EEG, and some diseases cannot be detected by low-end instruments. Then there are some indicators that change and need to be checked at any time, such as electrocardiogram and blood analysis, which change all the time and need to be checked from time to time. In short, be sure to bring your medical records and checklists, not just with your mouth, lest you forget, so that it will help you cure the disease. 5. Be sure to write down clearly the drugs you have used before and the drugs you are currently using This is because I have met many patients in the clinic who came all the way to the clinic but could not tell what drugs they had taken, which brought great obstacles to the treatment, for example, some patients said the doctor prescribed small red pills and took three pills a day, so the doctor could not tell what drugs you took. Be sure to remember the name of the drug and how to use it. If you can’t remember it in your medical record, be sure to write it down on paper, which will help your treatment and avoid more detours. Medicine and medication require rigor, and the slightest mistake can lead to unpredictable consequences, so you need to come to the clinic prepared for this. Some people come to the clinic with a book, this is good, I also have a book, often draw the treatment plan into a chart, morning, noon and night a few pieces, leave the note to the patient, the next time you come to the clinic to bring, this is very helpful to patients. It is also very helpful to the doctor. 6, see the clinic before deciding on a major decision medical decision maker Because of the special nature of mental illness, the need for early treatment, the earlier the treatment, the better the treatment effect, the later the treatment, the more difficult the treatment, this time, someone needs to help patients with mental psychology to take the idea. Many patients with mental illness need patient family persuasion, I met many family members in the clinic said: he does not want to take the medication, doctor you let her take the medication, as if he does not eat I can not help, this is not conducive to patient recovery, family members must support understanding patients, patient persuasion. And in the outpatient clinic, some treatment methods, such as long-acting needles, modified electrotherapy, etc., need to help the family decision-making, can not follow the patient’s natural, if you can not decide the treatment plan, the patient’s disease is delayed favorable treatment time. If the family’s views are not consistent, then find someone who can unify their views before deciding, often some patients have several relatives, inconsistent views can not decide the treatment plan, will waste a lot of time, that is, delay the treatment of patients. 7, psychiatry is also a science, with specialized methods and techniques Psychiatrists face different groups, but I believe that most doctors will do their best to serve their patients. In particular, psychotherapy requires patients to have a certain level of self-knowledge and comprehension. Some patients with mental illness are not suitable for psychotherapy, and doctors will talk to you clearly, not refuse to give you treatment. Some psychotherapy requires a suitable therapist, an appointment in advance, and adequate preparation by the visitor. Psychotherapy is not like a surgical operation, where I give it to the doctor and I don’t care about it, but psychotherapy is not like that. In writing this article, I hope that every patient who encounters mental problems and psychological problems can receive effective and reasonable help, and that everyone can take as few detours as possible and recover early, and I will also feel a sense of professional accomplishment and sincere happiness.
