How to keep mental illness from recurring for life

Psychiatric disorders are clinical disorders that include schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder, and so on. Strictly speaking, it is impossible for psychosis to be absolutely lifelong without relapse, and it is easy to cause a relapse of psychosis when it is again subjected to external stimuli, such as the death of a loved one, long-term high-pressure working condition, or divorce of husband and wife. Therefore, after being cured, psychiatric patients need to pay attention to drug control and self-care in life in order to effectively reduce the chances of relapse of psychosis. A. Continue to use medication: Patients with mental illness can reduce or stop their own medication after being cured, which can lead to relapse, and adherence to medication is still an effective way to reduce relapse. You should try to follow the doctor’s advice for treatment to reduce the possibility of relapse of mental illness. Second, fully understand psychosis and improve their own state: 1, learn to control emotions: need to learn the relevant disease knowledge, fully grasp the factors that may cause the relapse of this disease, and try to avoid in daily life. Especially the emotional and affective factors are more important, learn to control their emotions, such as discussing with relatives or friends when things go wrong. Do not make their emotions in a long-term anxiety, depression, mania and other states, otherwise it is easy to induce a relapse of mental illness; 2, change bad habits: if you have smoking, drinking, and even alcohol habits, will cause damage to health, reduce the body’s resistance to disease, and easily lead to relapse of mental illness. You should try to avoid this kind of bad behavior, you can moderate a certain degree of physical exercise, such as slow walking, jogging, etc., you can also eat some nutrient-rich substances, such as eggs and milk rich in high-quality protein, rich in a variety of vitamins and dietary fiber fruits and vegetables to improve the body; 3, regular life: daily to maintain a good routine, such as early to bed and early to rise, do not overwork or Stay up late. Excessive brain activity at night can stimulate the nerves and cause the body to be in a state of excitement, and this poor routine can also trigger psychosis. Community management: Records of psychiatric patients will exist after medical treatment and will usually be filed in community hospitals after they are cured and discharged, and there will be psychiatrists to monitor the behavior and psychological guidance of patients and participate in relapse prevention in real time. Fourth, family support: family members raise awareness of the disease, encourage patients to face it positively, and supervise their medication. Psychosis can usually relapse under certain stimuli, so the presence of stimuli should be avoided in care. Emotional and psychological support from family members and a good living environment atmosphere can be more helpful in preventing relapse of psychosis. If medication control and life care are not done well after cure, or if dizziness, headache, insomnia and dreaminess, distraction, and preference for solitude occur due to recent mental stress, there may be a tendency for relapse. Patients are advised to seek medical attention if they have abnormalities and go to psychiatric psychiatry to find out if it is a relapse of psychosis. If it is, medication should be adjusted and psychological counseling should be conducted regularly under the guidance of the doctor. If not, follow the doctor’s advice and go to the appropriate department for consultation and treatment.
