Single mother Xiao Ning, a year ago, sued for divorce because her husband had an affair and the other party was pregnant. Although she received financial compensation, the mental blow made Xiao Ning begin to doubt herself and her former relationship.
Sometimes when I was at work, I couldn't help but burst into tears when I looked at the computer screen. The mental blow caused Xiao Ning, who was a financial officer, to make three mistakes in a month. The last time, the company was almost fined and fired due to a financial information error.
The successive changes in marriage and career made Xiao Ning feel emotionally broken and he relied on drinking to numb himself every day.
Until one day, Xiao Ning, who was in a daze, opened the door and found her husband and the woman lying on the bed. She was smashing and smashing items like crazy, but when she cried and her emotions slowly calmed down, she found that there was no one in the room except for the messed items. All this was what she imagined.
After this, the hallucination problem became more and more serious. Sometimes, as soon as the child was sent to school, he would "see" the child lying in the house to sleep when he got home.
It was not until one time when my brother and sister-in-law came to visit her and found Xiao Ning who was "crazy", that she realized that there might be something wrong with her mental state. After
, she went to the hospital and was diagnosed with schizophrenia . After more than half a year of treatment, Xiaoning's mental state returned to normal. With the help of a psychiatrist, she gradually untied her heart and returned to normal life.
After reading this case, some friends may say that such cases are simply rare. Once a mental illness is diagnosed, it is difficult to recover. How can it be so smoothly?
To be honest, mental illness is indeed a relatively complex disease. It is difficult to treat and has a poor prognosis and is prone to recurrence, but this does not mean that this life will be ruined. A considerable number of people can recover from the condition and return to normal life.
Who is more conducive to recovering health from mental illness?
A team abroad has conducted a study on this, including depression , anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. The research results show that among these patients:
9.8% of participants with a lifelong mental illness can recover from mental illness.
Adults with substance use disorders history and depression are most likely to fully recover to reach a higher level of mental health.
patients with anxiety disorders, suicidal ideation, bipolar type I and bipolar type II patients can achieve clinical cure and full recovery in mental illnesses.
Compared with patients with multiple diseases throughout their lives, patients with only one disease have a 4.2-fold increase in the chances of fully recovering from mental illness.
Putting aside the data in this study, we can also see in the cases in actual outpatient clinics that for those mental diseases caused by obvious external factors, such as major event stimulation, environment, personality, etc., it is more conducive to clinical cure, return to normal life, and even if the medication can be stopped after sufficient full treatment.
For patients with a clear family history, they may need to take medication for life, but after treatment, they can restore basic social functions and live independently.
Mental patients, it is more conducive to rehabilitation of
01. Discover problems, seek medical treatment in time
Never take detours, and do not believe in folk remedies, face up to mental health, and seek medical treatment in time after discovering problems.
The earlier the disease is discovered, the easier it is to achieve clinical cure!
02. Take medicine as prescribed by the doctor, and do not stop taking medicine privately
. The reason why mental illness is highly repetitive is that patients cannot persist in the full course of treatment. After taking the medicine for a period of time, they think they have recovered. If they stop taking the medicine privately, they will reduce the medicine privately. If the treatment time is not reached, the probability of recurrence will naturally increase.
03.Assisted psychological counseling
At the same time as drug treatment, assisted psychological treatment is more conducive to solving problems hidden deep in the heart from the root and looking at yourself and the world with an objective attitude.
04. Stay away from those people and things that make you internally
Some of the people around us can give you positive energy, while others will consume you slowly. If you want to recover from mental illness faster, you must stay away from those people and things that are full of negative energy.
05. Develop good living habits
Don’t engage in stressful and mentally stressed work, don’t smoke, drink and stay up late to damage nervous system , maintain good living habits, combine nutrition for three meals a day, exercise appropriately, and go out to get close to nature. This will be of great help to your mental recovery!
