The four major pains of the families of patients with depression
1. Deeply guilt
With the in-depth understanding of Depression , family members are often ashamed of the sick relatives, believing that the other party is sick because they have not taken good care of them.
2. Feeling frustrated and powerless
Depression is long-term and prone to recurrence. During the long treatment process, family members will feel that no matter what they do, the effect is not good, the prognosis of the disease is not obvious, and sometimes they are not even cooperated with the treatment. He can't change him/her with all his means, and he is full of frustration.
3. Feeling isolated and helpless
0. Family members don’t know when their relatives’ illness will be cured, nor do they know who can help them. Family members without reference materials do not know what to do and see hope and future.
4. Repeat the pain of relatives
When family members are helpless and desperate, they may repeat the pain of sick relatives. They are too worried about their relatives' situation and live in painful anxiety and depression for a long time, and even collapse and commit suicide. They also become patients with depression.
Why do we suffer so much if there are patients with depression in our family?
In a family, family members have a close relationship and influence and are interdependent. In the process of taking care of patients, family members need to get along for a long time, adjust their life and work rhythms according to their needs, and hinder communication with their relatives due to illness.
If the other party does not cooperate with the treatment and is unwilling to take the medicine as prescribed by the doctor, it will increase the psychological pressure of the family.
At present, the treatment of depression is mainly concentrated on patients, and society does not pay much attention to the mental health problems of family members, which often makes them have nowhere to talk about, which is also one of the reasons for their pain.
So, when family members accompany patients, how can family members protect their spiritual world?
First of all, family members can also allow themselves to have emotions, but at this time, family members often need to be sober and remind themselves: "Don't be affected by the negative emotions of the patient, and bring their emotions into a sad, painful, negative, and pessimistic mentality! In that case, I will also suffer with pain. I must be calm, strong, and optimistic!"
If the emotions of family members are brought into it, the road to companionship will be full of more uncertainty and pain.
In fact, when depression patients are particularly negative, they don’t want to see their families join in the fun. What they want is: patient encouragement and guidance from family members, listening to their ideas, giving them some comfort, helping them build confidence to overcome depression, etc. These energy is what the depression patients desire and need in their hearts. Although they hate their family members in person, they are actually more common.
Therefore, the families of depression patients must not be serious about them, because for a family, understanding and tolerance are always the best, and a warm home is ultimately a place that emphasizes emotional and emotional experience. If you are blaming each other, you are wrong or he is wrong, please stop immediately. Therefore, when dealing with depression patients, you must have a selfless spirit and be extremely understanding and tolerant!
Finally, professional matters must be handed over to professionals! Relatives must encourage patients to receive professional treatment and communicate more with professionals. Then just stay quietly by your side. If you become depressed and unable to relieve pain during the care process, you must not tolerate it, and do not escape, and seek professional help.
