For schizophrenia , many people feel that it is both serious and terrifying. Indeed, schizophrenia is a chronic and serious mental disorder and is very prone to repeated attacks.

patients suffering from schizophrenia have disordered basic mental activities (including thinking, emotions and will behavior). The connection between them is inconsistent and is not coordinated with the external environment.

For example, the patient has a distorted understanding and understanding of people or things in the outside world, resulting in incomprehensible and dangerous behaviors, mainly referring to hurting people and destroying things, self-harm and sudden departure.

In fact, these dangerous behaviors are dominated by specific mental symptoms. What should the family do in the face of this situation?

Commanding Audio-Disease - Self-harm and Self-harm

Instructive Audio-Disease content in schizophrenia patients is mostly threatening, and it is difficult for patients to distinguish the authenticity of this and absolutely obey it.

For example, if auditory hallucination makes the patient die, the patient will commit suicide without hesitation by jumping off a building, hanging himself, and hitting his head against the wall.

This situation often happens suddenly, and the family members cannot see any signs. It is only after the incident (if the suicide is not successful) that the patient is willing to say that it is a "voice" that makes him die. This situation is extremely dangerous.

Family practices:

Family members should attach great importance to it. If the patient is found to have symptoms of commanding auditory hallucinations, the family members should always be with the patient and take him to the hospital for medical treatment as necessary.

Disish delusion - Injure people and destroy things

Most schizophrenia patients adopt a patient and escape attitude towards the delusion of being killed, and a few patients will also "take the initiative first" and take the initiative to attack his "imaginary enemy".

Family practice:

Find out the patient's delusional object, that is, who the patient thinks is going to harm him. If the patient's delusional object is a family member, try to keep the family member away from the patient, at least not let him be alone with the patient.

When necessary, the family members must let the patient go to the hospital for treatment. If they are unwilling and have any behavior of hurting people and destroying things, they need to seek medical treatment and be hospitalized for treatment.

Depressed emotions - Self-harm and self-harm behavior

schizophrenia patients may develop depression, depression, and even pessimism and disgust during different periods of the disease. It is particularly important to note that a considerable number of patients who have successfully committed suicide are performed during the recovery period of the disease.

After the mental symptoms were eliminated, the patient was burdened with a heavy ideological burden because of his illness and could not correctly deal with practical problems such as school entrance, employment, and marriage. He felt desperate, so he chose to commit suicide.

Family practices:

For patients who have clearly expressed their concept of suicide, the family members should neither panic nor do they evade. They should actively discuss the pros and cons of self-harm and self-harm with the patients, help patients comprehensively and objectively evaluate various difficulties encountered in reality, detect the patients' psychological distress as soon as possible, and promptly guide them.

If necessary, you can seek help from a professional psychological counselor.

In the process of caring for patients with schizophrenia, as family members, should also do the following:

① Respect, understand, accept, care, support, and help patients;

② Correctly understand the disease, support patients to actively treat, early treatment and long-term maintenance treatment to achieve long-term stability of the disease;

③ Encourage them to actively participate in social activities in order to reduce or prevent disability. During this process, give more encouragement and affirmation to the patients, and set practical goals with the patients according to their abilities. You should not rush them;

④ Learn disease knowledge and treatment knowledge, help patients observe the condition, respond to changes in the condition in a timely manner, and adopt correct response strategies to avoid harm to themselves and others;

⑤ For patients' strange thoughts, behaviors and hallucinations that deviate from normal, they can be solved through treatment to avoid forcibly argue and correct, which angers the patient or causes the patient to feel disgusted.

These knowledge are crucial to the families of schizophrenia. If you find a mental illness, you must treat it in time, care for the patient with a normal mind, urge the patient to continue taking the maintenance dose of drugs, and do not add or subtract the drugs without authorization.
