On psychotherapy

summary

My sister, 25 years old, has been suffering from mental illness for more than a year, and now she has been cured. Now let me talk about the treatment of mental illness, which everyone is very concerned about.

On psychotherapy

First: the effect of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of mental illness is very slow. His treatment is a very long process, so we should maintain a certain amount of medicine for 1-2 months. Sometimes the individual reaction is different, so the drug dose is also different. For patients with first onset, drug treatment should be maintained for 1-3 years. For patients with multiple relapses, drug treatment should be maintained for more than 5 years, or even for life.

Second: as we all know, the condition of mental patients is not the same, each mental patient has its own different characteristics, so the amount of mental medicine should be based on the patient's own situation, generally starting from a small dose, if the dose is small, you can take it once after dinner. If the dosage is large, it is best to take it 2-3 times. The dosage of each time increases gradually according to the different conditions, but the specific dosage should follow the doctor's advice.

Third: in the early stage of psychosis, all aspects of the symptoms are not particularly obvious, so we should first seriously ask about the relevant medical history, and then make a clear diagnosis, do a detailed variety of examinations, identify the main symptoms of psychosis, exclude some other diseases, and then according to the specific situation of medication, strive for early detection and early treatment.

matters needing attention

Here, I would like to give you some warm tips: we should take medicine according to the doctor's advice, the patient's family members should take medicine on time, quantify, watch the patient swallow the medicine, for those who refuse to take medicine, we should patiently enlighten, let the patient rest more, drink more water, pay attention to the adverse reactions of drugs, if the adverse reactions are too large, we should contact the doctor in time for treatment.
