Schizophrenia is a psychiatric disease that is a persistent, usually chronic, major mental illness. It is the most severe type of mental illness, characterized by basic personality changes, disruptions in thinking, emotions, and behavior, and disharmony between mental activities and the environment. It is the most common type of mental illness. What are the precautions for preventing schizophrenia?
Precautions for preventing schizophrenia:
1. Avoid living in a quiet room. A noisy and noisy living environment can only worsen the patient's condition. Therefore, after the patient falls ill, their family members should provide sympathy, arrange a quiet and comfortable environment for them, or send the patient to a quiet rural area for treatment, in order to shorten the course of treatment.
2. Avoid quietly accumulating medication. Some patients have suicidal thoughts and quietly accumulate sleeping pills and other medications, which can be swallowed in one go, resulting in suicide. Therefore, family members should monitor their actions and keep the medication properly. Each time they are given a dose, they should see the patient take it with their own eyes.
3. Avoid reading thrilling, murderous, and tragic novels, pictorials, comics, television, movies, etc. to avoid increasing the patient's excitement and exacerbating their condition.
4. Avoid falling back into the environment that initially induced the disease after treatment and recovery. Some patients with schizophrenia are induced by long-term abuse and discrimination from stepfathers and stepmothers. After treatment and recovery, the environment should be changed to avoid recurrence.
5. Avoid drinking and smoking. Smoking and alcohol are both irritating and should be listed as contraindications for patients with schizophrenia.
6. Avoid going out alone. Schizophrenic patients who go out alone have certain risks and should be avoided. Family members should strictly accompany and protect them.
7. Avoid playing with sports equipment such as knives, swords, sticks, etc. to prevent patients from mishandling and causing accidents.
8. Precautions for preventing schizophrenia also include avoiding practicing qigong. Most patients who practice qigong may experience a "qigong deviation" (improper practice of qigong may lead to a "madness"), which exacerbates their condition. Therefore, patients with schizophrenia should avoid practicing qigong.
