What if schizophrenia is not treated?

Thank you for your invitation. Let me tell you something about this problem, I hope it will be useful to you.

Without treatment, schizophrenia will become more and more serious, farther and farther away from us normal people, which is completely different from normal people's actions and words.

That's a ghost film we've seen before. It is incarnated by ghosts, and its every perception and action is controlled by ghosts.

The neurotic patients we saw on the road and in the street before are such schizophrenics.

For example, those who wear rags, those who don't wear clothes, those who listen to it talk to themselves, scold everyone, hit people, sing, cry, laugh and cry, and so on.

I don't know how to get home, day and night, completely out of the control of my brain. If I don't treat him, this man will be useless. As I said above, he will always be a patient.

Friend, if you have a schizophrenic at home, you must go to a mental hospital for treatment as soon as possible. Take the medicine according to the doctor's prescription and control the disease as soon as possible.

Under the guidance of doctors and the care of family members, the patient's condition will gradually improve. This disease is rarely completely cured, and there are usually some sequelae. The disease needs to be controlled by drugs. Please give me an idea.

Ok, that's all for the time being. I hope it helps you. I'll talk about it next time.

Hello, I'm a psychiatrist, Lao Shen. I have mental health problems such as insomnia, depression, anxiety, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. You can pay attention to me, and I know more by private letter!

Schizophrenia is the most harmful mental illness at present, so its final outcome is chronic decline. Therefore, in the late stage of the disease, schizophrenia is mainly manifested as negative symptoms, such as the decline of cognitive function and social function. Therefore, once a person gets sick, the social function of this patient will be greatly affected if it is not intervened in time and effectively. The final result is indifference and retreat, which is a special state independent of society. Studies have shown that during the development of schizophrenia, a series of changes have taken place in the structure and function of some brains, mainly manifested as brain atrophy.

I have treated many patients. As long as the treatment is standardized, most people can return to their normal work and life. Therefore, schizophrenia is not so terrible and can be cured.

If there is schizophrenia, family members and people around them must let the patient cooperate with the treatment, give the patient spiritual care, and avoid giving the patient room for daydreaming. Finally, I wish the patients and friends get rid of the troubles of schizophrenia as soon as possible and recover as soon as possible.

I don't think I need to say that you have the answer in your heart, just want to get it verified from others. As we all know, schizophrenia is the most serious mental illness at present. The mental symptoms of schizophrenic patients are very serious, and they often have serious hallucinations and delusions, which at least have a great impact on their lives. If such patients are not treated, of course, they still can't live a normal life, which will bring a lot of trouble and even a lot of danger to their families and people around them, and will make schizophrenics farther and farther away from their lives, even more and more serious. In short, schizophrenia is not treated, how to treat it?

The development direction of schizophrenia

Talking about the development direction of a mental illness actually refers to the changes of patients' diseases. As a schizophrenic, when he may be diagnosed with schizophrenia, his family and people around him already think that the patient is very serious. However, with the continuous progress of the disease, people will find that patients who do not receive systematic treatment will become more and more serious, and their thinking and behavior will become less and less dominated by themselves, but by hallucinations and delusions, and they will often have behaviors that they cannot understand and control.

For example, one of my schizophrenics has been ill for many years but has never received systematic treatment, and the symptoms of auditory hallucinations are getting more and more serious. Later, when he was alone at home, he was dominated by imperative auditory hallucinations and cut off his genitals with scissors. As a man in his thirties, this kind of pain is unbearable for anyone, but the patient has made this incomprehensible behavior under the control of auditory hallucinations.

Of course, schizophrenia is a serious mental disorder with high recurrence rate and high disability rate. Even after systematic treatment, some patients can't get effective relief. It is generally believed that this kind of schizophrenia is refractory schizophrenia. And the condition of such patients may progress faster and more seriously. Therefore, compared with other patients with schizophrenia in remission, these patients will become more and more serious with the naked eye, and some patients will even have obvious symptoms of decline in a few years or longer. For schizophrenics, the decline of social function is often irreversible. On the other hand, because of mental illness, you have been abandoned by life.

Therefore, if schizophrenia is diagnosed, you must actively go to a mental hospital for treatment. There are a lot of unreliable false information in today's society, but public mental hospitals can't be false, and they are nationally recognized specialized hospitals for the treatment of schizophrenia. There are many patients with schizophrenia in our hospital, and the effect of the first treatment may affect the whole course of the patient to some extent. Trust the doctor and go to a regular mental hospital to treat mental illness. Schizophrenia can also have a tomorrow and return to its original life.

In fact, any disease is found early and treated early, and the curative effect will be exact. If schizophrenia is not treated, studies have shown that in the first five years, the brain volume will decrease by 2% every year. Cognitive function and social function will decline a lot.

First of all, it should be emphasized that the first onset of schizophrenia is the key to treatment, because antipsychotic drugs have the best therapeutic effect at this time, and the required dose is also small. If effective treatment can be obtained, patients have the greatest chance of recovery and the best long-term prognosis. If the treatment is not standardized, the disease will develop and recur, and it will be more difficult to treat again, and it will be more difficult if the patient does not cooperate with the treatment. If conditions permit, it is best to strive for hospitalization, so that you can choose drugs and have more effective treatment, so the treatment of first-time patients needs to attract the attention of family members.

Secondly, the treatment of schizophrenia should emphasize the early use of antipsychotics to achieve full treatment. In fact, many psychiatrists can't insist on the treatment of mental illness. In fact, this is the characteristic of mental illness treatment. Treatment is easy to take effect, but it is difficult to prevent recurrence. The reason is very simple, that is, neither doctors nor patients can insist on long-term adequate drug treatment. Only long-term and sufficient drug treatment can other methods make sense.

The treatment of most mental diseases is often effective, but there are often residual symptoms. So many doctors and patients are only satisfied with such a general improvement. Don't try to make a full recovery. Even before the end of the consolidation period, the dosage of the medicine was hastily reduced. Or the family members of patients are worried about the side effects of drugs, and will privately reduce or even stop taking drugs after the condition improves, but they don't know that the recurrence of mental illness is more harmful to patients. Therefore, mental illness is a chronic disease. Why is it always incomplete? It requires not only the treatment plan of professional doctors, but also the cooperation of patients and their families and the perseverance to overcome the disease. The treatment of mental illness should first eliminate symptoms, followed by long-term maintenance treatment, which may take medicine for several years and must not recur. In other words, patients need to take medicine for a long time in a completely normal state.

Therefore, the treatment of schizophrenia is very complicated and long, and it is very undesirable not to treat it. Early treatment after diagnosis is expected to restore health.

If schizophrenia is not treated, there are three results. First of all, the positive symptom is that the patient will commit suicide or attack and kill because of the illusion of being killed, and then kill because of the illusion.

The second is cognition, which will lead to the decline of cognitive ability, lack of information processing and analysis ability, or lack of expression ability.

The third is negative symptoms, such as not washing your hair or taking a bath, smelling all over, laughing at yourself and losing the ability to take care of yourself.

Schizophrenia has a serious and lasting impact on patients, which is more serious than many other diseases. Because patients do not have a correct understanding of their own state, and show obvious abnormal behavior, which is often very impulsive, there may be a series of situations such as hurting others' personal safety and destroying things, which will have a far-reaching impact on others and society. For the patients themselves, a series of behaviors, such as self-mutilation and suicide, may also occur under the control of hallucinations and delusions, which also have a great impact on the patients' families. Because the disease mostly occurs in young adults, many people in this age group are the economic pillars of their families or the pillars of the future. Once sick, the whole family life may be disrupted or even broken.

The vast majority of patients with schizophrenia lack a correct understanding of their own condition, so few patients take the initiative to seek medical treatment in clinic, and most of them are brought by their families, which means that patients with schizophrenia will not ask for treatment themselves. Whether it is first-episode schizophrenia or recurrent schizophrenia, we should seek the help of professionals and cooperate with the treatment.

Schizophrenia will continue to worsen if it is not treated. Some patients may have personality changes after repeated attacks, and their social functions are obviously damaged, showing different degrees of disability. Patients with mild disabilities often have certain social adaptability.

However, severe disability often develops gradually, or every attack will cause certain damage to patients, further decline or collapse. Therefore, the patient's condition is getting worse and worse, which eventually leads to repeated attacks for a long time, social and professional functions basically fade, and the ability of self-care is also obviously affected. Therefore, it is extremely harmful for schizophrenia patients not to be treated, and systematic and standardized treatment should be carried out.

The treatment of schizophrenia is a very rigorous and serious process. Once the patient is found to have schizophrenia, he should be accompanied by his relatives to the psychiatric department for treatment by a professional doctor in accordance with relevant government procedures. In the process of diagnosis and treatment, medical history is collected through various examination methods and communicated with patients, and then a targeted, scientific and rigorous treatment plan is formulated. Mild schizophrenia is found early, young and resistant, and the treatment effect should be good. Some patients can return to normal life and work. However, the improvement of the situation and the control of the disease still cannot relax our vigilance. We should manage and observe for a long time to prevent the recurrence of the disease.

During the maintenance period of patients, psychological and social rehabilitation measures should be taken, such as participating in organized recreational activities and work activities, to improve patients' daily life ability and social skills, so as to better return to society and prevent mental decline. Psychotherapy mainly includes behavioral therapy, which will promote the recovery of patients' social function and the improvement of life skills. In addition, we should encourage and support patients more, give patients less scolding and discrimination, and give patients enough social support system. We must seek the help of professionals in time and cooperate with the treatment. We must never go to the drugstore to buy medicine without permission.
