What are the characteristics of mental patients?

? What symptoms can we use to judge whether a person has mental illness? Experts from Shijiazhuang Changjiang Psychiatric Hospital said that mental patients can generally show five abnormalities. When someone often appears or appears the following situations, he should be suspected of mental illness. The following is a detailed introduction. 1, illusion: the so-called illusion refers to an illusory perception that does not exist but seems real. Hallucination is one of the most common symptoms of mental patients. Once hallucination occurs, it should be systematically analyzed and reasoned according to its source, nature, content, duration, whether there is unconscious disorder when hallucination occurs, and the influence of hallucination on patients' mental activity and behavior. Hallucinations can occur in many mental diseases, but if hallucinations occur more frequently when the consciousness is clear, they are more common in mental patients. However, hallucinations under the condition of disturbance of consciousness are more common in organic mental diseases. Auditory hallucination and hallucination are the two most common forms of hallucination. Typical auditory hallucination, especially critical auditory hallucination, is an important sign to diagnose mental illness when consciousness is clear. Generally speaking, auditory hallucinations, which last for a long time, are typical and numerous, are very common in mental illness. Some physical diseases, such as uremia, diabetes, alcoholism, etc., can also have long-lasting auditory hallucinations, but these diseases are generally abnormal in physical examination or laboratory examination. Mental patients will also have other hallucinations, such as phantom touch, phantom smell and so on. 2. Thinking disorder: Relaxed or rambling thinking, broken thinking, interrupted thinking and logical thinking disorder, such as pathological symbolic thinking, new words and phrases, forced thinking, controlled thinking, taken away, broadcast, etc., are important signs of mental illness. Thinking escape and association acceleration are common in manic episodes, and thinking escape, high mood and enhanced will activity constitute the "three highs" symptoms of manic episodes. Mental retardation is common in patients with depression. Poor thinking is often accompanied by apathy and lack of will, which constitutes the three basic symptoms of negative symptom psychosis. Poor thinking can also be seen in dementia. Primary, bizarre in content, absurd in logic, and sudden delusions that occur under the condition of clear consciousness are often more characteristic symptoms of mental illness; The delusions with strict logic, strong systematicness and a certain realistic foundation are the characteristics of paranoid psychosis. Paranoia attacks are characterized by one or more delusions with short duration, sudden occurrence and sudden disappearance, and the interval is normal. The content of delusion is fragmented and changeable, and the inconsistency of retelling before and after is mostly the delusion feature of organic psychosis. 3. Emotional disorder: Emotional activities have some characteristic changes in different mental diseases. High mood is the main symptom of manic episode, which can also be seen after taking some psychoactive substances. Emotional euphoria, pathological passion and compulsive crying and laughing are often more typical symptoms of organic psychosis. Emotional depression is a typical manifestation of depression. Emotional apathy or dullness, emotional disharmony (the disharmony between emotional experience and external environment, inner activities and facial expressions), emotional experience that cannot be understood by outsiders, emotional communication with others, self-mockery for no reason, and emotional inversion are all unique symptoms of mental illness. Emotional apathy can also be seen in the early stage of frontal lobe tumors. Anxiety symptoms can be seen in many mental diseases. It is a low-level symptom group in the symptom ladder and has no specificity. However, if the patient has prominent anxiety symptoms without other physical abnormalities and psychotic symptoms, the diagnosis of anxiety neurosis should be considered first. 4. Will-behavior disorder: There are many will-behavior disorders in severe mental illness. Some bizarre, pretentious, naive, stupid and unreasonable behaviors, sudden and aimless attacks, intentional inversion or intentional contradiction under the condition of clear consciousness mostly point to the diagnosis of mental illness, but it is also common in the separation disorder of hysteria. Being in a daze is a common symptom in mental illness, which can be seen in psychosis, depression, reactive psychosis, hysteria and organic psychosis. If the patient has waxy wrinkles, air pillow and expressionless face, it is mostly neuropsychiatric. Patients with depressive stupor are characterized by depressed facial expressions and eyes, responding to emotional stimuli, clear consciousness, and obvious emotional depression before entering stupor. Psychogenic stupor often occurs after intense mental stimulation, with short course and quick recovery. Organic coma often occurs on the basis of unconsciousness, which is consistent with the development of physical diseases. Nervous system examination, laboratory examination and other auxiliary examinations often find abnormalities. 5. Mental retardation: Dementia is a comprehensive mental disorder, which can be seen in brain organic psychosis, reactive psychosis and hysteria. There are two kinds of dementia. One is true dementia, which is a characteristic symptom of chronic brain organic psychosis. It can be caused by many reasons, such as brain degeneration, metabolic endocrine disorder, intracranial infection, tumor, trauma, poisoning, normal pressure hydrocephalus and so on. Amnesia syndrome and personality change often occur at the same time, and there are many unconscious obstacles. The other is pseudodementia, which is more common in hysteria. This kind of patients often have obvious psychological reasons before the onset, and they are anxious and naive. They give some almost absurd answers to the doctor's questions, which is obviously inconsistent with the actual situation. Careful analysis, identification is not difficult. True dementia also needs to be differentiated from false dementia of depression. Depression, especially senile depression, is easily misdiagnosed as dementia because of its slow thinking and slow behavioral response and its inability to complete tasks that require brain power. However, the onset of depression pseudodementia is generally more urgent, and the experience of depression is more profound. ?
