Is mania easy to treat?

Uncle Zuo, the psychology teacher, is happy to answer your questions.

I am a psychological counselor who has been engaged in psychological counseling for teenagers, college students and the elderly for many years. I have been exposed to mania in the clinical work of psychological counseling. Is it easy to treat mania? According to my work experience, I will answer from the following aspects.

First of all, mania is an emotional disorder, that is, manic episode or mania in bipolar disorder. The most typical clinical manifestations of manic patients are high emotions, accelerated thinking and association, and increased activities, and patients sometimes can't control their behavior; Emotions change quickly, and sometimes they are happy and sad, and they are often in a state of psychomotor excitement; Energetic and tireless, constantly changing their plans and activities; Self-evaluation is too high or exaggerated, it is difficult to concentrate, and it is easy to be angered; Some patients are accompanied by self-incrimination and self-degradation.

Secondly, is mania easy to treat? The question you ask falls into two situations. First, if it is the first onset or acute onset of adolescence, as long as the doctor sees the doctor in time, the doctor gives the right medicine, the patient takes the medicine for treating mania on time and in quantity according to the doctor's advice, the family cares about the patient, and avoids the stimulation of the environment after discharge, the patient can be cured and return to normal life; Secondly, if mania develops into protracted, it will be more troublesome to treat, especially if the patient is an adult. After the first onset, patients do not pay attention, treatment is not timely, medication is not standardized, and family members do not provide psychological support, which will develop into protracted, sometimes good and sometimes bad; Third, from the etiology of mania, if it is caused by psychological and social factors, as long as it is treated in time and in a standardized way, it can restore normal social functions and return to social life; If it is caused by genetic factors (the patient has a family history), it will be more troublesome and the treatment effect will be good and bad.

Thirdly, whether mania is treated well depends on whether it is treated according to the scheme of mental illness. The first is medication. At present, there are many drugs to treat mania. Doctors should choose what drugs to use according to the patient's physical and mental condition. At the same time, it is necessary to standardize drug use, that is, take drugs on time and in quantity; Follow the doctor's advice and go to the hospital for regular reexamination. The second is electroshock therapy, which has a certain effect on severe mania, but it should be used according to the patient's situation. The third is psychotherapy, which suggests that patients receive psychological counseling while receiving drugs and biological (electroconvulsive) treatment. Psychological counseling can relieve patients' symptoms, stabilize patients' emotions, and play an auxiliary role in restoring patients' social functions and preventing seizures.

The above answers are for your reference only. I hope my answer can help you.

Thank you again for your invitation!

The treatment of mania pays attention to the whole course of disease in clinic, and the treatment is divided into three stages: one is acute treatment. Within 6-8 weeks after starting drug treatment, the goal of treatment should be to ensure the safety of patients and eliminate various mental symptoms. Especially within 0-2 weeks after the start of treatment, adjust the therapeutic drugs to the effective therapeutic dose that patients can tolerate; The second is to consolidate the treatment period. Within 3 months after reaching the goal of acute treatment period, the purpose of treatment is to prevent the recurrence of various symptoms that have subsided. Therefore, drug treatment should be maintained to the dose of acute drug treatment and systematic and standardized treatment should be carried out; The third is maintenance period treatment, and the stable transition consolidation period treatment can be regarded as the end of a disease process. The treatment entered the maintenance treatment period, mainly to prevent the recurrence of the disease. The focus of drug therapy should be on the monitoring and treatment of long-term adverse drug reactions. The types of drugs can be reduced appropriately, but the dosage of the main drugs is still at the level of maintenance treatment, which can be gradually reduced until the treatment is ready to stop.

Generally speaking, if you are already manic, you need to pay attention to yourself. Generally speaking, mania can be cured. After treatment and rehabilitation, patients can recover and stop taking drugs. However, in the process of treatment, you need the cooperation of family members, patients and medical staff. If not treated in time, it is easy to cause recurrent attacks and become more serious. Manic patients are receiving clinical treatment. If there is a recurrence, the main reason is that patients' own treatment compliance is poor, and they often stop taking medicine after the disease improves. Therefore, the disease has not achieved complete clinical recovery, and the disease recurs after stopping the drug on its own, which will make the treatment of the disease more difficult. In this case of recurrent attacks, patients may form refractory mania, so it is very important to actively cooperate with patients and their families during treatment, and it is necessary to treat patients in the whole process according to the process to lay the foundation for future rehabilitation.

I'm glad to answer your question. Then I will answer this question from the perspective of health preservation. Why do people get mania is because of setbacks in life, family reasons, betrayal of relatives and so on. , leading to distrust of people. Once he likes to betray, he will be irritable, likely to kill, and suspicious. According to the doctor's treatment, at the same time, you should go to bed at one o'clock or nine o'clock, get up at five o'clock, and walk around for an hour to an hour and a half at six o'clock in the morning. This is eight hours of golden sleep. Let the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys get a full rest. Going out to exercise early in the morning can increase your ability to broaden your mind. A cheerful mood has a decompression effect on his symptoms. His illness also belongs to mental depression. Listen to more songs or cross talk. Let him yearn for life, and enlightenment is the main thing. Eat more coarse grains in your diet. This is good for his spirit. Because dietotherapy is the best medicine, you should be a healthy foodie. Treat and recover in enjoyment. People should live in harmony with nature. Don't violate the laws of nature. If it can be done, I believe it will be adjusted soon. Let him know more about China culture. China's traditional health culture has taught him more. This is helpful to everyone. The above is just my personal opinion. I hope netizens will comment. Thank you all

It depends on who you see for treatment. If you seek western medicine treatment, you can only take medicine for life and eventually die of liver and kidney failure. Looking for modern Chinese medicine is nothing more than a bunch of drugs for clearing blood, cooling blood, nourishing yin and invigorating qi. Eating well depends on luck. If you meet a doctor who can only prescribe drugs, you have a 60% chance of being cured. If you meet a classic prescription master, a few doses of medicine can cure it. There is another way to teach Treatise on Febrile Diseases by yourself.

Mania is an emotional disorder, which is characterized by emotional instability, high mood, many interests, disorder after stimulation, and often destructive behavior, which may be caused by psychological and social factors. Now it's mainly medication. Long-term medication and standardized treatment can reduce the recurrence rate. After the symptoms are stable, we must insist on treatment. Short-term control may take half a year, and some will take longer.

Easy to cure. Treat things calmly, give yourself some time to adjust bad mood, ask for help from family and friends, and cultivate more hobbies that need patience, such as reading, gardening, fishing, sports ..... Go into nature and go for an outdoor outing. You can also accept the guidance of a professional psychologist.

The best way is to read more and listen to some light music or Buddhist music. Or you can travel to more open places.

It's hard to find me in the temple for a month.

It's not too difficult. Mainly management psychology, go outdoors more.
