Top 5 mistakes made by people with schizophrenia janitors


In recent years I have given many speeches and presentations to groups interested in mental; most of the talks have been caregivers, especially to parents of young adults with mental illness. Concluding my remarks and begin the session of questions and answers, almost always asking me what they can do carers for improved to help those with mental illness. From my experience of life with paranoid schizophrenia, as well as personal communication with many others with mental disease, I have compiled a list of common errors to avoid caregivers. Here are the top five:

Five mistakes to avoid

1: The approach of Tough Love

Support often is abused by those with alcohol and other drug addiction, and, therefore, caregivers tend to be wary of allowing that the person cared for;therefore often take a "tough love" approach to ensure that it will not add to the problem of addiction. This approach should not be taken with a person with esquizofrenia.Hay much disability caused by negative symptoms (severe apathy, a loss of motivation, a lack of joy, reduced desire to socialize, flat emotions, etc.) disease and tough love approach in terms of support to the person with schizophrenia has risks, including homelessness. While a kick in the rear can be needing a junkie for straight life, is a constant support and drugs a person with schizophrenia need simply to cope with the disease.

2: Too Much emotional support

Support is needed for the person with schizophrenia to treat their illness, but caregivers tend to err on the side of getting too close emotionally. Regardless of what the individual was as before developing the disease, almost all people with schizophrenia who need to keep people at an emotional distance.Carers must respect this limit and not to be offended that is likely to be required to maintain health.

3: Rise of the bar of expectations

As the person with schizophrenia is retrieved from the latest episode of psychosis, there is the option of a natural increase of expectations about what the individual can and should do.However, the bar is raised often too fast for the individual to maintain a day.This results in greater stress on the individual and the family members salud.Muchos setbacks have pointed out just as his sick relative is doing great, there was a step backwards and or recaída psychotic. no doubt these setbacks are partly due to the stress of rising expectations increase.

4: Being critical of individual or symptoms

It has been well established in psychiatric literature people with schizophrenia have an increased sensitivity to criticism.Caregivers with critical provisions must actively limit their critical to the health of the person under his cuidado.Además, many with schizophrenia have good control over their symptoms, by what carers not should blame them for having symptoms of the patients receiving cancer chemotherapy enfermedad.Cuidadores not to blame for cancer patients to have cancer or vomiting, and none of the two carers of people with schizophrenia should blame the individual being sick.

5: Prevention of smoking

United States in about 20% of the population; smoking rate among persons with schizophrenia, the rate is more than the 90%.Y, almost half of all cigarettes smoked in are United States smoked by someone with a disease mental.Se found anecdotally both scientifically, that aid smoking cigarettes with the symptoms of nicotine esquizofrenia.La helps reduce hallucinations and paranoia and improves memory and concentration. However, nicotine, changing the level of the blood of many antipsychotic medications, so should be careful when someone changes the amount that he or she smokes, including start smoking or stop smoking.
