It is not uncommon for heart disease to recur. In general, it is important not to miss the sign of a relapse in mental illness. This time, I will explain in detail the points for noticing the signs of recurrence in schizophrenia and the importance of realizing it.
There is a risk of recurrence in schizophrenia… and it is repeated several times.
It can also be difficult to sleep as usual to foresee a recurrence of schizophrenia.
There are quite a few relapses in mental illness. Even with schizophrenia, one of the most common mental diseases, it is quite common to recur once or twice, although it is not always the case after the initial onset of a person in their 30s.
This time, I will explain in detail how not to miss the beginning of this schizophrenia in preparation for a recurrence. Not only the person in charge of this disease, but also the family and other people around me want to organize it well somewhere in my head.
Recurrent factor of schizophrenia… Schizophrenia is prone to so-called “positive symptoms”
such as delusions and hallucinations during its acute phase, that is, when the disease is in full swing. Sometimes it can be quite serious, and in that case it is usually hospital treatment. But usually if you treat it intensively for a few months, those problematic symptoms should at least calm down quite a bit.
So if the patient’s symptoms calm down through the treatment so far, he or she is in the medical term of remission. The side of the treatment wants to maintain this remission for a lifetime as long as possible, but in fact, at some point in the process, the symptoms return temporarily or appear as if it is just before the previous hospitalization.
There are multiple relapse factors for schizophrenia. For example, forgetting to take medicine is one of the common factors. At the same time, it’s one of the recurrent factors that patients want to manage with their own strength. In this case, I would like to take measures such as putting out a medicine bag in a place that is easy to see in advance to prevent forgetting to drink, and taking out a Limaid if the person forgot to drink. And dealing with these recurrent factors significantly reduces the risk of recurrence. At the moment, I am afraid that the risk of a recurrence cannot be zero, but I would like to remember it as an important point related to a recurrence.
So if the relapse begins, it would be ideal if you could start a psychiatric response or treatment before it occurs. That could significantly shorten the period, even if hospitalization is subsequently required. Or maybe we can avoid the need for hospitalization itself in the first place. To do so, it is important not to miss the beginning of a recurrence. In order to do so, not only the patient but also the family members should remember the signs of recurrence.
