What is the most serious mental illness?

Mental illness can be said to be a relatively scary disease. In real life, people suffering from mental illness are not uncommon. Families that are broken up because one of the family members suffers from mental illness are also sad and scary. What is the most serious mental illness? There are many types of mental illness. For example, the most common one in our lives is schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is the most serious mental illness. People with this kind of disease generally have different thoughts and behaviors from ordinary people. What are the harms? Let's take a look at it together:

Harm 1: Destroying family harmony

When schizophrenic patients are thinking about a problem, they do not have a clear idea. The meanings they express always lack connection, making it difficult to understand. Their speech is disorganized and tends to be intermittent. Some patients may talk to themselves, become emotionally unstable, and cry loudly. During the onset of schizophrenia, patients become extremely manic and will yell at their loved ones, whether they are the elderly or children. A warm family may be broken up because of the patient.

Hazard 2: Emotional disorders

Schizophrenia patients are emotionally cold, careless and indifferent to everything, have confused minds and wild imaginations. The concern of relatives makes the patient feel that their concern is dangerous to him. Schizophrenia patients have a bad temper, often get angry over trivial matters, and are very emotionally unstable.

Hazard 3: Suicide, self-harm, and harm to family members

Schizophrenia patients often experience hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, and delusions. Some patients may have thoughts of suicide, self-mutilation, and harming others due to hallucinations and delusions. These auditory and visual hallucinations will affect their behavior and activities, and may even lead to dangerous behaviors, and in severe cases, suicide.

The treatment of mental illness mainly adopts drug therapy, behavioral therapy, occupational therapy, recreational therapy, psychotherapy and various counseling to eliminate or alleviate the various obstacles of the patient. In addition, diet therapy is also a very good option. According to statistics from the Psychiatric Diagnosis and Treatment Center of Guangdong Min'an Hospital, the cure rate of schizophrenia when it is discovered and treated early is several times higher than the average cure rate. Therefore, treatment measures should be taken for schizophrenia as early as possible to prevent the condition from worsening.
