What will happen to bipolar disorder in the end? Prevent suicidal behavior in time

Bipolar disorder is a particularly extreme mental illness. Patients are always extremely high, low, boastful, and irritable. These extreme mood changes are particularly terrifying. Some people may end up committing suicide. Patients need to be hospitalized in a timely manner and receive daily care.

1. How to prevent suicide behavior

1. 60-80% of suicidal patients have directly or indirectly mentioned wanting to die. Therefore, pay attention to the warning signs of suicide and do not assume that people who claim to commit suicide will never commit suicide.

2. Observe the patient's words and actions closely and accompany the patient at all times if any signs of suicide are detected.

3. Precursors of suicide include sudden changes in the patient's mood and behavior, such as a severely depressed patient becoming cheerful or active; or resentment and aggression turning into withdrawal or refusal to eat; or hints of wanting to die in words.

4. When signs of suicide are discovered, full care and support should be given, and the patient should be encouraged to express the hatred, anger and sadness in his or her heart.

5. Arrange a safe and warm environment and remove dangerous items from the surrounding environment. Pay special attention to the early morning and late night.

6. Listen patiently to the patient’s painful voice and make him feel that someone cares about him, understands him, and is willing to help him.

7. Do not deny or ridicule what the patient says, and do not argue with him.

8. If you discover signs of suicide, it is best to assist and encourage the patient to seek medical treatment.

9. After the mood improves, there is still a possibility of suicide again within at least three months, so attention and prevention are still needed.
