What is the best way to treat schizophrenia?

When it comes to treatment, patients with schizophrenia should use medication rationally under the guidance of their doctors. At the same time, their families should also create a good environment for the patients, give them more companionship and understanding, and help them arrange some beneficial social activities.

1. Correct use of medication:

Patients generally have trouble concentrating and do not remember to take their medications on time. Family members should urge patients to take medication in a timely and quantitative manner and complete daily treatment under the guidance of a doctor. If any signs of serious illness are found, the patient should be sent to a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

2. Create an environment:

The family should have a harmonious and warm environment with a relaxed atmosphere. Do not let the patient feel nervous and anxious. Also, do not argue with the patient over trivial matters. Try to accompany them as much as possible, talk to them, respect and understand the patients, encourage them to handle things within their ability, and build confidence in recovery.

3. Take care of daily life :

The care of patients naturally requires careful care of their lives, mainly in terms of diet and daily life, cleanliness and hygiene, helping them prepare daily food, and urging patients to do reasonable and appropriate exercise, and arrange more social activities to facilitate recovery.

Schizophrenia patients should control their high-calorie diet. Schizophrenia patients are accustomed to high-calorie diets. Studies have shown that arbitrary calorie intake increases oxidative damage to brain cells and impairs learning and memory compared to restricted calorie intake. In addition, schizophrenia patients tend not to exercise, so they are susceptible to obesity, hypertension and diabetes, even if they do not take antipsychotic drugs. Therefore, schizophrenia patients should control their high calorie intake.
