Causes

There are many factors that cause the disease: congenital heredity, personality traits, physical factors, organic factors, social environment factors, etc. Many mental patients have delusions, hallucinations, illusions, emotional disorders, lack self-awareness, and do not actively seek help from doctors. Common mental illnesses include: schizophrenia, manic-depressive psychosis, menopausal psychosis, paranoid psychosis, and mental illnesses associated with various organic diseases. Patients and their families should cooperate with psychiatrists in treatment.

There are also many people who like to equate neurosis with psychological illness, especially mental illness, and always say in a mocking tone: You have a neurosis. In fact, neuropathy refers to organic lesions of the central nervous system and peripheral nerves, and the location of the lesions can be found through medical instruments. Common neurological diseases include: encephalitis, meningitis, cerebral cysticercosis, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, epilepsy, brain tumors, myasthenia gravis, etc. Patients should seek medical attention from a neurologist.
