Question
My child is in the third year of junior high school. Twenty days ago, they experienced hallucinations again. After a week of medication, they started having headaches and nervous weakness, and the symptoms have not improved at all. What should the parents do?
Answer
The care for schizophrenia patients primarily involves creating a comfortable environment to prevent them from being attacked. Family members should supervise the patient, take medication as prescribed by the doctor, and in a timely and quantitative manner. If severe signs of illness are detected, medical treatment should be sought immediately. In addition, a harmonious, warm, and relaxed home environment should be created to make the patient feel at ease. Avoid arguments with the patient and try to spend more time with them, respecting and identifying with their feelings.
