Question
How to Prevent Hepatolenticular Degeneration?
Answer
Studies show that about 30-60% of patients with hepatolenticular degeneration experience depression symptoms. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen mental support for patients. Here are the prevention strategies: ① Increase public publicity and education to reduce discrimination against patients. ② Enhance the professional quality of healthcare providers by learning psychology and communication skills, and build a good relationship with patients. ③ Strengthen daily care. Through recreational therapy and various skill training, improve patients’ sleep, appetite, exercise, and sensory function, and provide a relaxing hospital environment and rich training activities to alleviate mental stress, reduce anxiety, and depression. ④ Provide psychological counseling and intervention. Mental health is closely related to the quality of life, and psychological intervention can help improve the quality of life for patients. ⑤ The recovery of patients is closely related to family support. As the main support system for patients, the family is crucial for the psychological and physical recovery of patients.
