How to manage mania?
In addition to being angry, swearing, and beating. There are also manic patients with hypersexuality, who often chase the opposite sex or go nude. Therefore, family members must take good care of patients. Patients with obvious sexual color should not go out, especially those who cannot go out alone. Here, I would like to remind everyone that the impulsiveness of the patient is a pathological behavior, so family members must not use scolding, corporal punishment or binding to restrain the patient, otherwise the patient's condition cannot be effectively controlled, and the patient's condition may be aggravated. Mania, hostility, etc.
- Assist patients to participate in some constructive activities: often assist patients to participate in physical exercise to vent excess energy in the body. Manic patients are energetic, anxious, weak in self-control, easily irritable, and often do some destructive behaviors to vent their physical and psychological irritability. Therefore, nurses must guide patients to participate in some activities that do not require concentration, and achieve disease control through work and recreational activities, such as running, playing ball or cleaning the floor, etc., and give patients affirmation and encouragement. If the patient is too excited, it is not necessary to completely restrict their activities. Let the patient tidy up the house, clean the house, grow flowers and vegetables, etc. at home. , It can also vent the patient's energy and physical strength, give the patient a treatment with drugs, and ensure that the patient has enough sleep.
- Do a good job in daily life care: manic patients should do a good job in daily nutrition supply, ensure adequate sleep, and do a good job in personal hygiene. Some patients, because of work, may disdain to do things that they think are meaningless. Therefore, nursing staff must take the initiative to supplement nutrition for patients, eat less and eat more meals, and ensure the supply of nutrition. Reasonable arrangements for diet, sleep and rest, many times manic patients will suffer from insomnia, mainly manifested as difficulty in falling asleep, always worried and anxious before going to bed. At this time, family members should accompany the patient, carefully comfort and persuade the patient, increase the patient's sense of security, relieve their anxiety, and help them sleep. Guide more patients to pay attention to their own hygiene and wear appropriate clothes on appropriate occasions.
Improve the personal cultivation of patients: when mania attacks, patients are in an uncontrollable state. But if the patient pays attention to improving personal cultivation in daily life, learns to do things calmly, and keeps a copy. Peace of mind can also effectively regulate manic episodes and alleviate the condition.
Psychological care: Manic patients are often narrow-minded, and everything is accumulated psychologically. On the surface, they don't care about anything and don't fight for it, but when something happens, they will lose their temper and get angry. Therefore, when encountering anything in life, the patient should be advised to relax and not to change the topic.
