MENTAL HEALTH

MENTAL HEALTH

  • PSYCHOSIS

    The word psychosis is used to describe a state of mind in which contact with reality is lost, altering the way a person relates to the world.

  • SCHIZOPHRENIA

    We talk about schizophrenia when psychotic experiences persist over time and require a recovery process and specialized treatment.

  • SELF-CARE

    Self-care is not only NOT selfish, but it's necessary. Some examples:

  • MENTAL HEALTH

    For the WHO, "health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."

TREATMENT

  • Occupation, work and employment

    People who are underemployed are much more likely than others to experience recurring mental health issues. Furthermore, our sense of identity largely emerges in relation to the work we do, whether voluntary or paid.

  • Psychological support

    It's essential that people can talk and reflect about their experiences in a calm, supportive, and judgment-free environment. This is the foundation of any form of help and should be the first thing any professional or service offers.

  • How medication can help you

    Muchas personas encuentran que la medicación es útil, particularmente en las crisis agudas cuando las experiencias se pueden sentir como abrumadoras. Ésta puede reducir la intensidad de las experiencias y ayuda al hacerlas menos perturbadoras.

  • The role of family and friends

    Community is the most important source of support for many people. Whatever the nature of the difficulties, the most important things are those we all need: supportive relationships, adequate housing, freedom from financial dependence and other worries, having meaningful and meaningful occupations, or playing a valuable role within our community.

  • Relationship and collaboration with professionals

    A good relationship with professionals is essential to the recovery process. This means sharing a framework based on respect, where different difficulties can be shared without fear of judgment.

  • Centrarse en los propios intereses y objetivos de la persona puede resultar muy útil. Aunque para ello no siempre sea necesaria ayuda externa, los profesionales pueden ayudar a identificarlos, planear cómo conseguirlos y cómo lidiar con las dificultades en el camino. 

  • Early attention

    The most sensitive period for the onset of the first psychotic experiences is between the ages of 16 and 23, when fundamental social and identity aspects of the person develop.
