Basic overview of functional psychosis

Functional psychosis is relative to organic psychosis. In 1977, the World Health Research Results Organization
The ninth edition of the International Diseases (WHO) definition of mental illness is: "The degree of impaired mental function has reached what is known as a severe loss, and cannot meet the requirements of daily life or maintain appropriate contact with reality." Among them, the largest proportion of mental illness One type is called "functional psychosis." Organic psychiatric disorders are caused by definite pathological changes in the brain, such as epilepsy psychiatric disorders, traumatic psychiatric disorders, and cerebral arteriosclerotic psychiatric disorders, and functional psychiatric disorders correspond to them.

Functional psychiatric causes are different:

It is generally believed that psychiatric diseases are obtained after being "stimulated." In fact, to this day, psychiatric research still believes that most psychiatric diseases are diseases of unknown etiology. Of course, some mental patients encountered unpleasant things before they became ill, but more closely related to the patient's internal cause. All kinds of frustrations and difficulties may be encountered in life, but the number of people with mental illness is a minority, and some patients do not have any mental stimulation before the onset of illness. Therefore, mental stimulation is only the cause of the disease, not the cause. On the contrary, neurosis is usually caused by realistic or childhood traumatic psychological pathogenic factors.

Functional psychiatry is classified differently:

When it comes to mental illness, people always think that there are two types of civil and military. In fact, otherwise, the largest number of mental illnesses are schizophrenia and emotional mental disorders. When it comes to neurosis, people equate it with neurasthenia. In fact, neurosis is not a unit of disease but a group of mental disorders. It includes phobia, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depressive neurosis, snoring, suspected disorders, neurasthenia and depersonalizing neurosis, somatization disorder, occupation. Sexual neurosis (the occupational disease of intellectuals-writing spasm syndrome. Its characteristics are: finger dysfunction occurs when engaged in writing, and is completely normal when doing other work. This disease occurs in writers, painters, teachers, editors , Draftsman, secretary, etc. who have been doing fine movements with their hands for a long time).

Functional clinical manifestations are different:

Zhao Jun said that a mental patient does not recognize his abnormal mental state, so he does not admit that he is mentally ill, does not take the initiative to seek medical treatment, or even refuses to see a doctor; while neurosis has no psychotic symptoms (illusions, delusions, etc.) on him except snoring. I am aware of the abnormal state, so I feel sick and take the initiative to seek medical treatment. The behavioral changes of mental illness sometimes exceed the socially acceptable limits, such as frowning, grimace, and eating inedible things: soap, sewage, etc. for no reason. The behavior is incomprehensible, and the purpose of the motivation is not known; the behavioral changes of neurosis usually remain within the acceptable limits of the society. For example, patients with phobias often take avoidance behaviors because they are afraid and fearful of certain objects or situations. Patients with insecurities feel insecure, so repeatedly check whether the doors and windows are closed, whether there is a thief hidden under the bed; Neurasthenia patients are prone to excitement, angry for trivial things and so on.

Functional psychiatric treatment is different:

Psychiatric diseases must adhere to psychotropic treatment, supplemented by psychological treatment. Drugs include: antipsychotics; antidepressants; antimanic drugs; anxiolytics. The treatment of neurosis is mainly psychological treatment, supplemented by medication. Psychotherapy must be carried out by a professionally trained person, just as a layperson makes his own claims to give relatives or friends or take his own medicine. Praying to worship the Buddha may also have a good psychological effect on the patient, but it cannot be said that this is a kind of psychological treatment.
