psychiatrist or also known as Soul Medicine Specialists in Indonesia is still synonymous with curing serious mental illness. But the truth in everyday life people do not realize have experienced mental conditions that interfere with daily activities. So when people need to come to a psychiatrist?
Often people ask me via email or directly when they need a psychiatrist. Answering questions like this I usually little to explain matters relating to the practice of psychiatry and what are the capabilities of a psychiatrist. After that I gave the answer to that question.
1. Private Function Disruptive
Mental condition is a collection of symptoms and signs experienced by patients who are fit with a diagnosis of mental disorders in accordance with the guidelines for the diagnosis of mental disorder according to WHO (ICD 10 or Indonesian edition PPDGJ III and DSM IV-TR).
Called a mental disorder is when a malfunction has occurred (hendaya / impairment) personality. For example due to fault conditions so difficult patient soul of everyday activity, can not work or attend school well and have a private function disturbances associated with disorders such soul becomes difficult to sleep, hard to keep emotions and difficult to cope with its present environmental conditions.
2. Disruptive Social Function
Mental condition is usually not only personal but also disrupt the function of social functioning. Patients are usually too difficult to interact with others and are often difficult to participate actively in meaningful social conditions.
For example a person suffering from panic disorder became difficult to travel alone for fear of panic attacks emerging again as himself, he also became lazy meet other people (eg clients or business associates) because they feel uncomfortable if the talk is too long and difficult concentration. If the patient is depressed there are usually reluctant and lazy for social activities.
3. Takes place in a meaningful
Any mental disorder that lasted briefly as acute stress, grief reactions, or adjustment disorder due to illness suffered medical. But there are also long lasting.
A new diagnosis of depressive disorders can we set the diagnosis after symptoms fit the diagnosis lasted more than two weeks. Symptoms of depression may last longer if without proper treatment. The average patient who comes to my place there's even an experienced symptoms of the disorder of his soul since a few months ago, even up to an annual especially patients with psychosomatic disorders.
When Hospitalization Need?
Then when patients require hospitalization for the disorder. Some of the things below may become standards.
a. Endanger yourself
Patients who had compromised themselves should be hospitalized. Examples are schizophrenia patients because the symptoms of hallucinations and wahamnya hurt themselves. Depressed patients who desire suicide is very strong.
Patients with schizophrenia who do not want to eat drugs and unable to fend for himself, including eating and taking care of themselves. These are some things that need hospitalization.
b. Endanger others
Patients who are due to the disruption of his soul is objectively seen to have the potential to injure other people also need to be treated. This of course requires a serious handling and the presence of good information on the family in order to avoid mist comunication.
