What do you think about the co-existence of mental illness and diabetes?

When we look at hospitals nowadays, the buildings are becoming more and more grandiose, the internal equipment is becoming more and more advanced, and the qualifications of the medical staff are becoming more and more advanced. However, in terms of research and understanding of many diseases, they have not caught up with each other at the same time, and they even remain at the same level as they were many years ago, thus resulting in an unsatisfactory prognosis for the treatment of some diseases.

Diabetes is a metabolic disease, and living habits, eating habits, emotional regulation, environmental pollution and other factors related to the incidence of diabetes is very high, and presents a low age, and some children have poor self-control, can not control themselves, overeating, staying up all night barbecue and so on.

Psychosis is a severe mental illness, the surface sometimes hit people and smash things, but the essence of the fear, they hit people and smash things are presenting the characteristics of the conditioned reflex, that is, when the attack hit people and smash things, but basically hit their own loved ones, smashing their own things, they are clear that hitting outsiders is very troublesome.

Psychosis and diabetes can co-exist, psychosis is stimulation, diabetes is bad habits, both can be greatly affected by the mood, high anxiety, psychosis attacks, long time anxiety high, can make diabetes and worsen.

Diabetics currently in China's prevalence rate according to 2017 data for 9.7%, the number of 115 million, while the incidence of mental illness according to the Chinese CDC data show that in 2017 China's various types of mental patients numbered more than 100 million, it can be imagined that a large part of the population is likely to exist in mental illness and diabetes are present, a conservative estimate would also be in the tens of millions.

Diabetic patients may experience anxiety and depression due to the long-term disease state, especially when their blood sugar is poorly controlled for a long time or when they are in fear of complications and become stressed, they may experience a state of mental disorder.

A portion of psychiatric patients, who are on long-term antipsychotic medications, can develop obesity and abnormalities in glucose tolerance, as well as diabetes.

In these two cases, the mental illness is usually mild, and the treatment plan given by the doctor can be adhered to, and the improvement of the primary disease will also benefit the secondary mental abnormality and blood glucose condition. Therefore, diabetic friends with these two factors should actively communicate with diabetes specialists, choose the appropriate treatment plan, diet and exercise therapy, weight loss, and do a good job of psychological guidance, the use of appropriate psychotherapeutic drugs, the general condition will be well stabilized.

But there is also a segment of our population with schizophrenia, more than 6.4 million, and bipolar disorder, numbering 1.1 million, which accounts for more than 60 percent of our patients with severe mental illness. For this segment of the population, about 700,000 or so patients have diabetes. It's the blood sugar in this part of the population that is more difficult to control.

The part of the community that is dispersed with mental abnormalities may not be easy for family members to regulate their diet and medication due to communication barriers, and testing blood glucose and conducting regular medical check-ups can be very difficult. Testing blood glucose and conducting regular checkups are very difficult. Requests for basic control may require a great deal of effort on the part of the family. Moreover, this group of people may be emotionally unstable, and may be prone to injuries or self-injury, all of which may lead to extreme fluctuations in blood glucose and serious consequences such as diabetic ketoacidosis, hypoglycemia, or diabetic co-infections.

The part of patients hospitalized in mental health institutions, centralized meal distribution, constraints, systems, and regular supply of medication, this part of the patient may be able to maintain relatively good. However, because of severe psychiatric disorders, the glycemic control goals for this group of patients are loosely controlled, and they are very susceptible to a variety of chronic complications, cardiac and cerebral strokes, and a variety of pathologies of the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and so on.

Overall, the prognosis for patients with severe mental illness combined with diabetes is less favorable. Good control of blood glucose requires further glucose-lowering drug development for safe, effective, inexpensive, and convenient treatment. The use of medications such as insulin or insulinotropic agents should be reduced in this group of patients to prevent hypoglycemia or severe hypoglycemia.

Look at good mental illness before you look at diabetes.

Hi, happy to answer this question.

First of all, it is necessary to distinguish the relationship between mental illness and diabetes, which is before and which is after. Because there are mental disorders due to diabetes mellitus in the classification of mental illness, when diabetes mellitus develops to a certain degree, anxiety and depression are very common, especially when poor glycemic control, pathological emotions and affect the control of blood glucose, so that the symptoms are aggravated, and the emergence of diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperosmolar non-ketotic diabetic coma can be lethargy, disorientation, hallucinations, delirium and so on. If you exclude the mental disorder caused by diabetes, mental illness and diabetes coexistence is also there, on the one hand, with the improvement of people's material level, diabetes has become a more common type of disease, and secondly, due to the long-term use of antipsychotic drugs may lead to patients with obesity and other adverse reactions will also increase the chances of patients with mental illness combined with diabetes.

Whatever the disease, let it go! Accept the reality and let go of the obsession!

The Truth About Depression, Anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Mania, and Bi-Directional Affective Disorder and All Other So-Called Mental Illnesses

Psychological problems are a very serious social phenomenon nowadays, especially among children who are becoming more and more common, which is heartbreaking. It is terrible to see how many people are suffering to the point of despair and how many families are on the verge of collapse, while most people are still in the dark, not knowing the truth and the way out!

What I want to tell you is that all the so-called psychological problems, no matter what type they are, no matter how serious they are, no matter how complicated the symptoms are, actually do not exist at all. Why are these so-called mental illnesses so difficult to cure? It is because we have been solving a problem that does not exist in itself, and how can this be solved? This only results in more and more serious problems. The reasoning is understood once it is said that all negative emotions are supposed to be normal emotions that all people have, just like breathing. People can only solve their lives away if they have to, and this is why many people ultimately choose to go off the deep end. Normal people quickly let go of negative emotions when they encounter them, but we can't, we have to solve it, even if it's a fish out of water, and the result is getting worse and worse. Do not know, do not go to solve the problem, turn to let go of the problem does not need to be solved. No matter how hard it is in life, there is nothing that can't be let go. When you leave this world, there is nothing you can take with you.

Life is a play, why be so serious, why live with yourself.

In fact, the reality is that there are many people in a worse situation than you, the average person does not take it seriously and does not pick it up, we not only picked it up, but also do not want to put it down. As long as you put it down, there is no more pain. To say that can not let go, no one can do. But the pain has a way, the pain is enough to naturally put down, the words are not rough.

I want to tell you that choosing to end your life is an extremely wrong choice. Ending life is not the end of suffering, but rather the beginning of another endless suffering that has no end. Life never ends, and every life has a meaning.

Getting back to the point, what is the nature and truth of these so-called psychological problems? If and when we figure this out, all so-called psychological problems will be solved. For in reality it does not exist per se, and there is certainly nothing to solve.

Some people say, how can it not exist? The pain we suffer inside is real, the problems we face in reality are real, we just can't sleep, the symptoms and illnesses we have are real, I just can't see any hope in my life, and so on and so forth, and these pains are clearly there, aren't they? Isn't it self-deception to say that they don't exist?

Yes, everything is so real for you. What I am trying to say is that all of these so-called realities are just results, not causes, and they are just appearances, not essences. They are not set in stone. We have to get to the root of these so-called psychological problems in order to solve them. Everyone, whether through psychological counseling or medication, is solving phenomena with phenomena and solving problems with problems. Not only can they not solve the problems, but they will also keep aggravating them.

All psychological problems, no matter what kind of negative emotions, will be manifested as their inability to control their own minds thinking, thinking non-stop, can not eat, can not sleep, physically and mentally exhausted, would like to go to figure it out, the result is that the more you think more and more, a vicious cycle, can not control, until the collapse. This is because in this process our energy will gradually be depleted, it is more and more lost control of their own thinking, and finally even their own lives are intended to give up, that is a low energy state of fantasy. In that kind of energy state, it is a sesame seed that turns into a mountain and crushes you.

The only way to change this situation is to boost energy. This energy is not just eating and resting, but more importantly stopping the erosion of negative energy (negative thinking) and constantly boosting positive energy. It is the necessity to break the vicious circle, to stop thinking (you are never done thinking and never get results) and to turn to positive thinking to build up energy. With positive energy, you are in control of your thinking and everything in your life. With positive energy, the problems that used to bother you turn from watermelons to sesame seeds.

So how do you stop mind thinking? We just can't control the mind! In fact, can not control the mind is because the negative energy (manifested as all negative emotions) is too powerful, we are controlled by negative energy. As different people negative energy manifested by different negative emotions, physical symptoms are even more bizarre, there are a variety of so-called psychological problems of the disease name, in fact, the essence of the same.

Once the essence is grasped, all so-called psychological problems naturally cease to exist, and there is no need to solve them at all, because there is nothing to solve. No matter what your situation is, no matter how serious it is, no matter how real and difficult the real problem is to solve, no matter how serious it is physically, even if you have a terminal illness, there is only one root cause and only one solution. Once you find the root cause, all problems in life are soap bubbles.

What is the root cause? The root cause is the wrong three views and the pursuit of the wrong values. At present, it can be said that 99% of the people in the world are pursuing the wrong things. The pursuit of material things, all kinds of desires, pornography, unfiliality, not valuing life, only knowing how to take without realizing that the meaning of life is to give rather than to take, and high pressure (having to pursue a specific goal or requirement). As a result of these wrong three views, every thought, word and deed in our heart is directed towards desire and taking. Everyone must have a desire behind every negative emotion. There are also many parents who themselves still impose these wrong concepts on their children, and who blame God and their children for the harm they have done to them. All our desires and negative emotions are negative energy, are constantly entangled and amplified, and ultimately the positive energy is less and less, and even developed to the point that we are proud of negative energy and ashamed of positive energy. Isn't this a common phenomenon in society nowadays? Why do most people live a miserable life? This is the total root cause. Everyone behaves differently, some get sick physically, some get sick psychologically, some suffer from setbacks or disasters and so on.

When we have a so-called mental illness, we start to blame others, we think we are unlucky, we think God is unfair. In fact. God is the most fair. Each do wrong, have to bear their own. And everyone is choosing to avoid responsibility, but how can you escape it? Some people want to go to the counselor to confide in, in fact, confide in the release of negative energy, not only can not solve the problem, but also attract more negative energy. Some people hope to rely on drugs to solve the problem, obviously is the inner problem, how can drugs solve it? This is not absurd? There are also people who hope that someone else can give them a hand. How can others pull on your inner self? Those of you in the negative emotions of all sorts of wild fantasy how can others understand it?

You're living in a dream world. The only way to wake up is to wake up. Who can fix the dream world? Waking up is. What's there to fix?

To solve this problem, you must first understand where you went wrong, and realize that no one is punishing you, it's all your own fault. The universe is the fairest of them all, and if you can be happy when you are wrong, then there is really no justice. In fact, there is no one's fault out there, it's all your own fault, don't blame others, only reflect on yourself. What family of origin theory, there is no such thing, are harmful theories. Your own destiny is your own master, do not give yourself any reason or excuse. Don't think that it is the family environment, it is other people bully you you harm you, it is interpersonal tension, no money, stress, physical illness and so on all the real problems caused. Wrong, all of these problems are also phenomena, they are all the result of the wrong three views, they are all the result of the same root as your psychological problems, they are all appearances, they all have a common wrong root. Even if these problems are solved, your psychological problems are still there, and bigger problems will arise to remind you of them.

Every pain comes to remind you that you are wrong and to turn back quickly. Once you turn back, suffering loses its value of existence. The sea of suffering has no boundaries; turning back is the shore. As long as you don't turn back, suffering will follow you. Behind every suffering, there is an attachment, there is a desire. The only way is to let go of the attachment and let go of the desire. The past has passed, everything is to blame, no one has harmed you, and no one can harm you, openly accept what you are currently facing, this is the fruit of what you have done in the past, and can no longer be changed. What we can do now is to know the wrong and change the wrong, from the moment to maintain a positive mind, language, and behavior, no longer spread and release negative energy, including home and the Internet, from the side to do, from small things to do, from chores to do, help others, dedication to themselves, let go of selfishness, let go of desire, let go of materialistic attachment, filial piety and respect for parents, love and cherish all life, reverence for nature, these are originally the true meaning of life! These are the true meaning of life, return to human nature, these positive energy more and more, your future will naturally change, happiness and joy has been on the road. Where will there be any psychological problems? Where are there any life problems that need to be solved? Where is there still pain? Where is there still injustice?

Also, parents whose kids have problems, please leave your kids alone, put them down, don't control them too much, give them the right education on life values, give them back their freedom, and don't put too much pressure on them. Internet generation, less access to addictive stuff like video games and porn sites, and stop crippling your kids with drugs!!!!

Finally, I can tell you that I myself was once a sufferer of a so-called severe mental illness for more than twenty years, and have experienced despair and helplessness no matter how great. Now, I have been reborn. I hope to share the experience I have gained with my blood and tears, and I hope to help more people who are still trapped in the bottomless abyss of pain to come out. I hope to save more families and children who are on the verge of collapse.

Thinking that you have a so-called mental problem and trying to figure out how to fix it is the real cause and beginning of all suffering, which gets worse and worse as the process of fixing it goes on. This is the fundamental difference between normal people and people with so-called mental illness. The same is true of all real problems in life, where no solution is the best solution. Nothing is better than nothing. Most people live the opposite and therefore suffer.

Many people say that they can not let go, there is nothing that can not be let go, people die when all of the put down, no one can take it away. If you don't let go, you have to continue to carry it, continue to suffer, there is no choice, and no one can help you let go. The only way to let go is acceptance, acceptance of others and everything you have experienced, acceptance of everything that can happen!

For those of you who feel this way, I hope you'll forward it on, helping others is helping yourself.

Thanks for the invite!

Among psychiatric patients, there are many who suffer from diabetes, especially the older psychiatric patients many of whom have high blood sugar. There is no need to worry about this because, psychiatric hospitals are also hospitals in which general wards are also available to treat any illness. Unless the physical illness is severe and the mental state permits, the family can take the patient to a better general hospital for treatment of the physical illness.
