Chronic Psychosocial Conflict Can Be Prevented

Mental illness is a major problem. Internationally, the patients diagnosed with mental health problems account for approximately 25% of adults attending a primary care in our area the percentages are similar.

The importance of these problems also indirectly reflects the amount of drug costs. Antidepressants, tranquilizers and sedatives appear among the most prescribed drug groups with a clear upward trend.

Many mental health problems and chronic psychosocial conflict can be prevented in one degree or another if addressed early. With this work our intention is to educate the people closest to these patients to be able to detect symptoms and prevent these diseases can evolve to acquire the status of chronic or permanent.

EVOLUTION OF MENTAL ILLNESS

Psychiatry is the science that deals with mental illness or mental, understanding mental illness (according to WHO, 1950): “the alteration of mental functioning and specific enough expresses its clinical features to be uniformly identifiable by reference to a model clearly defined and serious enough to cause a loss of professional or social adaptation, which is translated in particular by the lack of work or social and judicial interventions.

The distinction between mental health and mental illness is not as clear as health and disease. We understand mental health of the individual’s ability to build relationships, participate constructively in changing the environment, develop and adapt to personality conflicts. The concepts of health and mental illness vary considerably from society to society and even within a society vary from one social class to another.

In early 2000, psychiatry as a young science continues to advance. Today, these patients are treated at home following an outpatient basis, depending on the condition of each.

In acute outbreaks, were admitted to schools, as long ago. Entry to these schools is one of the bitterest moments for both the mental patient and his family, why should only resort to this measure when it is absolutely justified (in some cases there are families who claim their children for having stuck to thus the entry into a hospital.) The income can be carried out in two ways:

• Volunteer Income: the patient is convinced of the need for income.

• Forced Entry: The patient is not considered ill, rejected the hospital and, therefore we must resort to deception or force, which is considered to have serious risks that justify breaking their will.

You can talk about current or contemporary psychiatry since 1945 and agree on this date a series of decisive changes that substantially affect future guidelines will Psychiatry. From the years 1950-1960 there are two important aspects:

- The role of psychotropic drugs in the treatment of these patients.

- A change in the sociological perspectives to the mentally ill.

These two facts make these patients so far admitted to what is commonly known as “asylums” be returned to society and that the new sociological view that the mentally ill are created by society and therefore should be she who care for them. At this time, well, healing begins to talk about mental illness prevention.

At the beginning of the second millennium, there have been significant in relation to the issue of prevention of mental illness to such an extent that today you can get an early diagnosis of mental illness with appropriate medication can be inserted into the society as a citizen.
