Catatonic Schizophrenia – How To Deal And Treat It
There are many kinds of schizophrenia. One of them is – Catatonia. Catatonia is the kind of schizophrenia when a person doesn’t react to his surroundings. Sometimes he seats or lye in one position and is not able or willing to move.
It is important to remember that if a person is Catatonic, you should continue to talk to him because he is able to hear and understand you. Although he is not moving, he still can hear or see you.
Catatonia can appear during a person’s psychosis disorder. Catatonia doesn’t have to appear in only this one and only kind. It can be among few others of the schizophrenia appearance like paranoia or when a person feels like he is the king of the world.
What you should always remember is that this person is not dead, he still can feel, hear and see you even though it seems like he can’t, therefore you should continue with your efforts to contact with him.
Above all, don’t stop to try and contact with a psychotic person, he needs your empathy and attention, your worm hug and your acceptance of him in order to accept his treatment.
You should always remember that even though the person don’t accept the fact that he is in some kind of trouble and he is certain that nothing wrong with him, don’t try to force on him or even shout or yell at him, it won’t help and this kind of behavior would cause exactly the opposite reaction that is needed now from him.
