የቤተሰብ አባል የአእምሮ ህመም ሲኖርበት ማድረግ የሚገቡ 2 ነገሮች
============================
የአእምሮ ህመም ላለበት ሰው የቤተሰብ ድጋፍ ከፍተኛ አዎንታዊ ሚና አለው። በተለይ ህመሙን ተቋቁሞ፤ በቶሎ አገግሞ ወደ መደበኛ ህይወት የመመለሱን ሂደት ያፈጥነዋል። በተቃራኒው የቤተሰብ አባልን የአእምሮ ህመም አለመቀበል በታማሚው ላይ ጫና፣ በህመሙ ላይ መባባስ እንዲሁም በአካባቢው ማህበረሰብ መገለልን ያስከትላል።

የቤተሰብ አባል የአእምሮ ህመም ሲኖርበት ማድረግ የሚገቡ ሁለት ነጥቦች።
1) በቂ መረጃ መሰብሰብ
------------------------------
ስለ ህመሙና ስለ ህክምናው በቂ መረጃ መሰብሰብ በጣም አስፈላጊ ነው። የምናውቀውንና የምንቀበለውን መለወጥ እንችላለን። በተቃራኒው የማናውቀውንና የማንቀበለውን ነገር መለወጥ አስቸጋሪ ነው። ስለ ህመሙና ስለ ህክምናው ከባለሞያዎች፣ ከህክምና ተቋማት ፣ ለተመሳሳይ ህመም ከሚታከሙ ሰዎች፣ ከመፃህፍት እንዲሁም ከኢንተርኔት መረጃ መሰብሰብ በአባባል ደረጃ የሚነገሩ ነገሮችን ከማመን በተሻለ ወደ መፍትሄ ይመራል።

2) መነጋገር
---------------
የቤተሰብ አባል የአእምሮ ህመም ሲኖርበት ምን እየተሰማው ወይም ምን እያሰበ እንደሆነ ከመገመት መጠየቅ። ስንገምት እንሳሳታለን። ህመም ያለበት ሰው የሚረዳው ሰው እንደሌለ ይገነዘብና ብቸኝነት ይሰማዋል። በተጨማሪም "መደረግ አለበት!" ብለን የምንገምተውን ነገር እንዲያደርጉ ከመገፋፋት ወይም ከመምከር እንዴት ልንረዳቸው እንደምንችል መጠየቅ በራስ መተማመንን ስለሚጨምር ሀላፊነት እንዲወስዱ ያግዛል።

ያለ አእምሮ ጤና፤ ጤና የለም።

መልካም ጊዜ!
ዶ/ር ዮናስ ላቀው።
