2. Treatment Methods

(1) Psychotherapy: Since reactive psychosis is caused by obvious and strong mental trauma, psychotherapy is particularly important. First, interpretive psychotherapy should be used to analyze the patient and point out how to correctly deal with the mental stimulation that causes the onset of the disease; then the nature of the disease should be explained so that the patient can understand the law of the onset of the disease; and support and encouragement should be given to relieve the patient's worries and mobilize the patient's subjective initiative to overcome the disease. The patient should be comforted and assured to promote the development of the disease in a favorable direction. (2) Environmental therapy: Since the patient has a significant traumatic experience of the situation at the time of the onset of the disease, in order to promote the early improvement of the disease, the environment should be adjusted to eliminate the adverse stimulation of the disease. Practice has shown that transferring the patient to an exciting new environment has a positive significance for treatment. (3) Drug therapy and physical therapy: Although these treatments are symptomatic, they are also indispensable. First of all, the patient's sleep should be guaranteed. For patients with anxiety, restlessness, insomnia, weak tranquilizers can be used to adjust the functional state of the brain and prolong physiological sleep time. Commonly used drugs include diazepam, chlordiazepoxide, antalol or chloral hydrate, etc.
