How to overcome hallucinations? Can it be treated with medication?

In fact, hallucinations can be treated. The treatment methods for this disease can be mainly divided into two types: psychotherapy and drug therapy. Generally, psychotherapy is the main method, supplemented by drug therapy. The specific method needs to be determined according to the patient's condition.

1. Psychological treatment of delusional disorder first requires establishing a good therapeutic relationship and changing certain behaviors by providing support to the patient. In addition, patients should avoid excessive psychological stress, as psychologically stressful situations often affect the intensity of delusions. Teaching appropriate adaptation skills based on individual circumstances, or cooperating with cognitive behavioral therapy, can reduce the individual's inappropriate response to stress. If the patient agrees, his or her family should be encouraged to participate in the treatment plan, which will help the treatment progress.

2. Antipsychotic drugs are mainly used in the drug treatment of delusional disorder . The treatment of delusional disorder mainly relies on drugs, but different types of delusional disorder should require different treatments. Antipsychotics are one of the first-line drugs. If the patient does not cooperate with treatment, long-acting injections of antipsychotic drugs may be considered. Antidepressants may be used if the patient has significant mood swings, including post-psychotic depression.

3. Antipsychotic drugs are divided into two types: Western medicine and Chinese medicine. Generally speaking, in order to completely cure delusional disorder, Chinese and Western medicine need to be used in combination, and professional psychological counseling is required. Representatives of traditional Chinese medicine include Zhangji Qingshen and Ginkgo biloba leaf extract; representatives of Western medicine include olanzapine, clozapine, amisulpride, risperidone, sulpiride, etc. The advantage of Western medicine is that it can take effect quickly, while the advantage of Chinese medicine is that it can repair damaged brain nerves and cure the patient from the root.
