Documents on the most common mental health reasons for hospitalization
A common cause in Asian hospitalized patients over 45 years of age. Please answer your question here. Michel de Bras, psychiatrist at Tufts Medical Center. I’m glad to meet you. Nice to meet you doctor. Thank you for your time. So let’s take a look at the latest federal data. other than pregnancy. The number one reason young adults are hospitalized is blood infections that I can’t tell. And then I dismantle it. how do you pronounce it sepsis. Thank you very much. It’s a blood infection, but her 2, 3, 5 of them are all mental health related. Why should a person with any of these conditions be hospitalized? But I think the only way to know someone needs hospitalization is if there are serious safety concerns. When you start thinking about hurting people, those are the absolute reasons for hospitalization. It means that it is starting to become impossible. Don’t eat, don’t drink, don’t care about hygiene, and make really reckless decisions that can really endanger yourself or others. All of these are reasons to see a doctor, and these symptoms are fairly obvious. Well, doctors, the National Alliance on Mental Illness says the average delay between symptom onset and treatment is 11 years. Do you think you can avoid some of the symptoms? Absolutely. And we know that this study shows that getting treatment for mental illness early improves outcomes and prognosis. It is a lot of suffering to have. And the sooner we can get help, the sooner we can get rid of a lot of suffering and hopefully make it less debilitating. Doesn’t take over our entire lives for a while. That is why it is so important to seek help sooner or later. Physicians with the National Mental Health Coalition say 32% of his Americans with mental illness have experienced substance use disorders due to alcohol and other drugs. So what do you want your family to know about that connection? You know, I was talking about mental illness. There are many sufferings. You know, people are really depressed. they are really worried. They may be hearing harsh voices all day long and are looking for ways to deal with their suffering and stress, especially if they don’t have access to mental health care. As a result, substance use disorders have a very high comorbidity with people who have mental health issues. Their insight is compromised. Their judgment is impaired. And they’re making decisions they wouldn’t normally make. It may involve substance use or abuse. Doctor. DIBIASE, thank you for your time today. We appreciate it very much.
