<\/a>Daughter-in-law, grand daughter<\/p><\/div>
\nI’ve included everyone’s pictures in this post, from caring field-worker, to concerned husband, to filial children. And left out my patient’s picture. I am baffled. She was suffering from schizophrenia and recovering so well. She was conversing, helping around the house, living what I thought was a fruitful and joyful life with her supportive family. Then recently they called me saying she was suffering from tremors. She could no longer get out of bed. She was very discouraged.
\nWhen we visited I realized every time I was able to distract her she would stop shaking. If she was deep in thought or conversation, the tremors would go away. I’ve seen this in several of our women patients and one male patient. I don’t understand this very well. When they are this way, their entire family rallies around them, family members have to work extra hard because they now have also to perform the chores of their loved one whose ‘ill’. Meanwhile the caregivers themselves are exhausted, wearied from the extra chores and burdens, wondering if the person they are caring for will ever get well.
\nI don’t really know how to react to this. How should we pr for such patients and friends? What would be helpful behaviour and response?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
