If someone has a mental health problem then recovering from that
problem would not ensure total recovery from the mental health problem.
Recovering from any kind of mental health problem refers to take control
of one's life in spite of the mental health. The caregivers who take
care of the mental health patients take care of them. The mental health
of carers is also important and even they should be given proper
counseling. These caregivers can motivate the patients by building
resilience in them and supporting the recovery of the people suffering
from mental illness.
To recover from mental illness is not an easy task and when it comes
to mental patients the recovery refers to vision, outlook, process,
guiding principle that even people with mental problems can lead a
meaningful life.
There are some people who face learning disabilities and for them life
is a bit difficult as for them it is harder to lead their lives. As
learning disability is not like a terminal disease and with so many
advances in science the disability can be treated and the person can
recover quite quickly.
There are number services for learning disabilities and methods on how to overcome them-
. The first thing is to learn everything about the diagnosis.
. Try different things and you will notice that there are a lot of improvements in the patients' health.
. Encourage the sufferer to come out of their comfort zone and set
targets for them which they can achieve. When these goals are achieved
then they can slowly go for achieving the difficult ones. But make sure
that you do not push the person to go for things which will not be
useful for them.
Encourage them to take part in different activities and challenge
them to different activities so that they too can have some fun. Every
experience will enrich them to become better.
They should get support from parents as well support services so that
they can overcome the learning disabilities. The person who is
suffering from learning disabilities is no different from the others.
They too want to live a normal and a healthy life so they have every
right to live.
When something goes wrong allow the person who is disabled to fix the
problem themselves. Help only when it is required or step in if the
sufferer is becoming agitated or if the situation is going out of
control. After the situation is over take some time out and discuss it
with them and try to solve the problem so that it is not repeated the
next time. Mental health of carers should also be considered and proper
acre and counseling should be given to them too. Services for learning
disabilities should be availed for the betterment of the mentally
disabled people.
