There is no doubt that Lars is a little bit mentally handicapped (I don't like to use the word disease). Communication barriers, a little autistic, the shadow left by his brother's abandonment when he was a child.
But the question is, how to help him get out of these difficulties, overcome these difficulties, and make his life a little more exciting?
One way is to go to a psychiatric hospital. However, as his sister-in-law said, one of her uncles went there and never came back. If you are sent to a mental hospital, you will no longer face a normal society, and you will no longer live a normal life, so there is a high possibility of continuing your mental health. Unless your behavior is uncontrollable and has endangered the people around you, you should be forced to be sent to a mental hospital for drugs and compulsory treatment.
In fact, what people with mental disorders need most is to live in a normal society and be treated normally by the people around them. Instead of being ruthlessly labelled and advancing into an abnormal life.
It is exactly what Lars' sister-in-law said. Lars is fortunate enough to keep his current normal life, to work normally, to go to church normally, and to help others normally. When Lars ordered an inflatable doll home and introduced it to everyone as his girlfriend, everyone around was surprised and a little bit puzzled. Lars was once again lucky to have the help of a few people. One is an old lady in the community, she persuaded the elderly around to treat Lars with a sense of normality, and treat his inflatable doll girlfriend normally. Because each of us has more or less a little glitch. Another person who has helped Lars a lot is a psychiatrist. Her treatment method is very gentle, and she has been guiding Lars’s self, so that he can bravely face the environment he is in, face the shadows in his heart, and face his own feelings. mental disorder. It was under the gentle guidance of the doctor that Lars finally decided to let his inflatable doll girlfriend "die", and finally broke his own barriers and walked out of the cocoon he made for himself.
Lars was able to successfully heal himself, or be healed, thanks to the care his community gave him. They treated him as a normal person, did not contradict what he did, and cared for him with their hearts. The whole town was "crazy" with him, and it was this kind of tolerance and love, coupled with the guidance of a professional psychiatrist, that Lars gradually became healthy.
Each of us is more or less mentally handicapped.
The best way to treat mental disorders is community care plus professional psychotherapy.
The key to psychotherapy may be whether you are willing to face it and whether you are willing to change.
Caring for those with mental disorders requires courage and love, and it requires a certain price to pay.
It is a pity that there is no very competent psychiatrist in China. I don't think about the problem from the patient's point of view at all. And social care is lacking. The first reaction to encountering psychological problems is: madman, get out of the way~
