关于心理障碍抑创伤的心理辅导

经常接到一些关于忧郁症或心理障碍、压抑、创伤方面的求助。其实一般的医院均有精神科，大的医院还分儿童和成人(Children/Adults Mental Institution)如: Jewish General Hospital, Vistoria Hospital, Montreal General Hospital 及 Notre Dame Hospital 等。而心理医生亦分两种:

Psychiatry doctor: 如有太阳卡医疗免费，药物自费；住院治疗全免--侧重药物治疗附以心理辅导。

Psychologist doctor: 视个人经济情况而定，但私立的不论经济如何均需收费--以心理辅导为主加以药物治疗。

但是西医侧重药物治疗，而西药Anti-Depressant 往往有很大的副作用；尤其当病人住院治疗，由于有些医务人员不尊重精神病人，故往往病人无谓的白受委屈。这些都是大家必须注意的。

应该说，很多病人均因遭受极大的压力、打击或刺激精神承受不了才得病的。他们首先需要得到的是人们的理解、尊重、体贴和关怀远远胜过于药物治疗，遗憾的是这儿的心理医生往往只侧重药物，强调病人体内的化学成分平衡，其结果是病人的病情越治越糟。为此本人深有体会:

作为病人本身应该尽量放开心怀，万事退一步想，退一步海阔天空；诸事许努力进取，但必须泰然处之。世事不尽人意、不平不公的事比比皆是；人生本来苦多于乐，尤其是我们身处异国他乡，人文背景大相径庭，因此心态的调整是非常重要的。本人受冤屈前后整十年，虽时时不断的追求还我公道，迄今尚未结果。如果不是自己宽慰调整心态，即便不死亦疯了。
