Welcome to our
article,
Our human brain and its problems.
Dear readers, today
we are talking about mental health. You know, in life there are many
problems; one of the biggest problems is our human brains, when it does not
work the way it is supposed to work, and instead of solving the problems that
we have, it becomes a problem itself. We can say that mental illness is strange to understand.
Anyhow, today I am witnessing one of this mental health problems at close range, so, let us see, if we can do anything to help this person. I think that it can help talking about it, because it is the only way to find help, about what can be done.
------------------------------------
This is a personal
cry for help.
I think that people
that are affected from a mental disorder, they are not aware of the problems
they are causing to themselves and the people around them, they are aware that
they have a health problem, but they don’t know what to do, so, while they wish
to be helped, they don’t try to find help because they are confused. So, we can
say that it is a silent cry for help; it is a sad story, they need help, but
they don’t look for help.
I know that these things happen in life, and I believe it is useful to talk about what is happening to this young man, hoping that somebody can help me.
You see, what I am
talking about here, is a very strange case of mental illness, that is affecting
a young man close to me. Now because this case is about mental health, all
names and relationship to me have been changed, so, there is no link that can
identify the person concerned. Anyhow, I am not an expert in mental health
issues, even though I have observed a few cases of mental illness.
Anyhow, this article is not meant to pass advise or information to anybody, because I need advice myself, therefore, you can say that this article here is a cry for help. Therefore, I am in search of what can be done to help this young man, before he becomes too ill, that would be hard for him to become a normal member of the community again, as I fear that there are signs that this is happening. Now that I have explained the reasons, let me tell you about the people involved in this case.
------------------------------------
People involved in
this case.
In this article we
are talking about Mr. James Lee, who is the son of Mr. Don Lee; anyhow I and
Mr. Don Lee have been friends for years, even before he married Sara who is a
close relative to me, so, there is not much that I don’t know about Don Lee and
his family, including James Lee that is now a young man in his early thirties.
Unfortunately, James Lee has mental health problems, for this reason we believe
he lost his job, or he left his job as an engineer; yes Mr. James Lee is a
Civil engineer; he graduated at the University of Queensland, he has worked for
a few years as a Civil engineer and that was good for him; the real reason why
he lost a left his job is hard to say, because James Lee keeps these personal
things to himself.
Therefore, these
days Mr. James Lee does not work, and he is not looking for work ether, if he
continues to do nothing, he is going to waste his life achieving nothing. Mr.
Don Lee laments this state of things, so, he is worried about his son mental
health, because he is acting strange, as I am going to explain here under.
Anyhow, we want to help James Lee; so, we are looking for ways how to help him.
While we are
thinking to help him, we start thinking all those years of studying have gone
down the drain, because James Lee is mentally sick, and does not want to see
the mental doctors, he denies his illness, and that has become a real problem
for everybody around.
Anyhow, we are
concerned about him, so, we want to help him and are looking for help and
crying for help to anyone that can help. But at the same time, we don’t want to
say much openly, because it is not nice to talk about people with mental
illness. So, even asking for help has become a problem, in this case.
-------------------------------------------
Mr. Lee parents
lament his illness.
Mr. and Mrs. Lee
lament about their son illness, because they have done everything they could to
help him, but they did not succeed in helping him much, so, they don’t know
what else to do, you see, wherever they turn there are problems. Anyhow, today these
mental health problems are hard to solve; I can see the reasons why, but at the
same time, I wish that it was easier to access this mental health service.
Today it is hard to
see a mental health doctor, but it needs to be easy; because in cases like
James Lee, I believe that it is necessary that the patient be seen from these
doctors soon, because the longer a patient is sick, the longer it is going to
take to make him healthy again; therefore, they need to be seen as soon as
possible, but most times it does not happen that way, that is why James Lee’s
parents lament about the mental health system. Because it is hard to see a
young Civil Engineer go to waste. At this point of time, I believe that you
want to know why we believe that he is mentally sick, so, let us describe how
he behaves and what he does.
James Lee is not
working these days, and he does not look for work, which is not right for a
qualified young man of his age; his behavior is strange and does not make
sense to anybody that sees what he does. Now let me describe a few strange
things that he does: he comes home and he starts making loud noise by banging
say the car keys on the table, then he may go in his bedroom and slams the door,
after that he purposely drops things on the floor and makes loud noise, if
anybody asks him what is the problem, he gets very upset, because he is upset
he wants to scratch himself, slap himself or bite himself and other strange
things as well, and then he blame the person asking him and say; look what you
make me do? It is your fault, because you are making me do this to myself: But
that is not all, because his behavior keeps changing, so, it is even hard to
make a list of what he does. For this reason, the family and close friends are
concerned about James Lee.
Anyhow, because we
want to explain Mr. James Lee behavior as much as possible, we are going to
say more about his strange behavior here-under.
------------------------------
Mr. James Lee
illness strange behavior.
As we have said, we believe that James Lee has mental illness, because Mr. James Lee is behaving in many strange ways and it is hard to explain most of them, but I must try to describe the most obvious, and the most consistent, so that a profile story case can be made. So, let us tell you what has happened recently, then, we will start telling you the story, in a more detailed way from the beginning.
As we have said
above, James Lee becomes upset and agitated, when people talk to him, he likes
to stay all by himself with his own thoughts, but at the same time he makes
these noises that upset the people around him; so, what has happened a few
weeks ago is this; it was about past ten PM when most people go off to bed, but
James Lee was not thinking of going to sleep at that time, he must have been
upset in his own strange ways, because he started one of those strange behavior,
and was making very loud noises, his parents tried to ask him why he was doing
these things, but James Lee became upset and among other things, like
scratching his face, hitting himself with his own fist in the head, dropping on
the floor, as if he was dying or something similar, he also went into the
kitchen picked up a knife and wanted to harm himself with it, and many other
things that are hard to describe.
Mr. and Mrs. Lee
were very worried about James, and even though they were very upset and telling
their son that they wanted him to see a doctor as soon as possible, or they would
call an ambulance to take him to the nearest hospital; James Lee did not want
to hear about it, and he tried to stop them several times, when they were
calling the ambulance, but in the end somehow they managed to call the
ambulance and it came about midnight; strange as it may seem, James did not
argue much with the paramedic of the ambulance, while the ambulance was there,
Mr. Don Lee the father of James Lee explained to the paramedic about the
suicidal intention of his son, in the hope that he would be seen from a
psychiatrist, so, they thought that when the doctors see their son, their
problem would be half solved, but even all this effort was not to be
successful, because James Lee only saw the physician of the hospital during the
night, or in the early hours of the morning; then he was supposed to wait at
the hospital until the psychiatrist came in to see him, but he did not want to
wait, so, he left the hospital and walked back home. The staff of the hospital
were alarmed at his disappearance and called Mr. Lee, to see if James Lee had
returned home. Anyhow, soon after that James came home, so, everything seemed
to be a bit better, except for the fact that James Lee had failed to see the
psychiatrist, when his parents had provided one of the best opportunities to
see him.
Here we have to
point out, that it is hard to live with these people that have a mental
illness, and a good opportunity that could have solved the problem has
vanished, just because James Lee is in denial and he believes that he does not
need to see a psychiatrist. So, now Mr. Lee and the rest of the family are
waiting for next opportunity or think to create another opportunity for James
to see a mental doctor.
----------------------------------
Mr. and Mrs. Lee days
are a torment.
Since the day James
Lee came back from the hospital without seeing the psychiatrist, life is a
torment for Mr. and Mrs. Lee. Because they are still looking for ways of how
they can make their son James see a psychiatrist, so, every day that passes, it
is another day of torment for Mr. Lee and his family; one has to acknowledge,
that there is nothing more painful than this sad happening in a normal day
life, because you are forced to see that a member of your family can be helped,
but you cannot help him, because he denies that he needs help.
Today I am editing
this article, because I need to add something else, as things have changed.
But, let me tell you these sad happenings have gone on for several months, and
all that time it has been a torment for Mr. and Mrs. Lee. But one day after
many attempts finally they got their son to see a mental specialist, which
admitted James Lee to hospital, where James Lee stayed about a week. Because a
patient in hospital costs a lot of money to the government, Mr. James Lee was discharged
early. Anyhow, at this point of time things seem to be a bit better; because
James Lee admits to himself that he is sick, so, he takes his medicine, and
goes back to see the hospital doctor every month.
Now it has been a
few months since Mr. James Lee was in hospital. Today James Lee is a bit
better, because he is not very agitated like he was before, but still he is not
able to work, because he does not even look for work. Mr. and Mrs. Lee are
worried, because this can become permanent, as they don’t see their son health
improve enough, and to the point of becoming independent.
Anyhow, one wonders
how hard life can be, it seems to hit always the same unfortunate people, is
seems to run in some families more than the others. Anyhow, at this point of
time, we must wait and see what happens next.
-----------------------------
Today I am editing
this article.
Today I am editing
this article, so, I want to report what has been happening, since I wrote this
article about James Lee illness. There is not much positive to report, because
even though the state of health of, Mr. James Lee has improved, it has not
improved that much, but he is calmer than before. However, James Lee has not
found a job, and he is not looking for one.
Mr. Don Lee and
Mrs. Lee are upset, because now, they start to believe that their son may never
work again, after so many years of study and everything else. They have tried
their best, they have made their son see a physiatrist, he has been in hospital
for a week, and a few follow up visits, which have helped a little. I suppose that
today the doctors cannot fix everything, and in the case of James Lee, they
have only partly helped.
Anyhow, Mr. and
Mrs. Lee were proud to have their son a civil engineer in the family, now they
think that they are going to have a sick son to look after, so, in their old
age, instead of their son looking after them, they must continue to look after
their son, because James does not know what he is doing.
So, what can we
say, we can only be sorry for them, because no one deserves to be this ill that
cannot look after oneself, and we feel sorry for the parents as well, because
that is a big burden they should endure, for the rest of their lives.
Having told you James Lee sad story, I can only say that I feel sorry for them. But what can we do? That is life, we must accept it and try to do our best, and hope that God gives us strength to continue to live the best way we can.
I believe that I have said enough in this mental article article problem. Next time will be writing a problem on the internet, My accounts on Hub Pages .
