關於心理障礙抑創傷的心理輔導

經常接到一些關於憂鬱症或心理障礙、壓抑、創傷方麵的求助。其實一般的醫院均有精神科，大的醫院還分兒童和成人(Children/Adults Mental Institution)如: Jewish General Hospital, Vistoria Hospital, Montreal General Hospital 及 Notre Dame Hospital 等。而心理醫生亦分兩種:

Psychiatry doctor: 如有太陽卡醫療免費，藥物自費；住院治療全免--側重藥物治療附以心理輔導。

Psychologist doctor: 視個人經濟情況而定，但私立的不論經濟如何均需收費--以心理輔導為主加以藥物治療。

但是西醫側重藥物治療，而西藥Anti-Depressant 往往有很大的副作用；尤其當病人住院治療，由於有些醫務人員不尊重精神病人，故往往病人無謂的白受委屈。這些都是大家必須注意的。

應該說，很多病人均因遭受極大的壓力、打擊或刺激精神承受不了才得病的。他們首先需要得到的是人們的理解、尊重、體貼和關懷遠遠勝過於藥物治療，遺憾的是這兒的心理醫生往往隻側重藥物，強調病人體內的化學成分平衡，其結果是病人的病情越治越糟。為此本人深有體會:

作為病人本身應該盡量放開心懷，萬事退一步想，退一步海闊天空；諸事許努力進取，但必須泰然處之。世事不盡人意、不平不公的事比比皆是；人生本來苦多於樂，尤其是我們身處異國他鄉，人文背景大相徑庭，因此心態的調整是非常重要的。本人受冤屈前後整十年，雖時時不斷的追求還我公道，迄今尚未結果。如果不是自己寬慰調整心態，即便不死亦瘋了。
