In daily life, people often use the word "mental illness" when joking or swearing. In fact, what people want to express in their hearts is often the meaning of "mental illness"

In the non-professional field, neuropathy is usually confused with psychosis.

No one wants unpleasant things to happen because they have mental illness, especially with everyone. If this really happens to you, I suggest you go to the psychiatric department of Guiyang Traditional Chinese Medicine Brain Hospital immediately. Really, don't waste time seeing a doctor, because you don't know what will happen next.

In medicine, neuropathy and psychosis are two different concepts.

Neuropathy refers to diseases of the nervous system, also known as neuritis in the past, and refers to diseases of the nervous system and skeletal muscle caused by vascular diseases, infections, degeneration, tumors, trauma, poisoning, immune disorders, genetic factors, congenital developmental abnormalities, nutritional deficiencies and metabolic disorders. According to the different positions and functions of nerves, the nervous system can be divided into central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. Neuropathy refers to the pathological characteristics of peripheral nerve damage in anatomy, and its main feature is organic pathological changes of peripheral nerve.

Mental illness refers to a kind of serious mental illness caused by various factors (including biological, psychological and social environmental factors), which is characterized by sensory perception, thinking, emotion, will and behavior. To put it simply, the patient's cognitive, emotional, will, behavior and other psychological activities can appear persistent and obvious abnormalities, unable to study, work and live normally, and the behavior is difficult to be understood by ordinary people. Under the control of morbid psychology, they commit suicide or attack or hurt others.

How to distinguish neuropathy from psychosis?

Neuropathy usually manifests as headache, dizziness, abnormal sleep, tremor, unsteady walking, paralysis of lower limbs, hemiplegia, numbness of limbs, convulsions, coma, uncontrollable urination and defecation, muscle atrophy and weakness.

Generally speaking, the symptoms of nervous system diseases can be divided into two categories: one is stimulation, which is manifested as pain and numbness; The other is a destructive symptom, which is characterized by weakness and paralysis.

Mental illness is often dominated by mental symptoms, usually manifested as long-term obvious abnormalities in psychological activities such as cognition, emotion, will and behavior, which affect normal study, work and life.

For example, we often hear that depression, mania, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia and other diseases belong to mental illness.

Finally, psychiatric medical workers remind everyone: no matter mental illness or mental illness, once the body appears unwell symptoms, you should seek medical advice in time!
