Mental hospitals exist to provide medications and therapy in a strictly controlled environment. The point of therapy is to recognize you problem behavior or thought process and take what steps you can take to change that behavior. Something called cognitive behavioral therapy is a hugely popular approach to therapy. It is all about finding out what is responsible for an unwanted behavior and learning how to change it.



With medications we can ideally get stable on our meds and hopefully get level headed enough to realize that we are better off if we keep taking the meds.



These are both examples of learned behaviors.How do people learn to change their behaviour after stay in mental hospital?
Hey,



I am going to start of by stating the reality that often they don't change their behaviour after being hospitalised. Some people have mental illnesses that can't be made better by a simple change in behaviour and those peoples who can often don't change after hospital anyway and it can very much depend on the hospital and the treatment and therapy that they offer. Many people who are hospitalised are not done so because they need therapy as this can be done outside of hospital as outpatient care, therefore many people who go into hospital are there simply to protect them from themselves in times of high emotions and danger and after a period of time has been spent in hospital when them emotions can be calmed down and perhaps released through talking etc then they are able to go home.



For some of course who do recieve good therapy from their stay in hospital may learn to pick up better coping techniques to help them help themselves and this can cause a change to occur. Some people who end up in hospital have perhaps never seen anyone for their mental ill health before being admitted to hospital and thus haven't had the chance to be told what to do to feel better, how to cope and also haven't had the chance to be removed from their situation and given some breathing space and this too can help.



A patients behaviour may only change if they learn something positive from their experience that they feel they can take with them and put to practice in everyday life.

Therapy, medication, lots of support from friends and family, and luck. Mental illnesses can be caused by biological factors and bad experiences. Retraining the brain how to react in situations is not easy and can take years. Whether you are a friend, family member, or person being released, learning as much as possible about the condition is important. Specifically, you'll want to know what to look for before a relapse occurs. If your concerned that relapse is on its way, this is something that needs to be shared with the person's therapist. If you are a close family member of someone being released, you may want to consider counseling for yourself. This provides an excellent way to vent frustrations and focus on helping the person close to you.How do people learn to change their behaviour after stay in mental hospital?
I was in a psyciatric hospital for 6 days for cutting and suicidal problems.

like its really a personal thing. you learn a lot about yourself while your there and its all about if you want to get better. you can totally lie and BS your way out of the hospital, but if you honestly want to get better, you will.



I made a list of triggers and coping skills and stuff and I've opened up to my parents (I'm 15...lol) about telling them if I need help or if I'm having urges.



I'm also seeing pschitrists (okay wow. bad spelling) and stuff.



I reccomend finding some activities that are just pleasant for you. When I was at the hospital, I took up painting and journaling (they gave us a journal to write in) and just write down whatever you are feeling.



but yeah. it is hard to not relapse and fall back into old habits. its all about if you want to be better :)

Last time I was in (2 1/2 years ago), most of the days were spent in classes that taught us better ways of doing things. They encouraged us to make a %26quot;tool kit%26quot;, a little book with information like stress relievers and other ways to react to things and affirmations and things like that. I don't carry or use my tool kit anymore, but a lot of what they taught has stayed with me. You have to actually DO these things in order for them to do any good. It's hard to get used to, but the more you do it, the more it will become more natural feeling and habitual.How do people learn to change their behaviour after stay in mental hospital?

They figure out what is causing the behavior through therapy and try to find a solution or to cope with the feelings they have.
