Pak Yustinus Harry Nugroho and his Son who was diagnosed with schizophrenia
He started his sharing by showcasing the behaviour of his son, smoking non-stop, looking aimlessly and talking to self.
Reactions to diagnosis
When he was diagnosed, he will keep asking "why can't I go university?" He will punch himself.
#Evidence of self-blame via self-punishment.
During a relapse:
He talked to himself.
Prayed to "nobody"
Chain-smoked
His eyes were empty.
He will walk on his own - "kosong"
#Relapses are common.
How he felt
I felt really sad (sedih sekali)
Why must it be my Son?
How he react?
@Neighbours
- not defensive
- patient, explain to them, help them understand
(I received encouragement from the Neighbours in my Neighbourhood, many well wishes that he can become better)
Harus optimise. Harus positive!
