Mental Health Rehabilitation?

My bf came with me on a backpacking trip to AZ. He had a light heat stroke and did not proceed to nurse himself properly by drinking lots of fluids and eating right. Shortly thereafter, he contracted viral meningitis. He is recovering but his mental health is far from normal. He is moody, short tempered, highly irrational and lies about everything. His physical appearance lacks concern or refinement as well. I think he's addicted to pain killers too. Anyone have any advice or insight on his future mental health? I'm already going to leave him but I'm curious if he will ever be normal again.

Yes, his family is already involved and is aware of his deteriorating mental health. I believe he has been medicating himself behind my back for a while too. I have tried to help him but I cannot be dragged down while going to college for my degree.

if he has become addicted to pain killers then he is going to be moody and will lie. also his appearance will become less important. i don't think that viral meningitis causes mental health problems. i had a friend who had it and recovered very well, he may have already had a mental health issue that he was hidding from you and is choosing to self medicate with painkillers. so he deffinatly needs help coming off the painkillers and you might want to point him in that direction. if he is short tempered and unpredictable when you do decide to break up with him you might want to make sure that you are in a safe place. maybe also talk to his family about your concerns and let them know what you are planning on doing. hope that this helps and good luck

his addiction could very well do him in...so i think thats that

You're going to leave your boyfriend after he suffered brain injury from going on vacation with you??

In more serious cases, this can cause hearing and/or speech loss, blindness, permanent brain and nerve damage, behavioral changes, cognitive disabilities, lack of muscle control, seizures, and memory loss. These patients may need long-term therapy, medication, and supportive care.

Brain and personality changes as a result of meningitis are usually permanent. Unfortunately.

take him to the doctors. tell him you have a problem and you want him to be there for you.

Depression, Tension & Increase of will-power.



Increasing the will-power : Our mind has a great effect on these glands. For example, continuous fear damages the Pituitary gland and makes one timid. Similarly,tension and worry disturb the Pineal gland and so leads to high B.P. and as Pineal gland controls other glands it also disturbs other glands and digestive system. In modern times, strees-tension or worry-fear have increased and they often disturb these endocrine glands. If these endocrine glands are not treated immediately, it might lead to malfunctioning of other glands of the body. As these glands are interrelated, whenever one gland is disturbed, the other glands also get disturbed. So, when you press on the points of these endocrine glands you will feel pain on points of more than one gland especially in case of chronic diseases. Therefore, it is very improtant to give Acupressure treatment on all the endocrine glands and keep them under proper control.

These glands also control the mind (the will-power). So in order to get rid of bad habits like smoking, drinking, drug addiction or even overeating, it is extremely necessary to give treatment on all endocrine glands for at least, fifteen days. Because, these people lack the necessary will-power to give up bad habits, they often break their vows to stop such bad habits and so they are considered unreliable. However, a treatment of fifteen days will give them necessary will-power to stop these bad habits after that. And they will be free from the withdrawal symptoms of stopping these bad habits.

Nervous tension : In the modern days because of fast life and loss of contentment,nervous tension keeps on building up increasingly, tending to damage our mind and health.

How to find out : Ask the patient to lie down on the back and ask some one to press on the base of the middle toe in both the legs. If there is a hurting sensation,it means nervous tension. If the hurting is unbearable, it means that the person is on the verge of collapse and needs immediate attention.

C U R E : (1) While the patient is lying on the back, bend all the toes of both legs, backward. It may hurt but give little more pressure and bend them as much as possible. Repeat this three times a day till the tension is removed.

(2) Clasp your hands tightly interlocking the fingers. Then with left hand fingers press on the back of the right hand and then with right hand fingers, press on the back of the left hand. repeat for about 1 to 2 minutes, 3 to 4 times a day.

(3) Insomnia : The above mentioned treatment can be taken for 5 to 12 minutes at night in bed to ensure good sleep and cure insomnia.

(4) Take 2 glasess of gold/cilver/copper charged water reduced from 8 glasses of water daily.

(5) Kali Phos 1 m (a Biochemic medicine) : Take 8 pills in the eveining between 8 to 9 p.m. for 10 days, then once a week. After 10 days Kali Phos 12 x 4+4 pills every day. Complete course is of 45 days.

I think he'll better but I'm not sure if he'll get off the pain pills.
