DIFFICULT PATIENTS-SELF DESTRUCTIVE DENIERS


Self-destructive deniers-whilst suffering from a potentially serious condition will make no effort to alter their self-destructive behaviors, eliciting and then frustrating medical efforts to help them. Only a small amount can be done for these patients.  Consultation for depression in chronic ill patient can help. Patient with severe non-proliferative diabetic reinopathy with IHD with hemiplegia making no effort in taking a medicine or following instructions.

TRY THIS

Counseling a patient for how much pain he is giving to care takers might help in some cases. Educate at each step. Importance of treatment should be told.
