Ktieb... Il-Kwiekeb fid-dlam jixegħlu
An Invaluable Tool for the relatives of persons with mental health problems.
Two local NGOs working in the field of mental health, namely, the Mental Health Association Malta and the St Jeanne Antide Foundation, have together published a book specifically for the relatives of persons with mental health problems. The book is also useful to professionals working with the mentally ill and to those who are thinking of pursuing a career in working with families. The book's title is Il-Kwiekeb fid-Dlam, Jixeghlu vjaggi ta' tama mterrqa minn qraba ta' persuni b'mard mental i. 25 volunteers were involved in the production of the book as part of the organisations' activities for the European Year of Volunteering 2011.
Il-Kwiekeb fid-Dlam Jixeghlu is a source of hope to those relatives who feel stressed with the responsibilty of taking care of a person with mental health problems. Fourteen of the nineteen chapters of the book are written by family members who have been taking care of a mentaally ill family member for a long time. These family caregivers have decided to help others by sharing their personal experiences with the general public to combat the fear and stigma associated with mental ill health and to support other cargivers like themselves.
The book provides information relevant to certain situations encountered in various mental health illness, for example Depression, OCD, Bipolar disorder, Schizophrenia, Psychosis and Paranoia.
The preface is written by the co-founder of the Mental Health Association (MHA), Ms Connie Magro and a closing synthesis by the CEO of the St Jeanne Antide Foundation, Nora Macelli. In her message, the Honorary President of the MHA, Ms Catherine Gonzi, who is also a co-founder of the MHA, explains that the value of this book is in the personal experiences themselves. Mental well-being and mental health problems are unique experiences for each family which make this book invaluable to other families. Through others' experiences one can learn coping skills and problem-solving skills. In spite of the prevailing difficulties, one's attitude can also adapt in a positive manner for the benefit of the person with mental health problems.
Several chapters are written specifically for teaching purposes and aim to assist the teaching and other professions. An explanation on the rights of the family caregivers is also included. The last chapter provides an analysis of the common issues identified in the experiences of all 14 participants.
This book is primarily aimed for the use of carers but it is also a useful tool for professionals who work closely with people in difficult situations. It is also recommended to students, teachers, the clergy and all those persons who have at heart family values.
The book presentation is very clear, with related illustrations for each chapter and an important message that the participants want to convey to the readers. The illustrations reflect the intense emotional feelings of these family members, whilst the title of each chapter is extracted from the writers' own words.
It is envisaged that in the near future this book be published in English in an electronic format.

It-Talba tal-Qraba
li jiehdu hsieb l-gheziez taghhom b'mard mentali
Mulej hanin, ghinni biex nifhem ahjar,
u nemmen li nista' naghmel, dak li trid minni.
Ahfirli ghad-drabi kollha, anke issa,
meta nasal niddubita minnek.
Hekk kif inkun ghaddejja bix-xoghol tal-indukrar,
aghtini l-hegga biex inkompli.
Hekk kif nilmah lill-ghaziz tieghi mhux f'sikktu,
aghtini s-sahha.
Drajtni bizzejjed nistaqsik: Imma 'l ghala din it-tbatija, Mulej?
Aghtini l-gherf biex nifhem.
Hekk kif fil-familja kultant noqoghdu niftakru x'ghadda minghalina qabel il-marda,
aghtina mumenti biex nidhqu dahqa sew.
Hekk kif inpoggi hdejh sakemm il-medicina tiehu effett,
imlini bil-farag.
|
Meta nhossni se nixpakka bit-toqol tat-tbatija,
aghtini l-qawwa biex ma naqtax qalbi.
Aghtini rokna mimlija hemda,
halli fiha nsib lilek u l-anzjetà thallini.
Ghinni ninbidel minn persuna mimlija ghejja, dwejjaq, rabja u rizentimenti,
ghal persuna li tfur bl-imhabba u moghdrija, kif tassew nixtieq li nkun.
Ibqa' s-sieheb kostanti tieghi Mulej hekk kif inkompli niffaccja
l-isfida tar-risponsabbiltà li niehu hsieb il-membru ghaziz tal-familja li hu marid.
U meta jasal iz-zmien li nieqaf mill-indukrar,
u jkun il-hin li nerhi,
ghinni niftakar li l-ghaziz tieghi marid hu dejjem f'idejk.
Ammen.

LWIEN aims to provide a lifeline to family members who feel overwhelmed by the daily pressure and mental anguish of caring for a family member suffering from a mental illness.
Family Caregivers are at risk of developing mental health problems themselves. The daily struggle to grapple with the challenge of caring for a loved one with mental illness is gruelling and exhausting and often leads to high anxiety and distress. They often end up depressed. Their relationships suffer. Their morale at work is threatened.
Family caregivers of mentally ill persons lack support since service providers mostly focus on the needs of the sufferer. LWIEN tries to redress this situation by providing the following support to alleviate distress:
INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY CONSULTATIONS with a mental health practitioner with 30 years experience. Family members can discuss the nature of their family member’s illness, the symptoms, potential side-effects of medication and what to do about them, relating to the mentally ill family member without exacerbating painful behaviour patterns, and learning ways of caring for oneself without breaking down.
SOCIAL WORK SUPPORT.
COUNSELLING.
SUPPORT GROUPS.
Services respect the individual’s and family’s confidentiality.

ID-DIMENZJA
minn Connie Magro, Servizz LWIEN
Il-kliem li konna mdorrijin nuzaw biex nitkellmu fuq id-dimenzja llum inbidlet. Dari spiss konna nghidu: dak zmaga. Illum nuzaw il-kelma dimenzja biex nirreferu ghal marda li s- SINTOMI taghha jinkludu:
Sintomi fl-ewwel stadju:
- - Bidla fil-personalità ta' dak li jkun: minn persuna aktarx migbuda u maghluqa fiha nnifisha, issir persuna ferrihija, cajtiera u dahqana.
- - Telf tal-memorja : il-persuna ma tiftakarx l-ismijiet ta' oggetti u nies.
- - Il-persuna tibda tgerfex, tinsa u thawwad.
- - Puplesija jew serje ta' puplesiji li jikkawzaw dementia (single jew multi-infarct dementia).
- - Stat ta' konfuzjoni fil-mohh ikkawzat minn abbuz tal-alkohol ghal bosta snin (alcoholic dementia) fejn il-memorja, il-kapacità tal-fehma u taghlim jigu effettwati.
Sintomi fit-tieni stadju:
- - Il-persuna ma tibqax kapaci taghmel affarijiet li tkun imdorrija taghmel; tibda titlef il-hiliet li dejjem kellha; titlef is-sens ta' min hi u x'taf taghmel.
- - Ma tibqax kapaci taghmel xogholha;
- - Il-memorji l-aktar recenti titlifhom aktar maljr minn dawk tal-imghoddi.
- - Titlef is-sens ta' hin; ma tibqax tiddistingwi bejn filghodu u filghaxija.
Sintomi fit-tielet stadju
- - Tibda thuf u tintilef u wiehed ikollu joqghod b'seba' mitt ghajn halli ma titlaqx u tintilef.
- - Il-hila tal-kliem tmur u ma tibqax kapaci iddomm kliem f'sentenzi.
- - Hekk kif il-marda tidhol il-gewwa, il-persuna titlef l-abbiltà li tiehu hsieb taghha nnifisha u li tiffunzjona b'mod independenti. Allura, per ezempju, jkollha tilbes harqa u tibqa' fis-sodda.
Kliema ma jiftimiex qisa titkellem b'ilsien iehor
Tajjeb li wiehed jghid li d- DIPRESSJONI AGITATA MHIJIEX DIMENZJA . Allura jekk tabib, bla ma qabel ikun ghamel assessment, jiddeciedi li persuna ghandha dimenzja meta fil-fatt tkun qed tbati minn dipressjoni agitata, l-pilloli se jibghatu l-persuna lura u jaggravaw id-dipressjoni agitata. L-assessjar huwa importanti. Hawn numru ta' testijiet li jwasslu ghal dijanjozi korretta. B'dijanjozi korretta, il-kura mbaghad tkun aktar effettiva.
X'INHI D-DIMENZJA? Id-Dimenzja hija dizordni tal-mohh b'telf tal-memorja permanenti u bidla fil-personaliutà. Il-mard mentali jahdem fuq il-memorja u personalità. Allura, id-dimenzja hi kunsidrata marda mentali. Bid-dimenzja, persuna jibda jkollha hafna konfuzjoni fil-mohh u tibda tagixxi b'mod li qatt qabel ma tkun agixxiet bhal per ezempju tibda tidghi meta qabel qatt ma tkun lissnet daghwa.
KIF TIZVILUPPA D-DIMENZJA?
- L-izvilupp tal-marda jista' jkun bil-mod . Kelli c-cwievet u ninsa fejn inkun po[[ejthom. Toggi l-portmoni fil-frigg. Li wie]ed jinsa jista'jkun ka[un ta' anzjetà. Ninduna li mhix anzjetà meta, per ezempju, irrid immur l-Belt u ninsa n-numru tal-karozza tal-linja li ta' sikwit nunza'. Jew ninsa r-rotta biex insuq ghax-xoghol. Jew ninsa f'liema triq tinsab id-dari.
- Il-bidu tal-marda jista' jkun minnufih : bhal meta persuna ssofri minn puplesija. Id-dimenzja tista' tkun kagunata minn puplesija.
TERAPIJI: Jezistu hafna terapiji bhat-talking therapy fejn wiehed jitkellem mal-marid kontinwament fuq kollox sabiex jikseb lura l-memorja. Persuna marida bid-dimenzja tajjeb li wiehed isibilha affarijiet x'taghmel li dejjem kienet taghmel sabiex ma titlifx il-memorja u hila kompletament. Halliha taghmel l-affarijiet kollha li possibbli taghmel. Il-fatt li jirnexxilha taghmel certu affarijiet, jinkoraggiha. Wiehed jista' joqghod maghhom u jurihom films cartoons ghad-dahq u pjacir. Tahdit dwar il-passat biex titkellem dwar il-memorji tal-imghoddi. Fid-dar, wiehed jista' jizbogh l-hitan b'kuluri differenti sabiex tiftakar id-direzzjonijiet u fejn huma l-kmamar differenti.
KAWZI:
- - Alzheimer hija kawza komuni.
- - Puplesija.
- - Tumur fil-mohh.
- - Meta xi hadd jiehu daqqa kbira fuq rasu.
TRATTAMENT:
- - Axura: din il-pinnola gabet maghha zvilupp kbir fit-trattament tad-dimenzja. Tipposponi l-izvilupp tal-marda minn 5 sa 10 snin.
- - Arisept: meta l-marda tkun dahlet il-gewwa, ikun ta' xejn li persuna tiehu din il-medicina; tiswa hafna u tkun qed tittiehed ghal xejn.
- - Qed isiru xi esperimenti bil-Vitamina E u C fost persuni ta' sebghin sena biex jaraw jekk ibighedx l-izvilupp tad-dimensja.
- - Tajjeb li wiehed juza Food Thickener mal-ikel tal-marid sabiex ma jixraqx.
- - Id-dipressjoni tista' tikkuraha b'terapiji differenti u s-sintomi tad-dimenzja jkunu riversibbli.
- - Fil-bicca l-kbira tad-dimenzji differenti bhal Alzheimer's, ma tezistix kura specifika.
PREVENZJONI
- - Stil ta' hajja attiva fejn wiehed ma joqghodx maqtugh min-nies ghal zmien twil.
- - Hajja interjuri spiritwali.
- - Kuntatt man-nies u hbiberiji.
- - L-uzu haj tal-mohh.
- - Ezercizzju fiziku, ikel bnin, dieta. Kolesterol baxx, piz normali, u pressa tad-demm baxxa jnaqqsu r-riskju tad-dimenzja.
- - Imhabba lejn u ghajnuna lejn haddiehor.
DIETA
- - Il-hxuna zejda (obezità) izzid ir-riskju ta' dimenzja.
- - Il-hut inaqqas ir-riskju tal-Alzheimer's.
- - Haxix u nuts jghinu.
- - L-alkohol ghandu jittiehed b'moderazzjoni.

ID-DIPRESSJONI
Kull persuna f'xi punt jew ie h or fil- h ajja ghandha mnejn iggarrab cirkostanzi li jgaghluha thossha depressed.
Statistika
Ricerka ricenti turi li bejn wiehed u iehor 7 minn kull 100 persuna fid-dinja tbati minn dipressjoni wara l-età ta' 18-il sena, f'xi waqt jew iehor f'hajjitha.
- 1 minn kull 33 tfal u 1 minn kull 8 adoloxxenti jsofru minn dipressjoni klinika. Is-suwicidju huwa t-tielet l-aktar kawza komuni ta' mwiet forst dawk ta' bejn l-10 u 24 sena.
- Il-maggoranza ta' dawk li nghataw dijanjosi ta' major depression, jircievu din id-dijanjosi meta jkunu bejn qrib it-30 u fin-nofs tat'tletinijiet.
- Madwar sitt miljun persuna tkun effettwata minn dipressjoni f'età avvanzata izda 10% biss jircievu kura.
- Ghal kull ragel li jizviluppa dipressjoni, hemm zewg nisa li jsofru minnha minkejja r-razza u mezzi finanzjarji.
- Aktar minn nofs dawk li qed jiehdu hsieb membru tal-familja anzjan jizviluppaw sintomi ta' dipressjoni.
• 28 fil-mija tan-nisa li jwelldu fid-dinja taqbadhom post-partum depression .
- Sas-sena 2020, id-dipressjoni se tkun it-tieni marda l-aktar komuni fid-dinja.
X'mhijiex id-dipressjoni? I d-dipressjoni la hija dwejjaq u lanqas stress. Hija tbatija.
Tipi ta' dipressjoni :
-
1. Tahlita ta' ansjetà u dipressjoni (anxiety depressive illness).
-
2. Mild Depression. Il-persuna tista' tfittex forom differenti ta' ghajnuna li mhux bilfors tinvolvi medicina.
-
3. Major Depression: stat qawwi fejn ikun hemm certu tibdil fil-mohh.
-
4. Depression mhux tremenda (chronic dystamia) li ddum ghal hafna xhur jew snin u tghajji l bnidem jekk ma jiehux ilkura.
-
5. Bi-polar affective disorder: il-persuna jkollha waqtiet fejn tkun u thossha normali jew kuntenta zzejjed u zmien iehor fejn thossha depressed. Dan ic-ciklu jirrepeti ruhu.
Kawzi ta' dipressjoni :
Jezistu numru ta' fatturi li jzidu c-cans li wiehed jimrad b'dipressjoni. Dawn il-fatturi jinkludu:
-
i. Esperjenzi fit-tfulija bhal telfa ta' xi hadd ghaziz; stress kbir; u abbuz.
-
ii. Stress kbir meta wiehed ikun adult . Inxebbhu persuna ma' fallakka li fuqha jitghabba piz fuq iehor sa ma fl-ahhar il-fallakka tixpakka. Per ezempju persuna li bla waqfien tiehu hsieb membru tal-familja. Kulhadd ghandu l-breaking point tieghu. Hafn'aktar minn carers ohra, persuni li regolarment u ghal zmien twil, bla waqfien, jiehdu hsieb membru tal-familja b'mard mentali huma fir-riskju li jimirdu bid-dipressjoni.
-
iii. Telfiet fil-hajja bhal ma hu impieg, amputation, mewt ta' xi hadd ghaziz.
-
iv. Il-karattru : aspetti tal-karattru li nirtuh jew twelidna bih.
-
v. Il-genetika/ fatturi bijologici.
-
vi. Reactive depression: meta t-trigger ikun wiehed estern.
-
vii. Endogenous depression: fejn il-fatturi huma interniu genetici
X'inhi d-dipressjoni
Id-dipressjoni ma tigrix wehedha. Ghandu mnejntkun ikkawzata minn zewg fatturi bhal xi haga li tigri li ggaghlek issofri flimkien mal-predizpozizzjoni ghall-marda (genetika). Il-mohh hu maghmul minn mitt elf miljun nervituri li bejniethom juzaw mal-100 sustanza. Il-mohh ta' min hu marid b'dipressjoni jkun naqaslu xi sustanzi bhas-Serotonin, id-Dopamine u l- N oradrenaline . Din il-marda tikkawza tbatija u tibdil fil-mohh. Hija forma ta' disprament. Persuni li qed jghixu fi stress kontinwu se jaslu f'punt fejn il-mohh se jkun effettwat ..
Dawk il-persuni li wirtu mard mentali ghandhom mnejn (a) ikunu effettwati mill-istaguni (tibdil tad-dawl). Ghawdex hemm min jghid jaqbdu dipressjoni fi zmien il-ful. Bl-Ingliz hawn jinghad: as mad as a March hare. (b) taqbadhom ghax ikunu taht stress; jew (c) taqbadhom ghal xejn b'xejn.
Xi jhossu persuni li jsofru mill-marda tad-dipressjoni? SINTOMI
-
1. Il-hsus : persuna tghid li thossha qalbha sewda; li taghli ghax sebahjew tibza' ghax gej il-lejl; li mhi kapaci ghal xejn; li qed tara swidija; li l-passat kien kollu dizastru; li ma tara xejn tajjeb fiha nnifisha; li hi zball tan-natura;
-
2. Anhidonia : jigifieri meta persuna titlef il-kapacità li tiehu gost.
-
3. Thoss sens ta' htija ghal dak li qed jigrilha.
-
4. Meta persuna titlef kull tama fil-futur (hopelessness).
-
5. Sintomi fizici bhal zieda fil-piz jew nuqqas fil-piz; ugiegh; tbati biex tipporga jew ikollha dijarea ; ma tinhasilx;
6. Irqad zejjed jew nieqes. Fl-irqad zejjed, il-persuna thossha qed tikseb wens; thossha qed tbati anqas; thoss li b'hekk se jirnexxilha ma tahsibx. Madanakollu xorta tibqa' ghajjiena.
7. Sintomi ohra: Ma tohrogx mill-kamra tas-sodda u mid-dar; tintappa t-twieqi halli ma jidholx dawl ghax tippreferi d-dlam; ma tkun trid titkellem ma' hadd; ma tkunx trid tara lil hadd; tirrifjuta li thalli niex izuruha, anke familjari; ma tkunx trid tmur ghall-ghajnuna.
Il-kura, kemm iddum biex tahdem, u l-fejqan
Hu hsieb il-kawza. Jekk depressed minhabba separazzjoni, relazzjoni li qed tiqras, mur ghall-ghajnuna ghal dan ukoll sabiex tkun qed tattakka l-kawza minn gheruqha. Illum il-gurnata l-maggoranza tal-GPs u Psikjatri jittrattaw id-dipressjoni MHUX b'KALMANTI izda b'zieda fis-sustanzi tal-mohh, (anti depressants) dejjem skont il-htiega tal-persuna. Dan sabiex in-nervituri jergghu jigu f'taghhom.
• Iridu jghaddu xi 3 gimghat biex tibda tahdem il-kura.
• Iridu jghaddu xi 6 gimghat sa ma tara effetti tajba .
Il-maggoranza jfiqu.
Dawk il-persuni li taqbadhom dipressjoni darbtejn f'hames snin jew tliet darbiet f'hajjithom ikollhom jibqghu jiehdu l-kura ghal ghomorhom.
Min iwaqqaf il-medicina qabel 6 xhur, se jkollu 80% cans li jerga' jaqa' f'dipressjoni.
ECT : Forma ohra ta' kura effettiva li tintuza rarament imma li tintuza b'effetti pozittivi hafna hija l-ECT (Electro Convulsive Therapy). Din il-magna tistimula l-mohh b'electrodes ghal 10 sekondi taht il-loppju. Tinghata darbtejn f'gimgha u l-persuna trid tkun sajma minhabba l-loppju. Wara l-10 sekondi, il-persuna tistejqer, tiehu belgha kafe wara saghtejn u tmur lura d-dar. Din il-kura hi effettiva hafna u persuna jirnexxilu jghaddilha aktar maljr Iserrahha hafna. M'hemmx periklu ta' brain damage permanenti u l-memorja li tintilef terga lura wara jum jew tnejn. L-ECT gieli tintuza ghall-post-partum psychosis meta jkun hemm periklu li l-mara tikkommetti suwicidju jew/ u toqtol lit-tarbija. L-ECT mhix babaw li wiehed ghandu jibza minnha.
Id-dipressjoni u s-suwicidju : Dipressjoni qawwija tista' twassal persuna biex tikkommetti suwicidju. Biex persuna tasal biex tnehhi hajjitha b'idejha, min jaf kemm tkun qed tbati. Il-kawza hija s-sofferenza interna li wiehed ihoss minhabba l-marda nnifisha. 10% ta' min ibati minn dipressjoni u ta' min ibati minn skizofrenija jikkommettu suwicidju. Ghandna nhobbuhom u naccettaw il-fatt.
X'ghandna naghmlu?
Hafna drabi il-familjari ma japprezzawx bizzejjed it-tbatija li thoss persuna depressed.
Irridu nigdmu lsienna u nirrealizzaw li kummenti bhal U ejja qum minn hemm, ejja, isa...., jew ja ghazzien, qum u inhasel, se tibqa rieqed? huma kummenti li jghaddsu lil dak li jkun aktar 'l isfel.
Ghandna bzonn li:
-
• Naccettaw li l-persuna tbati minn dipressjoni;
-
• Nifhmu li l-persuna ma tiflahx. Nempatizzaw maghha u nuruha li qed nifhmu li hi tassew ma tiflahx u li l-marda mhix qed thalliha tiffunzjona sew.
-
• Nuruha bic-car li ahna qeghdin hemm ghalija ghal dak kollu li jkollha bzonn.
-
• Nghinuha b'mod gentili biex taccetta li tmur ghall-ghajnuna u nghinuha taghmel appuntament u nakkumpanjawha jekk tridna.
-
• Inhegguha tohloq ftit struttura fil-hajja billi taghmel pjan zghir, pjan maniggabbli, sabiex taghmel xi haga fid-dar. Naghmlu dan b'ghozza, imhabba u l-kelma t-tajba.
-
• Nibqa' nittama u nheggeg it-tama. Niftakar li l-maggoranza jigu f'taghhom mill-gdid. Min ma jigix tajjeb, jista' jigi ferm ahjar. Kompli fittex l-ghajnuna.
-
• Mur kellem professjonista u ibqa' mur kull meta jkollok bzonn bi dritt b'obbligu ghall-persuna marida. Ma jimpurtax jekk tfittex second opinion .
