Etc.

Now after discussing the prevention of chronic respiratory disease I will give some
treatments for chronic respiratory disease

TREATMENT FOR CHRONIC RESPIRATORY

DISEASE

Surgery is reserved for severe COPD or when other treatments have failed,
which is more likely when you have a form of severe emphysema.

One type of surgery is called bullectomy. During this procedure, surgeons

remove large, abnormal air spaces (bullae) from the lungs.
 Another is lung volume reduction surgery, which removes damaged upper
lung tissue. Lung volume reduction surgery can be effective at improving
breathing, but few patients undergo this major, somewhat risky procedure.

Lung transplantation is an option in some cases. Lung transplantation can

effectively cure COPD, but has its many risks.

There is a less invasive method of improving the efficiency of airflow in people

with severe emphysema called end bronchial valves (EBV), which are one-
way valves that divert inspired air to healthy lungs and away from non-
functioning, damaged lungs.

Lifestyle changes

Certain lifestyle changes may also help alleviate your symptoms or provide
relief.

 If you smoke, quit. Your doctor can recommend appropriate products or

support services.

 Whenever possible, avoid secondhand smoke and chemical fumes.

 Get the nutrition your body needs. Work with your doctor or dietician to
create a healthy eating plan.

 Talk to your doctor about how much exercise is safe for you.

PREVENTION AND TREATMENT FOR MENTAL

ILLNESS/DISEASE

Prevention

 Pay attention to warning signs. Work with your doctor or therapist to learn

what might trigger your symptoms. Make a plan so that you know what to do if
symptoms return. Contact your doctor or therapist if you notice any changes in
symptoms or how you feel. Consider involving family members or friends to watch
for warning signs.

 Get routine medical care. Don't neglect checkups or skip visits to your primary
care provider, especially if you aren't feeling well. You may have a new health
problem that needs to be treated, or you may be experiencing side effects of
medication.

 Get help when you need it. Mental health conditions can be harder to treat if
you wait until symptoms get bad. Long-term maintenance treatment also may help
prevent a relapse of symptoms.

 Take good care of yourself. Sufficient sleep, healthy eating and regular

physical activity are important. Try to maintain a regular schedule. Talk to your
primary care provider if you have trouble sleeping or if you have questions about
diet and physical activity
 Treatment

Your treatment depends on the type of mental illness you have, its severity and what
works best for you. In many cases, a combination of treatments works best.

If you have a mild mental illness with well-controlled symptoms, treatment from your
primary care provider may be sufficient. However, often a team approach is appropriate
to make sure all your psychiatric, medical and social needs are met. This is especially
important for severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia.

Your treatment team

Your treatment team may include your:

 Family or primary care doctor

 Nurse practitioner

 Physician assistant

 Psychiatrist, a medical doctor who diagnoses and treats mental illnesses

 Psychotherapist, such as a psychologist or a licensed counselor

 Pharmacist

 Social worker

 Family members

Medications

Although psychiatric medications don't cure mental illness, they can often significantly
improve symptoms. Psychiatric medications can also help make other treatments, such
as psychotherapy, more effective. The best medications for you will depend on your
particular situation and how your body responds to the medication.

Some of the most commonly used classes of prescription psychiatric medications

include:
  Antidepressants. Antidepressants are used to treat depression, anxiety and
sometimes other conditions. They can help improve symptoms such as sadness,
hopelessness, lack of energy, difficulty concentrating and lack of interest in
activities. Antidepressants are not addictive and do not cause dependency.

 Anti-anxiety medications. These drugs are used to treat anxiety disorders,

such as generalized anxiety disorder or panic disorder. They may also help reduce
agitation and insomnia. Long-term anti-anxiety drugs typically are antidepressants
that also work for anxiety. Fast-acting anti-anxiety drugs help with short-term relief,
but they also have the potential to cause dependency, so ideally they'd be used
short term.

 Mood-stabilizing medications. Mood stabilizers are most commonly used to

treat bipolar disorders, which involves alternating episodes of mania and
depression. Sometimes mood stabilizers are used with antidepressants to treat
depression.

 Antipsychotic medications. Antipsychotic drugs are typically used to treat

psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia. Antipsychotic medications may also be
used to treat bipolar disorders or used with antidepressants to treat depression.

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy, also called talk therapy, involves talking about your condition and
related issues with a mental health professional. During psychotherapy, you learn about
your condition and your moods, feelings, thoughts and behavior. With the insights and
knowledge, you gain, you can learn coping and stress management skills.

There are many types of psychotherapy, each with its own approach to improving your
mental well-being. Psychotherapy often can be successfully completed in a few months,
but in some cases, long-term treatment may be needed. It can take place one-on-one,
in a group or with family members.

When choosing a therapist, you should feel comfortable and be confident that he or she
is capable of listening and hearing what you have to say. Also, it's important that your
therapist understands the life journey that has helped shape who you are and how you
live in the world.

Brain-stimulation treatments
Brain-stimulation treatments are sometimes used for depression and other mental
health disorders. They're generally reserved for situations in which medications and
psychotherapy haven't worked. They include electroconvulsive therapy, repetitive
transcranial magnetic stimulation, deep brain stimulation and vagus nerve stimulation.

Make sure you understand all the risks and benefits of any recommended treatment.

Hospital and residential treatment programs

Sometimes mental illness becomes so severe that you need care in a psychiatric
hospital. This is generally recommended when you can't care for yourself properly or
when you're in immediate danger of harming yourself or someone else.

Options include 24-hour inpatient care, partial or day hospitalization, or residential

treatment, which offers a temporary supportive place to live. Another option may be
intensive outpatient treatment.

Substance misuse treatment

Problems with substance use commonly occur along with mental illness. Often it
interferes with treatment and worsens mental illness. If you can't stop using drugs or
alcohol on your own, you need treatment. Talk to your doctor about treatment options.

Participating in your own care

Working together, you and your primary care provider or mental health professional can
decide which treatment may be best, depending on your symptoms and their severity,
your personal preferences, medication side effects, and other factors. In some cases, a
mental illness may be so severe that a doctor or loved one may need to guide your care
until you're well enough to participate in decision-making.
