Three Mental Illnesses That Make Housework Difficult (1) Introduction When you have a mental illness, everyday housework often becomes difficult. Things you used to do as a matter of course, such as cleaning, preparing meals, and bathing, become difficult, making life hard and potentially worsening the illness itself. So, what are the main mental illnesses that actually make housework difficult? This time, we will cover three representative illnesses that make housework difficult, their background, and possible countermeasures when you are unable to do housework. (2) Difficulties with Housework and Their Impact First, "difficulties with housework" refers to a state where various daily household tasks become difficult to perform as desired. Specifically, this can manifest as cluttered rooms due to inability to tidy up, difficulty in cooking and selecting ingredients leading to insufficient meals, and inability to plan bathing routines resulting in neglect of personal grooming. Inability to maintain personal grooming casts a shadow over social life. These difficulties with housework are often caused by mental illness. The underlying cause is impaired brain function. When brain function declines due to mental illness, tasks that were normally performed unconsciously become difficult. Here, we should focus on the characteristics of housework. Housework is something that needs to be repeated daily, and while it may seem simple, it actually requires the sequential execution of multiple steps. This process, which can be performed unconsciously when functioning well, becomes difficult when brain function is impaired. The impact is far-reaching. When daily tasks become impossible and the burden increases, lifestyle habits become disrupted. This can lead to poor health due to inability to eat, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships due to neglecting personal grooming. Furthermore, this disruption of lifestyle can worsen the condition, sometimes even making medication difficult, leading to a vicious cycle of worsening symptoms. (3) Three Mental Illnesses That Make Housework Impairable ① Depression The first is depression. Depression is a brain-level disorder characterized by noticeable feelings of sadness, primarily attributed to a serotonin deficiency. It's important to note that it's not simply a matter of mood, but a dysfunction of the brain's function itself. Symptoms are diverse. In addition to "mental symptoms" such as sadness, decreased motivation, and anxiety, "physical symptoms" such as insomnia, changes in appetite, nausea, and dizziness also occur. Furthermore, a decline in concentration and thinking ability—a state of "not being able to think clearly"—is also characteristic. This combination of decreased motivation and brain dysfunction makes housework difficult. One type to be aware of is "smiling depression." This type of depression manifests as appearing cheerful outside the home but experiencing distress at home. They may be able to handle work but struggle drastically with household chores. The underlying factors involve three elements: a decline in cognitive ability leading to difficulty in planning, decreased motivation preventing the first step, and fatigue preventing commencement or causing interruptions due to exhaustion. The foundation of treatment is rest, allowing the mind and body to recover. This is followed by pharmacotherapy with antidepressants to improve cognitive function at the brain level, and psychotherapy involving gradual rehabilitation to re-evaluate and improve household management. ② Schizophrenia The second is schizophrenia. It is well known for its severe acute symptoms such as auditory hallucinations and delusions, and is believed to be caused by an excessive effect of the brain chemical dopamine. The cornerstone of treatment is pharmacotherapy, which is essential for ...
