MENTAL ILLNESS IN A FAMILY: How to Care for a Loved One.

Caring for a loved one with a mental illness can be challenging but supportive care can make a significant difference. Eng. Andrew Begumisa, Dr. Evas Atwiine And Rachael Mwine have discussed some ways to care for a loved one with a mental illness:
1. *Educate yourself*: Learn about their condition, symptoms, and treatment options.
2. *Encourage professional help*: Support them in seeking professional help and offer to accompany them to appointments.
3. *Listen without judgment*: Create a safe space for open conversations and avoid criticizing or judging.
4. *Validate their feelings*: Acknowledge their emotions and offer empathy.
5. *Support their treatment plan*: Help them remember medication schedules and therapy appointments.
6. *Encourage self-care*: Support activities that bring them joy and promote relaxation.
7. *Take care of yourself*: Don't forget your own physical and emotional well-being.
8. *Set boundaries*: Establish clear limits to maintain your own mental health.
9. *Offer practical help*: Assist with daily tasks or errands if needed.
10. *Show love and support*: Remind them that you're there to support their recovery.
Remember, caring for a loved one with a mental illness requires patience, understanding, and support. By being a supportive and informed caregiver, you can make a significant difference in their life. #dailyvlog #family #mentalhealth #relationship #marriage #motivation #couplegoals #trending #youtube

[@tusiimejeanerous8911]

Andrew thanks for sharing. What a journey?😢

[@editormbabazi8792]

Andrew! Many memories come to mind listening to you share, but I didn't understand what you were going through; coz I was little...but what a testimony! I just love how you lift up the name of Jesus in all this. And it's true..Jesus can change your story! May He do it for someone listening, going through the same. Praise God for His unfailing love! God speed big brother!

[@martharinebiseko1457]

Thanx to our guest. Thanx to our hosts . Indeed this testimony is uplifting

[@kabuyecharityraphael4744]

This story is one of the most inspiring and life changing have encountered read the novel. Mr.Musinguzi is an epitome of hope and Kindness in my life.Wish the Begumisa family the best and may the Good Lord keep them blessed.

[@uzenionjuki3066]

Thank you for the show, extremely educative, Dr. Evas is such a professional who is passionate about what she does. Her communication is extremely simple, that allows an ordinary person like me to understand. I think the issue discussed is so timely because there is a lot of mental health issues in today's challenging life. Thank you Andrew for candidly sharing your experience, but I must also say that supportive networks is a centerpiece in dealing with MH, and supportive networks is very hard to come by, all people do is just stigmatize others all the way

[@busingyepriscilla]

I can’t thank you enough for this, may this reach as many people 💯thank you thank you

[@stephenwatiti5576]

Greatly blessed. God comforts us in our troubles so that we may comfort others with the comfort we get.

[@saphiraainembabazi5976]

Wow. Thank you so much Andrew for sharing I can really relate with your story and I think introverts are mainly easily affected in such situations though silently

[@hopetugumisirize9250]

[@realitycheckicfc]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nabaggalaritah4467]

the long awaited interview, i can totally relate to Andrew's story. we respond to traumatic events differently, what weighs one down may not do so to another. I think introverts battle more with mental health silently and A students.

[@demaxil1]

Inspiring video. How can we access your book.

[@ckks0nyoutube]

We need a show on toxic masculinity especially the aspects embedded in our culture, that teach a wrong sense of exuding strength, some people are even advertising their training sessions on this toxic masculinity for younger boys on their social media handles maybe they will listen in and adapt their programs accordingly

Thnx for sharing but he has not told us more about his wife, and how her reaction has been for these past years with this illness coz i know at one point she could probably have felt like she was tired .and another thing has God blessed you with children or we are waiting on him? Thnx
