According to statistics, there are currently 50 million patients with depression in China. Depression is sometimes a serious disease, which will cost people their lives. Some well-known stars, such as Leslie Cheung, Kimi and Chen Lin, committed suicide due to depression. Civil servants, teachers, doctors and other professionals all committed suicide because of depression. Therefore, we should attach great importance to the prevention and treatment of depression.
Depression has several characteristics. One is depression, feeling that the world is lifeless. Second, lack of interest and boredom in any activity; Third, it seriously affects social functions, has a great negative impact on life, study and work, and even some people commit suicide. Some friends want to get rid of depression after they get it. How do they get rid of it?
If you suspect that you have depression, you can make a self-rating depression scale, and the results are mild, moderate and severe. You should go to the hospital for psychiatric examination in time. Note that hospitals should choose regular hospitals, preferably public hospitals. There are many swindlers in society, as well as medical swindlers and medical staff. You can't just rely on the information searched online to find a hospital. After being diagnosed with depression by the hospital, you have to take medicine for more than one year.
Of course, while taking medicine, it is best to do psychological intervention, that is, psychological counseling. If you can afford it, psychological counseling is necessary. If your economic conditions do not allow, then you can learn more about psychology and learn about psychological adjustment. Drug therapy and psychological counseling at the same time are most conducive to rehabilitation. Of course, the counselor you are looking for must also be qualified and can help your counselor.
Only by maintaining an optimistic and positive mood in peacetime can a person really get rid of depression. To remain positive and optimistic, we must have a reasonable understanding. Because a person is in a bad mood, according to American psychologist Alice, it is because of unreasonable beliefs. Reasonable beliefs can make people live a positive, healthy and happy life, while wrong beliefs can cause deep emotional distress. Therefore, this reasonable belief is very important. We should arrange our daily life, work and study reasonably. Learn to cope with psychological pressure. We are under pressure in our life and work. Sometimes there is a kind of pressure, sometimes there are many kinds of pressure. We can cope with stress by making videos, recording and writing. We should also actively communicate with others, establish good interpersonal relationships and establish a good social support system. If you do these things well, then you can live, study and work normally.
If you insist on taking the medicine for more than one year, the doctor can stop taking the medicine. It is particularly important to prevent the recurrence of depression after drug withdrawal. How to prevent the recurrence of depression? The key is to improve the level of mental health, learn to cope with various psychological pressures and properly handle various problems in life. Facts have proved that depression is easy to recur only by drug treatment. It's still very troublesome after recurrence, and it takes medicine and money. By improving the level of mental health, you can achieve lifelong non-recurrence. Improving mental health is not a temporary thing, but a matter that takes several years or even a lifetime. If the mental health level is high, congratulations, your depression will never recur, and even the quality of life will surpass that of people who have never had this disease. Cui Yongyuan has done a good job in this respect, from patients with severe depression to full recovery, with no recurrence.
Depression, also known as "chilling", is a mental illness characterized by depression. Its clinical manifestations are mild, and patients have a painful experience in their hearts. People who are slightly heavier can show depression, pull a long face, sigh, inferiority and so on. Some patients are often accompanied by neurosis symptoms, such as inattention, memory loss, unresponsiveness, insomnia and dreaminess. Patients with major depression will have pessimism, despair, self-blame, hallucinations, loss of appetite, sharp weight loss, functional decline, accompanied by serious suicide attempts, and even suicidal behavior. It poses a serious threat to human health and must be paid great attention to and treated in time. Symptoms are emotional disorders: patients are in a bad mood, depressed, or anxious, irritable and uneasy; Lose interest in daily activities, lose happiness, pull a long face and worry all day; Loss of energy and constant fatigue; Think that living is meaningless. In severe cases, people feel desperate and helpless, and life is worse than death. Every day is like a year. Most patients have the idea of ending their lives. Some once said that "if it weren't for parents, wives and children, they would have died in this life." Some of them did put it into action, causing adverse consequences and cruel means. Slow thinking, low self-evaluation: patients often feel that they are slow thinking, their brains are not good, and their abilities in all aspects are reduced. They often feel guilty and blame themselves, and their self-evaluation is too low. They are dissatisfied with everything they have done, describe their past mistakes and shortcomings as heinous crimes, and even think that they deserve to die, which is the main factor leading to suicide and self-harm. Willpower: the patient's willpower is obviously inhibited, and it is difficult to associate, and his speech is reduced, his voice is low and his movements are slow. Sometimes a person is behind closed doors, indifferent to his family, unable to study and work, unable to do housework, and in serious cases, he does not speak, move, eat or drink. In recent years, in a high-pressure society, it has almost become the most popular disease of spiritual civilization, and the World Health Organization ranks it as one of the most urgent and popular diseases in the next century along with cancer. Studies by the World Health Organization and others show that three out of every 100 people suffer from depression, and there are many cases in which depression leads to physical illness or even self-destruction. Depression is a disease involving physiology, psychology, emotion and thought. It not only affects normal life, but also affects the feelings between people and their views on things. Depression is different from temporary depression. Without effective treatment, symptoms can last for weeks, months or even years. Its symptoms include: depression is not the patent of depressed and unhappy introverts. Emotional ups and downs are also the root cause of illness. People who work hard and gain popularity on weekdays are also prone to illness. Because I was sent greetings for a long time, I was too cooperative with the surrounding atmosphere, and I gradually lost myself unconsciously. According to the research of the World Health Organization, three out of every 100 people suffer from depression, and there are many cases in which depression leads to physical illness or even self-destruction. Depression is actually a very common experience in life. Occasionally, loneliness, depression or bad mood can be said to be a response to stress, and usually it will automatically return to normal in a short time. Modern people, facing the environment of ten times speed competition every day, the information that follows, the ever-changing trend, the crowded urban living space and the diversity of personal roles all make people's work pressure increase day by day; Coupled with the utilitarian indifference of interpersonal relationships, the mental load becomes vulnerable under such nervous tension. (1) Feel sad and empty. (2) Lack of interest or interest in various activities. (3) Feeling worthless or guilty. (4) Loss of appetite and weight loss. (5) Insomnia or lethargy. (6) easy to fatigue. (7) unable to concentrate. (8) Have thoughts of death or suicide. Cases of depression may not meet all the above symptoms at the same time. Reason: There are many reasons for depression, such as losing a loved one or suffering from failure. However, in many cases, brain imaging technology points out that the central nervous system, which is responsible for regulating the mood, thinking, sleep, appetite and behavior of patients with depression, cannot function normally, and the necessary neurotransmitters (chemical elements that communicate with nerve cells) are also out of balance. It is generally believed that both serotonin and norepinephrine play a key role in causing depression. Studies have shown that both chemical elements can affect a person's mood. The reason for easily feeling depressed may be caused by genes, which interact with psychological factors and external environment (for example, the loss of relatives or major changes in living conditions). Diseases such as heart disease, stroke or cancer can also cause depressive symptoms. Depression is not exclusive to any particular group, it may happen to anyone, and there may be people with mental and behavioral disorders no matter what region, country or nationality. Mental disorders can also occur at any time in the life cycle, whether men or women, rich or poor, rural or urban. The view that industrialized countries or the rich are prone to mental disorders is wrong. It is also incorrect to say that mental disorders are not easy to occur in rural life with backward pace of modernization. Diagnosis: The first step in treating depression is a general health examination. General health examination should include a review of the medical history of individuals and family members, as well as a comprehensive physical and psychological examination to determine whether language and thinking patterns are affected. Depression is a disease that is difficult to diagnose. Most patients with depression seldom seek help from doctors, because it is generally believed that depression is a personal weakness, and patients also believe that the symptoms of depression will disappear over time, or they are too helpless to ask others for help. Even if they turn to a doctor, they are usually not diagnosed with depression. Therefore, only a few patients with depression can get proper treatment. Depression is a real disease, not a weakness of personality, and will not disappear by itself. It is very important to identify depression and encourage patients to seek treatment. Negative effects: The negative effects of depression not only happen to patients, but also affect patients' family and friends. Serious may make the victim unable to live a normal life, cause obstacles to work, study, diet and sleep, and be unable to enjoy any kind of happy activities. Indeed, depression can make people feel weak. According to the records, nearly 12% patients feel powerless. On the other hand, depression will also increase the economic burden of individuals, families or the whole community. Some economic burdens are obvious and can be calculated, while others are incalculable. The economic burden that can be estimated includes the demand for health and social services, unemployment, reduced productivity, the impact on family members and caregivers, different degrees of crime, public safety risks and the negative impact of suicide. Relationship between depression and other diseases: In addition to some physical diseases, such as stroke and cancer, there are also some psychological diseases that can be complicated with depression, such as generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD). Early diagnosis and treatment of patients with other diseases will be very helpful to the recovery of overall health. Treatment: The purpose of treatment is to relieve the symptoms of depression. Effective treatment can relieve symptoms for more than six months and restore the original normal life function. According to the treatment effect, the symptoms will be relieved to varying degrees, and some may only be partially relieved. Patients with depression will have considerable differences and therapeutic effects due to the severity of their illness. According to the needs of different patients, antidepressant therapy, psychotherapy or comprehensive therapy will have different effects. Antidepressants Antidepressants are drugs that can be purchased by prescription to relieve the symptoms of depression. Researchers estimate that about 50% ~ 60% of patients with depression can be controlled and relieved by drug treatment. Non-drug psychotherapy or "talk" therapy, including cognitive/behavioral therapy, individual therapy, psychoanalysis therapy and supportive psychotherapy, is often used to treat depression. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), another recently developed alternative therapy for ECT, can be used as effective treatments for critically ill patients. What are the early symptoms of depression? Depression is mainly manifested as depression. During this period, at least the following four symptoms appeared and lasted for more than two weeks. Suggest seeing a doctor. 1. The degree of depression varies, from mild bad mood to sadness, pessimism and despair. The patient feels heavy, life is boring, he is unhappy, he is unhappy, he is miserable, and he can't dial himself. Some patients may also be anxious, excitable and nervous. 2. Losing interest is one of the common symptoms of patients with depression. Lost the enthusiasm and fun of life and work in the past, and lost interest in anything. I don't feel happy with my family, I don't care about my past hobbies, I often live alone, alienate my relatives and friends, and avoid socializing. Patients often complain of "no feelings", "emotional numbness" and "unhappy". Energy loss, fatigue, washing, dressing and other small things in life are all difficult and difficult. Patients often use "nervous breakdown" and "frustrated ball" to describe their illness. 4. Low self-evaluation: Patients tend to belittle their abilities too much and treat their present, past and future with a critical, negative and negative attitude. This is neither good nor right. They say they are useless and their future is dark. Strong sense of self-blame, guilt, uselessness, worthlessness and helplessness. In severe cases, the concepts of self-guilt and hypochondriasis may appear. 5. The patients are obviously, persistently and generally depressed, with difficulty in concentration, memory loss, dull brain, blocked thinking and slow action, but some patients show anxiety, tension and agitation. 6. negative pessimism: I feel very painful, pessimistic and desperate. I feel that life is a burden, and it is not worth nostalgia. Seeking liberation by death will produce strong suicidal thoughts and behaviors. 7. Physical or biological symptoms: patients with depression often have biological symptoms such as loss of appetite, weight loss, sleep disorder, sexual dysfunction, day and night mood swings, which are very common, but not every case: loss of appetite and weight loss: most patients have symptoms of loss of appetite, delicious food is no longer attractive, and patients do not think about tea, rice or tasteless food, which is often accompanied by weight loss. Sexual hypofunction: Sexual hyposexuality can occur in the early stage of the disease, and impotence can occur in men, while female patients lack sexual attraction. Sleep disorder: A typical sleep disorder is waking up early, 2-3 hours earlier than usual, and then falling into a sad atmosphere. Diurnal change: the patient's mood changes day and night. Fall into depression in the morning or morning, get better in the afternoon or evening, and be able to have a short conversation and eat. The incidence of diurnal variation is about 50%. Earth-shattering exclusivity,
I want to remind you that you must go to the hospital for diagnosis before you get depression. Don't deposit this money. Psychological problems are mostly dragged out, which has a great influence on people. Obviously, it is only a minor illness, and it must be dragged into a serious and difficult problem to treat. If it is only mild, you only need to consult a professional psychological counselor. If you are moderate or severe, I personally suggest taking medicine and psychological counseling, which has the best effect.
For those who want to help themselves, I will give you the following useful rehabilitation plan, which is applicable regardless of your level.
For everyone, laziness is the biggest enemy, especially for those with depression. When a person is depressed, it seems to be the most normal thing to feel that "it is useless to do anything by yourself". I know very well why this happens, and even why people don't seek help from others, because people are ashamed to admit that they have not adapted well.
This taboo phenomenon is common at present, because our cultural background is like this. No one has ever told you that psychological problems are similar to colds and fever. What you even know is that psychological problems are equivalent to mental illness and will be discriminated against and laughed at. We have been given expectations since childhood, thinking that we should be a person who can solve problems and take care of ourselves, so once you are depressed, you will feel desperate because you have deviated from your own expectations and the expectations of society.
But what I want to tell you is that depression is not a big problem and it is not difficult to solve. But there is no panacea in the world, and I can't help you solve your problem. All I can do is tell you how to do it, and then see if you are conscious and decide to embark on the road of helping yourself recover.
In order to help you better, I summed up a set of methods that can be implemented in life, which everyone can simply do, that is: living habits and daily exercise.
① Cultivate the behavior habit of going to bed early, getting up early, eating on time, getting enough sleep, and eating three meals on time.
Take habits as the axis to reverse your bad habits, adjust your life rhythm, and prevent depression from easily destroying your normal life, thus deepening the state of depression.
Stick to a sports activity, which can be running, fitness or even doing housework.
This way can release the depressed negative energy in your heart and reduce internal friction. And it can divert your attention in time and make you jump out of your own thoughts and emotions, because emotions and thoughts are spontaneous, and will naturally disappear if you don't control them. Do nothing: be in line with your physical condition, don't go too far at once, but stick to it.
Tips to cultivate habits: do the prescribed things at the prescribed place and time. For example, 19.00- 19.30 runs in the park next to home.
Mental depression, physical function will also be affected, this period more need to take care of your body. Because this is the capital of the revolution and the basis for you to turn over books.
Leave yourself 10 minutes every day to listen to soothing light music.
Soothing light music helps us to empty ourselves and relax slowly, instead of keeping our mental state in a state of tension all the time.
(4) Reject bad living habits.
Don't overeat or sleep when you are depressed. The part that eats more will only increase the burden on the body, and the part that sleeps more will only waste your time and make you more tired and depressed. We need to master good eating habits and make rational use of time.
Isn't it a good thing that we spend more time sleeping to keep healthy? You may say that you can't do it, but what I want to say is that all you can do is think that you can't do it yourself, because when you start to think that you can't do it, you will find a good reason for your negative state, and then you will naturally feel at ease and depressed. I believe this is not what you want.
⑤ Try meditation.
Choose a quiet and safe place. You can sit on a clean floor or stool. Try to make a stool with a backrest at a 90-degree right angle. When sitting down, the back must be straight, the chest should be prominent, and form a straight line with the back of the head, and the head should be horizontal or slightly upward. Then keep sitting for two or three minutes without thinking about anything, keep your body and mind calm and clean, pay attention to your breathing, and say "exhale, inhale, exhale, inhale" repeatedly in your mind until there are no distractions in your mind and brain.
As long as you try according to these contents, you will definitely change. If you want to become fat at once, maybe you need a panacea. I can not help you with anything. Because all the methods mentioned above need a period of adaptation, you need to try with pain. The process of trying will certainly be uncomfortable, even worse than before, but I hope you can stick to it, because this discomfort is meaningful and adaptable. The longer you stick to it, the less painful it will be, I can guarantee this.
If you are depressed, you must see a doctor and take medicine. If it is particularly serious, you must be hospitalized. You can't just take antidepressant western medicine, but also take traditional Chinese medicine or proprietary Chinese medicine that regulates nerves and tonifies qi and blood, such as the western medicine Dean Xin, the proprietary Chinese medicine Shenxinning tablets, Xuefu Zhuyu oral liquid and so on. The effect is very good. The most important thing is to take it for a long time, and you will definitely get better after taking it for one year. The most important thing is to stick to it and don't stop taking the medicine without authorization, otherwise it will recur.
Speaking of depression, in fact, many people don't believe in depression from the beginning. They always think that depression and autism are diseases that only the rich get. I've always believed that.
I first heard that depression is an incurable disease. Even if it gets better, it is likely to recur again one day. Maybe this recurrence will not be better than before.
