Three typical symptoms
1, depression-always unhappy, sad all day, even pessimistic and desperate. Due to different degrees of depression, some people are mild, while others are sad, pessimistic and desperate. Most people with depression feel heavy, boring, unhappy and even miserable.
2, slow thinking-I feel that my brain is not good, I can't remember things, I can't concentrate, my mind is empty, I have difficulty thinking, especially I am not interested in anything, and nothing can make me feel happy and happy.
3, exercise inhibition-always feel tired, lazy, inactive, walking slowly, unwilling to communicate with people, too lazy to talk. Mental energy is seriously reduced, so you may not be able to eat and take care of yourself.
Other common symptoms
In addition to the above typical symptoms, many patients also have other common symptoms of depression, such as depression, anxiety, decreased interest, lack of energy, pessimism, low self-evaluation, etc.
1. Rhythm change of depressive mood-The above typical symptoms are particularly obvious in the morning and relieved in the afternoon or evening, so you are more likely to suffer from depression.
2. Losing interest is one of the common symptoms of patients with depression. Lose enthusiasm and fun for past life and work, and feel dull about everything. Disdain past hobbies, often live alone behind closed doors, alienate relatives and friends, and often say that they are "unhappy".
3. Low self-evaluation: Patients often underestimate their own abilities, treat their present, past and future with a critical, negative and negative attitude, and have a strong sense of self-blame, guilt, uselessness, worthlessness and helplessness. In serious cases, they may feel guilty and suspicious.
4. Some patients have two-way performance. Sometimes it is characterized by depression, difficulty in concentration, memory loss, mental retardation and slow action, but sometimes it is characterized by anxiety, uneasiness, tension and agitation.
5. 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.
6. Physical or biological symptoms: patients with depression often have loss of appetite, and patients do not think about tea or rice or eat tasteless, often accompanied by weight loss; Sleep disorders, mostly difficulty falling asleep; Sexual dysfunction, male may be impotent, and female patients lack sexual attraction.
This is a big problem. I, a doctor who treats depression, don't know how to explain it clearly. Depression is the world's second largest disease that plagues human health promulgated by the World Health Organization. The manifestations of depression must not be single, but complex changes. Since we talk about depression, we should follow WHO's international diagnostic criteria for diseases, and we can't define depression with our own so-called "experience" as soon as we start. In fact, I have said this question more than once before. The core symptoms of depression include persistent emotional depression, and other typical symptoms include: weight loss, sleep disorder, loss of interest, social withdrawal, morning weight loss, low self-evaluation, self-guilt, negative pessimism and so on. Most people can say it, since you are asking what are the manifestations of depression? Let me talk about the uncommon symptoms of depression to give you a more comprehensive understanding.
Can depression be irritable and lose your temper? Many people think that depression will not be impatient, will not lose temper, at least not often. Even some professional doctors hold this view, but in fact, it is clearly written in Shen Yucun Psychiatry by Academician Lu Lin footballer that patients with depression can be in a state of mental agitation, and the most common manifestations of mental agitation are irritability and temper tantrums. So in fact, depression can completely show impatience and temper tantrums. Don't call a depressed person manic just because he has lost his temper several times, right?
In fact, the mental agitation of patients with depression often appears in patients with moderate or even severe depressive episodes, which has a lot to do with their deep negative emotions of pessimism and despair.
Can depression have hallucinations and delusions? Many people say that there will be no hallucinations and delusions in depression, and schizophrenia is the kind of hallucinations and delusions. But in fact, psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions can completely appear in patients with depression, which is also confirmed by our diagnostic classification. For example, in the current ICD- 10 international diagnostic criteria, major depressive episodes are classified into major depressive episodes with psychotic symptoms and major depressive episodes without psychotic symptoms.
In reality, I have also treated many patients with severe depression who have obvious hallucinations. For example, at the beginning of this year, a 22-year-old girl was ill for ten years to see a doctor. She told me that she could hear a voice chatting with herself when she was very young. Sometimes this voice will kill her, and sometimes it will ask her why she is still alive. It can be said that this terrible imperative auditory hallucination is not common in schizophrenics. How terrible is it to appear on a 22-year-old girl? I asked the girl how she survived. She couldn't help but cut the inside of her arm with a knife, so the girl had more than 40 tiny scars on her arm.
The hallucinations or delusions of patients with depression have a common feature, that is, pointing to themselves, which is related to their negative despair and will never be generalized.
Will people with depression say that they are depressed? I have seen people say more than once that people with depression will not say that they are depressed, and it is not depression that says that they are depressed. However, depression is an emotional and psychological disorder, and patients can feel their own depression completely, but many patients are unwilling to seek treatment on their own initiative. But in China, this is not the patient's own reason, but the misunderstanding and prejudice of the society to depression, which limits their chances of seeking medical treatment and normal treatment to a very poor degree.
Not long ago, in a group of pictures about depression in People's Daily, about 80% of patients with depression did not receive standardized treatment, and the phenomenon of insufficient drug dosage, insufficient course of treatment, frequent dressing change and unauthorized withdrawal seriously restricted the systematic treatment of patients.
There are actually many manifestations of depression, because depression is a very complicated mental illness after all, but no matter how it is manifested, one thing will not change, at least for two weeks. Only patients who meet this condition can be diagnosed as depression, otherwise, it is not depression.
I hope my introduction can improve your impression of depression. If you still don't understand anything, you can leave a message in the comments section and I will help you answer it. Life is really bitter. To live is to face the existing and unpredictable difficulties and the gap between expectation and reality. Everyone will be depressed and depressed, but we should not indulge ourselves in this negative mentality. Positive action, overcoming difficulties and changing reality are the right way. Everyone's journey to the world is the result of countless accidents. I don't know why people waste their precious lives on depression.
Nature is ruthless, the fittest survive, the strong strive for self-improvement, and the weak perish. People can be depressed to suicide, why not fight to death? Only hard work can give them a chance. I don't know why people make themselves weak and dying.
All people who are immersed in depression can be sure that no one around him or her can set an example by his or her words and deeds, conveying sunshine, justice and kindness.
The symptoms of depression are mainly seen from the following five characteristics: First, whether the diet is normal. People with early depression are unwilling to eat, which is rooted in psychological pressure and preconceptions. At this time, everyone will say: eating is not active, and there is something wrong with thinking.
Second, whether you get enough sleep. Generally speaking, when people are depressed, they can't sleep at night and toss and turn in bed, but they can't sleep. At this point, the people next to you will complain: are you turning over sesame cakes?
Third, do you like sports? If he suffers from depression, he will appear extremely lazy, listless and depressed all day. At this time, family or friends will say: Why are you like a frosted eggplant?
Fourth, whether the interest rate has dropped significantly. People who are in a bad mood will be uninterested, even indifferent, absent-minded, and even fidgety about things they were interested in before. At this time, people who care about him will say: Who is bothering you again?
Fifth, there is no singing and laughing. If a person doesn't sing or laugh for a long time, then he must be depressed. And the heart is more painful, like to be alone, and more exclusive to the people around you.
On the contrary, if you look at the way he wolfs down and his eyes are shining, you will definitely feel that his mind is extraordinarily open;
If a person lies down and sleeps at night, he can naturally wake up and stretch after waking up, which is called "tired and happy", you will envy him very much, even envy him as a "heartless" person.
If a person likes to go out for sports (activities) in his spare time, he prefers to sweat himself out, or even shout "come again next time", you will be infected by his passion.
If a person devotes himself wholeheartedly to his hobby, you will feel that he is a person who loves life, has pursuit and has taste.
Don't you think it's especially good to hum and smile when you go to work and go out to clean up the housework?
So don't think much, you will have a general understanding of your emotions or my own emotions from these five aspects.
Of course, this performance is not a flash in the pan, but lasts for a long time.
My friend, please use these "standards" to compare yourself with your friends and family, and you will understand the truth.
Early physiological symptoms 1, neurasthenia symptoms, depression, often intractable insomnia and other symptoms, early awakening or sleep disorders. About 70% to 80% of patients with depression are accompanied by sleep disorders. Patients usually have no difficulty in falling asleep, but wake up a few hours later, so they are called insomnia in the morning, waking up halfway and insomnia at the end, and they are depressed after waking up. Anxiety patients have difficulty falling asleep and have many nightmares. A few patients with depression sleep too much, which is called "narcolepsy depression". Recommended reading: Depression is the second biggest killer after cancer. In addition, forgetfulness, fatigue, inattention, ignorance, loneliness and other symptoms are also common manifestations of early mild depression. These symptoms are often diagnosed as neurasthenia in clinic.
2. Inexplicable physical discomfort is the main feature of some physical symptoms and some early symptoms of atypical depression in patients with depression. This part of patients with depression are often accompanied by a variety of physical symptoms, such as headache, back pain, limb pain, low back pain and so on. Some cases also have unexplained abdominal distension, diarrhea, anorexia, nausea and stomach discomfort, or inexplicable palpitation and palpitation, as well as discomfort involving various systems of the whole body.
3, lack of pleasure, loss of interest in daily life, lack of fun for all kinds of entertainment or pleasant things. Lighter people try to avoid social activities; In severe cases, people live alone behind closed doors, alienate relatives and friends and stop socializing.
4. Loss of sexual interest With the development of depressive symptoms, all physical and psychological pleasures are lost. I often have poor appetite, often become emaciated, and have various problems in sleep. Gradually, the patient will become weak and tired. The sexual life of people with depression will also be affected. Male erectile dysfunction and female frigidity are common phenomena.
Early psychological symptoms 1, lack of self-confidence, feeling that life is not fun. The most typical symptoms of depression include not consulting yourself, feeling that life is clear and dull, and some patients feel that life is boring, depressed all day, losing confidence in themselves and life, and even refusing to socialize. It is easy to shed tears, and even suicidal thoughts and behaviors appear repeatedly; Otherwise, when something happens, you will often be irritable, sensitive, suspicious and stubborn, and always feel unhappy.
2. Have suicidal and world-weary thoughts. When depressed patients have depressive symptoms again, they will have suicidal and world-weary thoughts. These patients will feel depressed at first, feel too tired to live, and begin to be pessimistic. Although normal people will have this kind of emotion, people with depression will exist for a long time. Serious world-weariness and suicidal tendency are the fundamental reasons why patients with major depression choose to end their lives. Therefore, we must pay attention to the control of early depression.
3, low mood This is the most important feature of patients with depression. The lighter is in a bad mood, distressed and sad, and sighs all day long; Serious people are depressed, pessimistic, desperate and suicidal.
4. Cognitive bias is mainly reflected in self-blame and self-blame for no reason, exaggerating one's own shortcomings and narrowing one's own advantages, showing a kind of cognitive illogicality and unreality. People with depression always evaluate themselves negatively.
The role of psychotherapy in the treatment of depression I hope patients and their families will pay more attention to the early manifestations of depression. For patients and their families who have not yet developed into severe depression, don't take any chances. Treatment and prevention should be done as soon as possible, and don't wait until the final tragedy happens to regret it. Depression is completely reversible at the initial stage, and can be completely cured at the physiological level, without taking medication for life. However, because the psychological factors of depression account for a large proportion, and the departments corresponding to going to the hospital are also psychology or psychiatry, the proportion of psychotherapy in the treatment of clinical depression is also increasing. The role of psychotherapy is mainly reflected in correcting your cognition, changing your mentality and preventing recurrence. The initial effect is very obvious, and it also has a good effect on drug addiction during detoxification and detoxification.
People with depression will always be trapped in their own brain stories. When people are depressed, they will project their consciousness into the past. People with depression are always immersed in the grief of the past and addicted to stories made up by their minds. In the story, they are victims, and they have become innocent victims because of others' wrong treatment and previous injuries. We must get rid of grievances and sorrows, unless the wrongdoer repents and turns over a new leaf, or time can be turned back so that everything that should not happen does not happen.
People with depression will spontaneously become mental prisoners. People with depression have a lot of evidence to prove their incompetence. If they find some advantages of themselves, they will strongly deny it and play with themselves as useless people. Of course, this role-playing is unconscious. They don't think they are acting, but they deeply think they are incompetent, so they can only stay in this cage and spontaneously become prisoners of their own thoughts, unable to face the world outside the cage.
Unity is the way to pull yourself back from the spiritual world. In teacher Chen Fanfan's consciousness therapy, a very important ability is mentioned, which is called the first step of unification: to improve consciousness, mind and body, you must pull back your wasted consciousness, pull back your consciousness from the past where your waist disappeared, put it in the present, and reopen your feeling, touch, taste, smell, vision and hearing. Unity is a key to change from the time world to the present world. It is also the second level of self-healing. Unity is to fully mobilize the senses with consciousness to feel the feelings of the moment, so that your sense of smell, your sense of hearing, your sense of touch and your vision become acute. Even when drinking tea, it's like finding a treasure, feeling the residual temperature of the cup in your hand, experiencing the fragrance of your cheeks, and enjoying this cup of tea to the extreme. Birds in the wind, clouds in the air, stars at night and blooming flowers all bring you new joy. In fact, at this moment, you are quiet, you are compassionate, you are happy, you are the noumenon of love, you are out of your mind, you are integrated with the present, that is, the return of your heart. This is the true face of life. At this moment, you will know what happened to the Buddha under the bodhi tree and what happened to Jesus crucified.
Step 2: Realize the unity of knowledge and action. If we want all this to start to change, we must first learn to accept it. Only by accepting our real existence completely unconditionally and without judgment can we make changes beyond our existing way of existence. Only when we feel safe, can we relax our vigilance, blend in with the ontology of the heart and hand over control.
Emotional pain often precedes physical pain. If we feel and experience emotional pain, it will always send us a signal until we accept and value it. It will reveal where we have stagnated in the past and the wounds we need to heal. It will show how dishonest we are to others, or how others are dishonest to us. If we pay attention to this signal and respond positively in time, the physical pain will gradually disappear. This is acceptance. This is acceptance. Through awareness, the ego will surrender to the noumenon and achieve the unity of knowledge and action. Through awareness, you will know where you are stuck and where the wound needs to be healed.
Step 3: Become the watcher of the unity of heaven and man. Only by living in the present and becoming an observer can you stop the meaningless projection of your mind. Only in this way can you continue to watch from the heart. Once you can become a viewer, you will surpass the worldly wisdom, because you are free while watching. There will be no compulsion, depression and anxiety now, because the current pure consciousness world is a world of feeling, depression and anxiety, and they do not belong to this world!
This is a great discovery. It's like a person lying in a dark, dirty and smelly room for a long time, with broken walls and many stains on his eyes. Then he got up and opened a window. Now he can see the bright sun in the sky. He won't stay in a dirty, smelly and dark room for a while, he will rush out into the vast sky.
-The above materials are selected from the consciousness therapy in Curing Fan Xin.
There are many symptoms of depression, which can be described as varied. The main symptoms are as follows.
First, depression.
People are very negative, pessimistic about problems, and easy to fall into a dead end. The mood is very bad, sometimes I cry and feel sad for no reason. This is the common performance of most patients with depression.
But there is a kind of depression called smile depression, which is hidden and difficult to detect. Patients smile in front, cry silently behind their backs, feel great pressure inside, and feel lonely and helpless.
Second, all kinds of pain, but no organ lesions were found.
It may be headache, chest pain, abdominal pain, low back pain and leg pain, but after all the tests, I just can't find the reason. At this time, we should be careful whether there is the possibility of depression.
Third, insomnia.
People with depression have a symptom of insomnia, and they can't sleep in a bad mood, which in turn leads to a worse mood and a vicious circle.
Fourth, lose interest in various activities.
This is a characteristic of patients with depression. They are not interested in anything and are unwilling to participate in their favorite activities. Unwilling to communicate with others, unwilling to go out, and so on.
Fifth, there are various other symptoms, such as constipation, impotence, language barriers and so on.
Generally, self-rating depression scale (SDS scale) can be used first, which is available online and can be found by search. If you feel that you have signs of depression, or relatives and friends have signs of depression, you can test it with this scale first.
Symptoms of depression
1. He's in a bad mood every day, always with a dark face and a sad face, just like people all over the world owe him, just like people all over the world belong to him.
2. I don't want to meet people, and I don't want to go to any busy places to play.
I don't want to go out to work and feel at ease like a parasite.
4. Some depressed patients have suicidal tendency.
5. It's unsanitary and untidy.
6. Losing love and self-esteem, indifference, contempt and abuse of others can keep a straight face.
7. Suspicious, always worried that others will murder him, as if his life and death are related to everyone, as if there are too many profitable places in him.
I'm glad that you are willing to ask for help for yourself. When you ask this question, it indicates that you will get more and more help and get rid of the current painful state faster.
Sad things can make us feel depressed, but it is also possible that we don't feel anything. Depression is not just unhappiness, sadness is just one of the manifestations. It is a feeling of extreme emptiness, and people are always in a state of tension. I don't know if everyone feels the same way.
We can't be sure that the lifestyle of depressed patients is not very good, but most people with irregular lifestyles will have an increased chance of suffering from depression. Therefore, improving depression can start with changing lifestyle. Here, I give you some advice from three aspects: work habits, diet and exercise, hoping to help you.
Work and rest habits 1, turn off the mobile phone computer one hour before going to bed and enter the sleep stage.
You must go to bed before eleven o'clock.
3. Make sure to sleep for another seven hours.
It is best to take a lunch break for about half an hour at noon.
The food under the food can help you eat the depressed mood. Do you want to try it when you are depressed?
Spinach not only contains a lot of iron, but also contains folic acid needed by human body. Studies have found that folic acid deficiency can lead to mental illness, including depression and Alzheimer's disease. This is because the lack of folic acid will lead to the decrease of serotonin in the brain, which will lead to depression.
Research shows that people living by the sea all over the world are generally happier and healthier. Not only is the sea fresh, but the most important thing is that they regard fish as a "staple food". This may be because fatty acids in fish oil can block nerve conduction pathway, increase serotonin secretion and balance the function of norepinephrine system.
Pumpkin can create a good mood, because it is rich in vitamin B6 and iron, both of which can help glycogen stored in the body to be converted into glucose, which is the only fuel for brain tissue.
Bananas contain a substance called alkaloids, which can boost the spirit and confidence. Bananas are also the main sources of tryptophan and vitamin B6, which can help the brain to produce serotonin and reduce depression.
Studies have found that eating complex carbohydrate foods, such as whole wheat bread, standard flour, steamed bread, soda biscuits and so on. It can improve mood and has antidepressant effect. This may be related to these foods being rich in B vitamins and minerals.
Grapefruit is not only rich in fragrance, but also can purify complicated thoughts and refresh your mind. As for the large amount of vitamin C contained in grapefruit, it can not only maintain the concentration of red blood cells, enhance the body's resistance, but also resist stress and make people feel happy.
sports
Exercise can help people reduce stress, enhance heart and lung function, enhance metabolism, relax mood, relieve depression, relieve stress and anxiety, make people energetic, and improve self-confidence and self-esteem.
Scientific research has confirmed that the elimination of endorphins secreted by the brain during running is a biochemical substance similar to morphine and a natural analgesic, which can give people euphoria and has a unique effect on relieving psychological pressure. It is appropriate to choose the running time at night, with the speed of 120 steps/minute, at least three times a week, and each time lasts 15 minutes.
Skipping rope is one of the auxiliary exercise therapies recommended by us to treat depression. Simple and easy to learn, suitable for fitness exercise in low temperature season. Generally, when the weather is bad and it is inconvenient to run, you can choose skipping rope, which is especially suitable for women.
Dancing fitness dance or aerobics is a rhythmic exercise, which can effectively eliminate pathological excitement of nervous system, improve sleep and overcome inattention caused by neurasthenia. Choose this kind of project, you can participate in it every day, or you can do it at least three times a week for 20-40 minutes each time. In this way, in dynamic music, we can improve the cardiopulmonary function, improve the oxygen absorption effect, and make the body stretch to the maximum extent.
I hope these can help you. Good luck!
