What should I do to relieve frequent depression in spring? Are you in a state of mild self-regulation, or are you in a state of moderate or severe need of medication? Let's take a look at how the external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine regulates depression.

Depression ranges from something unpleasant to being unhappy for several days. Send a circle of friends and write "I feel a little depressed recently";

Long-term insomnia, anxiety, nervousness, poor appetite, low self-evaluation, lack of interest, and even serious suicide-when you go to the hospital for examination, you are often diagnosed with severe depression.

The scope of depression is so wide, how to evaluate the degree of depression of yourself or your relatives and friends?

How to judge the degree of depression?

At the slightest level, I am occasionally in a bad mood. After chatting with friends or exercising and sweating, the haze in my heart is swept away.

In this case, sleep and appetite are usually normal, and there will be no insomnia and loss of appetite for more than three consecutive days, and no special intervention is needed.

When you are slightly depressed, you will suffer from insomnia for several weeks, which will affect your work and study status the next day, but your appetite is OK, or even if you don't feel like eating, you can eat rationally and on time, and your weight is basically normal and you are not thin.

At this stage, people can often find the reasons for their insomnia, anxiety and depression, such as too much work pressure, fear of making mistakes, lovelorn, and worrying about the health of their families.

This is also the largest group of people with depression.

Moderate depression, in addition to persistent insomnia, is often accompanied by loss of appetite, loss of libido, weight loss or gain, persistent depression and negative self-evaluation;

Slow thinking, poor memory and difficulty in concentration; Avoid socializing, the mood begins to be unstable, and it is easy to suddenly be irritable or suddenly depressed. After losing your temper, people will feel very tired and can't guarantee normal study and work. (More than 5 for more than two weeks)

At this point, people around him can perceive that his physical and mental state has become abnormal. He went to the hospital for examination and was often diagnosed with mild to moderate depression.

In severe depression, in addition to the various manifestations of moderate depression, the most prominent change is the emergence of self-mutilation, suicide and other thoughts and behaviors.

Some parents will notice scars on their children's blood vessels, or knife marks on the back of their hands and arms, or find that their children's diaries express negative emotions and want to commit suicide to liberate themselves. At this time, you must seek medical treatment as soon as possible to avoid irreparable misfortune.

Pathogens stagnate in the heart and affect the mood.

I have accumulated a lot of experience in conditioning mild to moderate depression with moxibustion in health-keeping practice. The core idea is to relieve mood and improve depression by regulating the physiological state of the body.

Some friends use this method of regulating body and mind to improve depression to help their families treat depression, which has faster effect and more stable follow-up effect.

Introduce two cases, let everyone feel that depression is a physiological state, you can find signals from the body, and you can improve depression after conditioning.

The first example is a girl in her twenties who was diagnosed with depression when she was in junior high school.

At that time, she refused to take medicine and went home from school and locked herself in her room. When she can't sleep at night, she will sneak into her mother's room and sleep with her mother to reassure her.

Once, she found that her mother secretly wiped her tears after communicating with the doctor because of her depression. She suddenly realized that her state made her mother very sad and caused her a burden.

In order to make her mother not sad, she said that she learned to pretend to be normal, pretend to be happy, and even pretend to improve her academic performance, and finally graduated from a famous university.

But the gloomy depression did not disappear because of her disguise.

She is still afraid of dealing with strangers. She couldn't help digging her fingernails, which made her bleed. She suffers from insomnia easily and cries inexplicably. Then she forced herself to watch all kinds of funny movies and variety shows, and kept wiping her tears while watching the shows.

When listening to her talk about her own experience, I seem to have watched the movie A Beautiful Mind again, and I can't help but sigh that people's acquired consciousness can be so powerful.

I helped her to have an abdominal examination. I put my finger near the Juque point in my heart. It felt tight and pressed hard.

My words made her "relax and try to breathe in the strength of my fingers". She also subconsciously adjusted her breath and sucked the strength of her hands into her stomach. Gradually her face became painful and she shed tears.

My fingers are always pressed statically near the Juque point, gradually softening the hard heart, and her breathing gradually becomes long and deep.

When I felt a heat flow under my finger, I knew I had pressed it, so I paused to let her have a good rest.

A few days later, she gave me feedback. She felt very sad after pressing the happy mouth. She couldn't help crying. She cried for more than two hours in one breath, and she cried out all the depression for more than ten years.

Then I went straight to sleep, sleeping from eight o'clock in the evening until eight o'clock the next morning. After getting up, I feel very tired and want to have a good rest for a few days.

In the next few days, she found that her eating changed, and she began to like to chew slowly. She could also detect the smell of food and pick her fingers less often.

Knowing that she was sleepy at night, the improved sleep for several days greatly eased her fatigue.

She smiled and said that her present state is like the title of another movie, a ray of hope behind the dark clouds, and she can feel the sunshine behind the dark clouds.

Especially moxibustion at Zhongshan point, the symptoms of depression change one after another.

This is an example of improving depression by opening the heart socket blocked by blood stasis. Let's look at another example, a middle-aged woman, whose depression improved after moxibustion.

In her early thirties, she said that when she got used to anything unhappy, she kept it in her heart and couldn't channel her emotions. When she is alone, she is often unhappy, often unhappy.

She can also clearly feel that there is a big stone pressing on Qimen Cave, and there seems to be a force pulling her to pay attention near the cave. When touching Qimen point with her hand, she could still feel a hard stone as big as a fist.

It's often like holding a piece of ice near Xinshu point on your back, and your whole heart is ice, so it's hard to be happy.

I suggest that she continue to moxibustion Zhongshan point and don't change it easily.

She gave me feedback that the moxa stick was sucked tightly when it was halfway up the mountain. It feels like an iceberg suddenly saw the sun, and the ice in my heart lit up because of the warmth of Ai. It's so comfortable

For the first time, she moxibustion Zhongshan point for more than five hours in one breath. Then, as long as she has time, she will postpone all kinds of social activities and moxibustion at Zhongshan point at home.

Before and after moxibustion at Zhongshan point, more than 400 moxa sticks have been accumulated. During the period, I experienced the severe pain at Menmen point during moxibustion, the cold sweat in the calf gallbladder, coughing up thick phlegm, and my mood was extremely irritable. After being agitated, I was refreshed and stopped wandering.

She said that every time she got sick, her body would become more transparent, and now she feels clear in Wan Li and cloudless in Wan Li.

And with the opening of the knot, her eyes on the world have become gentle, and people around her say that she has become loving.

After listening to these two cases, I believe you can understand that depression in the eyes of Chinese medicine is a pathological state in which pathogenic factors are buried in some parts of the body, blocking qi and blood and meridians, thus affecting the mind and mood.

Therefore, as long as we find the body signals and adjust the body abnormalities, it is possible to significantly improve depression and return to normal life.
