Basic common sense
All kinds of antidepressants, physical therapy and psychotherapy can treat depression. For some patients, antidepressants are more effective; For other patients, physical therapy or psychotherapy is more effective; For most patients, drug therapy and physical therapy may be the most effective. Especially for patients with severe depression, physical therapy can be used to relieve the symptoms of depression relatively quickly, while Baihe Qingnao Shen Jing can be used as the medicine to achieve satisfactory therapeutic effect. After depression, antidepressants should be used first, and after taking them for a period of time, psychological treatment should be carried out with psychologists. In the process of psychotherapy, we should still insist on taking medicine. Generally speaking, the first onset of depression after diagnosis can be cured by taking medicine for more than 5 years. In recent years, the emergence of physical therapy has improved the success rate of depression. It is a high-tech imported therapeutic instrument with no side effects and dependence. The therapeutic instrument adopts transcranial micro-current stimulation therapy to treat depression. It stimulates the brain through low-intensity micro-current, changes the abnormal brain waves of patients, and urges the brain to secrete a series of neurotransmitters and hormones closely related to depression, anxiety, insomnia and other diseases, thus realizing the treatment of these diseases. Prevent common sense patients from showing inferiority, slow thinking, world-weariness and even suicide. The biggest harm to patients and their families is suicide. Early detection and early treatment can usually stop the development of diseases and avoid tragedies. However, in real life, due to people's lack of understanding of depression and other diseases, people think that patients' inferiority, sighing, lack of vitality and depression in life are all ideological problems, and treatment is not considered at all. What's more, they blame, which leads to the loss of opportunities and even suicide. Therefore, the key to this disease is to understand depression and treat it in time. At present, there are images, the effect is exact and the curative effect is ideal. At present, most of the effective antidepressants have side effects such as dry mouth and gastrointestinal reaction, and their effects are slow. However, people with depression have complained about a variety of physical discomfort, so they may feel worse in the early stage of taking the medicine. At this time, we must insist on treatment. With the passage of time, the side effects of drugs in most patients gradually decreased, and the condition was controlled ideally. Both patients and doctors should pay attention to this. Depression is a kind of brain disease, which has its own occurrence and development law. For many years, the study of depression and antidepressants has been an important research field of contemporary psychiatry. Although the etiology and pathophysiology of depression are still unclear, it does not hinder the effective treatment of this disease.
Therapeutic concept
Depression seems to be accompanied by many physical symptoms, such as palpitation, chest tightness, epigastric discomfort, shortness of breath, sweating, emaciation, sleep disorder, fatigue or loss of energy, loss of appetite, sexual dysfunction, weight loss, constipation, general pain and discomfort. From a medical point of view, it seems that all these symptoms can find a suitable prescription, and patients do take a lot of medicine, and some even become doctors after a long illness. However, after long-term medication, it seems that the condition has not improved. On the contrary, some of them have gradually become dependent on drugs, and even worse, they have damaged their health. The main reason for this result is that the treatment and elimination of physical symptoms are exaggerated, while the psychological factor leading to depression-the potential defective cognitive style of patients-is ignored. This deep-rooted negative psychological barrier will often affect the emergence, maintenance and development of depression. However, drug treatment can not fundamentally change the patient's condition. The correct treatment concept of depression, finding the psychological root of depression and guiding patients to change their negative cognitive patterns can really help them relieve their pain.
The process and method of psychotherapy
The process of psychotherapy for depression is generally divided into the following five steps: (1) Main problems: the most concerned, troubled, painful and need to be improved by help seekers. Usually, only after many meetings, the helper gradually builds trust in the therapist, and it is possible to gradually expose the problem. (2) Attention should be paid to the connection between problems in time: the past, present and future information of help seekers should be comprehensively considered. (3) Determination of treatment goal: When the evaluation data of the client is determined, the therapist will negotiate the treatment goal with the client. (4) the implementation of the treatment goal. (5) The end, evaluation and follow-up of psychotherapy: When visitors are convinced that they have been able to solve their own problems independently and the expected treatment goals have been achieved, they should start to discuss the end of therapy. Ending treatment is a gradual process. Psychotherapy for depression: Depression patients' sense of powerlessness, despair and even suicidal tendency are all due to their negative views on themselves, their experiences and their future. A series of negative emotions and thoughts they have produced have brought uncontrollable conflicts to their psychology. They live in their own dysfunctional judgments and cannot extricate themselves. Sudden stress events in life have accelerated and consolidated their cognitive model, and it seems that they can't get out in a vicious circle. Psychological treatment of depression can use various psychological methods, such as psychoanalysis, cognitive therapy, psychological remodeling therapy, suggestion therapy and so on. Guide patients to change their cognition, rebuild their minds, resolve the pessimism and disappointment caused by bad cognition, and arouse patients' positive beliefs about themselves. This process is a journey for patients to explore their own souls under the guidance of psychological counselors, and no medicine can replace it.
Self-treatment
Do what you are most interested in. If your career is unsuccessful, try to improve your skills and start with what you are most interested in; Or look for other opportunities for success. Avoid taking certain drugs. Oral contraceptives, barbiturates, cortisone, sulfonamides and reserpine can cause depression and should be avoided as much as possible. In addition, eating more foods rich in vitamin B and amino acids, such as cereals, fish, green vegetables and eggs, is also conducive to getting rid of depression. 1, set a practical goal. This goal should be feasible, that is to say, both external conditions and their own conditions should be met. The initial plan is easier to implement and requires less time and effort. If this process takes too much time and energy, if you are not interested in anything, you are more likely to give up halfway. If you are ready to act enthusiastically as soon as you think of a certain goal, you don't have to look down. You are not the object that this article hopes to help. If you live in an inland province, don't plan to enter DaHai You yet: If you have only swam in the swimming pool, don't plan to cross the Qiongzhou Strait. These goals are too ambitious for you at present. Now, let's assume that your goal is to learn to swim this summer. Is this goal feasible? Yes, because several of my friends learned to swim in one summer, and they are not sports geniuses; I know there is a swimming pool not far from home, which provides swimming lessons; I have money to go to swimming lessons; I have time this summer. 2. Define your goal accurately. Only when the goal is clear can we judge whether we have achieved it. Otherwise, you can always say to yourself, "I failed." To regain your confidence in life, you need a successful experience. Therefore, in the process of implementing this kind of behavioral therapy, you should make sure that you will succeed again and again and convince yourself that you can do what you want. So, please define your success criteria accurately. Learn to swim this summer. When does this summer mean? June to September 2004. What kind of swimming? What is learning in breaststroke? You can swim 100 meters without any auxiliary tools. Well, on September 30th, you can check whether your goal has been achieved according to these standards. 3. Divide your action plan into small enough steps to ensure that your plan can be completed. Make a detailed plan for your goals, and the goals to be achieved in each step of the plan are small enough to ensure that you can achieve them. For example, your first goal may be to determine the time of swimming class. You may scoff at this goal and think it's too easy. But for some people with depression, it is not easy to think of it and do it. Remember, when determining each sub-goal, make sure that you can accomplish it. Every time you accomplish a goal, you win, and every success will gradually increase your confidence. If you set too big a sub-goal, you are bound to fail. Failure again and again will hurt your confidence. Perhaps, after several failures, you will completely lose interest and confidence in this plan, give up halfway and return to the state of doing nothing before. So for friends with severe depression, try to ensure the feasibility of one thing, and then do it in small stages. When completing each small stage, try not to think about the next steps. Devote yourself wholeheartedly to the small goal in front of you, cheer for yourself after completion, and believe that you will be able to complete the overall goal! 4. Define success by your own behavior. In other words, don't involve other people's behavior in the goal. If your goal is to associate with people, be careful not to make such a goal: to have coffee with Xiao Li after work. The mistake of this goal is that whether this goal can be achieved depends on whether Xiao Li accepts your invitation. You can control your own behavior, but you can't control the behavior of others. So your goal violates the previous principle, and you are not sure whether this goal can be achieved. According to the principle of ensuring success, you can modify your goal like this: invite Xiao Li to have coffee with you after work. You will succeed as long as you make an invitation. As for Xiao Li's reaction, it doesn't matter. Invitation skills are another problem. Don't add emotional factors to your goals. In this plan, what matters is doing, not how you feel in the process of doing it. You can control your behavior, but you can't directly control your emotions. In a depressed state, it is difficult for you to get a happy feeling from any activity. Emotion will be affected by behavior, but this effect is not immediate and takes some time. Therefore, if you must be happy for success, then you are likely to fail. 6. Get in touch with something positive. For example, listening to radical music, such as Lasdeji March. Watch inspiring Endeavour movies. Read more passionate books, such as Mo 8 1, a novel about stutterers as journalists. Muller 8 1, The Old Man and the Sea and Love Life are praised as "three books that cheer the spirit of China people." It is a completely different treatment from traditional drug therapy and electroconvulsive therapy. It stimulates the brain through low-intensity micro-current, changes the abnormal brain waves of patients, and urges the brain to secrete a series of neurotransmitters and hormones closely related to anxiety, depression, insomnia and other diseases, thus realizing the treatment of these diseases. Substitution therapy can be used for depression that traditional western medicine can't treat, including a series of means from diet and exercise to social environment and lifestyle. Including acupuncture, intention guidance, yoga, hypnosis, herbs, massage, relaxation therapy, spice massage therapy, spinal acupressure therapy and biofeedback therapy. Substitution therapy alone can only be effective for mild depression, but not for severe depression. Experimental therapy is usually not carried out by doctors, and its safety and effectiveness have not been proved. Transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy (TMS)-Because the nerve conduction in the brain needs the change of current, transcranial magnetic stimulation takes advantage of this feature, and sends a strong but short-term magnetic pulse directly to a specific area in the brain in a non-invasive, painless and safe way, and triggers a trace current in the neural circuit of the human brain. At present, no side effects have been found in the treatment of depression, and the prospect is broad. Reflexive therapy is a technique in which practitioners exert pressure on the fixed parts of patients' hands and feet. Reflexologists believe that the human body has the function of self-repair, and the nerves of hands and feet are connected with other parts of the body. By stimulating some parts of hands and feet, diseases can be treated by using the principle of reflection. Exercise therapy Different forms of exercise can help people reduce stress, relax, relieve depression, make you full of energy, and increase your sense of balance and flexibility. Generally speaking, exercise therapy is safe, effective and simple, but you must consult your doctor before starting a new exercise plan.
