Keep a sweet professional smile at work, smiling like a flower; After work, he keeps a straight face, ignores his family and loses his temper easily. In recent years, an occupational disease called "smile depression" is spreading to white-collar workers.

Ms. Wang works in a four-star hotel in Wuhan. She always keeps an affable smile when she works. But in the past six months, she always quarreled with her husband when she got home, and she was depressed and had other physical problems. A few days ago, she was diagnosed with smile depression in the mental health center of Hubei Provincial People's Hospital.

Ms. Wang said that even if you are depressed again, you should keep energetic at work. Every day when she comes home from work, she is always depressed and unwilling to talk.

According to Chen Zhenhua, an associate professor at the center, this kind of depression is very common in outpatient clinics, especially in the service industry and administrative staff. For many white-collar workers, "smiling at people" is their professional accomplishment and the best way to close the distance with customers. However, their smiles are often not from the heart, but out of work, etiquette and other needs. Over time, there will be symptoms such as depression, depression, and even psychological distortion or abnormality, which will cause endocrine disorders and then lead to various physiological problems.

Chen Zhenhua said that people engaged in service and administration should cultivate their interest in life and work, make them smile from the heart every time, and talk to their relatives and friends when they are in trouble. Those with mild symptoms can be relieved through various leisure activities, while those with severe symptoms should be treated as soon as possible.

The symptoms of depression can be summarized into three main symptoms: depression, slow thinking and association, and reduced movements. Other manifestations mainly include: (1) depression; (2) slow thinking association; (3) Actions, especially gestures, are reduced and slow; (4) physical symptoms; (5) Recessive depression; (6) The symptoms of depression are heavier during the day than at night.

In addition to antidepressants and drugs that regulate autonomic nerves, control and health care are also important:

1, ask for help if necessary, don't bear it silently. Step by step. 3. Break the big things into small pieces and do only one at a time. 4. Take part in more beneficial activities. 5. Pay attention to your thoughts and ideas when you are depressed. 6. Try to identify the typical concepts of depression, and pay special attention to the way you evaluate yourself and identify yourself. You should beware of the torturer inside, because it can only get you into deep trouble, but it can't help you get rid of depression. 7. Write down your idea in order to clarify it better. 8. Pay attention to find out the theme of your depression (for example, seeking identity, shame, unhappy interpersonal relationship, unrealistic ideals, perfectionism), and challenge it when you find it. 9. Challenge your ideas with rational/sympathetic thinking. The more you sympathize with yourself and give up the idea that you are bad and worthless, the more likely you are to recover from your illness. 10, challenge negative ideas and establish new behavior patterns. Be fully prepared for setbacks and failures.

One of my classmates has severe depression.

She often quarrels with her classmates and doesn't trust anyone. She always feels bullied by others. Sometimes whether the teacher is here or not, she will make a scene in class.

But her classmates are very kind to her, but she doesn't feel her illness.

Now that she is in hospital, we didn't go to see her, just don't want to make her angry again.

But I don't think medication can solve the problem.

Also encourage her emotionally. Don't let her feel lonely when she speaks.
