Autumn is a transitional stage in which yang disappears and yin grows. When things go wrong, it is more likely to lead to depression. Sun Yanping, deputy director of the Department of Psychology of 254 Hospital, reminded that autumn depression is not necessarily depression. The cause of autumn depression is 1. Sunshine is no longer sufficient: the secretion of thyroid hormone and adrenaline controlled by sunlight will decrease, and the concentration in the blood will also decrease. Their decrease reduces the excitability of cells, and people will feel depressed, always feel tired and show depression. Countermeasures: Strengthening sunshine and light is the first way to be happy. In a room with an area of 18 square meters, the normal activity of the brain requires no less than 250 watts of illumination. Use halogen lamps and fluorescent lamps in the workplace and living room-their light is close to the sun. 2. Working indoors for too long: People who work indoors all the year round, especially those who are weak, seldom take part in physical exercise and are usually sensitive to cold, are more prone to depression than the average person. Countermeasures: When you are in a bad mood, getting off work early, taking time out for a walk, proper physical exercise and chatting with friends can all relieve your psychological depression. You can clean your room, listen to music and go shopping on weekends. Make friends at ordinary times. Friends are "good doctors". People who keep in touch with friends are often in a much better mental state than lonely people. Small measures to prevent depression ■ After getting up: stretching. Studies by physiologists show that leisurely stretching can make energy pour in, promote metabolism, and even increase the secretion of endorphins (hormones that make people happy). After getting up, stretch upward, so that you can stretch your arm to the sky with all your strength, grab your left elbow with your right hand, slowly stretch your whole body to the right until your muscles feel stretched, and then change your left hand. ■ Vent dissatisfaction: Qi Quan stands in front of the mirror, swings his fist, punches left and right, and imagines attacking all the objects that make you unhappy today. Psychologists point out that this method can improve self-evaluation very effectively. Clinicians believe that this kind of venting can enhance the vitality of cardiovascular and brain cells and improve the coordination ability of the body. ■ Aroma drives away depression. Our bodies are very sensitive to smells. It is best to use the fragrance of lemon, orange and grapefruit to help you improve your working ability and reduce fatigue. You can take a bath with orange essential oil, buy an aromatherapy stove or directly apply the essential oil to the necklace pendant, and smell it when you have time. ■ Enhance vitality: Adjust the diet in time when the weather gets cold, such as vitamin B and vitamin C deficiency, which will not only affect the cold resistance, but also affect the brain function and mood. Therefore, after autumn, we should pay attention to the supplement of various nutrients and eat more fruits, vegetables, soybeans, chocolates and so on. Banana is called "happy food" because it is rich in a compound amine called "good mood". In addition, foods rich in potassium, magnesium and iron, such as pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds, can improve the mood of patients with depression. Lotus root, lotus seed, wheat, licorice, red dates, longan and other foods have the effect of nourishing the heart and calming the nerves, which is very helpful to suppress anxiety and depression. Fish, eggs, bean products, walnuts, milk and other foods with brain-nourishing and blood-activating effects are also conducive to regulating emotions. Appropriately increasing some diets rich in phenylethylamine and caffeine, such as green tea, coffee and chocolate, can also improve mood. Pay attention to children's depression, such as losing temper, irritability, depression and crying, fatigue, inattention, etc., which are all manifestations of children's depression in autumn, and may also have atypical manifestations such as increased appetite, weight gain, increased sleep time, hyperactivity and aggressive behavior. Countermeasures: 1. Strengthen sunshine and light. When it is cloudy or there is no sunshine in the morning and evening, try to turn on all the lighting equipment in the house to make the room bright and bright. Children's activities in this well-lit condition can mobilize their emotions, enhance their excitement and reduce or eliminate their depression. 2. On cloudy days, children should increase their sugar intake to improve their blood sugar level, increase their vitality and relieve their depression, except for children with diabetes. 3. In this season, children can be properly supplemented with vitamin B complex and oryzanol. , you can adjust your mental mood.
