When a person is depressed, in addition to feeling unhappy and sad, he may also blame himself, shame, disgust or anger, fear and so on.
A depressed person will experience the following symptoms, including: feeling very sad, everything seems hopeless, everything is wrong, "I am useless", lack of energy, slow action, burnout, slow behavior, anorexia or overeating, restless sleep or insomnia.
Only when the thoughts, emotions and behaviors of depression are too persistent or seriously out of proportion to the cause will it be diagnosed as clinical depression. Manic depression, or bipolar depression, is also a kind of depression. Patients will swing back and forth between the two extremes of depression and mania, sometimes depressed and lazy, and sometimes excited and active.
Almost everyone will feel depressed at some point in their lives, although some people seem to be born with depression or have a tendency to be depressed very early. Depression caused by specific events in life is sometimes called reflex depression. Depression without identifiable external causes is called endogenous depression. This difference is not always effective, because some people have recurrent depression. People have different reactions to events.
According to statistics, depression is more common in women, especially women aged 35 to 45. With the increase of age, men are more prone to depression. About 10% people have suffered from depression at least once in their lives, regardless of their economic status or social class.
For example, Winston Churchill was deeply troubled by depression. He called depression his black dog and often accompanied him. Other celebrities suffering from recurrent depression include johann wolfgang von goethe, hans christian andersen, robert schumann, lev tolstoy, Vincent Van Gogh and hugo wolf.
No one is born immune to depression, especially anxiety. Although we think that some people are more prone to depression than others, we may be at risk of depression after certain ages and events, and we can still take precautions from the following contents:
1, lighting. Seasonal depression may occur when the days are shorter and the light time is shorter. We have circadian rhythms and biological clocks in our bodies. The biological clock is actually regulated by the sun. Our brain secretes a hormone called melatonin, which can help us sleep, and at the same time, it will produce negative will and negative emotions. In autumn, the sunshine decreases, and the intensity of sunlight is not as strong as that in summer, so this hormone will be secreted too much. When the sunshine gradually decreases, hormones will increase greatly. Increased hormones will inhibit the secretion of thyroid and adrenaline, and cells in the human body will not be as diligent as when the sun is shining and the weather is clear. People with seasonal depression usually find that they feel much better when the sunshine increases in spring. Studies have pointed out that when serotonin decreases, people with depression will get sick, so some drugs will be used to increase serotonin in the brain. In fact, sunlight can also promote the secretion of serotonin. The exposure of natural light will have a great influence on our mood. In order to avoid the depression tendency caused by insufficient light, we can try to stay outdoors when the light is good, especially during the day in autumn or winter. In addition, too bright light at night is also a wrong message to the creatures in our bodies. It is easy to cause problems such as difficulty in falling asleep. People with depression are often accompanied by sleep disorders such as insomnia. We should create a good sleeping environment at night, including limiting the light intensity at night. For example, don't watch TV, use computers or play mobile phones after 9 pm, and gradually dim the lights at night, especially in the bedroom. You can open the curtains a little before going to bed to let the morning light in. When we wake up in the morning, natural light shines on us. When we first see the morning light, our biological clocks will be reset to the same time as the real world.
2. Exercise. Proper exercise can gently stimulate the human body and produce a natural mechanism of pleasure. People who exercise regularly can not only enjoy healthy body, high attention and keen experience of happiness in life, but also be good at finding fun from small things in life, including three meals a day, hobbies and even smiling at people passing by. Proper exercise makes people more and more satisfied. And the "depression" that we mentioned at the beginning makes us feel depressed and sad, lacking joy and joy. Exercise is one of the natural treatments for depression. Some severely depressed visitors will think that depression is hindering their exercise, and they need to wait until their mood improves before they can exercise. In fact, you don't have to wait for regular exercise every day Choose the simplest one and start exercising. For example, walk for 45 minutes three times a week. After half a year, we will have great changes. When we are in a good mood on weekdays, choosing golf and jogging can also effectively exercise the brain function and help us manage our emotions.
3. Diet. Some people with depression will overeat or anorexia, or both. Due to some living habits, young women tend to suffer from depression more and more. One of the reasons may be malnutrition caused by excessive slimming. Young female friends talk about the color change of "meat" in the process of slimming, because they know that meat has more fat content and choose a diet based on vegetables. On weekdays, the influence of diet on depression is actually not the meat itself, but whether the diet increases our immune function and the brain's ability to manage emotions. Moderate consumption of meat can steal tryptophan, a synthetic substance of serotonin, to delay the reduction of serotonin. Eating a proper amount of fat through diet also helps to increase immune function. We can help people who take antioxidants through fruits and vegetables to prevent brain aging. If you can supplement the right amount of meat, you can make your brain work better, so that you won't trigger your own emotional mines and cause depression and other problems when certain events happen in your life.
Reasonable and healthy sleep, exercise and diet can help us save energy so as to mobilize our useful talents in case of accidents. In this way, we won't let our emotions get out of control.

It should be that I am only addicted to one thing, but I can't get an explanation. However, I am depressed and refreshed. I don't want to talk or communicate with others. I can't sleep well. The whole person is like decadence.
When you are never happy, when you are not interested in anything, when you feel that the world is against you everywhere, when you feel that life is meaningless, when you are full of negative thoughts.
I was depressed this time last year. Examined in major hospitals, the final result is severe depression plus bipolar disorder.
That's what I thought at the time.
That time was the most boring time in my life.
That time was the time when I never wanted to get involved again.
Even that time was the one I never wanted to think of again.
Fortunately, I finally came out by myself.
People feel depressed because they can't produce useful value to society, family, friends and colleagues and can't be recognized. Plus a naturally introverted personality. I don't want to open my heart. After a long time, you will naturally be depressed! And when I feel depressed, when there is no one around me, I am very lonely.
How can I live this life well?
But I still have the rest of my life, and I really don't know how to live it.
I don't know how, because it's too bitter and unsatisfactory now.
When I think about this question, I am full of confusion and confusion.
I really can't accompany my children when I take a job.
If I don't work, I can't give her a better life.
Contradictions, distress and unwillingness in life,
Perhaps, life is in constant contradiction, giving up and choosing.
Really can't choose to live.
Before, I heard a book saying that life is to let nature take its course and let it go.
However, the law of human survival is the survival of the fittest.
What you want to let nature take its course is just the result that you can't choose.
If you let nature take its course, your life will only get worse.
You have to do this, I can, I can.
You can choose and let nature take its course.
