This is a research result just published in British Psychiatry in April this year. Researchers at Seoul National University School of Medicine analyzed the data of 183 independent studies and found that underweight people do not have a higher happiness index than others, but the risk of mental disorders is higher than that of ordinary people, and it is more obvious among women.
In fact, there are many people around us who have experienced similar unexpected tragedies.
Last September, Xiaohui (a pseudonym), a 20-year-old girl, went to Hangzhou from other places to study interior design, which is a very practical art.
Perhaps because of studying art, m-girls, who lives in the same dormitory, is very strict about the pursuit of beauty, especially about her figure, which sounds incredible to outsiders. These four girls are busy skipping rope and doing exercises after class every day. They hardly eat greasy food and rarely touch carbohydrates. They only eat some fruits and vegetables boiled in water every day.
This "devil-like" weight loss is really effective. Xiaohui's height is 163cm, and her weight is close to 1 10 kg when she entered school. She looks plump and well-proportioned, but after losing weight for one semester, her weight dropped below 100 Jin, and she lost a lot of weight, which made several girls feel very fulfilled.
But she soon found that something was wrong with her. She should be happy to lose weight so successfully, but Xiaohui is not happy. She is depressed all day and doesn't want to leave the dormitory. Sometimes she sits alone and cries. Recently, Xiaohui was taken to a hospital in Hangzhou by her mother to see the department of emotional disorders, and the diagnosis has reached the standard of depression. Doctors believe that after excluding other possible factors, the most suspicious pathogenic factor is excessive weight loss.
