为什么很多人都不了解抑郁症?抑郁症的表现有哪些?
In China, 40% of the annual number of suicides are patients with depression. Moreover, depression is a high-risk disease at a young age. People with high work pressure such as white-collar workers and doctors, and even students, will become vulnerable groups.
On average, one in five people suffers from depression, so it is also called mental cold. It is mainly manifested in low mood, reduced interest, pessimism, slow thinking, lack of initiative, self blame, poor diet and sleep, fear of suffering from various diseases, feeling multiple discomfort in the whole body, and serious cases may have suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
Although there are 26million people suffering from depression in China, 62% of them are not hospitalized. People with signs of depression will also have self consolation when they are not serious at first.
It's nothing to do. I let my condition be serious, and then hesitated to see a doctor, but most of them didn't see it. I'm a little embarrassed and afraid of being discussed.
Not to mention others, most people's understanding of depression still remains that they are in a bad mood and think too much. They think it's good to enlighten. Depression is a disease, not a bad mood.
Some patients with depression dare not go to see when they are sick, for fear of being chewed by others, and bear everything alone, as if a mute were asking for help.
Of course, it doesn't mean that once relatives and friends have depression, they should treat them differently. If they pay too much attention, they will have a sense of alienation abandoned by the world, and let them take themselves as patients.
Some irrelevant people's curiosity or sympathy for them may be regarded as ridicule by patients, which will aggravate the disease.
The correct attitude should be to treat him lightly. Don't make a fuss that he has a serious disease. Don't be angry or indifferent when the disease breaks out.
To understand the typical symptoms of depression, we can not only review ourselves in time, but also give timely help to people around us when they have problems. Let's first understand the eight major symptoms of depression.
1. Low self-evaluation
After suffering from depression, they tend to belittle themselves too much and look at their present, past and future with a critical, negative and negative attitude. Feel worthless and have a dark future. You will have a strong sense of self blame, guilt, uselessness, worthlessness and helplessness. In serious cases, you may have the concept of self guilt and hypochondriasis.
This is why patients with depression are often at risk of suicide.
2. Depressed mood
This is also the most important feature of patients with depression, and it is also widely known. People with mild illness will be in a bad mood, sad and depressed all day. People who are seriously ill will be pessimistic, desperate, and suicidal in the end.
3. Loss of pleasure
This phenomenon is called "switch off". Patients will lose interest in everything in daily life and gradually lose their ability to study and work. I have no fun with all kinds of entertainment activities. I just want to nest all day and have no interest in eating.
Serious will refuse to socialize, alienate relatives and friends.
4. Persistent fatigue without obvious cause
Not only will there be psychological problems, but also feel tired physically and feel unable to do anything. They will lack the enthusiasm and initiative in life and work, and even fail to take into account their own food and drink.
5. Sexual dysfunction
Because of the influence of psychological factors, there will be reduced sexual desire in the early stage of the disease, including impotence in men and lack of sexuality in women.
6. Sleep disorders
Suicide in patients with depression mostly occurs in the early morning, because most patients with depression will be accompanied by sleep disorders. Especially from late midnight to early morning, it is very easy to wake up from sleep and it is difficult to continue to sleep. After waking up, you will be in a depressed mood and can't extricate yourself. Therefore, suicide mostly occurs in this period of time.
7. Have strong suicidal thoughts
My heart is very painful, pessimistic and desperate, and I feel that life is a burden and not worth lingering on. Seeking relief with death can produce strong suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
8. Diurnal variation
The mood of the illness will obviously change with time, and will fall into a low mood in the morning or morning, and will slightly improve in the afternoon or at the party.
Depression as a psychological disease, in addition to drug treatment accidents, psychological intervention can also be carried out, which is what we ordinary people can do.
Because of their pessimism, patients with depression will attribute the causes of negative or failed events to their own problems, while for positive things, they will attribute them to other, objective factors.
Ordinary people will attribute the failure to others and the success to their own internal factors. So the attribution style of depressed patients is completely opposite to that of normal people, so the attribution intervention of patients is of great help to the condition.
When patients encounter setbacks or failures, we should guide them to attribute the failure results to insufficient efforts or other external factors, so that patients will have confidence to change the failure results, and their personal emotions will tend to be optimistic, avoiding pessimism and disappointment.
In addition to external intervention, patients' own efforts can also help control the disease. First of all, don't set yourself some goals that are difficult to achieve, and divide your work tasks into several parts that are easy to achieve as much as possible.
And we should face up to our own condition, not undertake too much work and responsibility, and avoid too much psychological pressure.
Don't let yourself make too big decisions, such as changing jobs, divorce, etc. Don't worry when you encounter an event. You might as well write down your feelings, then analyze and know him, face up to the negative performance in your heart, and then try to get rid of him.
