Zhang Lulu, deputy chief physician of the Department of Psychiatrics, Guangzhou First People's Hospital, said that for young people, their anxiety mainly comes from academic pressure, especially candidates facing graduation exams and school pressure, and are prone to nervousness and fear after the festival.

. Middle-aged people need to bear greater workplace pressure and face new work tasks and indicators after the year. Zhang Lulu introduced that these factors may cause individual psychological conflicts and induce anxiety after the holiday.

In addition to external factors, internal factors also play a certain role. Zhang Lulu said that patients with anxious personality traits or who have had anxiety disorders are more likely to be nervous and worried about unknown things. Therefore, this type of person is at a higher risk of post-holiday anxiety.

There are three major causes of anxiety after the holiday

"I don't want to go to work..." "I'm allergic to work now..." When you have such thoughts, you may have suffered from post-holiday syndrome.

Post-holiday syndrome refers to various physiological or psychological manifestations that people experience during the holidays, especially after the Spring Festival Golden Week and National Day Golden Week. For example, if you feel bored and unable to get up, you will be inefficient in work during the two or three days after the holidays, you may even have unexplained nausea, dizziness, intestinal reactions, anorexia nervosa, anxiety, neurasthenia, etc.

Why are professionals prone to post-holiday syndrome? Occupational health expert Chen Huiqing pointed out that this is related to the fact that people have destroyed the "motive" of the originally established work during the long holiday. During the long holiday, many people tend to forget their usual constraints, staying up late, overeating, etc. Once the sleep and diet are disrupted, it is normal to have constipation, acne, and excessive oil secretion, and diarrhea is even more common during the holidays. Such holiday conditions directly lead to various physical problems after the holiday.

Both mental and physical symptoms should be treated

Zhang Lulu introduced that "post-holiday anxiety" is mainly manifested as mental anxiety, tension, sleep disorder, etc. This is mainly because during the holiday, people's body and emotions have entered a state of vacation, and the holiday is approaching the end, and they are consciously aware that they are about to face study and work. This deviation between physical state and cognition can easily lead to the occurrence of post-holiday anxiety. Post-holiday anxiety is sometimes temporary. According to the diagnostic criteria for anxiety disorder, only emotional anxiety that meets a certain course of illness can be considered a true mental and psychological disease.

The core symptoms of anxiety disorder after the period mainly include mental symptoms and physical symptoms.

Mental anxiety is mainly manifested as: it is prone to inexplicable tension and worry, and also free-thinking anxiety, constantly exaggerating a small problem in a negative direction, and producing a catastrophic result. Many people in life mistake this for a common anxiety. In fact, this anxiety disorder is more serious than ordinary anxiety and has a greater impact on the normal social function of an individual.

At the same time, patients often have symptoms of physical discomfort, such as: palpitations, muscle pain, excessive sweating, frequent urination, insomnia, fidgets, etc. When an individual experiences the above two symptoms and affects social function, he/she should seek medical treatment in time.

Adjust your mental state to do this

For anxiety after the holiday, Zhang Lulu suggests that you should actively adjust your mentality, such as planning your goals and expectations for the new year, or planning what you are interested in, and keeping a good mood.Distract yourself, give yourself positive psychological hints, and imagine more beautiful things. Find out your irrational concepts and replace irrational concepts with rational concepts.

Example 1. Irrational concept: I should be very worried about the dangerous, insecure or horror that may occur.

Rational concept: Worrying alone cannot prevent the problem from happening, it will only bother me. As everyone else, I can use constructive methods to prevent possible problems. So I don't have to just get involved in what has not happened in the future.

Example 2. Irrational concept: I must gain the love and recognition of me by all the people I think are important.

Rational concept: Although I long to be loved and recognized, I don’t need it to survive. I'd better focus on loving others and accepting myself, rather than focusing on being loved.
