It helps!

all depression are and their inner have

relationship,

all depression are telling you:

Back to life itself,

accept the true self.

a depression

physical and mental energy is not enough

modern medicine is to separate look

However, the body and mind are actually one thing in Chinese medicine, called the unity of form and spirit. The god of Chinese medicine includes heart and mind.

Depression often referred to in modern medicine, according to Chinese medicine, in many cases it is actually because the energy of the whole body is insufficient.

We all know that even if you are usually a very active and positive person with energy, if you let you not sleep for three consecutive days, you will eat two meals in three days and then let you Doing a lot of work, will you still be energetic and active at that time?

When our body's energy,

is low to a certain level.

Our spirit,

pan1span strong2 strong2 will both decrease consciousness and the ability of the mind to function.

For example, when the computer has enough memory and the programs are not conflicting, you can run those high-level programs; 1 span1 At that time, those high-version programs, not to mention running, can't be downloaded, only low-version programs can be run.

Therefore, when a person's energy is very low, his physical state will be very low, and his inner state and consciousness state will also be very low.

It is conceivable that in such a low-level state, when he communicates with all things in the world, he cannot digest a lot of things, including food and emotions, and he cannot do a lot of physical work or complex exercises. , Many things have become obstacles.

There are also problems with the internal operation of the body, such as high blood pressure, high blood lipids, high blood sugar, or tachycardia , arrhythmia, these are actually the body cannot load or function after low energy .

is the same emotionally. When a person's energy is low, there may be some problems with his ability to express and accept.

His consciousness, thinking and social interaction may be relatively closed,Maybe he can only absorb a certain type of things he is willing to absorb, and refuses others, even things that he could absorb and digest before begin to refuse.

When he reaches this state, he actually becomes a "compressed person", his shape, breath, god, or body, mind, and mind are all compressed.

In a compressed state, his time and space, society and life, and everything around him, what he can touch and what he is willing to touch is also compressed.

In this way, he entered, a low-level cycle of internal and external, but he may not be aware of it.

Once in this state, because he has entered a low-level cycle, he will go down the whole body and mind.

Everyone may understand that when we say that someone is depressed, most people think that this is just a psychological problem.

But in fact it is definitely not a simple psychological problem, but a whole life problem.

two diseases just name

we need to understand its roots

we need to think about:

first question: Is depression only the brain?

The current medical point of view is: depression or all psychological problems,It is caused by changes in chemicals in the brain.

For example, dopamine , a neurotransmitter , mental state and mood will be affected by changes in the concentration of this substance.

Many researches on psychotropic drugs are based on this understanding.

Is depression really just a change in the chemical transmitters of the brain?

The second question: Is the brain sick or the body sick?

Modern medicine and psychology believe that this is a mental and mental problem, so people who suffer from depression and certain mental illnesses should take a lot of drugs that inhibit these chemical elements or stop their minds from working.

But after so many years of practice, the effect is not very good.

For a person as a whole, his life attitude and lifestyle; are the changes in his emotions, thinking, cognition, and behavior patterns just due to changes in these chemicals? Could it be the other way around?

is it because our body, mind, and mind have problems,And what happened to these chemical substances?

Just like when I was in class, because there was a class, I lighted a stick of incense. Is incense the reason for our class?

No, it’s because of the lecture that there is fragrance, not only the fragrance, but also the light and the sounds, which we call "by-products of simultaneous emergence."

Are there any logical loopholes in the thinking of western medicine in the perception of psychological problems?

In some parallel related phenomena, look for the cause and the result.

Logically speaking, cause and effect should be the first and the second, and the difference between the root cause and the epigenetic.

is like a seed that grows into a tree, but you can't say that the leaves, these flowers, and the bugs on the leaves are the cause of this tree.

This should be noted. This question is raised because not only many patients accept a simple explanation about their current state, but doctors may also think so.

People are easily brainwashed.

what the popular media say,What the doctor says is what it is.

face depression,

if not traced,

find the cause lies.

Our disease cannot be cured, strongspan

2 can not solve the problem.

The third question: Why is there more and more depression in modern times?

We all know: Everyone has a time or stage when they are unhappy,Everyone has many emotions.

But why suddenly there is such a concept as depression? And more and more people are suffering from "depression"? This is a very strange thing.

The culture of our time does not accept these normal emotions, is afraid of this unhappy state, and thinks:

A person’s unhappiness for a certain period of time is like no power to maintain a The same life as before is unacceptable and abnormal.

This is because everyone believes that people should always be high, proud, confident, and work hard. Is this really normal?

Just like spring, summer, autumn and winter, this is a pattern and a natural state, but some people only like spring and summer, not autumn and winter.

So they resist autumn and winter, because of resistance, they are more likely to get sick or feel uncomfortable in autumn and winter.

What I want to say is: Many disease names, or many diseases, are actually created by us.

In other words: we don’t accept life as it is,If you have to force it to retain only the aspect, life begins to twist, deform, and start to have problems.

is like a flowing river. We block it to prevent it from flowing naturally.

I went to graduate school in 1997 to study psychology and psychosomatic medicine. I started reading psychology books when I was in college.

We all know the older generation. At that time, there was no diagnosis of these depression and anxiety disorders. There were two types:

One is called neurasthenia. At that time, all these unhappy, unthinkable, and sleepless people are called neurasthenia;

and others directly criticize you for not being firm in your will, not having an active mind...belonging to thought problem.

There are two commonly used medicines for neurasthenia, one is oryzanol, and the other is multivitamin B .

Around the 1980s, a new disease name began to appear, called menopausal syndrome .

Before this, there was no such disease in medical dictionaries or textbooks. By the 1990s, menopausal syndrome began to become "common".

Then you will find that many middle-aged women come to ask eagerly, doctor, I have not been able to sleep well recently, dizzy and forgetful, upset, easily nervous, hot flushes, night sweats , menstrual disorders. ..... Is this menopause?

The doctor said, well, you are menopause.

The doctor and the patient don’t care: What is the root cause behind this? Just an explanation is needed. I found that “many people are like this”, so I feel relieved.

One thing I am deeply impressed. When I was an intern in the third and fourth grades of university, when the patient hurriedly said a word, the doctor said categorically, okay, you are menopausal, and the patient is all right. Soothed.

This should be noted that we need a lot of diseases to be "clearly diagnosed" because we need an explanation, just like we need to categorize, we need to be orderly, we need road signs and guiding lights... .

In some sense,

needs an explanation.

As for whether this explanation comes from the truth,

Many people don’t care.

Later, I read the opinion of a person in Western psychology, which is very interesting. He said:

For these at a loss, when someone tells him that you have other problems Sometimes people no longer feel isolated or heretics anymore, and then he feels relieved.

Then in nine years or so, I found out that there were depression and anxiety disorders. There were not many at that time. When I studied psychosomatic medicine in 1997, this subject was still very unpopular.

By the year 2000, some universities began to have psychology departments, and China's psychotherapy industry began to flourish. A large number of drugs and a large number of targeted courses appeared.

I remember that some new diseases appeared around 2000. For example, depression began to be classified, including postpartum depression and senile depression. And depression in old age was called neurasthenia in the past.

This process is very interesting. It reminds me of the history of our country. Our parents have experienced a lot.

My father was labeled as a reactionary academic authority of the bourgeoisie. This is actually a "diagnosis".

In that era, this diagnosis is very powerful, it will run through your life,It will even affect the fate of your next generation and the next generation.

In the past thirty years, the concept of society has changed, and these "diagnoses" have disappeared.

The post-80s and post-90s do not know these things anymore, but in that era, these things were more important than the sky.

Therefore, we need to have the ability to observe, perceive and think independently about many things in life.

This way you won't be easily led into a misunderstanding by others, casually creating diseases for yourself and suffering the pain of drifting along.

From a certain perspective, all industries are feeding each other medicine.

Why do they feed each other? Because it's easy, easy, and easy to make money.
