After thinking about it, I suddenly felt that if I continue to think about it like this, it will affect my academic performance and I will not be able to get into college. What should I do in my life? Then she became more annoyed. The more annoyed she felt that it would affect her study and entered a vicious cycle of thought. She said that she was upset at school every day and could not devote herself to studying at all.
My friend was worried. He had to call for half an hour every time. He would ask me repeatedly if it was depression . She said a few years ago, a child of a person she knew had depression and committed suicide when he was in junior high school. He was very worried that her daughter also had depression. After asking some details of her daughter's life, I told her that it should not be depression, but she was still worried every time and still asked if it was depression, whether to take medicine or not.
There are also many people who encounter setbacks in their lives and feel depressed. Maybe it is just a temporary depression, but they may suspect that they have depression. The following are typical symptoms of depression. You can compare them one by one to determine whether you or your child has depression:
Emotional experience: Most of the time of day, it is depressed, sad or empty, and is often observed by others to cry. It is difficult to feel happy and happy, and lasts for more than two weeks.
behavioral manifestations: restless or lying still, no longer interested in items or activities you like before. The action is slow and cannot keep up with the normal pace.
Cognitive concept: You are incompetent and not worthy of being liked by others. Living is meaningless, it is better to die than to have no expectations for the future.
Physical fitness and ability: I feel tired or lacking energy every day, and it is difficult to complete tasks I could have done before. Thinking ability is reduced, concentration is not concentrated, memory is reduced .
Physiological states: insomnia, early awakening or drowsiness, loss of appetite or increase in libido, etc., weight loss or increase in weight.
My friend's daughter walks home at 10 o'clock every night in high school. She can complete her homework, her attention is reduced, her memory is reduced, and her appetite is reduced. However, she can eat a lot of delicious food. She is upset and restless when she is at school. She gets up and she gets up when she gets home. She goes home every day to discuss what to do with her mother. Her sleep is average, she occasionally sleeps late and suffers from insomnia. She wakes up at 6:20 in the morning and rarely wakes up early. The most important thing is that she really wants to get into a good university, has specific expectations for the future, and does not show disgust for the world.
Therefore, she should be forced thinking caused by anxiety, and she should go to the hospital for diagnosis. However, I think it is not very serious at the moment. It is not recommended to see a doctor at this time to avoid adverse hints, which will be harmful to the child. It should continue to observe and support the child more, relieve the child's anxiety through various ways, enhance physical exercise, and guide the child to establish correct cognition.
