Documents show that 65% of people suffer from depression in the later stages of physical diseases, such as various cancers, cerebrovascular accidents, hypertension, , coronary heart disease, diabetes , rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases; 35% of people suffer from depression in the early stages of physical diseases, that is, stress from life events, such as death of relatives, frustration, psychological pressure, etc., can all lead to depression. Depression is a disease, not a person's shortcomings or personality defects. Most depression can be cured through self-psychological regulation, psychotherapy and appropriate antidepressant treatment. It should be noted that emotional depression is different from depression .
Why causes emotional depression
There are many reasons for emotional depression, but it is mainly bad social and psychological factors. When people live in society, everything is impossible to go well, so negative emotional activities that are harmful to physical and mental health such as troubles, grief, tension, and anxiety are inevitable. If they can get out of the shadows and restore normal emotional activities in a short period of time through self-psychological adjustment, it is normal. Living conditions include changes in society, culture and objective environment, such as changes in marriage and family, changes in physical condition and interpersonal relationships, changes in economic conditions and academic careers. Any conditions that can cause strong mental stress, severe mental trauma or unpleasant emotional experience in life can become psychological factors that cause emotional depression. White-collar people have high work pressure and fast pace of life, and are more sensitive to changes in the humanistic environment, so they are more likely to develop psychological depression.
study shows that patients with depression may have severe emotional depression, and depression has a certain family tendency. If one of the parents suffers from depression, the probability of children getting sick is 25%. If both parents are patients with depression, the prevalence rate of children can be increased to 50% to 75%. In addition, for some people, long-term use of certain drugs (such as some hypertension drugs, drugs for arthritis or Parkinson's ) can also cause depression.
It should be pointed out that there is a type of depression called occult depression . The symptoms of depression and depression are not obvious. They are often manifested as various physical discomfort symptoms, such as palpitations , chest tightness , middle and upper abdomen discomfort, shortness of breath, sweating, weight loss, insomnia, psychomotor hysteresis or agitation.

Even if there are difficult problems to face the next day, you will never go to bed with the difficult problems you are thinking about. Listen to light music before going to bed, which helps you sleep. Design a quiet bedroom, try to isolate the noise of the bedroom, and develop the habit of turning off the lights and sleeping. Simplify the bed sheet and develop the habit of sleeping only for sleep, not reading books, making phone calls, or watching TV in the bed.
