China Mental Health Survey shows that the lifelong prevalence of depression disorder in adults in my country is 6.8%, of which depression is 3.4%. Currently, the number of people suffering from depression in my country is 95 million, and about 280,000 people commit suicide every year, of which 40% suffer from depression.
WHOWHO statistics show that about billion people worldwide are suffering from mental disorders. Every 0 seconds people lose their lives due to suicide. The number of suicides in low- and middle-income countries accounts for 7% of the global suicides.
After the COVID-19 pandemic, the global burden of mental disorders has become heavier, and the number of cases of major depression and anxiety has increased by 8% and 6%, respectively. patients with depression have increased by 3 million , an increase of up to 7.6%. The pressure of the epidemic has brought greater challenges to the diagnosis and treatment of depression.
Research published in The Lancet in 2021 mentioned that the COVID-19 pandemic has made public health security factors prominent, but other complex social factors related to inequality have not disappeared. Previous studies have shown that the epidemic has the most serious impact on women and young people.
At the same time, the people still know very little about depression. Patients with depression still face problems such as with strong sense of shame, lack of disease education, and difficulty in seeking medical treatment.
For this reason, the Institute of Depression, in conjunction with the People's Daily Health Client, Good Mood, Lingbei China, collected 6,670 valid questionnaires from the group of depression patients to jointly create this "2022 National Depression Blue Book".
objectively and comprehensively reflects the overall picture and changes in my country's depression from five aspects: the current status of national depression, the current status of patients with depression, the current status of patients' medical treatment, the current status of patients' medication, and prevention and intervention. It calls on the people to attach great importance to mental health and explore more effective emerging treatment methods.

Causes of depression
Patients with 6% and 8% believe that:
The main reasons for depression are Emotional stressand Family parent-child relationship;
followed by Intimate relationship and Career development 5%html and and 5%, respectively.
Many times, people will bury negative emotions in their hearts. Not only can they not resolve them, but they are at risk of falling into depression.
In fact, these emotions need to be faced and expressed. We need to realize that the existence of negative emotions is normal and universal.

Causes of depression in teenagers
For teenage patients, parents are an extremely critical part of their medical treatment. Whether they can detect children's abnormal movements in a timely manner and give effective attention and guidance largely determine the future direction of the child.
Many parents only see their children's behavioral performance, but cannot see the emotional and spiritual factors behind it. They simply characterize the problem as not loving to study, rebellious during adolescence, or weak willpower.
For a long time, it will lead to the "defying and long" path for adolescents, and even tend to be self-harm and suicide.
The phenomenon of depression among adolescents cannot be ignored. We should form a good dynamic system between society, family and individuals, influence each other and promote change.

Internet and Education and training industry, becoming the "seriously hit areas" of workplace depression .
6% of China's companies do not provide psychological assistance services to their employees.

When the work is heavy, the self-requirement is too high, and it makes people feel stressed, it is easy to cause various physical and psychological symptoms, such as insomnia, anxiety, persistent drowsiness, inability to lift the mind, and even headaches and vomiting.

There are 95 million depressed patients in my country. Depression, as the most common emotional disorder that ranks first in the burden of disease, is not far away from us. Even its "claws" have extended to teenagers and children, and each of us may suffer from depression in our lives. Once it occurs, it will seriously damage our physical and mental health.
However, many public lack a correct understanding of depression, and patients with depression are also confused about the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, resulting in the "overwhelming majority" of patients who have not been diagnosed and have not been effectively treated.
Mental and mental health platforms, pharmaceutical companies and media all have the responsibility and obligation to enable more public to correctly understand depression, help patients receive professional help and standardized treatment, improve the convenience of medical treatment and follow-up, and improve treatment compliance and effectiveness.
Depression Research Institute is committed to providing solutions to depression in a warm manner. Popularize science and education on psychological diseases and eliminate social stigma. The layout is from professional screening prevention to intervention and treatment services, providing more convenient and high-quality services to every patient and family, and promoting the development of China's spiritual and psychological industry.
