Recently, many fans and friends have shared their feelings with me:
There are complaints that my parents don’t care about him anymore after they have a younger brother. He is very unhappy and often locks himself in the house, crying alone and feels that he is suffering from depression .
I have always been in a low mood recently. I can't get along well with my classmates and colleagues. I feel that others are bullying her in isolation. She is very desperate and in pain, and I feel that I am suffering from depression.
Is this kind of "I'm very unhappy", or is it because I'm always feeling very low recently and want to cry for no reason, but I'm suffering from depression?

What kind of depression? Do you really understand it?
First of all, depression is not simply a "bad mood", but a very serious mental syndrome, which is a complication of many emotional and abnormal feelings;
It contains not only despair, depression and sorrow, but also factors such as loss of interest, fatigue, anxiety, anorexia or gluttony, insomnia or lethargy .
In our definition of psychiatric medicine, "depression is a type of mood disorder , which is mainly characterized by significant and lasting depression, and is accompanied by varying degrees of cognitive and behavioral changes, and may have self-harm, suicide behavior, and even death due to it."

What needs to be emphasized here is: long-term depression, accompanied by clinical characteristics of reduced cognitive (thinking) and behavioral (will) abilities, which is the clinically referred to as the "three lows" symptoms of in patients with depression in .
which is the specific "three lows"?
1. Depressed
Things I was interested in before now have no interest at all, and this is a depressed . For example, I used to like playing games, but now I don’t think about it at all. I turned out to be a foodie, but now I start to feel anorexia and want to vomit when I see what I eat.
2. People with slow thinking
Depressed people seem to have broken from their "roots", feel "the brain is no longer effective", "the brain is dull", can't remember anything, have no ability to think, "not even think", and have empty minds.

3, reduce will
3, weaken the will
0, life is passive and lazy, this kind of laziness is extraordinary, I don’t want to do anything, don’t want to do things, I feel very tired when I move, and I can’t even do small things like getting up and wearing clothes.
Once such symptoms occur and are accompanied by physiological discomfort, you must go to the hospital for professional diagnosis and treatment in time to avoid serious consequences due to ignoring the condition.

, then I am always in a low mood. Is it considered depression?
The diagnosis of depression mainly depends on the scale, but even if you use the self-evaluation scale, please seek professional guidance as much as possible. Do not believe in various self-tests of depression of unknown sources.
The current diagnosis of depression is mainly done through a large number of clinical scales. The mental and mental state of the filler is determined by filling out a series of questionnaires, and the degree of depression of the filler is judged by quantifying the results of these questionnaires. Only further consultation and treatment can be carried out next.
