has been in school for more than a month. Have you noticed the psychological condition of your children? In addition to taking good epidemic prevention measures, we should also care about the mental health of teenagers. Emotional observation of children one month after school will help detect depressed teenagers early and provide appropriate assistance and diagnosis and treatment.
According to the survey, the incidence of major depression among adolescents aged 12 to 17 has increased from 8.3% in 2011 to 13% in 2016. Only one-third of teenagers receive treatment. The general screening of depression on campus helps the chances of adolescents with depressive symptoms being identified.
Research shows that general depression screening on campus can improve the detection rate of depression among adolescents and medical treatment. It is recommended that in addition to being conducted in universities, it should also be implemented in high schools. Schools can combine with regional medical resources. Although doctors cannot directly prescribe medicine when entering high school campuses, parents need to accompany their children to seek medical treatment, routine target screening facilitates follow-up treatment for depressed adolescents.
Even if a general screen is implemented, there will be a fish that misses the net. The reasons include the time point of implementation, the number of times of implementation, and the cooperation of relevant human resources (such as long-term tracking, subsequent referral).
Psychological expert Professor Rong Xinqi suggested that in addition to general screening, establishing one's own emotional examination habits through the care between teachers and students and classmates, as well as understanding mental health-related information and knowing how to relieve stress and maintain a healthy body and mind in time will be a better way to prevent it.
Adult depression is often presented in the form of typical depression, such as depression, often wanting to cry, having no appetite, often having negative thoughts, etc.
. Adolescent depression often appears in atypical form. It can mainly be reflected in the following seven forms:
1. There are many minor problems in the body.
2. Gluttony/anorexia.
3. Excessive care of your body shape.
4. Compulsive thinking.
5. Panic.
6. Emotions are strong.
7. The personality changed drastically.
It is difficult for parents to detect whether the teenagers at home are rebellious, depressed, or suffer from depression . On the contrary, teachers on the front line of the education site are more likely to find differences from the crowd, and classmates are relatively easy to find whether their friends are different from the past.
Psychological expert Professor Rong Xinqi suggested that in addition to general screening of depression, schools should pay attention to the transmission of knowledge and ability in mental health promotion, and establish that school teachers and adolescents understand the identification, prevention and timely seeking assistance.
