October 10 " World Mental Health Day " was initiated by the World Mental Health Alliance in 1992. It aims to increase the awareness of the importance and urgency of mental health in government departments, all sectors of society, and the general public, and popularize mental health knowledge and skills.
This year, the World Mental Health Day publicity theme released by the National Health Commission is "Creating a Good Environment and Helping Mental Health Together". It aims to promote the whole society to improve awareness, enhance mental health awareness, pay attention to psychological and spiritual needs through publicity activities in various ways, and create a good atmosphere for maintaining and promoting mental health and mental health in family life, schools, work units, communities and other environments, provide appropriate psychological support and mental health services, and improve mental health and mental health levels.
According to the "2022 National Depression Blue Book": "China's 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."
"After the new crown epidemic, the global burden of mental disorders has become heavier. , the number of cases of major depression and anxiety increased by 28% and 26%, respectively, and patients with depression increased by 53 million, an increase of up to 27.6%. The pressure of the epidemic has brought greater challenges to the diagnosis and treatment of depression. "
According to the "China National Mental Health Development Report (2019~2020)": In 2020, the detection rate of depression among Chinese adolescents was 24.6%, and the detection rate of severe depression was 7.4%.
"Post-epidemic Era", how to protect your own mental health?
年官网年多官网 年多官网 said: "In the post-epidemic era where external social changes and internal psychological conflicts are intertwined, we may experience more negative emotional experiences. At this time, we need to actively respond to it to avoid qualitative changes in negative emotions and evolve into psychological diseases.
However, the current situation is that the incidence of psychological diseases (taking depression as an example) is rising year by year. On the other hand, the people still know very little about psychological problems such as depression, and there are even more misunderstandings and prejudices, believing that depression is just a person who is not cheerful, thinks too much about it, and avoids difficulties. It’s just a mouth, and it is not considered a disease that needs treatment and can be cured. Depressed patients face problems such as strong sense of shame, lack of disease education, and few ways to seek medical treatment, so there is no timely intervention and treatment, which leads to the curable disease becoming a chronic disease that seriously affects life and work.
Therefore, early screening, early detection and early treatment are very important in the field of mental health. When some common mental sub-health states appear (such as anxiety, irritability, insomnia, repeated physical discomfort), everyone must pay enough attention to it, seek medical treatment in a timely manner and actively seek medical treatment. "
What can we do for mental health?
Psychology is actually the same as the body, and it can also get sick. Usually, we judge psychological problems, just like physical diagnosis, and we can first conduct psychological assessments for suspected mental health problems to assess the risk and crisis level of mental health. Those who need intervention can provide guidance through psychological counseling, family psychological counseling, team psychological counseling, etc.
For individuals, mental health services can not only diagnose and treat various psychological states and mental illnesses of children, adolescents and adults, but also help people understand themselves, discover career abilities and interests through some professional scales, and help career and life development planning.
It should be noted that the current population of depression is young, with 30% of patients under the age of 18 accounting for 30%, and 50% of patients with depression are students in school. Parents urgently need to pay attention to the mental health of adolescents, such as refusal to learn, anxiety about exams, mobile phone dependence, etc.
