Today (October 10) is National World Mental Health Day, with the theme of publicity being "Creating a Good Environment and Helping Mental Health Together". Experts call for: Pay attention to the mental health of adolescents and postpartum women and eliminate misunderstandings in the treatment of mental illnesses.
Statistics show that the prevalence of mental disorders among children and adolescents aged 6-16 in my country is 17.5%. Children and adolescence are critical periods of human growth and development, and are also an important stage in psychological development of .
Linjiang Hospital of Psychology Li Jijun introduced that for adolescent patients with depression, the family environment is the primary factor that causes them to fall into depression. About 60% of the student patients feel strict, controlled, neglected, and lack of care in their families. At the same time, academic pressure and excessive expectations have put a huge pressure on teenagers. Because adolescents are not mature enough in their physical and mental development, they are prone to feeling stress and anxiety and depression, which can easily lead to some difficulties in learning, which can easily aggravate negative reactions from families and schools, as well as problems of Internet dependence and Internet addiction. Statistics show that half of the patients with depression students will ask for help through friends' confidence, parental communication or other channels, but nearly half of the students still do not seek any help.
In addition, from a gender perspective, women are more likely to be "hit" by depression, which is about twice the prevalence of men. Women usually face more complex psychological problems than men.
Director of the Department of Psychology and Psychiatry of Zhongda Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University Yuan Yonggui introduced that it is important to attract attention that about 40% of women are ignored by their families when they suffer from postpartum depression . Some families still have the perception of women's postpartum depression at the "pretentious" level. Their depression attacks are often accompanied by bad emotions such as "helplessness", "lostness", and "irritability". Yuan Yonggui said that after giving birth, the mother showed a major change in personality and was prone to conflict with her husband and parents, losing her temper, and crying. Parents may think that she is deliberately looking for trouble, but in fact we need to identify it early and actively intervene.
According to a statistics, during the epidemic prevention and control period, the proportion of moderate to severe depression symptoms and moderate to severe anxiety symptoms in the general population was 16.5% and 28.8%, respectively. The detection rates of depression and anxiety among medical staff were as high as 50.7% and 44.7%, which is far higher than the 12-month prevalence of depression and anxiety disorders in the general population.
Chief physician Li Yong, director of the Department of Clinical Psychology at Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital, said that in recent years, patients who come to see the doctors due to "epidemic anxiety" in clinical practice are often encountered in clinical practice. Crisis intervention and post-traumatic intervention is particularly important. When excessive emotional experiences and manifestations occur, or strange words, thoughts and behaviors, abnormal social functions, affecting others' work and life, you should pay attention to the possibility of abnormal psychology. Li Yong said that at the biological level, drug treatment is needed; psychological behavior management should be carried out; at the social level, patients should be prevented from having stress responses. Comprehensive treatment requires teamwork, and personal energy is limited. Only by exercising the functions of the team can we truly help patients.
There are many pain points in the treatment of in patients with depression. "High costs" are a "stumbling block" that prevents patients from receiving psychological treatment for a long time. Many parents are worried about side effects of taking medicine, and are unable to intervene and treat in time, which has become the key to aggravating the condition.
