Depression is not formed in one or two days, but a disease gradually accumulates. Some of the symptoms of in patients with depression will make us worry, so we need to take more care of it. So, what are the precursors of depression?
1. Feeling depressed
0 Depression varies from mild adverse emotions to sadness, pessimism, and despair. The patient feels heavy, boring, unhappy, unhappy, in pain, and unable to extricate himself. Some patients may also experience anxiety, irritability and tension.
2. Loss of interest
Loss of enthusiasm and fun in life and work, and loses interest in everything. Don’t experience the joy of family, despise past hobbies, often live alone, alienate relatives and friends, and avoid social interaction.
3. Being stubborn
includes being dissatisfied with things that cannot be perfect, having a stronger sense of responsibility, being often angry about small things, and being unable to express one's emotions. They are common precursor symptoms of depression. Depressed patients may be like athletes, always giving their all to remind themselves to “Come on, come on.” Even though these people's energy is almost over, they are still forcing themselves to exhaust their remaining energy.
4. Physical condition
Loss of appetite, poor sleep quality, stiff and sore neck and shoulders, inability to eat, hair loss , weight loss, sleeplessness, continuous headache, etc. These are common precursors of depression. In addition, sleep problems are also a common problem for people with depression. What these patients call "bad sleep" include " sleep disorder " that takes more than two hours more than normal people to fall asleep.
5. Hallucinations or delusions
. One is the so-called delusion that is consistent with the state of mind, that is, the content of the delusion is commensurate with the depression state, such as delusions that cannot be restored by cerebrovascular diseases, delusions of evil, delusions of disaster, delusions without value, or the often self-blame and self-deprecation auditory hallucination . Another type of delusion is called "incongruence with emotions", that is, the content of the delusion is not commensurate with the depressed emotions, such as the delusion being killed, the delusion being tortured, and auditory hallucinations without any emotional components. But none of these delusions have the absurdity, weirdness, and primary characteristics of schizophrenia delusions.
6. Patients with suicidal concepts and behaviors
often have the idea of suicide. In mild cases, they think that being alive is boring and often think of things related to death. Some people will take the initiative to find ways to commit suicide and put it into practice. Some patients even killed several people before committing suicide, resulting in extremely serious consequences. Therefore, such patients should be highly vigilant, actively provide intervention and treatment, and consult a psychiatrist, and go to a mental hospital for treatment if necessary.
