The most interesting and practical psychology to cultivate every day
To understand Depression , we must first know its source. Depression is a kind of mental disorder, and mental disorders are mostly caused by genetic factors and mental stimulation.
Therefore, the formation of depression also has the effect of the congenital genetic gene , that is, the gene of in patients with depression is very likely to be "naturally sensitive".
Everything has good or bad. People who are naturally sensitive generally have a long talent in other parts, such as bipolar disorder (a combination of depression and mania), but due to social norms, it is difficult for them not to be understood and recognized by the public.
The public has many misunderstandings about depression. Many people have never experienced the troubles of the disease and cannot empathize with it. They think that patients with depression are just pretentious and do not understand why they are in negative and negative emotions all day long and are depressed. I think it would be better if I smiled.
Today we are speaking for patients with depression and solemnly declare: Depression cannot be pretended. So, how to judge whether a person’s depression is pretended to be? Psychologists teach you.
mood disorder and "unhappy" are different!
Mental disorders narrow down, depression belongs to the category of mood disorders (related to emotions), so depression is a disease related to emotions and emotions.
Because emotional states are mainly divided into three states: mood, passion, and stress. The state of mind is a relatively calm and lasting emotional state for a person, which is diffuse and divergent.
Generally speaking, the mood of a normal person depends on the intensity of external stimulation. For example, if you lose one hundred yuan, the individual's mood may only take two days at most. The pain of a broken heart may last for several months.
and huge stress trauma, such as campus violence, loss of relatives, will cause a person to have a strong depressed state of mind, the individual will become negative and pessimistic, lose confidence, and hope. At the same time, the efficiency of cognitive activities will also be reduced. If you do not interfere in time at this time, depression or depression will develop.
When it develops into depression, extreme emotions have spread to all aspects of life, and the individual's mood is long-lasting and sluggish, becoming a mood disorder, and unable to maintain a normal life.
They are constantly pessimistic, have a very strong sense of helplessness and valuelessness, often accompanied by self-blame and self-evaluation, and have too low self-evaluation.
People who do not have depression have a calm mood over the past few months and years. Therefore, it is really too ignorant to simply describe unhappy patients who think it is good to smile.
Cognitive function is damaged, physical symptoms are different from "lazy",
Depressed patients have to make great efforts to do daily things, which is the most difficult thing for ordinary people to understand.
A patient with severe depression vividly described his symptoms: he would cry because he had used up soap in the shower, and because a key on the computer was stuck. Wearing two socks and two shoes can crush yourself, so I just want to go back to bed.
It is extremely difficult for depressed patients to do everything. For ordinary people, simple cognitive activities are like a burden of four hundred pounds in the eyes of patients with depression.
This is because their cognitive abilities are impaired, and cognitive impairment can disrupt the normal daily life of patients with depression.
The first is that the execution ability is damaged. Execution ability is the most harmful to the cognitive function of patients with depression, and is already a widely recognized phenomenon in many academically manifested in the decline in the ability to deal with new things, plan action strategies, suppress mistakes, and supervise implementation actions.
At the same time, their comprehensive analytical ability, spatial perception, logic and association ability, partial and overall concept, thinking flexibility, imagination, eye and hand coordination ability, etc. are damaged, so it is difficult for patients with depression to study and work normally.
The second is that memory function is reduced. All human behaviors are related to memory, and the memory process is often mixed with the influence of attention and emotions. Therefore, the emotions and attention of patients with depression are unstable.
Inattention is difficult for ordinary people to accept, not to mention the impaired cognitive function. Clinical observations Many patients report that their attention is difficult to concentrate during the illness, and patients with severe depression will also have attention deficits, and it is more difficult to concentrate and maintain their attention.
In fact, each of us will encounter one or two extremely depressed or very unhappy experiences in our lives. For example, many people have experienced the sorrow of losing their relatives or friends, or are depressed by not achieving the ideal they want to achieve. These sad emotions are overwhelmed by ordinary people, because what they experience is only one of the symptoms experienced by patients with major depression.
Therefore, many people who think they empathize will feel that depression is pretentious because they do not understand what the objective comprehensive state of depression is.
According to relevant data, about 20.8% of adults suffer from mood disorders (Kessler et al., 2005), and about 16% of people in this world have had major depression at certain times of their lives, such as typical major depression and bipolar disorder . Depression brings huge losses to patients, families and society.
According to the investigation by World Health Organization , severe depression has become the third greatest burden that threatens the lives of people in all countries. The first is respiratory infection , and the second is diarrhea.
Even if it is called major depression, it is just a "common cold in psychological pathology". It can be seen that depression and depression are very common symptoms in human society because it occurs frequently and almost everyone has experienced it more or less at a specific time in their life.
Therefore, it is necessary for people to understand the typical symptoms of depression and depression, because everyone may encounter it in their lifetime. No one's life is smooth sailing. At the same time, depression patients also need more people's understanding, care and recognition. Only when people generally accept depression and understand the pain of depression patients and the people of the world unite can they overcome this third biggest psychological disease that troubles people.
