Some people think depression is sadness. Some people think that depression is fragility and crying. Some people think that depression is laziness, escapism, and like darkness...
But, they are all wrong! Depression is a persistent state of depression, despair and numbness. Patients cannot feel joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness at all, nor can they feel the fireworks of life in the world. It seems to be separated from this world by a membrane, and the blur and unreality make people suffocate and unable to breathe.

Because of my lack of understanding of depression , people often suspect that they are suffering from depression because of some bad emotional experiences.
Although the main manifestation of depression is depression, depression does not necessarily mean depression. When we are depressed and unhappy, how should we judge whether we are suffering from depression?

1. How to distinguish between depression and depression?
Normal depression is based on a certain objective background of things, so-called "there is a cause for things." Unhappy emotions will naturally occur when encountering adversity, grievances, unfortunate events or bad mental stimulation.
This kind of emotion generally fades with the passage of time and changes in the situation. Even if it appears again in the future, it is often caused by emotions caused by touching the scene.
pictures are from the Internet, and the depression of depression is "inconsistent with its situation". This kind of "depression" is difficult to explain with objective real situations. It is a pathological depression disorder that will seriously affect physical and mental health and cause family and social burdens.

can distinguish between depression and depression based on these points:
(1) Reason: Depression is caused by events, usually when people experience unpleasant and bored experiences after encountering specific life events, while depression is usually for no reason and lacks the conditions for objective mental stress.
(2) Duration: Depression has certain limits, usually short-term. Depression depression is “significant and lasting”.
"significant" means that this kind of low mood is usually felt by oneself or others, and can range from depression to heartbreak.
"Last-lasting" means that depression should last for a certain period of time, and the emotional changes of mentally healthy people should not exceed two weeks. More than two weeks or even several months may be depressed and further observation is needed.

(3) Severity: Normal emotional depression is generally mild, and will not seriously affect study, work and life, and can be adjusted and relieved. The degree of depression is severe and affects study, work and life. If you are unable to adapt to society, you may produce serious negative or even negative suicidal thoughts or behaviors, and the patient's social function and quality of life will be significantly reduced.

(4) Physical symptoms: Depression is generally not accompanied by physical symptoms. Depression is accompanied by obvious physical symptoms, such as continuous insomnia, decreased weight and appetite, multiple pains throughout the body, and no abnormalities in the examination.
A typical feature of depression is obvious long-term depression. If you find that someone around you has related abnormalities, you need to be vigilant.

When facing depression, don’t escape! ! ! Don’t be lucky, think that you will be better in a few days. There are really very few people who can heal themselves by relying solely on their own strength.
If you do psychological counseling and take medicine to control it in the early stage of depression, it will be easy to cure it, but if you don’t care about how it develops, the consequences will be unimaginable.
