Changsha Evening News Mobile Changsha News on December 25 (All Media Reporter Xu Yunyuan) Although there is no need to check the nucleic acid every day, everyone is still very concerned about whether it becomes "positive". Some even worry repeatedly every day whether they will become yang, and once they become yang, they will repeatedly worry about whether it will become serious, and then they will suffer from anxiety, fear, depression, anger and other emotions. Today, at the "Healthy Hunan Lecture" directed by the Hunan Association for Science and Technology, hosted by the Provincial Science Writers Association, and supported by the Changsha Association for Science and Technology, Professor Zhang Yan, deputy director of the National Clinical Research Center for Psychiatric and Mental Illness at the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, reminded: If anxiety is not relieved in time, it is likely to lead to further imbalances in physical and mental functions, leading to physical and mental diseases.

In the face of the COVID-19 epidemic, some people will have stress reactions, which will cause many psychological problems. In the early stage, the main symptoms are shock, surprise, anger, helplessness, panic, denial, and a sense of destruction; in the short term, there are acute stress disorders, anxiety, pain, depression, fear, guilt, irritability, sleep disorders, physical discomfort, etc.; in the long term, it can lead to psychosomatic diseases and adaptive disorders.

"When stress comes, if we respond negatively, emotional, behavioral, cognitive, and psychological stress reactions will occur. If the control is not good, physical and mental problems will occur. If the control is good, you will become very healthy." Zhang Yan said that when infected with the new coronavirus Finally, we can carry out some popular science health education and carry out scientific treatment; when emotional problems arise, we should actively relieve them and speak out; the third step is to change our bad cognitions, seek social support, and deal with them effectively. Problem-solving-oriented methods are the most important.

How to resolve anxiety, insomnia, or even sadness? Zhang Yan shared that positive coping methods are problem-solving oriented. Specifically, you can do this: talk to others or stay with others to gain their support and collect useful information; get enough rest, eat well, and pay attention to exercise; actively participate in various activities to divert attention, such as sports, reading, or doing other things you like; try to maintain the previous schedule and life routine; tell yourself that bad mood is a normal reaction in this special period.

Zhang Yan also shared some tips for relieving anxiety. The first is breathing training (abdominal breathing and imagination): Put your hands on your belly button, inhale with your belly, and then exhale slowly, feeling your hands rise and fall on your belly button. The second is progressive relaxation training : Find a comfortable sofa, play some relaxing music, clasp your hands, and beat the rhythm of "one, two, three, tight; four, five, six, relax", just like doing exercises, effective progressive training through muscle tension and relaxation. The third is the butterfly pat: stand at the window, put your hands on your shoulders and pat lightly, "one, two, three", constantly hinting to yourself that "even if you are positive, you will get better with serious treatment", and then pat yourself with "four, five, six" to relax, warm and comfort yourself. Through this behavioral training, we will ultimately change our cognitive model, face the COVID-19 epidemic with positivity and optimism, and eliminate catastrophic and absolute cognition.
