"My daughter is 13 years old this year. Just a week ago, she was diagnosed with depression . I couldn't believe it and blamed myself. Just before that, the child had mentioned unhappy health to me and her father more than once. Don't have the strength to talk about topics, but every time we think how could a child have any psychological problems? Until last month my daughter told me seriously, "Mom, do you know?" I have many nights to jump from the upstairs. ...... At that moment, I stood there, not knowing what to say, but there is one thing I am very sure that my child is abnormal! Then I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with depression..."
Every day There will be many similar cases updated online, and there will be similar consultation cases on the psychiatric clinic and the Enen Psychological Platform. At first glance, we all have this question: How can children become depressed?
Indeed, this is also a problem that bothers many experts. It should have been carefree age, but it is really "unusual" to be troubled by various psychological problems. The People's Daily client and multiple institutions jointly released the "2022 National Depression" After research, the Blue Paper on Symptoms pointed out that the current prevalence of adolescent depression is 15%-20%, and the main reasons are family environment and academic pressure.
When faced with children's depression, parents should start from the following points:
01. Face the problem and do not escape
01. l1 is also uncomfortable. If the child says that his body is uncomfortable, such as stomachache , heart discomfort, and coughing continuously, the parent-child will have a good time. I was very nervous and hurried to take the child to seek medical treatment.
But if the child says he is depressed, unhappy, sad, and has no energy, some parents will think that the child is "disguising" and think that the child will not have such problems and cannot accept this fact.
However, everyone must understand one truth: if there is no lucky person in the face of depression, everyone may be "hit"!
So as parents who rely on, they must accept and face the problem of children getting sick, affirm their children's bad feelings, and actively encourage and guide them.
02. Seek medical treatment in time for professional treatment
Enhance psychological advice is that it is best to take the child to the hospital to see a doctor for a consultation to clarify the current symptoms and the severity of the condition.
Then, on this basis, choose a more appropriate treatment method (drug therapy or psychological counseling).
03. Firmly companionship
It cannot be said that all psychological problems are caused by the lack of parental companionship, but if children lack companionship during their growth, the probability of suffering from psychological problems will be greatly increased.
Firmly accompany you, listen to the most true thoughts and feelings in your children's hearts, slowly open the bridge of communication, and when the children learn to vent more, the attacks on the inside will be reduced.
04. Praise more and encourage
Praise is a great encouragement and affirmation for children. Regular praise can enhance children's desire for achievement, self-confidence and trust in parents.
In such a positive atmosphere, children and parents will get along more like friends. Even if they encounter any problems in their hearts, there will be channels for evacuation.
And even during the child’s depression, praise also has a good effect on improving children’s self-confidence and changing self-denial and self-aggression!
