As long as you are alive, everyone may be a depressed patient. Children aged 6 or 7 will be depressed, and elderly people aged 80 or 90 will be depressed.
According to statistics from World Health Organization (WHO), depression has become a common disease worldwide. More than 350 million people worldwide suffer from depression, and the growth rate of patients in the past decade has been about 18%. It is estimated that 5% of adults worldwide suffer from depression every year.

Early, experts predicted that depression may become the second largest disease in humans after cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease .
Depression is not the bad mood we usually experience. However, when people face negative emotions, they tend to suppress them in their hearts.
Chinese netizens’ depression survey report shows that when emotions are depressed for a long time, 47% of people choose to endure it alone and suppress negative emotions in their hearts. This emotional depression often causes people to fall into a state of depression and even triggers depression disorders.
Today we want to talk to you about the four major truths about depression.
Depression is not just an emotional attack
For depression, depression, unhappiness is just a symptom of the disease. The typical "three lows" symptoms of depression include three major symptoms groups: emotion, thinking, and behavior, which are all basic symptoms of depression.
patients will feel that their thinking ability is much "stupid" than before, "the brain is like a rusty machine, and it is difficult to start." In terms of psychomotor, patients will feel persistent lack of energy, do not want to speak, their voice is low and slow, their movements are reduced, they do not want to move, and they are even lazy to dress up.
On the basis of depression, patients with depression will experience discomfort in various systems. The exercise system experiences continuous fatigue and weakness, lack of energy; cough in the respiratory system, asthma, , shortness of breath, tightness in the breath; circulatory system, chest tightness, palpitations, palpitations, palpitations, ; the immune system experiences decreased resistance; nervous system, nervous system, insomnia or excessive sleep, headache, dizziness, poor memory, difficulty in concentration, and difficulty in thinking; the digestive system has tasteless mouth, nausea, abdominal distension, frequent bowel movements, decreased appetite, and weight loss; the urinary system has increased urinary times, and urgency to urinate; impotence, amenorrhea, and decreased libido. Some patients also experience various chronic physical pains (tooth pain, neck pain, back pain, abdominal pain, low back pain, joint pain, , etc.).
Optimistic people will also suffer from depression
Depression is a common disease that can occur in any person regardless of status, race, age, gender, marital status or cultural level. "Love to laugh" and "optimism" cannot protect a person from depression. No research has found that fewer people who laugh or are optimistic will feel depressed.
There are data that about 1/5 of people will experience moderate or severe depression in their lifetime, of which 2 to 3 times more women than men, and almost 1/4 of women suffer from depression. In contrast, men are only 1/10, but men are at a higher risk of suicide. Experts believe that more women with depression symptoms will be present if mild, undiagnosed depression are considered. The number of men and women in severe and recurrent depression was similar.
Destiny can be avoided without medication, but it cannot be treated without treatment
After the diagnosis of depression, the doctor will evaluate the patient's condition and financial status, and it is recommended to receive psychological treatment, medication or psychological treatment based on medication.
If you really don’t want to take medicine, you can bravely express this concern, and maybe you can also tell you some treatment options other than taking medicine, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation, cognitive behavioral therapy, etc.
In short, there are many ways to change it, but the only thing that is not recommended is to do nothing, or to secretly change the treatment plan yourself and wait for it to get better.
Depression does not necessarily lead to suicide
0 The main manifestations of depression are depression, depression, depression, sadness, unwilling to contact the outside world, no interest in anything, despair, confusion, and no goals in life, so patients often feel that life is meaningless. If long-term mental, psychological and environmental factors stimulate more than the psychological burden that the patient can bear, the patient will have the idea of suicide, or even behavior.
