Many people always complain about their mental stress and often talk about "I am depressed again". Do you understand your spiritual world? Can you recognize your emotions? Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital Clinical Psychology Department and Chief Physician Li Yong reminds: Everyone should correctly identify their emotions. If you have any troubles, seek medical treatment in a timely manner.
What to do if the epidemic is anxious?
Li Yong said that in the past two years, he often encountered patients who came to see the doctor because of the epidemic is anxious. Many confirmed patients experience numbness, denial, anger, fear, anxiety, depression, disappointment, complaints, insomnia or aggression, which is often due to their fear of the disease, or their over-optimism about treatment and excessive expectations. Some people in home quarantine also feel pressured to be alienated by others, feeling wronged and ashamed.
" crisis intervention in and post-traumatic intervention is particularly important. When excessive emotional experiences and manifestations occur, or bizarre words, thoughts and behaviors occur, it is necessary to pay attention to the possibility of abnormal psychology." Li Yong said that at the level of biomedical , medication should be used when necessary; at the psychological level, psychological behavior management should be carried out; at the social level, patients should be prevented from having stress responses. Comprehensive treatment requires teamwork, and personal energy is limited. Only by exercising the functions of the team can we truly help patients.
How does learning anxiety come about
It is reported that 35% of teenagers currently have psychological distress, and the common psychological problem is learning anxiety. The so-called learning anxiety is the tendency of students to respond to their psychological reactions that a reality or expected learning situation poses a threat to their self-esteem and develops a certain worry.
Li Yong once treated a young patient. When his parents brought him a doctor, his child's face was "closely clouded". It turned out that the child had excellent grades in elementary school, but after he was admitted to a key middle school, his grades in the basic examination were not ideal. The child felt very painful. Although he wanted to catch up, he was repeatedly frustrated. Soon he fell into inferiority and suspicion, and began to sleep in, destroy public property, contradict the teacher, and finally had to take the initiative to take the initiative to take the leave of school.
Li Yong said that on the one hand, this anxiety may be caused by the person involved's strong self-esteem and the psychological pressure after the gap between expectations and reality; on the other hand, it may also be caused by family factors or poor personality cultivation. At this time, you need to treat your grades and rankings correctly, find the right position, and adjust your mentality; you can also lower your goals appropriately to make your goals happier and induce learning motivation; or stimulate your superego, and be responsible for your future. If all the above methods have been used but still do not work, you need to go to a regular medical institution for examination and treatment.
"Sad autumn" is caused by depression
The bleak autumn wind brings not only the golden brilliance everywhere, but also the "depressed mood" of many people. Li Yong said that the number of patients coming to the hospital in the fall has increased significantly, and many people directly say that they have depression as soon as they sit down.
"Autumn and winter are indeed the high season for depression disorders. Some theory believes that the occurrence of seasonal depression may be related to the shortening of light time , and the environmental inducing effect of autumn." Li Yong said that having depression symptoms does not mean suffering from depression.
"Detective symptoms must be considered only when they reach the diagnostic criteria for depression. The diagnosis name of my country's diagnosis is 'depressive attack', which is commonly known as 'depressive disorder'." Li Yong explained that depression attacks are mainly caused by depression, which can range from depression to grief, and even wood stagnation. In severe cases, psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions may occur. The anxiety and motor agitation in some cases are very significant.
In real life, how can we distinguish whether it is "depressive symptoms" or "depression"? Li Yong said that the possibility of depression is considered only when he has depression lasts for more than 2 weeks and has at least 4 of the following symptoms: loss of interest, no pleasure, loss of energy or fatigue; mental motor hysteresis or agitation; low self-evaluation, self-blame, guilt; difficulty in association or decreased ability to think consciously; repeated thoughts of wanting to die or suicide or self-harm behavior; sleep disorders , such as insomnia, early awakening or excessive sleep; reduced appetite or significant weight loss; decreased libido, etc.
Li Yong said that the above symptoms are only used as references. The diagnosis and determination of depression are relatively complicated and patients need to go to the hospital for treatment in time.
