One day, when a 15-year-old girl came with her mother.
I am in a bad mood recently, and I am inexplicably irritable, and I have become inferior and sensitive. I care very much about my classmates and teachers' evaluations of myself, and sometimes I also express the idea of not wanting to live.
Her mother thought this was a problem during adolescence and wanted the doctor to explain it to her and reminded the doctor to talk to her children more so that they can become confident and be grateful to their parents.
But the child feels that he is not a problem in adolescence, it is not that simple.
She said:
"I'm not just in a bad mood, sometimes I feel a headache, I often feel sleepy and weak, and I'm very tired.
In the past few months, I occasionally thought about disappearing from this world, but now I often think about this, and even think about how to do this.
I feel that I'm so tired of living, and I feel like I'm completely disappointed.
But I feel very guilty. My parents and family love me very much, and I have worked hard to raise me. What will they do if I leave?
They How painful it should be? I can't do this so irresponsible.
Always sleepy and weak during the day, and can fall asleep at night, but I am half asleep and half awake. When I wake up in the morning, I don't know if I fall asleep at night.
And I don't have the appetite to eat, and I feel hungry, but I still have no appetite to eat, and I will stuff a little randomly when I'm in a hurry.
My mother doesn't understand me. She always feels that this is adolescence, the study pressure is high, and my stress resistance is not good, but I think it's really not."
This girl intuitively described the difference between " depression " and normal depression (depression).
In summary, their differences are reflected in degree, duration and range of impact:
is first of all the degree of . People's emotions are flowing. In clinical practice, I often tell my patients that people's emotions are like sinusoidal curves (y=sinx), with ups and downs and ups and downs.
or use the stock market to describe it. The stock market rises, the mood surges or even is excited. When the stock market falls, the mood falls. The lower the stock market, the lower the mood.
This ups and downs are actually normal.
Normal people will feel short-term depression when they are hit. This stimulation is like being scalded or stinging, which can make them reflect on themselves.
But soon they were able to change their coping strategies and return to the crowd.
But depression is not.
He will feel that something is wrong with him, he is not like himself anymore, and people who are familiar with him will also feel that this person has changed. He cannot go out, study, go to work, work, and complete interpersonal activities, and is even very negative.
followed by duration on .
Often people die, and one day or two days passes, and the longest is not more than two weeks, while depression patients will last for more than a few weeks at any time.
Finally, on the range.
Most of the frustration of ordinary people is limited to emotional experience. In other aspects, it is time to eat and sleep.
The loss of depression patients must have affected many other aspects, including lack of energy and physical strength.
also has symptoms of "no evidence" on the body, especially pain and digestive tract symptoms.
The brain is slow to react, and the patient's brain is like rusting, his thinking slows down, his words slow down, his thinking stagnates, and he asks a question and thinks for a while before he can tell you in slow language.
even frequently think of death, and have suicidal thoughts and impulses.
If the above symptoms occur, it may be depression. Don’t hold on. It is recommended to go to a professional mental health institution for treatment.
