I wrote a micro headline before: A good friend suffered from severe depression.
One day, I called her and she said in a low voice in frustration: Sister, for a while, I always feel weak, unenergized, unable to eat, and I can't eat the food I liked to eat in the past. Eating it in my mouth is like chewing wax. I can't sleep at night and can't get up in the morning. She murmured: You haven't seen me for a long time, I've lost a lot of weight. I can't hold my energy up, can't concentrate my memory, and I feel that life is meaningless. I am very sad, crying all day long, feeling inferior, not seeing hope, and it seems that I can't survive.
After listening to what she said, I quickly comforted her not to worry and told her: You are sick. After discussing with her, I helped her to post a special outpatient clinic director of the Psychiatric Department of Peking University Sixth Hospital online.
I accompanied my friend to the fourth floor of Peking University Sixth Hospital, where I needed a clinic for medical treatment. The waiting area was full of people, and people spoke in a low voice, as if most of the accents in other places were heard. There are parents accompanying middle school students; there are elderly people who look fifty or sixty years old; there are young men and women who are dragging suitcases by themselves; there are three or four families accompanying a young man...
electronic call number called us, my friend was in front and I was in the back, and I entered the director's room. The director looked at his friend's haggard face and turned to ask me, why did he take her to see a doctor so late? I didn't know what to say for a moment.
Wait for us to sit down, my friend cried and said to the director, "Director, you save me, I'm so uncomfortable!" The director said kindly, don’t worry first, tell me slowly. The friend sobbed and told the director about her mental and physical pain.
Director listened to his friend's statement while thinking about recording in the medical record book, looking up at her from time to time and asking some questions. After more than twenty minutes, the director put down his pen and straightened his body and said, "You are sick, which is a typical severe depression."
Director html then asked about her original family, her parents' situation, her siblings' relationship, and her marital status. Finally, I said that the cause of my friend's major depression is related to her excessive grief due to her mother's death.
Director prescribed her medicine, including paroxetine hydrochloride (Celite). She was advised to take half a tablet in the morning, and then change it to one tablet in the morning after two days. After two days, take one tablet in the morning every morning. Take one tablet of debakin every night and another tablet of clonazepam before going to bed. Director
told her that she was able to take the initiative to save herself and seek medical treatment, which shows that she is self-aware and strong will, which is very beneficial for restoring her health. She also provided psychological counseling for her friends. Tell her that if the weather is good, walk around the community and park more often, bask in the sun and see beautiful things. Eat more green vegetables, eat some happy foods such as dark chocolate and strawberries, and do not drink coffee or wine, or eat spicy and irritating foods. Cultivate some interests and hobbies and let yourself gradually emerge from the sadness of your mother's death. Finally, she made an appointment for her and made a reservation for her to go to the next visit one month later.
40 minutes of diagnosis and treatment time passed. I accompanied my friend to leave the director's room. I helped her pay, get the medicine, and sent her home.
After three years, I followed the doctor's eye to take medicine on time, live a regular life, make a monthly follow-up appointment, and the psychological counseling of the director of the psychiatric department, and a long-lost smile appeared on my friend's face. Her appetite has increased, her sleep has improved, and her body has gradually become more rounded. Sometimes I accompany her to the park for a walk, and talk about some happy things. She loves singing and posts her own songs on the national karaoke. She loves to raise flowers, and she grows succulent and sensual... I witnessed her completely breaking out of the clutches of severe depression, being physically and mentally healthy, and returning to normal life, and I feel deeply relieved for her.
