Depression is something that everyone may have. Children who go to elementary school will be depressed, and those who are in their eighties or nineties will also be depressed.
According to World Health Organization statistics, more than 350 million people worldwide suffer from depression. Experts have long predicted that depression may become the second largest disease that harms humans after cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases .
So can depression be treated? The answer is yes. Don’t be afraid even if you are diagnosed with depression. Depression is not a terminal illness and can be treated.
So we need to know our own and enemy, and we will never be defeated in a hundred battles.
First, please distinguish whether you are depressed or depressed. These two look similar, but they are actually very different.
Depression refers to you feeling unhappy because of temporary pressure, such as not catching the subway, being late to work, being scolded, etc. Everyone will be unhappy about these things.
This depression is temporary. You may disappear after eating a meal, shopping with good friends, and having a nap. You can adjust it yourself. Most depression will disappear within two weeks.
The word "symptom" in depression, the word "disease" means that it is a disease and cannot be recovered by simply shopping, eating, walking.
Simply three criteria for depression. 1. Depression may show depression. 2. It is a bad mood every day and lasts for more than two weeks. 3. It is a state of depression that makes you feel very painful and difficult to get rid of. The overall social function is affected by this state, so you must consider the existence of depression.
Depression is a long-term situation, and may be inadvertent to self-regulate.
So please don’t say to depressed patients: “Look at it openly”, “You just think too much”, “Think about your parents” and so on.
These words have no effect on depressed patients and may even cause secondary harm, because the "thinking too much" in the brain of depressed patients is not controlled by themselves.
The good news is that no matter you or your relatives and friends have depression, please don’t be afraid, because it can be treated.
Currently, the following methods are useful for depression:
1. Go to the psychiatric/psychiatric department of a professional hospital. The doctor will prescribe medicine to you. Drug treatment can reduce your depression time. Maybe when you have a depression attack, you can't get up in bed. Taking medicine may make you feel better.
2. Psychological therapy, also known as "talk therapy", go to a psychological counselor. The conversation between you can redevelop your brain neurons and strive to restore to a healthy level. You can also talk to someone you trust.
3. Timed exercise, yes, the easiest and most cost-effective way, please move, run, play ball, jump exercises, and countless ways to move us can make us happy.
at the end, if you feel that you may have depression, please actively help and see a doctor. This is not a shame, seeking help is the behavior of the strong.
For a long time, everyone has had a hard time, but fortunately they all survived. I hope you can be happy to see this.
