After psychological problems occur, such as depression , there will be various symptoms and various physical and mental pains. Then, the first thing we think of at this time is to relieve the pain, treat symptomatically, and eliminate the symptoms. This is of course correct, but this is only the first step of treatment.
Take depression as an example. After the symptoms are alleviated and eliminated, the treatment does not end here, and treatment must continue. This is a key point, very important, and it is also a pitfall that many people can easily step on.
According to the medical concept of full-course treatment of depression, the treatment of depression must go through the acute phase to eliminate symptoms, which is called clinical cure . After that, there are four stages of treatment: consolidation period, maintenance period and termination of treatment.
At the same time, after the symptoms are eliminated, professional psychological treatment must be actively started, mainly targeting factors related to the psychological quality of depression, such as irrational cognition and unreasonable behavior patterns.
More importantly, we must establish a reasonable treatment concept for depression: that is, treating people, not just eliminating symptoms.
What is treating people?
The subjects suffering from depression are people with personalities and different traits. In other words, it is "people" who cause psychological problems, not just a specific psychological problem or symptom. Therefore, the purpose of eliminating symptoms does not necessarily truly and comprehensively solve the problem.
Many patients with depression are still prone to relapse after their symptoms are eliminated, or after being cured many times. This is because they only eliminate the symptoms, but the real psychological problems are not solved. In the process of treating depression,
uses multiple methods from multiple angles to jointly treat depression, and the effect is obviously better than using a single method. In particular, conscious self-treatment will be more effective and conducive to preventing recurrence. These also prove from another perspective that just eliminating symptoms is not enough.
There are many and complex factors for depression. For a specific individual, although the symptoms are similar, the causes may not be the same. Specific analysis shows that some people have more physiological factors, such as genetic factors and persistent fatigue; some people have more external psychological factors. For example, continuous pressure, stimulation by unexpected events; some people have more internal psychological factors, such as character, personality factors, irrational cognition, and defects in coping models;
will give a more specific analysis, taking irrational cognition as an example. Each depressed patient with irrational cognition may be different and specific. For example, black and white, excessive absolutes, generalizations, catastrophizing ideas, negative perfectionism, etc. If these irrational cognitions and the irrational behavior patterns derived from these cognitions always exist, then various negative emotions will continue to occur, and the accumulation of these negative emotions will lead to depression.
Therefore, a true and thorough treatment of depression should include all aspects related to the above-mentioned etiological factors for patients with depression. This is therapy for people!
In addition, it should be noted that for each specific depressed person, the factors leading to depression may be unique, personalized and differentiated.
For example, some people have irrational cognition, some people have insufficient emotional control and psychological quality, some people are related to long-term lack of physical exercise, some people are related to unhealthy lifestyles, and some people may have problems with the rhythm of life because they do not pay attention to scientific brain use, do not pay attention to rest, etc.
The above factors are all factors that may be related to depression, and these factors can be improved through one's own efforts and the help of others. So, these processes that make people mentally healthier and better are psychological treatments for people.
Some friends may realize that to provide so-called treatment and help to people, we need to change something inherent in a person, or in other words, this is to change a person! This is very difficult!
This is indeed the case. However, the factors that lead to depression, especially depression in adults, are closely related to a person's inherent character, personality, reaction habits, psychological quality and behavioral patterns.
These are indeed not easy to change. It is said that the situation is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. It is precisely for this reason that depression often seems to be difficult to cure, and even if it is cured, it is easy to relapse. These characteristics also confirm the above content.
In fact, some personal traits related to depression have obvious irrational or irrational characteristics. As long as the patient himself is aware of it and is willing to change, at the same time, with professional methods and the help of others, although it is difficult, it can still be changed.
In order to completely cure depression and reduce the recurrence of depression, it is very worthwhile to treat people according to the above concepts and help patients change these factors related to depression!
It is of course difficult to change a person, but it may not be necessary to completely change. As long as a little bit or a part of it can be changed, a person's psychological quality will be changed to a great extent, and the person can be cured, and the relapse will be reduced or no longer possible.
Therefore, in the treatment process of depression, we must first eliminate the symptoms, and then we must establish the concept of "treating people" to help patients with depression comprehensively improve their psychological quality. This is the real treatment of depression, a thorough treatment.
