public: I heard that you have depression? Hey, today's young people have very low ability to withstand stress and have never experienced hardship. Listen to my sister's advice, who has never been depressed? Today, I will teach you how to be a good person, get out of depression, and reach the peak of life!
my: Sister, please teach me, what should I do if I have depression? Money can cure everything. I’ll give you 10 million. Sister, I guarantee you won’t be depressed and can still smile from ear to ear every day. Then you don’t need to open the psychological clinic in the hospital. Instead, you can treat the disease by giving money. How simple!
Volkswagen : This disease is caused by being pampered!
and : Yes, yes, you are right, then has heart disease and is also caused by worrying!
public: Tell me about this shameful disease. Are you worthy of the parents who raised you? You are being unfilial, how sad they must be.
我: Is it unfilial to be sick? Then why don't you tell a cancer patient, eh, your cancer is because you are sorry for your parents and your family, and your cancer is because you are unfilial and lack education. Why do real depressed patients be so desperate that they end their lives?
Volkswagen : What kind of real depression is this? Just pretend it for me! Isn’t it just ordinary that you can’t think about things and are in a bad mood?
my: If I didn’t end my life, it wouldn’t be considered real depression. If the cancer cells hadn’t spread throughout the body, it wouldn’t be called cancer!
Public : You always say that depression is a disease, it is a disease. I think it is not depression, or it is caused by one's own pretentiousness. my: Then why did the Education Bureau include depression screening in student physical examinations some time ago? Do you think they value our mental health, or do they want to see how many troubled students there are in our school? Hey, let him be investigated, let the whole class isolate him, let the whole class accuse him of being hypocritical and cowardly? What do you think is the reason? If students with this kind of depression are found out, they should be discouraged and asked to drop out of school, so as not to delay my children's learning. Hey, I'm curious about a question. Has your child ever had diarrhea?
Volkswagen : Pull it over, what’s wrong? Has everyone had diarrhea?
My : Oh, then he was found to have diarrhea, so he should be dismissed.
Public : Why? Isn't it just a matter of illness? Wouldn't it be enough to just go to the hospital and be cured? Isn't that what it's like?
my: That doesn’t make sense to you. Isn’t depression also a disease? Can't it be cured by going to the hospital? Is that what it is?
public: If it were my child and he told me that he had depression, I would give him a good beating. How could he be so pretentious?
my: I feel really sad for your child. He is sick. Instead of caring, your parents blame and criticize.
mass : Depression, what is depression? What is there to sympathize with? I am so tired from going to work every day. Hey, he has been complaining here since he went to school. He cannot endure hardship and lacks education.
my: If your child is sick, do you want to take him or her to see him? It must be a health problem and cannot be ignored. Depression is also a health problem.
Volkswagen : No way?
我: Is it possible that there are still people who don’t know why hospitals have psychology departments? Is there anyone out there who doesn’t know why schools require universal mental health teachers?
Volkswagen : I just don’t understand. Why can you be depressed? Now that you are well fed and clothed, why are you still not satisfied?
my: Depression is a problem with the emotional regulation mechanism in the brain. No matter how well you live and you have a fortune of tens of millions or hundreds of millions, if you don’t get cured here, you still won’t be happy.Let me ask you a question, have you ever caught a cold?
Public : I caught a cold a few days ago and got better. Hey, it’s winter recently. I caught a little bit of cold. It’s a bit cold.
Me : Then aren’t you well fed and clothed? Why do you still catch cold when you are warm? I am really dissatisfied. I am wearing such thick clothes and I can’t control my sneezing. I am wearing thick clothes, but this is a cold. Sister, I can’t control my sneezing when I have a cold. Isn’t it normal? Yes, since they are all sick, you have a cold and you can’t control your sneezing. I am depressed and I can’t control my emotions. Emotions, we are all patients. Why can't you control it? It's just excusable. I can't control it. I will be scolded by you for being dissatisfied.
Public : Hey, you are so young. What have you experienced? You are not depressed. You are just making excuses for your laziness
My : You can tell whether someone is depressed or sick based on their age. I think you should just go to the hospital and hire an expert to consult. He is a miracle doctor.
Public : I eat more rice than you eat salt, and you are still young. , you don’t understand what depression is
I : You eat more rice than I eat salt. Hey, with such a rich life experience, it would be a pity not to write a novel. I have already thought of a name for you. Let’s call it the anti-depressant miracle doctor who is the anti-depression doctor. Wow, this name sounds grand when you hear it. The future development of medicine depends on you, come on
Volkswagen : There is no such thing as depression. The reason is that you are too idle and prone to random thoughts. I have read many, many inspirational articles, and let me tell you, as long as you stay busy, you will not be depressed!
I : Let me give you a piece of medical common sense for free. The World Health Organization clearly defines the existence of depression in the International Classification of Diseases . So as a new era person in the 21st century, do you believe in scientific medicine and ? Or do you believe in inspirational chicken soup literature that everyone can relate to?
Public : You are so full that you have nothing to do. When the older generation is hungry and full, no one is depressed. Starve you for a week and see if you are still depressed.
Me : That’s great. Now, I listen to you. I will try to starve for a week now. What are you doing? Scientific institutions all over the world are still studying the treatment of depression. According to your statement, as long as we suffer from depression for a week, we will treat it and our disease will be cured. This is good news that everyone is united in, and a medical problem that can be overcome, so you wait for me to give it a try. You wait for me to try for a week. If I succeed, I will come back and tell you. You should publish a medical academic paper as soon as possible. This kind of good thing, this kind of good thing such as winning a medical award, must not let others take the lead. Hurry up.
Public : Why can others control their emotions, but you, a depressed patient, can’t? The bottom line is that your ability to withstand stress is low.
我: Why can other people have a healthy body, but this does not work for leukemia patients? Why can other people's white blood cells obey orders without causing lesions, but the leukemia patients' white blood cells cannot be obedient?
Volkswagen : In the final analysis, the ability to control oneself is weak. Was there depression in ancient times? Do the older generation suffer from depression when they don’t have enough to eat or clothing to keep warm?
我: Just because it’s not defined doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Before the new crown was defined, everyone thought it was not an infectious disease, but just a common cough, cold, and fever. Unfortunately, depression has been defined for decades, and some people still don’t believe in science.
This is an article that I have suppressed for a long time and wanted to refute the prejudice against depression. In order to write this article! Depression is a disease like cold, cough and fever.
It's not what you call pretentious and cowardly, and it's not about being too young, ignorant, unable to endure hardships, or having low stress resistance. It’s not that if mental illness is replaced by a physical illness, no one will have so many prejudices.
Unfortunately, many people now would rather believe in chicken soup literature that can be picked up by just a few people on the street than to believe in modern medicine. I am Qinghua, and the road to popularizing psychological science is long and arduous. If you see any other prejudices, you don’t know how to deal with them! You are welcome to post it in our comment area, so that everyone can brainstorm and think about how to refute them. If anyone still has a prejudice against depression, please forward this article to him.
