About depression,
You need to know this.
Depression and depression are two different things
Mistake "depression" for "depression" is common in China. At present, the competition pressure in all walks of life is high, and the pace of life is accelerating, so people with depression can be seen everywhere. In addition, postpartum endocrine function decline, personal experience of the disaster scene, etc. can also trigger depression. However, having depression does not mean having depression.
In fact, depression is just a negative emotion, a normal and natural psychological phenomenon. Instead, depression is a disease that centers on inner impulses and mentally functional disorders.
5 red flags for depression in the early stages

Long-term insomnia: difficulty falling asleep, and even when falling asleep, it seems to be in a conscious state.
Physical discomfort: body pain, dizziness, fatigue, poor appetite, and other symptoms.
Cognitive impairment: memory loss, inability to focus at work and study, etc.
Suicidal tendencies: sensitive and fragile inside.
Depression can be cured
According to a number of 10 domestic studies, 16 out of 1,000 people suffer from depression, and in a year, every 1,000 people, an additional 23 people will suffer from the disease; the probability of depression in rural areas is 2%, higher than the 1.7% in cities. However, only a small percentage of patients currently seek medical help.

Stress and a fast pace of life are not triggers

Malnutrition in infancy, abuse experienced in childhood, bereavement, poor living conditions, lack of care for relatives and other adverse social environments have an important impact on the occurrence of depression.
