Depression can be called a "fashionable" disease of this era.
Almost every once in a while, various public figures appear in hot searches and appear in news reports due to depression.
As early as a few years ago, the National Health Organization listed depression as the disabling disease that was not the first in the world.
At present, there are about 300 million depressed patients in the world, and the harm of this disease is even far more than that of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes and other seemingly more "fatal diseases".
There are also many causes of depression, but a recent survey report may surprise many people.
Still doing the low-headed people? Adults who watch the screen for more than 6 hours a day are susceptible to depression
Recently, according to media reports: a considerable amount of data shows that the way --- sedentary and looking at the screen is one of the important risk factors for depression.
According to Popular Science China, more and more data show that --- adults brush their mobile phones and watch TV for more than 6 hours a day will greatly increase the risk of depression.
In a 2017 study to demonstrate this idea, researchers used 3,201 U.S. adults over the age of 20 as participants to accumulate screen time by self-reporting daily TV watching, as well as using computers in their spare time.
The data showed that about 8% of the respondents suffered from moderate or severe depression, and participants who used screens for more than 6 hours had a higher probability of developing moderate or major depression than those who used it for 4-6 hours.
In addition, the researchers also found that if you use your screen for too long, you will have more sleep problems and your ability to resist stress will also be affected, which in turn will increase depression or anxiety.
Depression is really not a small thing
Depression is a mental hazard that does not cause any damage to the health of the body, but it is more serious, and the mental damage is also dangerous than the physical damage.
It will continue to emit negative emotions to people, let people be tortured without defense, and with continuous depression, the impact on people will become more and more large, especially people with fragile psychological defenses, often have the idea of taking their own lives, and will also reduce people's resistance.
What are the main manifestations of depression?
First: depression
Depressed people feel depressed for most of the day, as can be seen from two points.
One is subjective expression, such as the patient feeling empty, sad, and showing negative emotions about anything;
The other is the observation of others, such as others see that depressed people like to cry, often silently shed tears, the main manifestation of adolescents is emotional impatience.
Second: No interest in anything
Everyone has their own interests and hobbies, but for people with depression, their lives are particularly boring and they have no interest in anything.
And depressed people often have a sentence "it's really boring" on their lips, which can also be seen from this that they have no interest in many things in life and can't find what they like to do.
Third: Think you're incompetent
One of the mantras that this type of patient often hangs on the lips is "I'm useless."
Most depressed people maintain a negative attitude towards themselves, thinking that they can't do anything, don't know why they want to live, see others as excellent, they are the exception, and it seems that they came to this world to make up the number of people, and they can't find any meaning at all.
In fact, it is mainly because patients do not find their own value, do not know what they can do, what they will do, so from time to time there will be a sentence such as "I am useless".
Depression is not shameful, timely intervention is the right way
Depression is a serious state of illness, and unlike ordinary "sad" emotions, depressed people are not lazy or simply self-blamed.
It is essentially a mental illness that accompanies changes in the brain and, like other diseases, can be relieved by symptoms after proper treatment.
Therefore, most of the treatments that take the initiative to receive medical intervention to alleviate them can be successfully recovered, and the most effective treatment is pharmacotherapy combined with psychotherapy.
Depression, without shame, it can be cured.
