For modern people, brushing mobile phones is an indispensable thing in life.
And as humanity becomes increasingly dependent on the otherworldly comforts of high technology, it ignores the long-term damage that electronics may be most proud of to humans' brains.
Brush your phone to relax? People who look at screens for more than 6 hours a day are more likely to be depressed
According to media reports, as more and more evidence is given that a sedentary computer and TV lifestyle is an important risk factor for depression.
In a 2017 study, the results of the experiment were shown: Adults who watched screens for more than 6 hours a day were more likely to suffer from depression.
The researchers used 3,201 U.S. adults aged 20 and older as subjects to analyze the results of the depression questionnaire based on their daily feedback of watching television every day or using screen time accumulated in their spare time.
The data showed that about 8% of the respondents had moderate and major depression, and the participants who used screens for more than 6 hours, or the participants who used for 4-9 hours, had a higher probability of developing moderate and major depression.
The results of another study dovetail with this conclusion: Adults with higher screen time have more insomnia disorders, which in turn affects their ability to cope with stress and increases the probability of depression or anxiety.
What are the manifestations of depression?
Although depression is a psychological disease, it can also endanger physical health, and when it is severe, patients will have suicidal tendencies, which seriously threatens the lives of patients.
After depression occurs, patients will have some obvious symptoms, once these symptoms appear, we must pay attention to it, carry out treatment in time, and control depression, so as to prevent further deterioration of the condition.
First, slow thinking
In the early stages of depression, patients may have symptoms of slow thinking, which is slow to respond to others and even appears to be very slow in severe cases. This symptom is more pronounced at work and can lead to a decrease in patient productivity.
In addition, the patient's memory and attention are also significantly reduced, and the efficiency of processing things is greatly reduced.
Second, the mood is low
People encounter some unsatisfactory things in life, and the mood will inevitably appear low, which is also a normal phenomenon, and this emotion will not last long.
However, if you are depressed, you may be in an inexplicable low mood and last for a long time.
Such patients are not interested in things, prone to weakness and helplessness, always feel that life is not fun, and can not find the meaning of life.
3. Avoid socializing
Patients with depression usually do not like to communicate with others, and there are obvious manifestations of avoidance of social interaction.
Patients usually never take the initiative to communicate with others, always come and go alone, face the enthusiasm of others will appear helpless, stressful, prefer to stay alone, rather than spend energy with others to socialize.
Fourth, the quality of sleep is not good
Patients often have difficulty falling asleep at night, and even if they fall asleep successfully, they are prone to waking up in the middle of the night.
Some patients also have the performance of dreams, always feel that life is hopeless after waking up, and it is difficult to fall asleep for a long time after waking up in the middle of the night.
5. Anorexia
There is a close relationship between mood and appetite. Patients with depression can affect their appetite due to being in negative emotions for a long time, and they have no desire to eat after seeing food, even if they have been particularly fond of eating food before, they are not interested.
Long-term poor appetite can lead to nutritional deficiencies, resulting in low immunity and weight loss.
Sixth, panic, chest tightness
Depressed patients can often feel that they have panic and chest tightness, but when they go to the hospital for examination, the body does not have any organic diseases, and when this happens, we must also be vigilant about whether we are suffering from depression.
Although depression is not a problem with one organ of the body, it is no less harmful than other serious diseases.
Fortunately, depression can be cured, it is not caused by personal personality or psychological defects, and ordinary comfort is only harmful to depressed people.
Therefore, in dealing with depression, we should actively take corresponding psychological interventions or drug treatment as we do with other diseases.
In a word, depression, not humiliating, can be cured!
