Cultivate the most interesting and practical psychology every day
Since ancient times, our country has been accustomed to including people's faces, expressions and other factors in judging one of the factors that judge a person's personality, and actively judging a person's personality and psychological state through a person's appearance, and some even associate their fate and future with their faces.
Although people will feel a little godlike when they hear this now, there is a certain basis for this. For example, people's recent encounters affect an individual's mental state, while a person's mental state is reflected through the face.
If a person comes in and is surrounded by good things and happy events, then the person's mental state will be very good, the mood will be very happy, the facial expression will naturally exude joy, and the facial muscles will be lifted.
But if a person has been unlucky in the near future, and there is no one thing that can make him happy, then the person's mental state will be more trance, the mood will be lower, reflected in their expression, it must be a clue, the brow is wrinkled.
And what kind of state and characteristics will the faces of people who have been plagued by depression, or who are living under the torment of depression, show?
First, extra tired
Insomnia has been bothering depressed patients, some people have poor sleep quality, some are occasional insomnia, some are often sleepless, and every night is the darkest and most difficult time of the day.
Lying in bed every night, with a headache but unable to sleep, all kinds of trivial chores during the day will continue to come to mind, all kinds of thoughts are constantly entangled in the brain, even if you have felt very tired, but you can't sleep.
When the individual is resting, the functions of the body will enter a dormant state, and the body organs, brain, and skin will also enter a state of "slow operation".
At this time, people will become sensitive to external reactions. The purpose of this is to allow the individual's body to get a full rest and offset the fatigue caused by the operation of the body during the day.
Wait until the second day to be full of vitality, and to ensure the health of the body, and in order to prepare for the next day's work, which is what we often call "recuperation", only by getting enough rest, the efficiency of the next day's work will be higher.
In addition to the body functions and various organs mainly in the process of sleep to get enough rest, the brain is more in need of rest, because during the day, the brain stores too much information, too much brain storm, has been very tired, but the subjective consciousness of the individual is difficult to consciously get.
Depressed patients do not get a good rest because of long-term insomnia, or even a long period of time can not sleep normally, therefore, the brain and various organs are difficult to get normal rest, so that the overall state of the individual is very poor.
What is manifested on the face is the skin is dull yellow, dark circles, eye bags are obvious, acne, etc., in the action is also relatively slow, the response to external stimuli is obviously slower.
Second, the emotions are negative
In addition to the physical aspects that will be greatly affected, for depressed patients, the inner damage is the greatest. Depression will make the individual's spirit tormented, therefore, they usually look dim, every day a bitter and vengeful look, even from their faces can feel their negative emotions, from the inside out to exude a feeling of depression.
According to the relevant research results, people with depression or who have suffered from depression are more inclined to pay attention to negative things when communicating with others, and they will even actively refuse to participate in active life, have no nostalgia for life, and have no feelings for anyone.
Negative things For cancer patients, negative things will follow them, so that they simply can not face life in a positive state, as long as they encounter a little negative thing, their negative emotions will be amplified, therefore, they will always face life and the future with a negative mentality.
Therefore, depressed patients are more likely to be swayed by emotions, unwilling to interact with people, unwilling to contact with the outside world, which will also lead to their smaller exercise and weaker body.
Along with this, their minds will involuntarily think all the time, and the mental consumption is extremely high, so that even if they rarely engage in activities, they still look very tired and haggard.
It is unfortunate to be plagued by depression, and it is also unfortunate to be plagued by negative emotions all the time, and such emotions will inevitably appear on the face.
Therefore, when we meet a depressed person, even if we don't know that he has depression, we will obviously feel that his overall state is not good.
If you have such friends and relatives around you, you must remember that their hearts are very fragile, and for the sake of their health and safety, you must be more considerate and tolerant of them.
