Depression is a very common mental illness with a very high incidence and an upward trend year on year. Once suffering from depression, it will show a series of uncomfortable symptoms such as low mood, which is a great threat to their health.
Therefore, in daily life, once someone has a depressed mood, they think that they have suffered from depression, and they will panic. So, does the presence of depression mean that you have depression?
Is depression the appearance of depression?
To be sure, the presence of depressed emotions does not mean that you have depression, and depressed emotions and depression are two completely different concepts. Depressed mood is just a bad emotional state, while depression is a disease, and the two are very different in nature.
Below, let's take a closer look at the difference between depressed mood and depression.
What is the difference between depressed mood and depression?
First, the causes of depression are different
The causes of depression are very simple, such as when you do not achieve a certain desire, or feel that you are being snubbed by someone, or when you are affected by the weather.
The causes of depression are very complex, in addition to encountering some life events, they are related to psychosocial factors, neurobiochemical factors and other aspects.
Second, the degree of depression is different
Although both depressive mood and depression can manifest as depressive, the degree of depression between the two is completely different. The depression manifested by depressed mood is not very serious, and it lasts for a short time, and it has little impact on health.
Depression is different, after suffering from depression, the patient's depression will persist for a long time, even if communicating with others, this depression will still exist for a long time and will become more and more serious.
Third, the effect of eliminating depressed emotions is different
After the appearance of depression, many people will vent their depression through self-psychological suggestions, or through listening to music, reading books, communicating with others, etc., and this method of venting depression is very effective.
There are many people who are able to completely eliminate depression just by communicating with others for a short time. But if you suffer from depression, this depression cannot be eliminated by any means, and patients are reluctant to communicate and communicate with others. When others communicate with them, they are severely ostracized by people with depression.
Fourth, the accompanying symptoms are different
After the appearance of depression, it is generally not accompanied by other discomforts, and occasionally there is insomnia. But this phenomenon will quickly ease as the depression dissipates.
However, after suffering from depression, patients will not only have long-term depression, but also show very obvious emotional depression, loss of interest and pleasure, and self-blame and self-guilt, and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. In addition, it will be accompanied by a series of abnormalities such as slow response and slow body movements.
All in all, depression and depression are two completely different concepts, so the appearance of depression does not mean that you have suffered from depression, there are the above 4 differences between the two.
However, it is worth noting that if the long-term depression is not eliminated in time, coupled with some other adverse factors to stimulate, it is very likely to gradually develop into depression.
Therefore, when depression occurs, in addition to paying attention to the adjustment of self-mentality, you can go to the hospital and carry out some appropriate drug treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
And every day to pay attention to some outdoor exercise, more communication with others, but also to maintain enough sleep time every day, can effectively eliminate depression, to avoid the role of depression.
