1. Because he suspected that he had new crown pneumonia, an elderly man in his 60s repeatedly washed his hands, wiped the floor with alcohol every day, and repeatedly sought medical treatment to confirm that there was no infection and good physical condition, but still did not dispel his doubts. He may have suffered from "hypochondria", which, more specifically, could be called "hypochondria of COVID-19". "Suspicious disease" is essentially "anxiety disorder for disease", it has the common manifestations of anxiety disorders, such as excessive nervousness, worry, fear of results, accompanied by panic, chest tightness, shortness of breath and other autonomic hyperfunction symptoms. The "new crown pneumonia suspicious disease" is nothing more than excessive worry about the new crown pneumonia, excessive examination, even if there is no clear contact history, it cannot prevent it from repeatedly seeking medical treatment and seeking verification. Therefore, in most people's cognition, "suspicious disease" is not good, and people should abandon it. But today I want to talk about the benefits of "suspicious diseases", Evolutionary Psychology points out the significance of anxiety to human survival, it allows people to identify dangers and make "fight or flight" responses. Similarly, "suspected diseases" can make people more sensitive to a certain disease, so that people can detect early, diagnose early, and treat early. We can see "suspicious disease" as a continuous spectrum, its opposite is those "do not take health seriously", it is not difficult to see such people around, such as not caring about the damage of tobacco and alcohol to the body; obviously overweight, but still can not control the mouth. Therefore, for different groups of people, or different periods, the state of "suspected disease" should also fluctuate and change, not be immutable.

2, an anxiety patient in half a month ago accidentally saw the news of new crown pneumonia, uncontrollably worried about being infected, behavior showed repeated cleaning, dare not take the bus subway, Ta will repeatedly ask the surrounding "I will not be infected with Covid-19 bar", and expect to get a reply that is sure that it will not be infected, but no matter how the family and doctors explain comfort, Ta can not control their panic, and believe that the fear of new crown pneumonia will continue. But half a month later, he came to the clinic, and the fear of the new crown had dissipated, and I wondered how this could be? Ta explained that "after taking various means of transportation, I am still fine, there is no sign of infection, so naturally I am no longer worried." The two states before and after are almost like two people, but such a statement does not convince me, I continued to ask, ta said " in fact, because of the recent relationship with friends has a problem, all day long trouble, this is not time and energy to take care of the new crown pneumonia." Neurotic patients are accustomed to this, when encountering a certain dilemma, feel that life will be stuck in this can not go, and then there are all kinds of anxiety, compulsion, suspicious diseases and other troubles, but the accidental situation can make ta such a relief, but the general "good times are not long", after a few days will repeat the same mistakes, but change the soup without changing the medicine. For neurotics, it is advisable to look back on past experiences, you may find yourself just spending time in one "cycle of anxiety" after another, so is it necessary to have these troubles?

3, the new pneumonia news to see more, always feel that they have symptoms of infection, how to adjust the mentality? I once wrote about suspicious diseases - increasing the exposure of a certain information in a short period of time may increase the sense of suspicion. Almost all social media has been following this matter for the past week, so it is normal that there is a suspicion that they have "new pneumonia", and almost everyone has become sensitive to fever and cough. What we ordinary people can do first must be to do a good job of protection, wear masks, wash hands frequently, and reduce the chance of exposure; secondly, we cannot overcorrect, we cannot be paralyzed because we know that we have a suspicious disease; and finally we must distinguish the difference between the common cold and the new type of pneumonia. On this basis, learn to relax the mentality, stay at home can also make life richer, not only the epidemic deserves our attention, watching a few books that have not been able to start reading before, picking a few movies that have not been able to sink down to watch, or playing games, are good choices. To sum up, you can't pay attention to it, you can't pay too much attention to it, and learn to divert your attention.
