Hanako saw a news item in which a 41-year-old man in a suit hanged himself from a tree in Haikou Park on Feb. 16. Leaving a 36-word suicide note, "Thank you for your hard work, do not waste any resources to investigate, it is a problem in my heart, please do not call my parents." On the side of the mobile phone interface, also left a sentence, "Don't save me, I am committing suicide." ”
After Huazi saw it, she sighed. From the suicide note of the middle-aged man, it can be seen that he should have a good upbringing, and the words are soaked with courtesy, but in the four seasons, facing the sea, he firmly chose death. How desolate is his heart?
First, hidden and terrible depression
As can be seen from the suicide note, the middle-aged man suffers from severe depression. Many netizens are speculating about what crushed him, And Huazi doesn't know what he's been through, but as a peer, Huazi understands him. Every middle-aged man lives a life of old age and small age, and what crushes the camel is never the last straw, but the pressure that cannot be escaped all the time.
Under such pressure, it is easy to breed depression. Everyone who has experienced depression, mental health, will come out of it in a week or so. But for depressed patients, it is a nightmare that is difficult to extricate themselves from, and can only be immersed in it endlessly.
Physical diseases are easy to diagnose and treat, but psychological diseases are very insidious. It is difficult to be understood by relatives and friends, and it is considered to be "pretentious" and "pretending to be sick". Many depressed patients will choose to hide their condition and "pretend" to live a normal life. They have relatives, friends, and even lovers and children, but they will end up alone.
According to epidemiological statistics, the proportion of depression in the population is about 11%, but only 3% of people who seek medical treatment, and most depressed patients are struggling to survive on their own. Some of them will choose to go to extremes after their illness worsens, so depression is also a terrible disease.
Second, when these manifestations occur, we should beware of depression
1, lose interest: not interested in everything around, food, shopping can not arouse desire, in a particularly "mournful" state, want to cry, and no tears, feel that nothing is interesting.
2, slow action: their own movements will become slower, such as walking slowly, eating slowly, and even thinking and language will become slower.
3, moody: losing control of emotions, a little thing will make you angry, a little stimulation will make you sad, to give others the feeling, is to become an unreasonable person.
4, sleep disorders: difficulty falling asleep, or easy to wake up early after falling asleep, which is a typical symptom of anxiety disorders, and people with depression will be 100% accompanied by anxiety symptoms.
5, weight loss: depression will cause loss of appetite, even such an important thing as eating, have become dispensable, eat or not eat it does not matter.
Third, how to stay away from depression
Regular exercise is a great way to stay away from depression, when the body's muscles give positive feedback to the brain, and the resulting endorphins can relieve emotional stress and make yourself happy. A related study at Massachusetts General Hospital in the United States confirmed that the more exercise you do every day, the lower the risk of depression.
Spend more time in the sun during the day and do more outdoor activities. Humans have the genetic memory of "sunrise and sunset", and under the stimulation of sunlight, the release of dopamine in the brain increases. When at night, sleep-promoting melatonin also increases the amount of release, allowing people to get a good night's sleep and thus stay away from depression.
Correctly understand depression, when you have a manifestation of suspected depression, do not suppress yourself, and do not endure alone. Instead, understand that you may just be sick. It is necessary to actively seek help from the psychologist, and through "talk therapy" with the doctor, you can reduce the psychological burden and soothe the emotions.
Do not refuse to use drugs, people with depression, serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine and other neurotransmitters in the brain will be disordered, using the corresponding drugs to adjust the level of transmitters, you can quickly get out of the depressed state, let yourself return to normal. Medication requires long-term adherence, and do not stop the medication arbitrarily during treatment.
To sum up, maintaining regular exercise and getting more sun can prevent depression. Everyone may suffer from depression, and if you find that your emotions are abnormal, you should actively seek medical treatment and use antidepressant drugs under the guidance of a doctor, which can be completely cured.
