Nineteen years from winter to spring, and to April 1 of the year, I have not seen it in my life, and I miss it for a lifetime.
Perhaps many people have forgotten that today is The 19th Anniversary of Zhang Guorong, who fell from the 24th floor of the Oriental Mandarin Hotel in Hong Kong 19 years ago due to depression...
And this leap not only left regrets for countless fans and friends, but also made many people realize the terrible nature of depression.
Probably 1 in 10 people is suffering from depression
According to official data provided by WHO, the prevalence of depression in mainland China is currently as high as 4.2%, which is comparable to the global prevalence of 4.4%.
According to conservative estimates, there are currently at least 54 million people with depression on the mainland, and the proportion of these people who receive medical treatment is less than 20%.

Patients with depression, what abnormal symptoms will appear in the body during the onset of the disease?
If you just think that depression is just a bad mood for a long time, it is actually really limited.
Compared with ordinary sadness, depressed people are constantly caught up in self-blame for themselves, and lose all interest in the source of joy that they once had, so that they will behave like this:
First, the brain responds abnormally
When a patient has a depression attack, some of the daily performance behaviors can be well reflected, the most typical of which is the slow response of the brain and the slow behavior.
The brain function of depressed patients is affected by depressive mood, which reduces brain function, and such people will also be accompanied by memory loss, slow thinking and other situations.
Therefore, it is necessary to improve depression in time through reasonable measures, taking drugs, diverting attention, etc. The improvement of depression is also quite beneficial.
Only when depression is controlled can the patient's performance of decreased brain function improve.
Second, emotional abnormalities
During the onset of the disease, patients with depression generally have a variety of abnormal emotions such as depression and pessimism and world-weariness.
Serious or even suicidal psychology or behavior, especially patients who often have such emotions, indicating that depression is already very serious, it is best to go to the hospital immediately.
The development of depression is controlled through reasonable treatment, and only when depression is controlled, pessimistic and world-weary psychological changes can be improved.
Third, general malaise
When depression occurs, the patient's body will have a variety of adverse symptoms, such as dizziness, loss of appetite, insomnia, which seriously affect the patient's work and life.
Patients need to be treated early and learn to control their emotions in time, so that they can better reduce the frequency and frequency of depression attacks.
Of course, these are just the tip of the iceberg of the early symptoms of depression, and there are many physical changes brought about by depression, so just simply comparing this article or other tests provided on the Internet can not get a definite answer.
However, if these symptoms occur for a long time, which seriously affects normal life and work, then you need to go to a professional psychiatric hospital institution in time to receive a professional diagnosis.
Depression is not caused by introversion or defects
Many people always think that only introverts are more likely to be depressed, but according to data from psychologists and psychiatrists, the occurrence of depression has nothing to do with introversion.
The misfortunes and setbacks that occur in life are not the causes of depression, but the mental stress caused by these events "pulls" the "depression trigger" that already exists in the brain, thus triggering a series of emotional, sleep, dietary and cognitive function disorders and disorders.
Depression can be cured and not disgraced
Eason Chan's song "Lonely Patient" once said:
"I am a crying ghost with emotional disease, an optimistic person on the surface, and occasionally many feelings, not unsatisfied, I am content. But there was a sullen breath in my heart, and I was very sad. ”
For people with depression, they are just sick, not pretentious, not cowardly, and they need effective medical intervention.
Depression is not your fault, it is like a cold, it is not shameful, it can be cured!
It's April 1 of the year again, and if you're still here, spring should be fine; let the wind continue to blow, and you can't bear to stay away.
19 years have passed, the wind continues to blow, and the song you left behind is still in the world.
