Expert interpretation: The epidemic situation is repeated, how to do a good job of psychological adjustment?

In the case of repeated epidemics, the psychology of some people will be impacted, resulting in symptoms such as anger, anxiety, panic, and insomnia. How do I make psychological adjustments?

On April 18, the reporter interviewed Wang Liqun, a member of the Psychology and Psychiatry Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association and director of the Department of Psychiatry of Xi'an Red Cross Hospital.

During the pandemic, each of us knows the need to keep a safe distance from others, but that doesn't mean isolating ourselves. Through the telephone, the Internet and relatives, friends, colleagues and other people who can bring positive emotions to communicate and chat, chat topics can choose more pleasant, positive events, in order to strengthen psychological support. Under the epidemic prevention policy of upgrading control, it is necessary to reduce going out, which also makes some people anxious. Wang Liqun said that at this time, it is still necessary to look at life positively, maintain the original life schedule as much as possible, live according to the original rhythm of life, and maintain a normal life trajectory. On this basis, through moderate exercise, balanced diet, and adequate sleep, we can improve our immunity, resistance, and emotional control.

Abdominal breathing is also a way to relax us. You can think of your stomach as a balloon, when you inhale, your stomach is blown full of gas like a balloon, and as you inhale, the "balloon" gradually bulges up. When you can't inhale anymore, slowly release the gas from your stomach little by little, just like the gas of a balloon is released. Keep the whole process as slow as possible and practice every day for 5-10 minutes at a time.

If the above methods cannot be adjusted, and the negative emotions persist, or even continue to aggravate, generalize and affect daily life, work, etc., it is necessary to be vigilant against the development of negative emotions in the direction of the disease, and actively seek professional psychological counseling for help. Many people may be afraid to go to psychological counseling, thinking that it is a place where people with mental illness go, but it is not. The main object of psychological counseling is normal people, focusing on dealing with people's normal needs and problems, and you only need help.
