I have been battling the disease for many years.
As soon as the news came out,
While netizens mourned,
It also raises the following doubts:
People who seem sunny and cheerful,
Why do I also get depression?
It has been reported that 1 in 10 people worldwide have underlying depression and depressive tendencies, and 65% of them have had suicidal thoughts. In 2019, Professor Huang Yueqin's team of Peking University Sixth Hospital published a study in The Lancet Psychiatry for the first time that women accounted for about 65% of depression patients in mainland China, and 67% of depression patients were over 35 years old.
If a person's mood is not good, there may be manifestations such as not wanting to talk, not wanting to go out, and not wanting to change clothes. In the items of "home, lazy, annoying, mobile phone does not leave the body, body dissatisfaction, no hobbies", if you meet more than 4 items, you may have depression.
You can test whether you are at risk of depression through the depression assessment scale, the PHQ-9 scale, which is a professional test scale from Columbia University in the United States, although it is only 9 simple questions, it has a sensitivity of 88% to screen for depression.
