Depression is not a disease, but a physical symptom. My grandfather told me that depression is a sign of physical weakness and the need to borrow energy from God.
My grandfather was a Chinese medicine practitioner. He told me that people who are physically weak are prone to depression because the body lacks energy. In clinical practice, I have met countless patients with anxiety and depression, and their experiences have convinced me that this is true.
Overall, there are four main reasons why people are depressed.
The first is that social factors such as a fast-paced life, intense work pressure, and a lack of positive coping strategies or personality flaws can all contribute to people's reduced stress tolerance.
Secondly, there are family factors such as divorce of parents, widowhood, marital discord and other family disharmony, which increase psychological pressure and increase the risk of depression. In addition, if parents often adopt a critical or aggressive attitude when educating their children, it can also have long-term adverse effects on their children's mental health.
The third reason is personal factors. In today's highly competitive society, life, work, and study are under tremendous pressure. People who are introverted or withdrawn in the face of these pressures may be more likely to suffer from depression.
Finally, other factors can also contribute to depression. For example, negative childhood experiences, the use of certain medications, or a physical illness may trigger depression.
I once met a patient who was very depressed. He had a bad family relationship and seemed cold and depressed. She felt weak all over, couldn't concentrate, had trouble falling asleep, and woke up easily.
After carefully inquiring about his medical history, I prescribed medication:
Bupleurum chinensis, Scutellaria baicalensis, Banxia, Poria cocos, Xinyi, Xanthium, Calcutta, mother-of-pearl, Acacia bark, magnet, Schisandra, Calamus, Yuanzhi, Yuanzhi, Xinxi, Guizi
After taking more than 20 doses, the patient's condition improved. Eventually, he regained his composure and began to return to school. He also told me that he is now more confident about his future.
Why are people who are physically weak prone to depression? This is because their bodies have very little energy. When the human body is low in energy, people will experience symptoms such as mental fatigue, dizziness, depression, unconsciousness, poor sleep quality, and heavy psychological burden. These problems, in turn, can make people more likely to fall into a vicious cycle of negativity.
Treatment of this type of depression should replenish the body's energy and improve the emotional state. I recommend the use of traditional Chinese medicine to reconcile qi and blood and balance yin and yang, and in terms of Western medicine, I recommend both psychological counseling and medication, and in addition, it is very important for patients to improve their lifestyle, go out and talk more, and communicate with others. Necessary.
Finally, I hope that my experience and insights will be helpful to you. If you need help or have any other questions that need answers, please leave me a message and I will do my best to provide you with help and support beyond the consultation. #抑郁症#
