Many investors were deeply affected
No, someone has already appeared
Severe sleep, mood and other disorders...
Someone even came to the hospital
bluntly offered to prescribe sleeping pills,
Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep at all...
Someone only sleeps an hour or two a day
Even outrageous words...
Mr. Zhu (not his real name) was taken to the emergency department of Kangning Hospital affiliated to Ningbo University on the evening of October 8.
"I set a strategy to make the stock go up"
"I'm from the national team"
"I can't wait for tomorrow to open"
"I want to travel back in time and go back to before this wave of rise"
"I am the first person in China's stock market......
In the emergency room,
Mr. Zhu uncontrollably boasted,
His face was flushed with red light, and he was very excited.
The family told the emergency doctor that Mr. Zhu was a freelancer who worked full-time in stock trading. Originally, he was a calm and serious person, but since the overall rise in stocks on September 27, he seems to have changed as a person. The most noticeable change is that he is very excited, talks a lot, always talks a lot, and exaggerates his words.
Second, hardly sleep. From the night of September 27 until he came to the emergency room, he hardly slept much. Sleep for a maximum of one or two hours a night, but the whole person is like being hit with "chicken blood", and he is always in a state of excitement.
In addition, he is busy, always busy all day long. For example, for a while, wear the best outfits, watches, and suits at home; After a while, he went to mop the floor; After a while, I took the mop and looked at the information of the listed company...... The whole person is like a headless fly.
After questioning, the doctor learned that Mr. Zhu had no history of mental illness and no family history.
After combining his medical history, medical condition, and relevant examinations, and ruling out organic diseases and psychoactive substance use, Mr. Zhu was diagnosed with a manic episode, which is the acute phase of mania. He was admitted to the hospital's Early Intervention Unit for inpatient treatment.

After the drug treatment, it was "low-key" a lot
According to Dr. Liu Jimeng, head of the early intervention department, mania is a mood disorder characterized by high emotion, rushing thinking and increased activity, and can be accompanied by psychotic symptoms in severe cases. High-risk groups include poor emotional control, long-term insomnia, and people with high levels of stress.
It is understood that Mr. Zhu has been engaged in stock investment for a long time, and due to the downturn in the market, he is under great pressure, and his sleep quality is not very good. This time, the stock market ushered in a wave of positive news, which caused its mood to fluctuate quite sharply.
According to the doctor, the clinical symptoms of mania are significant, and patients often show high mood, high energy, increased speech and accelerated speech speed, jumping thinking, easy distraction, high self-evaluation, and even exaggerated delusions. Some patients may also have impulsive behaviors, such as profligacy and reckless risk-taking behaviors, which affect daily life, study, work, etc. If left untreated, the disease recurs.
The treatment of mania mainly uses medication, physical therapy, psychotherapy, etc. Mood stabilizers are the main drugs. Psychotherapy focuses on helping patients adjust their cognition, enhance their self-management skills, promote recovery, and prevent relapse during remission. Among them, the acute phase is mainly treated with medication. Most people with mania have a good prognosis with regular treatment and are able to return to normal life and work. When it comes to prevention, it's important to recognise symptoms early and seek professional help in a timely manner, while maintaining a healthy lifestyle and reducing stressors.
At present, Mr. Zhu is in good condition, "When the patient first arrived, he was a typical manic episode, his emotions were extremely excited, difficult to control, and he talked a lot. If I don't pay attention, I talk to other patients and family members, saying that I have inside information about the stock market, which is very powerful. After a few days of medication, I have been 'low-key' a lot, and my mood has obviously stabilized. Moreover, he also realized that he was a little embarrassed about the fact that he had 'talked big' a few days ago. ”
Sleep is most affected
Reminder: Look rationally and respond positively
The doctor said that in the outpatient clinic recently
There are quite a few patients who are stockholders
For example, 23-year-old Xiao Dong suffers from anxiety, and when he came to a follow-up visit recently, he directly proposed: "Recently, the stock has risen and fallen a lot, which makes me so excited that I can't sleep, prescribe me some sleeping pills." He is a "newcomer" in the stock market, and he excitedly opened an account to enter the market, thinking about showing his strength, but only a few days after entering the market, he lost several months of salary. I don't sleep well at night, I don't have the heart to work during the day, and I always want to open the stock trading software.
The market has its ups and downs
How do investors maintain a good emotional state?
The doctor said that obvious changes in the stock market are often major life events for stockholders, and it is normal for emotions to change with ups and downs. However, if there is a persistent and uncontrollable feeling of excitement, worry, anxiety, etc., that lasts for a long time (more than one to two weeks), it should be taken seriously.
He suggested that major life events such as stock ups and downs should be rationally understood, the process of change should be viewed objectively, and positive response measures should be given. For example, under normal circumstances, stocks can't skyrocket all the time. When emotions are clearly affected, you can shift your attention appropriately and don't just focus on the events that make you feel emotionally volatile. Maintaining a regular schedule and rest, exercising appropriately, and communicating with family and friends are also conducive to emotional peace and stability. If the emotional problems have significantly affected normal work, life, interpersonal communication, etc., and self-regulation is ineffective, it is recommended to seek professional help.
