The movie "Husband With Depression" is based on true events and records the story of manga artist Xiaoqing who accompanied her husband to treat depression after her husband Takasaki suffered from depression.
We can observe Takasaki's depressive symptoms from four aspects:
(1) Emotionally, feeling sad for a long time, feeling depressed, and losing happiness, any small thing can trigger his depressed mood, and when stimulated, his emotions are out of control.
For example, in rainy weather, he stayed at home all day and did not go out, depressed; on the train, when Xiaoqing expressed his gratitude to Takasaki, he could not control his emotional collapse and cried.
(2) In terms of thinking, I often blame myself and feel that I have no value.
* Constantly blame yourself, feel guilty, and think that everything is your fault.
For example, when his brother asks him, he blames himself later, thinking that he can't do anything well and doesn't know how to work hard; he tells his pet that he is not a good owner.
* Often feel like a worthless person.
For example: because Xiaoqing yelled at him when he was upset, he felt very disgusted with himself, and he was no longer relaxed; when he took out the garbage, he felt like garbage, worthless.
* Slow thinking, difficulty concentrating, thinking, or making decisions.
For example: receiving a customer's complaint call and not knowing how to respond; not being able to call; during a speech, someone else asks a question, and his expression becomes trance-like.
(3) The body becomes weak and weak.
* The body is often painful, there is no strength, appetite, and libido are reduced.
For example: often say headaches, low back pain; can't eat, take the bento to colleagues to eat; Xiaoqing wants to be intimate with him, he said he is not in the mood.
* Frequent insomnia or sleep all day.
For example, in the early stage of depressive symptoms, insomnia is often often caused, and then for a period of time, it is very sleepy day and night, sleeping all day.
* The action becomes sluggish.
For example: can't make bento, can't clean, when others get on the tram at work, he stays where he is, and so on.
* Have suicidal thoughts or even put into action.
For example: holding a knife in his hand, he told Xiaoqing that he wanted to commit suicide; after being criticized by the minister, he ran to the top floor of a high-rise building to wander, look down, wanted to jump and was very scared; Xiaoqing yelled at him when he was upset, he ran to the bathroom to cry, rinsed his head with cold water, and hanged himself.
(4) Be cautious in interpersonal communication, and often be in a state of forbearance, avoidance and withdrawal.
For example, after being complained by a difficult customer, he bows to the minister and apologizes, but does not reflect the customer's unreasonable teasing to the minister; when the brother comes to visit him, he puts high demands on him, he does not agree, but he cannot express it to the brother, and when the brother is gone, he blames himself and cries.
He liked to eat natto, but because Xiaoqing did not eat, he no longer made his own demands; the neighbor old man greeted him, he bowed deeply and ran immediately; he wanted to call to thank his mother-in-law for her care, but never called, and so on.
