This misconception was dispelled on my first visit to Valium Hospital.
In the crowded waiting hall of the Anding Hospital, I saw sad faces with features from all over China. They had obviously traveled a long way to get here; they were looking around, fidgety, and had faces of trepidation and fear. Often they sat for long periods of time, like wooden statues. As I looked at them, a phrase from Wang Xiaobo came to my mind - the silent majority. Yes, in China, even among the depressed people, there is a silent majority - the largest
population of depression in China, the poor, in the countryside.
Poor people are the biggest group for depression
Any member of any class can get depressed, and the poorer class suffers even more. Simply because this class lives out of the spotlight, their suffering goes unnoticed.
Studies have proved that poverty is a major cause of depression. Poverty makes people depressed, depression makes people poorer, and the two interact to cause mental disorders and isolation. Poverty and depression are a chicken-and-egg or egg-and-chicken pair.
Depression can be traced as far back as human childhood. As our ancestors evolved from a hunting civilization to an agrarian civilization, a portion of hunters who did not adapt to this change and could not master farming techniques became the earliest sufferers of depression.
From this, I venture to guess: in the face of the great social change, those who can't keep up with the times and are abandoned by the times,
because of their anxiety, fear, and despair, they may become the captives of depression - which may explain why, in the last decade or so, the laid-off people of Chinese state-owned enterprises and those who stayed in the countryside have become a high incidence group of depression. high incidence of depression group.
As an aside, the rate of depression among those on social assistance is three times the rate of the general population.
Poor students in China's colleges and universities have always been a sensitive topic. When poor students enter the city, if they do not receive material and spiritual help, the probability of their mental illness is extremely high. Currently, poor students account for about 15-20% of the total enrollment in Chinese colleges and universities, and 65% of them have psychological problems.
In the United States, many poor people also suffer from depression. A survey showed that 85%-95% of people with serious mental illness in the US are unemployed.
The low recognition of depression in poorer groups adds to their treatment. Generally speaking, the middle class is relatively well off and happy in their daily lives, and when they are depressed, their unusual suffering is relatively easy to detect; whereas the poor, who live at the bottom of the social ladder, are already struggling to make ends meet, and their symptoms of depression are masked. He himself cannot figure out whether his pain is depression or comes from life itself. Many poor people have depression and never realize it, nor do they know it.
So anti-poverty and anti-depression go hand in hand. An important means of fighting depression is to help the poor get out of poverty and enhance their ability to change their destiny.
① A person trying to move up (spiritually), to a certain period of time at a certain height, will encounter a dark period.
② This dark period is very difficult to pass. In fact, it is true that only a few people can pass through.
③ This dark period can lead to depression and, in extreme cases, suicide.
④ The depression caused by this dark period can be alleviated. The method can only be to untie the knots. There are some knots that can be resolved through your own efforts, but there are some knots that you can't do anything about, even if you are smart. Because people have limitations.
⑤The knot, the knot of the heart, does not open, the sun can not come in. Light depression, depression for a long time, perhaps cancer and suicide.
⑥ It is best to unravel the knot yourself, that way the result is the best ~ you will become more sunshine
Why is major depression more concentrated in some elite people?
In the incidence of depression in the group, the proportion of the incidence of the elite is higher than the proportion of ordinary people, such as knowingly actors and actresses, successful people in the industrial and commercial sector, famous universities, key high school students, these people are famous, such as the suicide of Leslie Cheung can cause strong repercussions, while the ordinary people commit suicide, know very few people. But the elites are after all a minority, so the total number of patients is still more than ordinary people.
These elite people, from childhood on the excellent, much stronger than their peers, many parents also have high hopes for their children, hoping that they will be successful in their studies and careers, the requirements of the more stringent, for fear that they will be proud of a little bit of error on the corrections, and even do not allow them to make a mistake, and then such a small growth environment, the formation of a sensitive and suspicious of the insecure, inferiority complex, prone to anxiety, fear of failure. The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal on a new product.
With such a character, in the performance of the stronger than others, they are afraid of others over themselves, once someone over themselves, they have some mistakes, failure, will be high anxiety, anxiety, more self-blame, that they can not, full denial of their own, feel that their future has no hope, in the anxiety, it became depression, anxiety continues to rise, it became a major depression.
Adjustment of depression, is to utilize his past success and excellence, in molding to the original state of excellence, but need my positive cooperation, family understanding.
There are a bunch of doctors discussing the trajectory of water falling from 10,000 meters in the air, someone gravity, acceleration discussed half a day to conclude that the speed of water has been offset by the majority; some people say that the air resistance; there are also people lifted out of the Einstein and Newton wanted to answer through the theory of relativity and the second law.
A farmer's wife passed by and said coldly: Have you ever seen rain smashing people to death?
People who think a lot, all kinds of considerations, a moment to worry about health problems, a moment to worry about children's education, even a simple physical phenomenon, can be linked to life safety, if once you go to the extremes, worrying about something too much and there is no way to vent, not to be stared at by depression? And the general public, like a peasant woman, have food and drink, three meals a day is not less than victory, usually occasionally go to the square to dance, to the beach fishing a fish, there is nothing to worry about, even if the children of the family are not talented, but also want to find a good son-in-law or married to a good husband to improve the conditions, so optimistic, which would be what depression, can not sleep at night is estimated to be difficult it!
So, pessimistic people relative to optimistic people easy to depression, think more than the heartless to easy to get, this is common sense.
But why is major depression more concentrated in the elite, in fact, more or society has more attention to the elite, and does not mean that the probability of ordinary people will be low, in the face of disease, everyone is equal, it does not matter whether you are the elite or grassroots it!

The high incidence of depression in the population has "three highs and three lows"
"Three highs" that is, high income, high Mandarin, high position, these people tend to set the goal of life is too big, and always want to do more than their own ability to do things, and the mental capacity is not as good as it is. things, and the mental capacity is not so high.
The "three lows" are low income, low culture, and low position. They are prone to dissatisfaction with life, which can lead to depression.
People are ambitious, the elite has reached a certain height, then certainly want to do better. If the reality of the return is far less than the heart of the expected, time is long, certainly collapse.
This topic is a bit heavy, depression is known as the cancer of the heart. It's hard for people to get out of it. The results are different for men and women, for example, we like the brother of a Zhang Guorong, my other college classmate, more than a million dollars in debt, stress plus depression, a cigarette, a bottle of wine, took away the youth of life.
Of course, there are examples of successful walk out more successful, such as the founder of Huawei Ren Zhengfei. There are also three female entrepreneurs I know. China is a society where the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. Many social elites are prone to suffer from loss after reaching a certain level in their work and career. This is a very important reason.
Here, I want to talk about an analysis of a status quo, once a man gets depressed, he will not vent, and a lot of the body to the body is more sick, and even end of life. So from a certain point of view, if there is a relative or friend around who has this after, the family should be more concerned. In the traditional thinking, men should be on top of the world.
There is a saying that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
People who don't live in the bottom, never know how cruel the reality is.
Being in this kind of environment, if people want to get rid of, they can only desperately climb up.
Then in the process of crawling, you will encounter a lot of resistance and problems, sometimes not all the resistance and problems can be perfectly solved, when the solution is not appropriate, it may become the heart of a can.
And with the passage of time, when the person from the bottom of the crawl to the middle, upper and even higher, these cans may become a stubborn disease, fatal injuries, and may even be killed in one move. Then years of hard work can go down the drain.
But by the time the seriousness of the problem is realized, it may already be too late.
Under such psychological pressure, if not channelized, you may suffer from depression.
Depression usually starts with repression first, and after a long time of not getting channeled, it becomes depression over time. It's like dropping water into a glass every day, if you don't let it go the glass will fill up sooner or later and even overflow.
The situation described above is just one of them, and I hope everyone will look away.
Elite people many times need to balance many relationships, the workplace and family at the same time is also very difficult to take care of, the workplace hookups or problems at home are the cause of depression, once caught in the thought of can not get rid of the vortex, the whole state of mind will be trapped in. Ordinary people are easy to regulate because ordinary people have nothing to worry about for fear of losing, elite people have to be very careful at every step, for fear of making a mistake which all will disappear, society is so realistic, so is the human heart. Another point is that the elite generally live in the spotlight, everyone has high expectations of him/her, this society does not allow the elite to make any mistakes, subject to these pressures and other people's expectations, in case the psychological state is not adjusted properly, it is really easy to get depressed, lose interest and confidence in everything, because it is too difficult to solve all kinds of problems, there is no way to start, and the personality may even be split. Once you find anyone around you with depression, you should immediately advise and accompany the patient to find a professional counselor, and in serious cases, you need to see a psychiatrist to prescribe medication to control it. Many people feel that psychiatric drugs are dependent or disruptive, but really in an emergency drugs can save a life. May all people not receive depression.
If a person thinks about only one thing 24 hours a day, that person is neurotic. The reason why the elite elite, is more focused, serious and even paranoid about the cause, life, image, more likely to sleep than those who are fed and not hungry, and insomnia for several days in a row, they are depressed.
