Many patients with anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, hypochondria, phobia and depression will go to the hospital for medical treatment. Generally, they know the situation first, do one or several psychological scales, and some may even do neurotransmitter tests. Neurotransmitters, including serotonin and dopamine, are secreted by the endocrine system in the body, which is a kind of hormone that makes people happy and positive, but the test results of these patients tend to decrease. Some low-level doctors say that your neurotransmitters are low, so
Let's ask, why does a good person suddenly reduce neurotransmitters? What is the reason for the decrease? I'm afraid many people can't answer it.
The correct explanation should be this: when people are anxious, the endocrine system will be disordered, leading to a decrease in neurotransmitter secretion. Women's menstruation also belongs to the endocrine system. Many female patients have abnormal menstruation, and her neurotransmitters are also at a low level, as are men. So it is caused by anxiety, not anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder caused by neurotransmitter deficiency.
Let's look at the principles of various problems. Needless to say, anxiety is worrying about bad things, not anxiety. Hypochondria is worrying about getting a terminal illness, not anxiety; Social phobia is worrying about others laughing at themselves, which is anxiety; Depression is worrying that you can't solve the problem, and it is also anxiety.
When anxiety is eliminated, neurotransmitters will gradually return to normal.
Let me talk about myself first. I used to be a patient with severe depression, anxiety, social phobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder and compulsive suicidal thoughts. I have suffered from this so-called psychological problem for nearly ten years, and I have recovered for almost two years.
It's not that there is something wrong with neurotransmitters, but that there is something wrong with our hearts. I am an example. I tried many drugs, Chinese medicine and western medicine before, and then I started to change from my heart. Now I'm all right.
In fact, this so-called psychological problem is just that we have too much negative energy in our hearts, but we can't control it and can't get rid of it. Attached below is a graph of positive energy and negative energy.
Ordinary people are sometimes in a positive energy state and sometimes in a negative energy state. Depression means being in a state of negative energy for a long time, unable to extricate themselves and unable to produce positive energy. For a long time, because it is too far away from positive energy, it is no longer possible to produce positive energy, and even the brain is unconscious and unresponsive to positive energy. On the contrary, I am extremely excited about the negative energy state. Although people with depression don't want to do this, they also know that it is painful. But I just can't help it. Sometimes the more you want to control, the more painful it is. For example, I have to keep thinking about all the unpleasant things in my life. The more you think about it, the more painful it is, and the more excited your brain is.
So I often can't sleep all night, and the negative energy increases every time I think about it. The vertical axis keeps going down, and the more you walk, the more excited you are. The greater the negative energy, the more it attracts and the more it excites. Infinite vicious circle, infinite amplification of pain, and even a little thing will make patients extremely painful and anxious. If you go on like this, you will eventually want to die.
The external manifestations of these so-called symptoms are the projection of our hearts, and the external symptoms are what your heart is like.
What do you think we patients with depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder lack? Isn't what we lack happiness? Happiness comes from the heart, and there are no obstacles in the heart. We know how to do everything correctly, and we are no longer confused. With the right goal in life, where is the pain?
I hope my answer can help you, and I hope everyone is happy, healthy and happy!
People with obsessive-compulsive mood and melancholy mood belong to mental problems, which can generally be relieved by themselves with the passage of time, or through persuasion and talk from relatives and friends, or turn to previous years for help. If you can't let go of this compulsion and depression for half a month, it is likely to lead to obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression, so it is very important to control your emotions. In other words, to control your emotions is to control your future.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) refers to doing the same thing and thinking about the same problem over and over again, knowing that it is unnecessary, but having to do it and think. Despite conscious confrontation, I still can't control myself.
Thinking about symptoms: staring at one thing, is the door locked? Whether the child will go home today, I think repeatedly, but I just can't control myself. Even if the answer is yes, I still can't help thinking.
Action symptoms: the patient washes his hands and face repeatedly, even until his skin turns white and peeling, and then washes it again. The patient knows clearly but can't control himself, and feels very painful.
Besides, depression is self-evident. As we all know, depression is a mental and psychological disorder with persistent depression, slow action, inferiority, self-blame, irritability, self-denial, loss of confidence and fun in life, longing for death without fear of death, and even self-harm and suicidal tendency as the main complaints.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression can not be separated from drug treatment, but also from TCM conditioning. Only the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine can treat both the symptoms and the root causes, and it is the best golden partner.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression are not so much mental problems as mental diseases.

I am willing to share the experience of successfully getting out of psychological problems, hoping to bring confidence and hope to people suffering from psychological problems!
Meeting is fate. Please click on the top right corner to pay attention to the author before reading.
As a rehabilitation person with a history of bipolar disorder and depression for 20 years, I have too many experiences and too many hardships.
From initial insomnia to moderate depression, I can't help but want to commit suicide every day.
In this process, I traveled to countless hospitals, ate all the medicines, western medicines, traditional Chinese medicines and folk remedies, and went to Beijing Anding Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University.
Believe in the Lord, believe in God, believe in witchcraft, burn incense and worship Buddha, all methods have been exhausted, and the most authoritative psychological counselor at that time has been consulted, but the disease has not been cured in the end.
I have completely given up any hope of getting better, just waiting to die, waiting for my parents to grow up a hundred years later, waiting for my daughter, and I will end my life.
Thanks to fate, thanks to parents, thanks to teachers, God never shuts one door but he opens another. Later, I met the greatest person in my life, my teacher Li Jiaqi.
It was the teacher who saved my life and gave me a second life. Since studying with the teacher and changing my wrong thinking and thinking mode, my life has really ushered in the spring of life.
I didn't know the essence of depression until I met my teacher and studied with him. I didn't know it was the wrong direction at that time, and I didn't know why I had been taking medicine for so many years.
It is because negative thinking and negative emotions release and entangle too much negative energy, and the direction has been downward. Until the end, I thought about how to commit suicide every day. I was on the verge of death.
After a narrow escape, I went through all kinds of hardships, depressed for 20 years, and became a doctor after a long illness
As for whether obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression are caused by neurotransmitter problems or psychological problems, I think this problem is psychological problems first, and then abnormal neurotransmitters.
Because the medicine I took before, the doctor said it regulated neurotransmitters, but after taking the medicine for 13 years, the neurotransmitters were regulated for 13 years, and my bipolar disorder depression was still not cured.
Because heart disease still needs a cardiologist, taking medicine to treat the symptoms but not the root cause!
You can trust me privately if you have personal needs. In his spare time, he undertakes adult case consultation, children's education and students' psychological consultation.
Where is the source of depression? Everyone holds different views. One view is that it is a physiological problem. For example, teacher Zhang Jin, a well-known media person, used to be a patient with depression. After her recovery, she contacted thousands of patients. He wrote in a series of articles on "Complete Cognition of Depression":' About 40% of patients take drugs ineffective, which does not include misdiagnosis, improper medication, and patients who do not follow the doctor's advice. "
Such people insist that depression is a physiological disease, which is caused by the lack of neurotransmitters such as dopamine. Depression leads to mental illness, not mental illness. Depression is a long-term pain, long-term thinking about the reasons, struggling to find a way out, psychological problems will only appear when there are problems in thinking and behavior under the pressure of disease. The stress of depression can not be alleviated, and the psychological problems can not be solved, which is just an infinite vicious circle.
There is also a view that is considered by more people as the source of neurosis-psychological problems, so there are more and more psychologists now.
But the terrible thing is that many people now attribute neurasthenia to depression, which leads to patients' families being too worried, and depression can be diagnosed without depression. Therefore, please don't label those neurasthenia patients as depression.
I am a registered health manager. Let me answer your question.
Neurotransmitters and mental illness are interrelated. Mental illness will affect the secretion of neurotransmitters in the brain, and neurotransmitters (dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine) will also affect mental state. According to this principle, drugs for treating depression can increase the secretion of neurotransmitters and relieve symptoms.
Moderate and severe depression has almost no physiological symptoms and is easy to delay treatment. However, with the aggravation of symptoms, symptoms of various physiological diseases begin to appear, and the consequences are very serious, so it is easy to have suicidal thoughts.
)
As a witness of depression, I knew nothing about it from the beginning, but now I can say that I have become a good doctor after a long illness. Personally, I think obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression are caused by many factors, not by one problem.
First, there is something wrong with the neurotransmitter in the brain.
We usually talk about physical fitness, physical fitness, but few people realize that everyone's brain is different. Some people have better neurosurgical function, while others don't, which is the same as the difference of physique.
When a person's brain function is abnormal, it will suppress brain activity, including activity frequency and activity mode, and the brain will not feel happy and happy. If this goes on, your overall feeling will give others a bad feeling. At this time, if the external evaluation and influence on you is not good, psychological problems will follow, and psychological burden will follow.
Secondly, psychological problems.
Patients basically have an irrational objective understanding of themselves, or have certain psychological problems, such as autism, such as inferiority or even conceit. These are all objective facts. When the outside world appears to be out of control or disliked, or hears others attacking you, the psychological problems will be amplified. When psychological problems are solved, it will affect your brain thinking, and there will be some wrong thoughts and behaviors, which will further affect the normal operation of your brain.
The last words, such as weakness and depression, will take the opportunity to enter, thus creating a greenhouse of depression.
From the perspective of modern science, obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression are related to psychology, personality, society and heredity. However, this statement is not conducive to solving these two diseases, can not really help people get rid of obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression, and even insist on taking medicine. It's impossible not to take medicine, and the more you take it, the more serious it becomes. So I think this kind of understanding and concept is of little value and significance to patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression are both psychological problems in essence, which are caused by the disorder of mental order. These two diseases are first caused by mental problems, which will lead to the disorder of physical function and even mental disorder in the brain. For each reason, it is necessary to use psychological channels to successfully influence patients.
No matter what kind of mental illness, we must start from the heart. Therefore, we must find out what the heart really means.
In modern science, the heart is considered as the heart, which is actually wrong. In fact, the heart is almost hollow. It is a hollow acupoint. In the center of our chest, it is called Zhongshan point in traditional Chinese medicine, and people call it Heart Nest, Heart Mouth, Heart Gate, Heart Meridian and so on. From the appellation of the heart nest, we can know the nest, mouth, door and head of the heart. And when we hear these nouns, we will naturally pay attention to our breasts to observe.
What is the function of the heart? Su Wen's The Secret Classic of Linglan in Huangdi Neijing records that "those who live in the middle of acupoints are happy", which tells us that the function of acupoints in the middle of acupoints is also the function of the heart, that is, to express emotions and other emotions. Our inner feelings of compulsion, inevitability, depression and depression also occur here, which are all manifestations of our emotions.
Knowing that our heart is the location of our compulsion, depression and other emotions, and knowing the role of the heart, we can treat this heart with the right medicine. What is the prescription?
In our "The Doctrine of the Mean", it is mentioned that "the joys, sorrows and sorrows have not been sent, which means; All are posted in the festival, which is and. " Is to tell us what it feels like to feel something you can't feel inside when emotions don't happen. This feeling is in the middle. There is also a saying in the Tao Te Ching that "there is always no desire to see its wonders", that is, to experience this state of being, that is, to observe its wonderful feelings; When we have emotions, we should feel the general appearance of various emotions in our hearts, just like the Tao Te Ching said, "There is always a desire to see", which is the appearance and appearance. Observing it is to observe the appearance of this emotional feeling when it comes, whether it is hot or cold, warm or cold, soft or hard, urgent or slow, heavy or floating, light or heavy, big or small ... that is, to realize that it is similar to an object in physical properties, that is, to observe it.
The core of this whole prescription is the concept, either observing the feelings of nothingness, wonderfulness and mediocrity, or observing the feelings of existence and dissatisfaction, so as to achieve a harmonious feeling, that is, to be at peace with our inner emotions. Sometimes I feel comfortable. When I feel uncomfortable, I always feel comfortable. With this prescription, prospect can heal our hearts. Just like a dark room, turn on the light, and it won't be dark if there is light. We have feelings in our hearts. After we have a look at our hearts and see clearly the feelings and physical attributes of this emotion, the so-called emotion will be comfortable and we can live in peace with it.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression, as mental diseases, are all treated in this way, solving the problem from the source and fundamentally. Others, combined with relaxation, diet, conditioning and so on. You can get out of all kinds of mental diseases quickly with some too serious drugs.
Neurotransmitter problems and psychological problems may lead to neurosis such as obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression. Moreover, the body and mind are integrated, and if there is a problem with neurotransmitters, psychological obstacles will follow; When psychological problems occur, neurotransmitters will be abnormal, which can form a vicious circle, making it difficult for people to heal themselves after onset.
From the etiology of obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression and other neurosis, the problem of neurotransmitters belongs to biological factors, such as abnormal secretion of hormones such as serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine. Psychological problems belong to psychological and social factors, such as introversion, sensitivity and suspicion, pursuit of perfection, caution, competitiveness and so on. And overreact to small things for too long; Or fierce competition in work, heavy pressure on work or study tasks, failure of love and marriage or long-term disappointment, chronic diseases, death of relatives, business failure, etc. It is difficult for people to adapt and may cause neurosis. The etiology of neurosis also includes genetic factors.
Generally speaking, psychosocial factors are the main factors leading to neurosis such as obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression, which means that neurosis is more caused by psychological problems. Therefore, if you have depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and other mental diseases, you need to contact a professional psychological counseling agency in time to solve them professionally. It can be cured.
Usually, individuals need to pay more attention to self-regulation to avoid psychological problems. For example, go home from work every day and sort out the mood of the day. If there is pressure in work and study, or there is no good interpersonal relationship, you need to find specific solutions. If you are unhappy, you can sing and chat, put on sportswear and go out for a run, or start a movie or something. Dispel negative emotions in time to avoid diseases caused by long-term bad emotions.
The causes of neurosis such as depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder have never been single. Take depression as an example, it is the result of the interaction of biological, psychological and social factors. Let me briefly analyze it in front of the screen:
1. Genetic and biological factors, as we know, identical twins have the same genetic genes. Scientists have also found that when one of the identical twins suffers from depression, the probability of the other suffering from depression is 50%, while the prevalence of depression in the general population is about 2%. Therefore, genes are a very important factor.
2. Does that mean that people with the "depression" gene will definitely get depression? The answer is no, when genes affect a person's phenotype, they need to go through translation, expression and other processes. Just like you want to draw a landscape painting, the gene is to give you a piece of paper, but to draw a painting, you have to draw it again. With the "depression gene", we say that this person has a biological susceptibility, which is more prone to depression than ordinary people, but not necessarily. The rest also includes the personal environment and way of thinking.
Children born in quarrelsome families, whose parents don't understand education, even suffered from domestic violence and abuse, are definitely more likely to suffer from depression than children born in the opposite situation; In addition, whether there is an important intimate relationship, social atmosphere, work pressure, etc., are all affected by external "social" factors.
3. Finally, personal temperament, way of thinking and so on. Why the same thing, aside from the previous factors, some people will be defeated by setbacks, and some people will become more and more brave? Lies in their different ways of thinking. Some people's core belief is that they don't believe in themselves, feel incompetent, and are prone to depression in the face of setbacks; Some people are just the opposite.
Of course, there is a difference between two people suffering from depression. Some people may be hit by major life events and can't cope for a while. Some people may be born with a depressed temperament, and a small thing is like the end of the world. The former corresponds to "exogenous depression", with life events and external factors as the main factors; The latter corresponds to "endogenous depression", with physiological factors as the main factor.
In a word, the causes of depression are very complicated and cannot be generalized simply.
Above, I hope my professional answer can help you!
