Experts from Nanchang Ankang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine remind everyone not only to care about their own health, but also to pay attention to mental health, physical and mental balance, physical and mental health, all of which are indispensable, and always be alert to the health threats brought by mental illness. Anxiety, depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder are often common, typical and easily overlooked mental diseases.

1. The earlier the anxiety disorder is treated, the better the prognosis.

Anxiety disorder is a common mental illness. Many people gradually have some bad symptoms because of the pressure of daily life, which will affect the normal life and work of patients.

At present, the etiology of the disease is not clear, which may be related to genetic factors, growth background, personality characteristics, cognitive level, bad life events, physical diseases and so on. Some people will show excessive anxiety and nervousness that are inconsistent with the real situation without obvious incentives. This kind of tension and fear often have no clear object and content. Patients feel that they have been in the inner experience of tension, fear, fear and anxiety.

As an early screening or self-diagnosis, you can also use some simple self-rating anxiety scale, such as SAS (Self-rating Anxiety Scale). If the score is high, it is recommended to go to the psychiatric or psychological department for further examination. Anxiety disorder is a disease with relatively good therapeutic effect and good prognosis in neurosis. Psychological counseling and medication are usually used. The earlier diagnosis and treatment, the better the prognosis of anxiety disorder. After specialized standardized treatment, the vast majority of patients will get clinical rehabilitation and restore their previous happy mood.

2. Depression should attach great importance to the prevention of recurrence.

Also known as anxiety neurosis, it is the most common kind of neurosis, which is manifested as anxious emotional experience. It can be divided into chronic anxiety, that is, generalized anxiety and acute anxiety, that is, panic attack. The main manifestations are: anxiety without a clear objective object, fidgeting, autonomic nervous dysfunction symptoms, such as palpitation, shaking hands, sweating, frequent urination, exercise anxiety and so on. Pay attention to distinguish between normal anxiety. If the severity of anxiety is obviously inconsistent with objective facts or situations, or lasts too long, it may be pathological anxiety.

Patients usually have typical symptoms, such as depression, loss of interest and happiness, mental retardation, lack of energy or fatigue. Other common symptoms include decreased attention; Self-evaluation is reduced; Concepts of self-guilt and worthlessness (even in mild attacks); Think that the future is bleak and pessimistic; Self-mutilation or suicidal thoughts or behaviors; Sleep disorder; Loss of appetite and so on. The course of disease lasts at least two weeks.

Severe depression will bring great harm to family and society, and the treatment of depressive episode should achieve three goals. First, the key to improve the clinical cure rate and minimize the disability rate and suicide rate is to completely eliminate clinical symptoms; Second, improve the quality of life and restore social functions; Third, prevent recurrence. In addition to medication, psychotherapy and social support system also play a very important role in preventing the recurrence of this disease. We should try our best to reduce the patients' excessive psychological burden and pressure, help them solve practical difficulties and problems in life and work, improve their coping ability, actively create a good environment for them and prevent recurrence.

3. Obsessive-compulsive disorder should be prevented before it happens in life.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a kind of anxiety disorder, which is a group of neuropsychiatric diseases with obsessive-compulsive thinking and behavior as the main clinical manifestations. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is characterized by conscious compulsion and anti-compulsion, and some meaningless or even impulsive thoughts or impulses repeatedly invade patients' daily lives. Although patients experience these thoughts or impulses from themselves, they can't always control them. The intense conflict between them makes them feel great anxiety and pain, which affects their study, work, interpersonal communication and even daily life.

Many studies show that patients often suffer some bad life events when they first get sick, such as interpersonal tension, marriage and love being tested, study and work being frustrated and so on. Obsessive-compulsive disorder patients have more or less the psychology of pursuing perfection, and have high demands on themselves and others. Some patients have obsessive-compulsive personality or psychological type A personality before illness, showing a strong sense of responsibility and competition, hoping that everything can be perfect, so they lack flexibility in dealing with bad life events and are difficult to adapt to society. The conflict and anxiety experienced by patients can only be expressed through obsessive-compulsive symptoms. The onset of obsessive-compulsive disorder is related to social psychology, personality, heredity and neuroendocrine factors, of which the first two can be intervened. After all, the pain of obsessive-compulsive disorder patients is difficult for ordinary people to understand. It is very important to intervene and treat as soon as possible to prevent problems before they happen.
