In an emergency, our hearts are full of doubts and uneasiness, and we will pay too much attention to our health or the function of a certain part of our body. Pay too much attention to body temperature during the epidemic and always worry that you will get sick, but it is not.
The doctor's explanation and objective examination of the disease are not enough to eliminate the inner worries. Stubbornly suspected that he was ill, filled with anxiety and fear, and even showed some physical "symptoms", such as sore throat, shortness of breath, cough, physical weakness and so on.
2, panic psychology
Panic can be understood as fear, an emotional experience when trying to escape from a certain situation but unable to do anything, and a self-defense response to a specific stimulus time. During the virus epidemic, people will feel very uneasy and panic about the disease.
For example, I am afraid that communication with others will be infected, that the virus will spread to my home, and that I will die.
3. Anxiety
At the moment of the epidemic, anxiety and fear go hand in hand. Fear is the fear and worry in the face of danger, while anxiety points more to the future. Predicting some unfavorable and intractable things seems to happen, worrying about things that haven't happened yet, and showing high vigilance.
For example, I am afraid that the epidemic situation is difficult to control, I can't return to work or I am infected during my return to school.
4. Depression
Depression often occurs after emergencies, which increase the risk of depression through stress mechanism. The common manifestations of depression during the epidemic period are pessimism, disappointment, depression, no intention to communicate with the outside world, long-term depression, and inability to concentrate on work and life.
For example, I feel lost in the human biological defense system and feel sad because of the difficulties in my life.
5. compulsive psychology
During the virus epidemic, the official media suggested washing hands frequently. Some people wash their hands frequently and take their temperature 30 to 40 times a day. They are always worried that they will catch the virus from the outside world or after contact with others. This kind of compulsive action is under the influence of uncontrollable intentions, knowing that it is unreasonable and unnecessary, but they can't control it.
It is manifested by repeated counting, repeated memory, repeated actions, repeated disinfection, and constant wiping of articles.
6. Concurrent certificate
In the face of emergencies, these emotional problems are often accompanied by other symptoms and signs, similar to the related manifestations of neurasthenia, such as tension headache or muscle pain, sleep disorder, difficulty in falling asleep, easy to wake up, and still feel sleepy or even worse after waking up.
These manifestations are more obvious in people with poor psychological endurance. When the actual pressure is too great, they will show abnormal reactions such as escape, resistance and attack, resulting in poor adaptability and tense interpersonal relationships.
The abnormal emotional state mentioned in this paper is called "abnormal" because our emotional state in the process of fighting virus is different from the normal psychological state; It's not that these mental states are abnormal.
Because in the face of sudden major events, we will have anxiety, worry and fear more or less, which is a common abnormal emotional expression during the epidemic.
I believe that in the face of major epidemics, we not only have the same belief, but also firmly believe that the motherland will tide over the difficulties smoothly; There will be similar emotional experiences and mental states, all of which are worried about suspected patients, frontline workers, epidemic maps and their own health.
