Peng Guoqiu said that under the epidemic, there are three main types of common mental diseases.
First, sleep disorders. Many people have disrupted the pace of life because of the epidemic, resulting in poor sleep quality. Some people are influenced by their neighbors, their personal biological clocks change and their sleep rhythm is disrupted.
Second, anxiety. At the beginning of the epidemic, people didn't know much about novel coronavirus, which caused great panic. Others are anxious because of unemployment, reduced income and children's inability to go to school. The emotional manifestations of anxiety are: I feel uneasy and feel like "riding a roller coaster"; It is difficult to calm down and not devote myself to work; Physically, I have difficulty breathing, sighing and stiff limbs.
Third, depression. In particular, some patients who were anxious or depressed before relapsed during the epidemic, showing symptoms such as depression, pessimism and despair, loss of appetite, weight loss, irregular menstruation, abnormal urination and defecation. If the symptoms have not improved for more than half a month, you must go to the hospital for help in time.
How to judge whether psychology is sick?
Peng Guoqiu said that human health includes physical health, mental health and social adaptation. Health is half mental health, and disease is half mental illness. The treatment of all diseases is related to psychology. As an important part of human health, the maintenance of mental health needs many factors, so it deserves everyone's attention.
In life, many people occasionally have symptoms such as poor sleep, headache, shoulder pain, bad stomach and breathing, but there is no problem with physical examination. These are mostly physical symptoms caused by mental illness.
At this time, it is necessary to make a comprehensive evaluation of the psychological state through a clear diagnosis, and then choose the appropriate treatment.
So, how should we judge whether you and your family have mental illness? Peng Guoqiu pointed out that you can make a simple self-assessment, such as what obvious changes have you made compared with the past? What are the obvious changes compared with the people around you? If the mood, interpersonal relationship, personality and sleep change greatly, paroxysmal dyspnea, palpitation and other physical discomfort symptoms may be caused by excessive anxiety.
Body and mind are closely related. The brain will affect the function or state of human organs, and the body will also affect the function or state of brain nerves.
How to keep mental health in life?
In daily life, how should we adjust our emotions to maintain mental health? Peng Guoqiu said that we can start from the following aspects:
First of all, it is suggested that everyone master a set of healthy "spiritual" methods suitable for them, such as chatting with friends, exercising, dancing, yoga, mindfulness, singing, music, art and traveling. Secondly, we should have a reasonable and correct understanding of ourselves and our families and the people and things around us; Finally, learn to perceive your physical and mental health, and often calm down and ask yourself, how are you feeling today? What needs to be improved? In what ways has it improved? So as to make appropriate adjustments.
Breathing training is one of the most effective ways to strengthen the "heart". You can choose the right sitting or standing posture, take a few natural breaths calmly, and then take a deep breath consciously. According to your own situation, take a deep breath after deep exhalation and hold your breath for about three seconds, then exhale and hold your breath for about three seconds. Generally, repeating this for 3~5 times will make you feel relaxed. Then slow down the rhythm of exhalation and inhalation, and the heart will become more and more calm after repeated several times.
If conditions permit, you can close your eyes or look at the tip of your nose. When inhaling, make a fist with your hands as slowly as possible, hold your breath for a while, and slowly relax your hands when exhaling, then hold it for a while and repeat it several times.
If the limbs are weak and listless, you can bounce in place; You can sit with your hands crossed, your fingers above your head, your palms up, and support as much as possible. At the same time, look at the triangle formed by the thumb and forefinger, and exhale and inhale quickly through the nose for 3 times. Then, put your hands behind your neck, palms forward, elbows backward, shoulders open, hands and fingers crossed forward, look forward, and exhale quickly through the nasal inhalation port for 3 times; Next, put your hands and fingers crossed behind your hips, palms down, straighten your upper limbs, sink your shoulders, breathe quickly for 3 times, breathe through your nose for 3 times, and breathe through your mouth for 3 times. Finally, put your hands and fingers across your chest or abdomen, inhale quickly through your mouth and exhale slowly through your nose for three times. In this way, after breathing practice, the oxygen content in the brain and blood will increase, and the muscles of the whole body will be activated, which can effectively regulate depression and increase vitality.
Finally, Peng Guoqiu said that it is suggested that you learn more about psychology, which can not only strengthen your understanding of yourself or others, but also establish good interpersonal relationships, which is helpful to cope with various crises in life and is conducive to personal growth and happiness.
