Common psychological problems in the face of epidemic situation
1. Anxiety and hypochondria
Explain that it pays special attention to all kinds of feelings of the body, and will associate all kinds of discomfort with the virus and suspect that it is sick. Some people pay too much attention to the news related to the epidemic, and repeatedly check all kinds of content, which aggravates the tension and panic, and even leads to a series of blind herd behavior.
Step 2 be angry
According to the "frustration-attack model" of psychology, anger in the face of epidemic risk and various pressures is actually a natural response to enhance the sense of control and self-defense ability. We need to keep calm and restrained in our emotional and behavioral reactions, and pay rational attention to the epidemic situation with the mentality of "not believing in rumors and not spreading rumors".
3. Depression and depression
People affected by the epidemic will feel depressed for a while, even sad and desperate, and it is difficult to feel happy. When the epidemic affects the important matters of your work and family, you will be more depressed. This kind of performance may be a signal of depression! If the depression lasts too long, it may lead to disorder of life rules and decreased immunity.
4. Blind optimism
In the face of the epidemic, moderate optimism is necessary. However, if you hold the wrong idea of "I haven't heard of patients around me, I won't be infected", be blindly optimistic, and even relax your vigilance. If you are a little careless, you may increase the risk of infection for yourself and others.
Public psychological self-help and consultation
1. Know your emotional reaction correctly.
The outbreak of infectious diseases will bring us great pressure, and it is normal to have certain negative emotions. Even if you find that you have some emotions that don't usually appear, you don't have to regard them as a scourge. Accepting these emotions will help us to live a better life and cope with the epidemic.
2. Face the epidemic information with an appropriate attitude.
Be "aware" of the epidemic, read the official media reports on the epidemic carefully, and don't believe some rumors. Understand the relevant scientific protection knowledge and turn panic into serious, scientific and moderate personal protection.
3. Actively communicate with relevant people.
You can communicate with your family and friends by telephone and internet, encourage each other, communicate feelings and strengthen psychological mutual support. If it is a contact of a suspected patient or a confirmed patient, it is especially necessary to listen and talk in the process of isolated medical observation and build an anti-epidemic psychological alliance.
4. Maintain an active and healthy lifestyle
Look at life positively, try to keep the original life schedule, live at the original rhythm, and let yourself return to the normal life track. On this basis, establish good living habits, pay attention to diet and ensure sleep.
