1, the health crisis of middle-aged men
Abnormal physical fitness can lead to depression and anxiety.
When people reach middle age, their health is often worse than before because of aging. At this time, if companies lay off employees because of the economic downturn, they may even lose their jobs, which makes many people feel stressed in middle age. Chen, a 50-year-old director of a technology company and attending psychiatrist of Taipei United Hospital, said that there are indeed many middle-aged people who suffer from depression and anxiety because of abnormal physical fitness or unsatisfactory work.
Chest tightness, palpitation, depression and anxiety.
Dr. Chen Shenda pointed out that this middle-aged man has high blood pressure, but he often feels chest tightness and palpitations, and thinks he has arrhythmia. But after diagnosis and treatment, there is actually no arrhythmia. Later, he was diagnosed with anxiety, and was referred to the psychiatric department, and it was further discovered that he suffered from depression and anxiety. After more than a dozen times of treatment and psychotherapy with anti-anxiety drugs and antidepressants, it returned to normal.
2. How to face the midlife crisis?
Know yourself first, don't be too high.
When life reaches middle age, it seems that there are only a handful of days to look forward, and it is unbearable to look back, which leads to the middle-aged crisis of many people. Dr. Chen further pointed out that in fact, people should first understand themselves, just like if a company has a financial crisis, it should look at what is left. When your health is not as good as before, you should strengthen something, but it should not be too high, or think that it is good to eat the elixir.
Correct irrational thinking and treat life pragmatically.
In addition, many people with middle-aged crisis will have irrational thinking. Dr. Chen said, for example, this case thinks that the heartbeat will die soon, but it is actually too nervous and anxious. This illogical thinking can be corrected by cognitive behavior. As for life, you can reach the top at the age of 40, and then go downhill. Therefore, when you are 50 or 60 years old, it is important to look at life realistically, live a functional and healthy life according to your ability, and don't do any work or exercise that you can, so as not to damage your health.
3. The performance of male midlife crisis
1. Occupational stress. What many middle-aged men value most at this time is their career achievements. When their career is frustrated, they often choose silence and escape to deal with it. Coupled with inner depression, they can't see the relationship between things clearly and are prone to make wrong judgments. Especially in the global financial turmoil, quite a few people's careers are going downhill. Some middle-aged men don't choose to share and talk about their experiences with people around them, but keep all their problems in their hearts. Such a vicious circle can easily lead to extreme things.
2. Family pressure. Middle-aged men are generally reluctant to admit that they are getting old. They will try to prove their ability to conquer through emotion, but at the same time they are unwilling to destroy the stability of their families, so they tend to choose one-night stands, nightclubs and other forms. At the same time, due to social reasons, the age gap between men over 40 and their wives is usually small, and the wife may also have a "middle-aged crisis", which greatly increases the probability of conflict between the two sides.
3. Study pressure. Middle-aged people leave school for too long. If they don't continue to learn to improve themselves, they can only use what they have learned before to deal with work and family problems. In this case, their parent-child relationship may be poor, and they still get along with their children in the way of their parents, that is, the mode of getting along with themselves in the 1940 s, so the generation gap barrier is quite obvious, which easily leads to poor parent-child relationship. In their career, their knowledge system has not been updated, and they can't improve their career. In particular, the constant emergence of newcomers in the workplace has brought fierce competition, which makes it easy for middle-aged men to be eliminated.
4. Psychological stress. Refers to the personal psychological and emotional changes of middle-aged men. Their physiological "menopause" effect is not obvious, but more "psychological menopause" including depression, anxiety, irritability, fatigue, self-pity, escape and other negative emotions, and they are tired of life. The most serious negative emotions are depression and escape, and they will not choose to talk to people around them. At the same time, they escape from others' evaluation of their present situation, and often immerse themselves in recalling their past and gain glory and self-satisfaction, which is their escape from reality.
5. Interpersonal stress. The crisis of interpersonal relationship is based on individual psychological and emotional changes and learning ability. They are content with the status quo and reject new things. They are surrounded by friends with the same negative emotions and lack learning ability. They live in a relatively static living environment, especially the generation over 40 years old has experienced more hardships. They are more likely to blame the society and have self-enclosed interpersonal relationships. Therefore, their views on the problem are stubborn and they enter old age early.
