From 2065438 to 2008, the survey report of a research institution in Britain showed that nearly 93.65% of the respondents showed a certain degree of mental illness, among which the prevalence rate of depression was as high as 86.42%.
So, what kind of disease is depression? Why do you get depression? What are its symptoms?
Let's answer this question for our friends.
Depression, also known as depressive disorder, is characterized by obvious and persistent depression and is the main type of mood disorder.
In addition, some people say that I am in a bad mood today, not necessarily depression. From the point of view of disease, depression has certain diagnostic criteria. To a certain extent, it will be considered as depression. For example, for a while, I was depressed and very unhappy. For two weeks, I was unhappy, insomnia, bad appetite and lack of motivation.
At present, there are many influencing factors of depression, such as living environment, work pressure and physical fitness, which will lead to different degrees of depression. There is no standard answer in the field of psychopsychiatry, but it can be divided into the following reasons:
1. Biological factors-mainly related to genetic characteristics, physiological changes, neuroendocrine, etc.
2. Psychological factors-precursor personality factors related to depression, such as depressive temperament.
3. Social environment factors-sudden stress events during growing up often become the main key to clinical diagnosis of depression.
With the rapid development of today's society, the level of urbanization is getting higher and higher, the population density is increasing, and the demand for talents is becoming more and more specialized, so the pressure of job competition is increasing and the cost of living is high. With the constant changes in the current social environment, our living environment often changes. For example, family relations, friends relations, working environment, public opinion and other social factors are constantly changing, constantly affecting our body and mind, leading to psychological barriers and mental disorders.
Over time, mental illness began to appear.
Symptoms include depression, loss of interest and pleasure, fatigue, decreased attention, low self-evaluation, self-guilt, pessimism about the future, suicidal behavior or self-harm concept, sleep disorder and loss of appetite.
1. Depression: People with depression are generally depressed and often "unhappy". This kind of unhappiness is significant and lasting, and usually gives people a feeling of being preoccupied or gloomy, which makes ordinary people shudder. Gloomy, usually a normal person has unhappy things, which will gradually fade away with the passage of time, while people with depression will not. They will remember things that make them depressed clearly, even every detail, and they will often recall their experiences without feeling any signs of happiness.
2. Loss of interest and pleasure: unable to touch new things, people with depression can't touch and adapt to the upcoming life and social environment, and can't integrate into a group or class, thus moving towards a world farther and farther away from reality and sinking into their own world.
3. Easy to get tired: it is characterized by slow movement and can't exercise like normal people. Even if I was in good health before, I always felt tired and didn't like sports.
4. Attentional decline: it is often manifested as being easily distracted when studying, and visiting when hearing any external voice; It is difficult to do things for a long time, and often one thing is not finished, and another thing is finished; When talking to him, he is often absent-minded and seems to be listening to him; Often forget things in daily activities; Something lost or especially cherished (as usual, making clothes, books, etc. Dirty and messy).
5. Low self-evaluation: often manifested as self-denial. A person suffering from depression usually tends to deny himself too much. Even if I was confident before, I would give up on myself.
6. Self-guilt: It is a subjective feeling. When a person does something that he feels is against his conscience, he will regret his behavior afterwards.
7. Pessimism about the future: People with depression often feel helpless.
8. Self-injury suicide behavior or concept: too negative. A patient with depression is extremely miserable and pessimistic, feels that life cannot last, is full of fear and helplessness for the future life, and often has the idea of seeking death.
9. Sleep disorder: abnormal sleep amount and abnormal behavior during sleep.
10. Others often have symptoms such as loss of appetite, foreign body sensation in throat, abnormal defecation, chest tightness, palpitation, low libido, menstrual disorder and weight change.
1, Strengthen interpersonal communication: To prevent depression, we must first maintain basic communication and social relations and communicate with family and friends frequently.
2. Adjust your diet: Good eating habits are an effective way to adjust your body function.
3. Exercise and exercise: People can improve their mood through exercise and effectively improve their depression.
4, don't blame yourself: depression is a disease, you have no ability to create or choose it. So, don't blame yourself for getting this damn disease, but understand that you need help urgently and actively embark on the road of seeking rehabilitation treatment.
5. Do a good job in mental health education: publicize the knowledge of mental health education to the public and provide psychological counseling.
Finally, I hope everyone can develop good living habits, keep a happy mood and stay away from illness.

? There are many people suffering from depression in society now. What are the manifestations of depression?
Depression is a group of clinical diseases characterized by typical symptoms such as depression, slow thinking, decreased speech and slow action. Although depression does not immediately endanger patients' lives, it will seriously disrupt patients' normal work, life and study, and bring a heavy burden to families and society. Among all patients, about 15% will choose to commit suicide.
Why are there so many people suffering from depression in society now? The reason for this is the following：
I. Social and environmental factors
As mankind enters the civilized modern society, the pace of life is accelerated and the work pressure is great. Bad life events keep appearing. Stimulate people's brain nerves. Excessive mental stress has a dual impact on body and mind. Especially those who have been in violence, neglect, abuse or poverty for a long time are more likely to get depression.
Second, life events stimulate.
Such as life emergencies, traffic accidents, divorce mornings, etc. Can lead to reactive depression. In particular, chronic life stress can also make people have hair, such as fierce competition and persistent mental tension, which can make people suffer from reactive depression.
Third, the age factor
Especially in menopause, because of the great physiological changes, at the same time, the hormone level in the body is reduced, the immune function is also reduced, and the function of neuroendocrine system is gradually weakened. This part of the population is facing the pressure of work, family, life and society. If it exceeds his tolerance, it will produce obvious depression changes.
Fourth, postpartum depression.
Maternal psychological maladjustment, lack of sleep, excessive fatigue and so on. Will occur in 10% to 20% of parturients without intervention. Postpartum depression.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) Depression caused by physical illness.
Some common diseases can also induce depression, such as hypothyroidism, cancer and cerebral arteriosclerosis. Chronic diseases such as stroke and Parkinson's disease can induce depression.
Depression has three obvious characteristics: depression, mental retardation and exercise inhibition.
Depression means that no matter what happens, you are always unhappy, in a state of anxiety and sadness all day, and even feel pessimistic and desperate. Everything is the worst, you are not interested in anything, and some people even commit suicide.
Thinking slowly, I feel that my brain is not enough, it is not easy to use, my memory is declining, I encounter great difficulties and efforts when thinking, and I feel that my thinking is interrupted and I can't think.
Exercise inhibition means that people become inactive, inactive, lazy and dull after suffering from depression. In severe cases, people will not eat or drink, and they can't take care of themselves.
What needs to be specially explained here is that if some of the above symptoms are serious and partially relieved in the afternoon or evening, and there is a performance of "early light and late heavy", it often suggests that there is a greater possibility of suffering from depression, which is also a rhythmic change feature of depression.
Patients with depression must first learn to adjust their mentality and correctly understand that people can't survive without the objective environment. People who are unhappy in life will have this kind of problem in nine times out of ten. We should not fantasize, shrink back or escape the bad events and difficulties in our initial life. We can find bosom friends and tell them our troubles, and don't take them to heart, let alone get caught up in them. If conditions permit, you can consult a psychologist.
Family support is also important. Family support can buffer the psychological pressure of patients with depression, so as to prevent or alleviate their illness. In particular, don't use suggestive words such as "metamorphosis, neuropathy and psychosis" to stimulate depressed patients. But to give them more understanding, give them spiritual comfort and help in life.
Hello, I'm glad to answer your question!
I have been in contact with some depressed patients at work, and I have to say that there are really many depressed patients now, which is not shocking! Patients with depression are not groundless, and their progressive influence must have its reasons. Depression is not acquired suddenly, but suddenly you are depressed. That can only say that you are suddenly in a bad mood, or you may have a mental illness, and mental illness is accompanied by a depressive episode!
The definition of occupational depression, experts and professors are saying, it is meaningless for me to tell you again from their words. I will emphasize that the definition of depression refers to persistent depression, persistent self-denial, and it must be persistent. How long will it last? At least 2 weeks, longer!
Why are so many people suffering from depression now? It is necessary to know the cause of depression! In the final analysis, depression is also an emotional adjustment disorder. People have many emotions, happy and sad. You must have encountered something that makes you unhappy in your own life. Combined with what I said earlier, if something makes you unhappy continuously, such as unsatisfactory work, frequent domestic violence by colleagues and frequent quarrels with your husband, then there will be too many things! Secondly, it can also be because of something, such as breaking up with my boyfriend, divorce between husband and wife, or the simplest debt!
Finally, talk about two depressed patients I met! One of them is a 2 1 year-old young woman, a network anchor. Because she is heavily in debt, she is unable to pay back the money, and she is afraid to tell her parents. After a long time, she will be depressed! The other is a middle-aged man, the head of the family, because the family pressure is too great, a person desperately makes money but still can't meet his expectations. After a long time, he felt more and more useless, and then he was depressed!
Therefore, the causes of depression, on the one hand, are all kinds of negative events, the continuous stimulation of negative emotions, on the other hand, their ability to regulate emotions is not good!
Finally, to answer your question, what are the manifestations of patients with depression? Must be persistent depression and moping; Continuous behavior decreases, I don't want to move all day, I don't want to go out, I don't want to watch TV, I just want to be alone; Constant self-denial is very important. My teacher once told me that this is the most important basis to distinguish whether I am in a bad mood or just depressed for a while. Do I have persistent self-denial and feel that I am a useless person! Depression has some other accompanying symptoms, such as psychotic symptoms and anxiety symptoms!
The diagnosis of depression is not easy, and it is by no means possible to judge whether a person is depressed in two sentences, because there are too many reasons leading to depression, and the diagnosis can only be made under the professional evaluation of a specialist!
I hope my answer is helpful to you!
The world is under great pressure every day. All mental diseases represented by depression and integration disorder are caused by "psychological stress".
At present, the pace of life is fast and the pressure is high. Acquired depression is the lack of serotonin caused by living habits. Nowadays, the increase of depression is closely related to lifestyle habits such as irregular work and rest and computer addiction.
Depression is a common emotional experience. We sometimes feel depressed for no reason, but not all depression is depression. Only when this mental state is very serious and lasts for two weeks or more can it be considered as depression. Self-identification of depressive symptoms is:
① Self-evaluation or self-worth declines; 2 changes in sleep patterns, such as insomnia or intermittent sleep; ③ Changes in appetite or weight; (4) Emotional control ability is reduced, and it is easy to get angry or feel guilty, or it is easy to fall into pessimism, anger and anxiety; ⑤ The mood changes in one day; ⑥ The ability to experience pleasure declines; ⑦ The tolerance to pain is reduced; 8 sexual impulses are reduced or disappeared; Pet-name ruby attention is difficult to concentrate, memory loss; Attending to reduce the motivation of life-feel that everything is meaningless or nothing worth doing; ? The level of vitality drops.
First, why are so many people suffering from depression now?
On the one hand, due to the accelerated pace of life and the increasing pressure, the rapid development of the national economy will inevitably bring a series of social problems. The gap between the rich and the poor, the gap between urban and rural areas, the unfair distribution of educational and medical resources, the rising divorce rate and the increase of single-parent left-behind children. According to Freud's psychoanalysis, a person's childhood life will have a great influence on his adult growth. Therefore, while social problems are increasing, depression is also increasing. In fact, not only depression, but also bipolar disorder and schizophrenia are increasing, but they are not known by the media.
On the other hand, it is because of the increase of media reports. With the exposure of depression in Leslie Cheung and Cui Yongyuan, the public began to be curious about depression. In order to satisfy the public's curiosity, the media will inevitably publicize it, so depression appears more and more in words. Another reason is that more and more people with depression are more open-minded. They will not be afraid to go to the hospital, but will be brave enough to go to the hospital. On the other hand, with the development of medicine, depression began to be independent in the form of a disease, and it was no longer simply called mental illness.
Second, what are the manifestations of patients with depression?
First, emotional symptoms commonly used adjectives: sadness, depression, helplessness, misfortune, despair, loneliness, unhappiness, depression, uselessness, frustrated self-esteem, shame, anxiety and worthlessness. The most obvious emotional symptoms: sadness, self-blame and anxiety. Symptoms change at different times, especially in the morning. Lose satisfaction and numb the fun of life. A person who likes to make friends and get together very much avoids all social activities after illness. A gourmet whose eyes glowed at a food party lost interest in food.
Second, cognitive symptoms. There is a dark cloud on his head and sunglasses in his eyes. Everything is gloomy and negative. Feel incompetent and doomed to failure. I feel inferior, I feel that failure is my own problem, my own responsibility, and I feel extremely guilty. If you are pessimistic about the future, there is no point in doing anything. There are many reasons for future failure, but none of them supports its success.
Third, the symptoms of motivation. People with depression have great problems getting up, working and even having fun. Students have lost their enthusiasm for learning; Students who used to be among the best are no longer willing to study. The enthusiasm for work is gone forever, and going to work becomes boring. If you don't want to go to work, you just want to lie in bed and stare at the ceiling. Making decisions becomes difficult and terrible. Even if this decision is very important to him, he often loses courage because he is afraid of making the wrong decision.
There are more and more people suffering from depression, which is related to the rapid development of real society. Especially in the first-tier cities like Beishangguang, people must continue to be excellent to prove their ability. Once you find that you are no longer excellent, people are likely to be in a dangerous state of depression.
The manifestations of depression in the workplace;
1, dissatisfied with life, such as my job is meaningless; I may never find someone who likes me; I'm not happy at all.
2, procrastination: "give up halfway", procrastination leads to low work efficiency, resulting in a sense of self-blame.
3, lack of focus, lack of planning, lack of efficiency, feel the pressure of work. Without a plan, you can't stick to it. If you step on watermelon skin, you can count it, and you can take a negative evasive behavior towards reality.
4. I'm not satisfied with my job, I feel very tired, I don't like my present job, I have a lot of responsibilities but I don't have the ability, I want to change my job and I have no action.
5, social withdrawal: high pressure and low efficiency, time spent on completing work, fatigue and no time to accompany friends, friends are married.
6. It is difficult to establish intimate relationships.
People who are often prone to depression have had excellent moments, and when they feel bad, they are depressed.
Depression is like a cloudy state without sunshine in one's inner world. If you get out of depression soon, you need sunshine to get rid of the haze.
Dear subject, hello, I'm Cunguang, and I'm honored to answer your question.
Facing the rapid development of society, people's quality of life and level have been greatly improved, and correspondingly, the cost of living has also increased a lot. It used to be good for people to live, but now it's good for people to live.
An adult has to bear many living costs, such as alimony for the elderly, education expenses for children, food, clothing, housing and transportation for the family, and interpersonal expenses for relatives, friends, colleagues and classmates. It seems that the burden of an adult is really too heavy.
In the old society, living conditions were very poor. People have suffered a lot, are hungry and frozen, and their greatest wish is to eat enough and wear warm clothes.
But now, after 80, 90 and 00, due to the improvement of living conditions, they have not encountered too many difficulties or setbacks. In contrast, their lives are smoother and happier. They have never suffered, and their ability to withstand pressure is definitely weak.
According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, when people meet the lower-level physiological needs, they will gradually rise to higher-level needs, such as paying more attention to self-esteem and spiritual pursuit.
When they slowly leave their parents' protection and go to the workplace, they will find that not everyone is very protective of them, and some even make things difficult for them maliciously. If their studies or work are not smooth, they will feel more depressed than the happiness they get from their parents, which will lead to further psychological stress.
Human psychology is like a rubber band. If you pull it too tightly, it will eventually break.
1, persistent depression;
3, the energy state is obviously reduced, that is, it is easy to feel tired, unable to do things, unable to talk and walk. In severe cases, the whole body may be stiff and unable to move;
These are just some manifestations of depression. If necessary, I still hope to go to a hospital or psychological counseling center and find a psychological counselor or doctor for a detailed diagnosis.
If you don't want too much trouble, you can also go online to find some scales for self-evaluation. We often use the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS). You can find it in Baidu Library. If you can't find it, you can trust me privately, but the amount of questions is relatively large and you need patience.
I'll answer this question.
Everyone may have depression. When encountering some blows, the brain is full of negative emotions such as sadness and pain. By doing something that makes you happy, diverting your attention and relaxing yourself, you can effectively get rid of this emotion.
If he is depressed, fishing and other things he usually likes will temporarily make him forget his depression, especially when the fish bites the hook, and he will feel happy and excited.
Depression is different.
Among mental diseases, depression is a common disease, and its incidence is on the rise in the world in recent years.
Depression is characterized by significant and persistent depression.
According to the severity of symptoms, it can be divided into mild, moderate and severe depression, and the difference of different degrees depends on complex clinical judgment.
The main clinical manifestations of depression include three main symptoms, namely, what we often call "three lows": slow thinking, low mood and reduced will activity; In addition, patients will also be accompanied by symptoms such as inattention, reduced diet, sleep problems (such as difficulty falling asleep and waking up early) and sexual dysfunction.
People with depression often show low self-evaluation and feel incompetent and useless. I am not interested in what I am usually interested in, and the overall performance is a lack of pleasure.
They often feel that living is boring and they might as well die. In severe cases, there will be thoughts and behaviors of self-harm and suicide.
Suicide is the greatest danger of depression.
