How does depression feel? How to get along with people with depression? Are you in it?

 "A beautiful day has begun, and my mood is as sunny as the weather." A year later, I would never have thought that I still have such a happy time. Now I lost my happiness and the low mood overwhelmed me. , I can't laugh anymore. At first I thought it was just a sad day, however, one day, two days, three days... I was stuck in this emotion.

I lost interest in everything, the things I loved the most no longer attracted me, my energy seemed to have been taken away, I couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, couldn't concentrate, and my memory was lost bit by bit. I dare not let anyone know that I hid the pain, in fact, it has been going on, and finally, all this can no longer be hidden.

——The self-report of a depressed patient

What kind of feeling is depression?

Leslie Cheung jumped off the building, Van Gogh once cut off his ears, Hemingway put the gun into his mouth, Ruan Lingyu left the last words of "human words are terrible" and committed suicide by taking medicine...

One by one, one by one, what kind of pain should a person choose to end his life in this way and escape the world. Physical pain can still be cured by science, technology, and medical treatment, but what can pull a person who has no desire to survive from the line of death?

Today's urbanites seem to be like this: when a person is outside, there are two states in the day and night. When a person is at home, he will always be depressed and suffer from insomnia. In the eyes of friends, you will always look like the sun, no one understands what you are thinking behind the real you. That kind of loneliness is really easy to destroy a person.

Depression is a disease, not a weak personality, so don't shout at them to cheer up or make unfounded suggestions.

There is nothing wrong with showing kindness to patients, but for patients with depression, these "fuck" words will only make them feel worse. Don't tell them that there are people in this world who are worse than them. That will only increase their guilt and helplessness.

Many people will wonder whether to choose medication or psychological counseling for depression?

Antidepressants will improve the "biology" of abnormal changes, relieve symptoms of depression, and reduce the duration of depression. Psychological counseling and treatment will focus on the psychological factors related to the patient's disease, eliminate the "psychological cause" and enhance the "psychological resistance". The specific choice of treatment method needs to be combined with the patient's individual situation, such as the severity of the disease, the related factors of the disease, and the actual medical situation.

According to the severity of symptoms, depression can be divided into mild, moderate, and severe. Generally speaking, patients with mild or moderate depression may hope to achieve relief through self-adjustment and psychological counseling, while severe depression and some are not suitable. Or patients with moderate depression who do not have the conditions to achieve psychological counseling need the help of medication.

Depression belongs to the level of mental health. Mental health is an important part of health. Without mental health, there is no health. Mental disorders are not far away from us. Each of us may encounter mental problems at some stage in our lives.
