Why is depression always difficult to cure over and over again?

 The treatment of depression is always repeated and tortures the body and mind. Why does it cause depression to be repeatedly difficult to treat?

1. History of multiple episodes of depression:

　　 For many patients with depression, the cognition that "the more the onset of depression, the longer it takes to take medication" is familiar to many patients.

　　 is generally not a problem in itself, but when we face relapse of depression, we also need to consider other predisposing factors for relapse of depression, such as the residual problems of treatment after the previous onset.

　　 To put it simply, this relapse of depression may be caused by incomplete treatment after the last episode.

As for the recurrence of depression, studies have shown that after the first depressive episode, 50%-85% of patients will relapse in the future, and as the number of recurrences increases, the risk of recurrence increases. With each additional episode, the risk increases approximately. 16%.

　　2. Stimulus on life events:

The stimulation of negative events in life will promote the recurrence of depression, which may put the patient in a high-risk state. These negative events include conflicts with the TA person, financial difficulties, unemployment, loss of love, divorce, and loss of important relatives. Wait.

　　 For example, the other half of someone suddenly proposes to divorce him, and he has no mental preparation. This is a sad thing for him. Sudden stimulation may cause him to be depressed.

　　3. Early onset should be noted:

　　For depression patients, regardless of the low-age or advanced-age depression caused by individual special factors, the age of onset of most depression patients is mostly between 20 and 30 years old.

　　 During this period of onset, if the patient's age of onset is younger, the probability of recurrence will be relatively greater.

　　 4. The patient’s character before illness:

Depression patients are often more pessimistic than ordinary people, but this does not mean that people who are often cheerful will not suffer from depression. Many depressed patients often tend to be pessimistic about the world. People with this kind of personality characteristics The risk of recurring depression is relatively high. According to the survey, the recurrence rate of introverted depression patients is much higher than that of extroverted patients.

　　 And this kind of habitually bad way of thinking, we call it a negative cognitive concept.

　　 This is like, many of our friends nowadays have the habit of taking out their mobile phones for a glance, and sometimes even if there is no information reminder, they will take out their mobile phones to swipe twice. This is a habit.

　　 5. The patient's compliance is relatively poor:

　　 The patient does not have a correct understanding of his mental illness, and always feels that he has depression as a "dreadful disease". Of course, there are still many people who misunderstand depression as a "hypocritical disorder" or a "disorder of wealth". If they cannot be treated correctly, the treatment will inevitably go into a misunderstanding.

　　 In addition, my own compliance is relatively poor, and I do not actively cooperate with professional treatment, or give up treatment directly. It is also possible that when they feel that their condition has improved, they will stop taking the medicine, but at this time they have not achieved a complete recovery, and the depression will easily relapse.

Depression patients need more care and companionship. The cause of their illness may also be the departure of certain people or the stimulation of certain things. As long as they untie their heart knots, they can help them get out of the shadows as soon as possible. , To welcome a better life; in addition, it is to actively seek professional treatment and carry out correct conditioning, thereby effectively reducing depression.
