A high school student was sleepy, and a checkup revealed that he was suffering from severe depression! Which key groups are more likely to have psychological problems?

Recently, it was reported that a high school sophomore had a strange symptom - sleepiness. Even if she rested on weekends and slept until noon, she still felt sleepy. Later, she went to a sleep clinic in a hospital. The doctor conducted a detailed examination and evaluation and found that she was depressed. This diagnosis surprised her family. It turned out that the child would appear positive and optimistic in front of others, and it was difficult for her family and friends to discover her inner emotional problems. I don’t know when it started, but I just wanted to sleep all day, I didn’t want to communicate with others, I didn’t want to go out, I had no motivation to do anything, and it was difficult to concentrate on completing my studies. I would often cry for no reason, feel that I was worse than others, and say that there was no meaning in my life. I have hurt myself many times by pinching my neck and hitting my head.

1. What are the causes of psychological problems?

October 10th is "World Mental Health Day" initiated by the World Psychiatric Association in 1992. Its significance is to raise public awareness of mental health.

This year is the 30th World Mental Health Day, and the theme of the event is "Youthful Mind, Youthful Youth". Teenagers may have these psychological problems, such as learning problems, emotional problems, sexual psychology and premature love problems, interpersonal relationship problems, etc. The impact of the Internet on teenagers is beyond imagination.

Psychological problems arise from many factors, including psychological, biological, and social environments. Studies have shown that depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, mental retardation and other diseases are related to genetic factors, while the early growth environment and current negative events are also very important reasons.

2. Which key groups are more likely to have psychological problems?

Therefore, generally speaking, some key groups are relatively more prone to psychological problems, such as corporate executives under great pressure, pregnant women, teenagers and children, and the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, who are in urgent need of attention.

"Anxiety" ranked first among the keywords of the year for Chinese white-collar workers in 2017. For example, they often regret and resent because they focus too much on the past: If I had worked a little harder when I took the postgraduate entrance examination, would I have been admitted now?

I am always anxious and nervous because I am too focused on the future:

I always worry that I won’t be able to graduate, find a job, or make friends. The consequences will be serious. I can’t afford a house. I’m 30 years old but have accomplished nothing. The number of abnormal physical examination indicators is increasing. I pretend not to care about all this, but I’m more anxious than anyone else. This also forces us to face one thing. To solve anxiety, it is not enough to just solve the things we think are important at the moment. The negative impact of anxiety and depression is much greater than we think.

3. In fact, the mind and body influence each other, that is, the body and mind are one.

Depression is very harmful. Severe depression can make patients lazy, lonely, and uninterested in everything, which can cause endocrine disorders or disturbances in the body. The result is the emergence of various physical diseases, such as constipation, headache, dizziness, chest tightness, shortness of breath, general weakness, palpitations, anorexia, weight loss and other physical problems. These physical diseases undoubtedly increase the mental and psychological suffering of patients, which in turn aggravates the symptoms of depression.

4. What should I do if I suffer from depression?

Patients with mild to moderate depression can be treated mainly with non-drug treatments.

For example, people who are under great pressure should try to find the source of their stress, find the crux of the problem, solve the problem from the source, and make more friends. Exercise has a very good effect on improving depression. Whether it is mountain climbing, swimming, playing ball, yoga, etc., just choose the exercise that suits you. Patients with severe depression must find a professional doctor for standardized treatment.

You can read the story book "Mr. Toad Goes to the Psychologist". The protagonist Toad is also such a "punishing bag". Faced with excessive control and accusations from his friends, he could only endure it silently, unable to defend himself, and finally fell into depression. Fortunately, after psychological counseling, Toad learned one thing - to express anger. He began to understand how he became depressed and how he got better. I hope his story can also inspire you.

Many times, the difficulties of things are often because we get stuck in a dead end and think too much. At this time, what you need to do is to change. Mental health is as important as physical health.
