The pathological mechanism of depression is still not particularly clear, and it can also be said that the cause is unknown.
But what is certain now is that depression is directly related to biology, society and life.
Depression patients are mainly due to persistent depression, emotional instability, bad temper, decreased consciousness, decreased social identity, reluctance to contact with the outside world, decreased appetite, frequent insomnia, resistance to contact with people, negative attitude towards things, lack of self-confidence and self-security, and hostility towards friends and family.
The real depression is the alternating attack of anxiety and mania, which can be defined as real depression.
And most people are one-way anxious and depressed.
Now the so-called depression, a large number of people, just produced depression. Not up to the standard of illness.
But if this kind of depression is not controlled in time, it is likely to develop into a real depression.
The invisible depression now is the biggest harm to us normal people. On the surface, people with this kind of depression often don't see any difference from ordinary people, and their emotions are relatively stable. However, depression has reached an extreme accumulation. Once contact occurs, it is easy to explode the accumulated depression, with unimaginable consequences.
Therefore, in our daily life, we should always pay attention to the changes of people and emotions around us, which can provide us with good parameters.
In fact, depression is a kind of mental and psychological disorder that we usually encounter setbacks and difficulties, can not be vented in time and accumulated for a long time. When it can't contain itself, it will break out and make our hearts completely collapse.
Biological, caused by one's own body, mostly genetic, or biological changes in the body may also produce depression.
Social factors are one of the main causes of depression. Failure and frustration, unsatisfactory work, etc. May all form a hurdle in my heart. After this hurdle, it will pass. If you fail, you will accumulate. It is also a certain degree of emotional accumulation, which is not something you can absorb. When it reaches a peak, this negative emotion will also erupt, which will have a great impact on psychology.
In life, mainly due to family reasons, economic feelings or family chores, it may lead to the accumulation of psychological emotions, resulting in stress not being released, and it will become a heart disease over time, and the development of this heart disease has laid a certain foundation for depression. If this heart disease mood can be released in time, then people's mood will be relieved, otherwise it will develop like depression.
If you feel depressed, go to the hospital in time. After evaluation, it is diagnosed as depression, so you should treat it in time. If it is only depression, it should be adjusted in time.
Mild depression can be relieved by itself. Patients with moderate and severe depression must take medicine and cooperate with psychological and physical therapy, which is conducive to recovery as soon as possible.
There are three main factors affecting the onset of depression, namely, biological factors, psychological factors and social factors. Biological factors generally refer to brain infection, degeneration and injury. Psychological factors refer to innate personality characteristics, which are related to heredity. Social factors refer to the surrounding environment, psychological atmosphere, interpersonal relationship and so on.
Then the question is, why are there more and more depression now?
In fact, knowing the causes of depression makes this question easy to answer. Biological and psychological changes are relatively small, and people's personality characteristics are basically determined at birth. Later, personality remodeling was basically fine-tuning, and it was difficult to make essential changes.
However, in recent decades, great changes have taken place in the social environment, and people are facing increasingly fierce competition. In childhood, they have to attend various cram schools and all kinds of quality education, such as playing the piano, dancing, singing, playing ball games and skiing. Strive for academic first, style first and competition first when you are young. Before the middle school entrance examination, all kinds of exams are endlessly simulated and ranked, and various pressures lead to insomnia, anxiety and depression among middle school students. Going to college is even more stressful. I studied my major, engaged in extracurricular activities, fell in love, made friends, complicated interpersonal relationships, various experiences and various comparisons. More importantly, we should graduate smoothly, take the postgraduate entrance examination, study abroad and find a good job. When you work, you have to formally enter the society, earn money, buy a house and a car, get married and start a business, deal with leaders, subordinates, colleagues and acquaintances, and participate in various interpersonal relationships. If you can't cope well, you will have pressure. After getting married and having a small family of our own, how to manage our own feelings and handle the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is really in front of us. If you have a child, you should worry that the child will be dumped by others. Quality, study, various cram schools, and start the next cycle you have experienced.
These pressures will increase with the increase of social competition, but not everyone can't bear it. Only those who are fragile and have low social adaptability will suffer from depression.
The main characteristics of depression are depression, slow thinking, slow response and reduced activity. There will be insomnia, waking up early, talking less, being lazy, unhappy, unwilling to talk, not smiling, and the most serious will be pessimism, self-harm and suicide.
The treatment of depression is mainly drug therapy, and most of the depression has a good therapeutic effect, and patients with the first onset will generally achieve clinical recovery. The key point is to insist on taking medicine and check regularly to prevent recurrence.
Depression is a very common mental illness, and it is also very common now. The main inducement of this mental illness lies in the pressure of external environment, the depression of internal psychology and the emotional damage caused. Most people in this world are generally poor in their ability to mediate emotions, so it is easy to lead to depression and illness.
On the one hand, the poor ability to mediate emotions, on the other hand, the rapid social development, resulting in greater social pressure than in the past. Stress increases faster than emotional digestion, leading to psychological collapse. Have you found that when the living conditions were poor before, but the pressure was not so great, few people would get depression. Now the living conditions have improved, but the pressure of life and work has become greater, and people around them are more or less depressed. Therefore, stress is one of the main causes of depression.
In addition, China people's unique "rules" are also one of the reasons for the pressure. In countries with relatively sound laws, the law they need to follow is the law itself. As long as you don't break the law, you are a good man.
But in China, there is another existence above the law, and that is morality. Morality is intangible and multifaceted, and there is no unified measure. For example, if an adult does not give up his seat to the elderly on the bus, he will be labeled as immoral for not respecting the elderly. But what if this person has bad legs or feet, or is sick? Have you seen Chen Kaige's Search?
So in China, some invisible pressure comes from the ethereal morality. I'm not saying you shouldn't be a moral person. Lao Tzu once said that Tao can be Tao, which is unusual. If morality can be spoken and measured, it is not morality itself.
Finally, there is the pressure caused by China's educational methods and competitive thinking instilled from childhood. You have been taking part in individual competitions since elementary school. The pressure of exams, the pressure of teachers, the pressure of parents, and the pressure of other people's children have existed since you were a child. When you enter the society, there will be competition at work. Well, I finally retired, and the comparison between the old people about whose children are more filial and promising has never stopped. Even if it is said to die, it is decent to die, and the aftermath is not beautiful, but it is still relatively moderate. No business, no killing, no comparison, no anxiety. Learn to keep your initial heart, so that you can face pressure with a broader mind.
Why are more and more people suffering from depression? What caused it?
For the first question. I don't know how to calculate the title I think ancient science is underdeveloped, and there are not many official records about depression! Even if there is, the understanding of this disease is limited to the level of Chinese medicine. How many people got depression in ancient times? I don't know much, and I didn't go online to search for answers. I don't know. If we say that modern people have relatively more depression, I beg to differ.
I remember going to the gym the day before yesterday and meeting two women by chance. We started chatting because we worked out together. Of these two people, one is born after 60 and the other is born after 50. The 60-year-old said he was in poor health after 50, and now he looks much better. Her words caught my attention. I asked 50 questions and said, "Look at your red face and hair. Hanging bars are better than her (I mean after 60). What's wrong with you? "
After 50, the woman said, "I often feel dizzy!" " "
I said, "What did the hospital say?"
After 50, the woman said: "No problem was found, saying that the blood supply to the brain is insufficient!" "
I said, "Insomnia?"
After 50, the woman said, "I have been insomnia for a long time, and now I am taking Chinese medicine!" " "
I said, "you are not short of blood supply to your brain, but a little depressed!" "
I went on to say, "You were right to go to a general hospital for examination. This is called sickness payment. There is nothing wrong with your hardware. It is estimated that you are also anxious, depressed and flustered. "
After 50, the woman said, "Yes, all the time. How can you be in a good mood? " I was really flustered for a while. "
I said, "You should exercise for a while and continue to take your Chinese medicine. If you really can't, go to a mental hospital and have a look! " ! You are a autonomic nervous disorder! Treat insomnia first and have a good sleep! "She agreed, and then I recommended a hospital to her.
In fact, in the hospital, in this summer, patients came and went, and suddenly two students came. One is 2 1 year-old, female; 17 year old female.
I asked this 17-year-old student what happened to her health, and she said she was stressed.
I said, "What's so hard about that?"
She said, "Headache, dizziness."
2 1 year-old students said that no one understood her. According to my observation, she is still a little manic.
It seems that the family doesn't understand the patients, and the school puts a lot of pressure on them. Stepping into society is like going to hell …
For the second question, what are the causes of depression? Facts are influenced by genetic factors, and also have a lot to do with external environmental factors and my personality characteristics. I've seen twins hospitalized.
Through talking with patients and self-investigation, most patients have a history of genetic diseases. Relatives of depressed patients are much more likely to suffer from depression than ordinary people, up to 30 times! For families with depression, the closer the blood relationship, the higher the incidence. If you want to burn incense, you must choose carefully.
If you want to know why there are more and more people suffering from depression, you must first know what causes depression.
There are seven main reasons for depression: 1, the psychosocial factors of depression. 2. Causes of depression: genetic factors. 3. Causes of depression: biochemical factors. 4. Causes of depression: biological rhythm changes. 5, the cause of depression: physical illness. 6. Causes of depression: personality and personality. 7. Depression caused by other reasons, such as certain drugs can cause depression. In addition, frequent excessive drinking can sometimes lead to depression.
In my opinion, social factors, personality and personality are the reasons for the increasing number of patients with depression. Social factors: people's pace of life is accelerating, work pressure is increasing, and psychological problems are prone to occur. Personality, personality factors: Now there are so many only children, if parents do not educate their children correctly, children are prone to psychological problems. Moreover, introverted people are sensitive in their hearts and have a negative way of thinking, which is prone to psychological problems of depression.
Nearly 90% of Hong Kong entertainers are prone to depression, and both Leslie Cheung and Pauline Chan committed suicide due to severe depression. Sammi Cheng, Daniel Wu, May, Jason, Yao Di, Mavis Fan and other dozens of stars have publicly admitted that they suffer from depression.
Cui Yongyuan once said, "I just want to tell you that there is such a disease (depression). I hope everyone can know that if you have such a friend who has this disease, I hope you will not discriminate against him and then encourage him to see a doctor. The doctor can help him solve this problem. "
That's exactly what I want to say.
Why are more and more people suffering from depression? What is the reason?
In fact, depression has always existed, but the proportion has risen rapidly in recent years. According to the statistics published by WTO, there are 322 million depressive patients in the world and 654.38+0 billion in China. The world's attention to the spirit has also increased accordingly.
Why are more and more people suffering from depression? What is the reason?
Judging from some current phenomena, the incidence of depression is very high, and many people suffer from depression, especially teenagers. It is of great significance for colleges and universities to analyze the causes of depression and effectively prevent it.
According to the communication with some patients with depression, it is found that sensitive and suspicious personality, mistakes and failures in life, work and study, and negative self-evaluation are the main factors that form depression. Think about it carefully, no one can be smooth sailing, and everyone will encounter difficulties and bumps. The key is how they deal with difficulties. If they encounter difficulties, they will be anxious, belittle themselves, enlarge the difficulty of the problem, and easily form depression or even depression.
So the core factors of depression are sensitive and suspicious personality, insecurity and high basic anxiety. This character is not inherited, but is caused by less encouragement, more criticism and more criticism in the process of growing up. In addition, when children get results, they are not allowed to fail, and they also think that they are not doing well enough, so they should continue to work hard, which forms the personality characteristics of children who are afraid of failure and expect high anxiety.
Changing the concept of family education, encouraging children more, allowing children to fail and cultivating children's self-confidence are the keys to prevent depression.
Why, now more and more people get depressive neurosis?
1, our animal instinct naturally seeks outward, first seeking material aspects and then seeking spiritual aspects.
For many countries where food and clothing are not solved, the demand and expansion of animal instinct is still at a very low level.
In such an environment, the requirements of animal instinct are not much, and they will not be over-inflated.
Once the society develops, especially the market economy.
Material is extremely rich, and after the demand for food and clothing is solved,
Animal instinct began to stir.
Desire for love, sex, freedom, respect, security and knowing the world.
With the further development of market economy. Germinate one by one
This transformation of human society from food and clothing to high-level demand
It just changes with personal needs from childhood to adolescence.
Amazing similarity
The expansion and expansion of animal instinct
There are several characteristics.
(1) Absolute, inevitable and eternal
Everyone is an animal.
Everyone's animal instinct develops from the bottom up.
This kind of expansion cannot be denied, avoided or suppressed.
Accompany everyone's life
Accompanied by generations of mankind
(2) The original purpose of expansion is to survive. On the contrary, it is to prevent death.
In order to prevent death, people in lower countries mainly work, grow food, get food, exchange clothes and shelter.
Fear and anxiety about lack of food and clothing are the most important.
In a relatively developed society, there will be a symbolic thing: culture.
Because the desire for love, sex, freedom, respect, security and knowing the world began to swell.
On the other hand, there is the fear of lovelessness and loneliness, lack of sex, bondage, discrimination, loss, ignorance and emptiness that people in lower countries lack.
For people in relatively developed countries, the total loss of these advanced needs will gradually become equivalent to the fear of death.
No love, no sex, no freedom, no respect, no sense of security, no cognition, is death.
Culture and all its elements will be mobilized.
Serve these fears
Film and television works, artists, unique arts, gangs, mobile entertainment and so on.
All walks of life have prospered for this.
All kinds of labels that have never been created before are created.
(3) Expansion is accompanied by labeling, perfectionism and dependence.
Culture spreads with education, media, family and friends.
Tags are not just created to understand the simple functions of the world.
"Success or failure", reputation, status, wealth, face value, national strength.
Being digitized and compared, people pay more and more attention to things that can be compared quickly, and pay more and more attention to the results and ignore the process.
The more so, the more important the label is, the more it prevents death, and the deeper the fear of death.
Hunger and cold is the most terrible thing in the bottom society.
Hungry makes people panic, and cold makes people weak.
In a relatively developed country, it is more hungry and cold.
More and more labels are whitewashed and packaged.
Not only can it fill the emptiness, but it is also decorated as if it will never be empty once it is filled.
All kinds of fantasies in culture, all kinds of seemingly correct comments, all kinds of moral models, all kinds of radiant characters, and radiant roles in TV dramas.
Various harmonious slogans
Makes you more and more obsessed with
As long as you work hard, perfection is at your fingertips.
Your idol is perfect, but you are not perfect enough.
Everything that meets a certain standard is perfect.
The combination of labeling and perfectionism produces a fortress, which is called defense in psychology.
2. It turns out that only people are hungry for food and clothing.
Through the development of market economy and personal development, some basic needs have emerged. On the other hand, there is a lot of fear of death.
Out of extreme fear of death, the inner demand for food, clothing, housing and transportation will expand more and more.
What should we do?
So we built one fortress after another in our hearts.
I hope I will never feel anxious, hungry or empty.
give one's full backing (to)
Why can you form neurosis?
(1) Being deprived of basic animal instincts from childhood, such as love, security, respect and sense of value.
(2) inherited the sensitivity and love of thinking.
(3) Cultural environment and social atmosphere have influenced the perspective of looking at problems.
These three points, as long as there is a little, may produce neurosis.
In other words, everyone has neurosis.
Neurosis is absolute, but the degree is serious.
How is neurosis formed?
(1) Fear of death
(2) Fear of life
(3) Relying on the fortress, stick to the two poles.
As mentioned above, fear of death is the first source of depression.
The consequence of fear of death is to desperately build a fortress on the road of expansion.
People who are afraid of being lovelorn try their best to recover, think about what they have done badly, fantasize about what to do if they break up, and be agitated if they don't break up.
People who are afraid of failing in the exam desperately look at their watches, respect the score list and believe in the fortress built by their tutors.
People who are afraid of depression try their best to make a scale, take medicine and ask questions.
Psychological association, afraid of no visible achievements, tries its best to visualize, quantify and medicate psychological problems.
Expanding the fortress is very fascinating, because physically it is used to asking for it from the outside, and psychologically it is used to thinking that the outside is the whole value.
So the banner of expanding the fortress is: perfect determination.
Fear of life is the second root of depression, which is also directly visible.
The pursuit of perfection, the pursuit of certainty, and the construction of fortresses are always ghostly cries.
Because it is challenging the laws of the universe.
Imperfection and uncertainty are absolute and eternal.
People with depression have one thing in common.
Because of frustration, deprivation, injury
It is better to deny repression and escape animal instinct, and never expand.
They built forts at the starting point of expansion.
Before the animal instinct was extinguished, it was pulled into the fortress and locked up.
But animal instinct and expansion are absolute.
So some depressed people are compressed except food and clothing.
Of course, the fortress built on the road of expansion has never fallen down.
One is particularly striking: I have exogenous diseases, which can be solved by exogenous means and I have to take medicine.
Especially once I am diagnosed with depression, I can know myself quickly, perfectly and clearly.
You can also use this perfect and definite label to explain to your parents, school, friends, lovers and society.
I can continue to fill my empty heart.
In the later period of depression, the fortress of taking medicine generally doesn't work.
The flags of the starting point fortress are: powerlessness, hopelessness and helplessness.
Since there is no perfection, what can we do?
Since there is no label to compare with others, what am I still doing alive?
Eager for perfection, but powerless at the same time.
Maintain the minimum living requirements outside, and live by eating fortresses inside.
Depression originated in the west.
Why? Westerners first developed the market economy, paying the most attention to "things", that is, the most attention to visible labels.
Science comes from the west.
In our society, there has been a tendency of excessive scientism.
With this article, I want to sing a different tune to the "normal" field of psychology that is caught in scientism and interest groups selling rice and medicine.
Dialogue, facing the heart directly, is the ultimate way out for non-psychotic psychological problems.
It is useless to rely on the outside for internal problems.
As long as the client's self-knowledge and willingness are good and conform to the three principles of non-schizophrenia, it should be solved through pure psychological consultation.
The psychological consultation that can really solve the problem should be in the psychological institution of pure market economy, not the public hospital of planned economy.
finally
The bottom society looks unpretentious, and people's life ideas are simple.
Just like North Korea today.
Many people miss it.
There is no depression in the older generation, but there is depression in our generation.
Developing market economy makes people ugly.
It seems that these words are reasonable.
But from my consulting philosophy, it is wrong.
Social development and human development have the same effect.
When I was young, I was simple. When I was young, I had more desires and more pains.
If only I had always been a child.
Just like the early Marxists, they miss the ancient clan commune very much.
Everything is distributed by the public.
No competition, no exploitation, no struggle.
People and clan atmosphere in clan commune period.
Let people miss it very much.
However, it is these nostalgic clan people who, as soon as they developed into the tribal period, madly killed for the surplus products.
Show a more cruel side than wild animals.
This tells us that simplicity that has not been honed by darkness, interests, anxiety and pain is false.
The expansion of animal instinct is inevitable and eternal.
It is also inevitable to enter the market economy.
The increase of depression and adolescent troubles are inevitable.
True light comes from darkness.
The source of depression.
There are mainly the following aspects
First, congenital factors, when the baby is born, people with acute congenital emotions are prone to depression.
Second, genetic factors, family members suffering from depression, especially both parents, are prone to depression.
Third, there will be more family factors.
1, the child is in trouble and the family turns a blind eye.
2, taboo to express sad family atmosphere.
3. Mainstream family morality regards sadness and other forms of self-comfort as selfishness, and children will cultivate a sense of guilt, make them accustomed to hiding their vulnerability, and agree that strict parents hate their weakness.
4. Parents are too strict, which will lead children to feel abandoned, thus forming a tendency to depression.
Fourth, social pressure.
Physiological factors, such as postpartum depression, are caused by high progesterone levels during pregnancy and a sharp drop in progesterone levels after pregnancy.
Typical symptoms are depression, slow thinking, reduced or slow speech movements.
