Writing a thesis is stressful! Female graduate students gained 20 kilograms in February.
Do you often overeat to relieve stress? Be careful that you will be more stressed after you gain weight! A 25-year-old female graduate student surnamed Lin felt the pressure to prepare her master's thesis soon after graduation. She often uses overeating to express her stress. She gained about 20 pounds unconsciously in two months, and her mood was even lower. After being diagnosed by a psychiatrist, she found that the original patient suffered from psychogenic overeating.

Relieve the pressure of writing papers by overeating and beware of psychogenic overeating. Huang Xiangxiong, director of psychosomatic department of Children's General Hospital, said that the cause of psychogenic overeating is unknown, but it may be related to stress, which often occurs in the process of coping with stress, and obesity is caused by overeating. Both this disease and bulimia have symptoms of overeating. However, psychogenic bulimia is caused by psychological factors. Patients will eat unconsciously under pressure, but there will be no excessive weight loss measures such as vomiting. The typical "bulimia" is due to excessive emphasis on weight control, so that extreme measures are taken to reduce the obesity effect after eating, such as self-vomiting, abuse of intestinal drugs and so on. It is easy to cause physical complications.

Dr. Huang Xiangxiong further stated that the pressure of modern people's lives is increasing. If there is no suitable channel of expression, excessive psychological burden will easily lead to physical discomfort. If "psychogenic overeating" occurs in the process of coping with stress, like Miss Lin, it is caused by overeating. It is suggested to give drugs under the doctor's diagnosis, arrange psychological treatment and improve her stress coping style, which can gradually alleviate the phenomenon of overeating and rapid weight gain.

In addition, people who are stressed on weekdays, whether because of heavy schoolwork, stressful life, busy work or interpersonal troubles, doctors suggest that it is best to cultivate suitable ways to relieve stress, such as exercise, dancing, mountain climbing, singing, sitting quietly, practicing Qigong, etc., because only by learning how to release stress correctly can we maintain physical and mental health.
