The incidence of depression among college students is increasing year by year. What do you think of this problem?
Hello! I'm glad to answer your question about our common interests. I had been depressed for quite a long time before. How did I do it?

To answer this question, we need to know what depression is:

College students' depression is characterized by persistent depression, obvious decline in interest in having dinner with friends and classmates or participating in community activities, unwillingness to communicate with others, silent tears, sudden weight gain or loss, and frequent drowsiness but inability to sleep at night. It just seems no different from ordinary people sometimes. Of course, this is not limited to college students.

According to Deng Xiaohong, spokesman of Beijing Municipal Health Bureau, the proportion of college students with serious psychological problems is increasing year by year. The common manifestations are obsessive-compulsive symptoms, depression, interpersonal sensitivity, hostility and anxiety. It can be seen that depression is getting younger and younger, and more and more people are troubled by it.

The most serious mental illness among college students is the psychological problem caused by employment. Secondly, it is inadaptability to the new environment and social discomfort. The third is love and sex. The university stage is a critical period for the development of sexual psychology, and it is easy to produce depression under the frustration of love, and even more serious psychological problems, such as suicide, impulsiveness, wounding and so on. Are all unhealthy behaviors.

For individuals: In fact, the psychological problems of college students can be prevented. In most universities, there will be health education and mental health courses for you to attend, to cultivate your ability to tolerate and cope with setbacks, and to improve your ability to establish harmonious interpersonal relationships and deal with problems. When I was in college, my grades dropped because of lovelorn and other reasons. At one time, I failed several subjects in one semester. The school talked to me and said to let me repeat the grade. Later, I became more depressed. So I made up my mind to take advantage of the school's psychology course and go once a week. It worked, trust me.

Secondly, as a country, the education department should cooperate with the health department to formulate a mental health work plan for the serious psychological problems of college students, identify them as early as possible, and let students with psychological problems go to the school psychological counseling center or mental health institutions as soon as possible to get effective treatment and intervention, so as to promote the prognosis of mental diseases.

How did I get out step by step? I just said that I failed my grades because of depression, and later I was even more depressed. Actively communicate with family and school, read more books at school, divert attention, and put learning first. The second time, make use of the psychological resources of the school to do psychological counseling regularly. Later, I reported to the table tennis club and the entrepreneurial club to cultivate other hobbies besides study, which is also one of the ways to divert my attention. During severe depression, medication is also given. The best way is to relax and be happy. With the help of medicine every day, you will get better. The late incidence is not too high.

Many of us think that university is a beautiful time, with new experiences and great freedom to explore new ideas and find ourselves.

However, in recent years, depression and anxiety afflict college students at an alarming rate. As pointed out in the latest report of the University Mental Health Center, anxiety and depression are the primary reasons for college students to seek counseling.

Research shows that nearly one-fifth of college students are affected by anxiety or depression.

So why are these diseases so common among our college students?

(1) social media technology

Social media technology is one of the most dangerous factors. Excessive use of each will lead to social barriers and increase loneliness.

Excessive use of social media will also create some competition between real life and virtual life. In other words, between focusing on posting experiences on social media, sending text messages and taking selfies, we should have a tug-of-war instead of enjoying the value of this moment.

Many college students live in both virtual and real life, and virtual life is sometimes more important than real life in the competition.

Several other studies have found that cell phone addiction and excessive use of smart phones are also related to sleep disorders, depression, anxiety and overall stress.

For example, a study found that nearly 50% of college students said they would reply to text messages when they woke up at night. The same study found that the more technology used in sleep, the worse the quality of sleep, and the higher the incidence of depression and anxiety.

(2) the pressure of success

The pressure to succeed in school is usually unbearable. He said. It turns out that many students spend most of their time worrying about how to add content to their resumes, rather than how to make themselves better as individuals.

Universities are often the first time in young people's lives that they have the freedom to choose, but this change is often daunting. University is the first time in young people's lives, where they can experience freedom and make choices that really affect their lives. At the same time, the fear of the unknown is also a reality, and all these choices are a double-edged sword. If you don't know what kind of person you want to be, what you will do and what you will do, then you will bring trouble to your life. It is this pressure to do a good job in the future, coupled with economic pressure, that leads to the decline of students' mental health.

Many students think that my parents spent a lot of money on my education since I was a child. If I don't succeed, I'll feel bad and feel sorry for my parents. Especially after graduation, I can't find my ideal job, which makes most people feel that things are very bad. In today's society, there are more and more college students, even in a surplus state, which makes them very confused. More and more people choose to lack a clear "life path", which may lead to existential depression or anxiety. They have no clear and relaxed understanding of work, occupation or marriage, so they are stagnant.

(3) Other factors

Depression has an important genetic component, and the risk of children with depressed parents is much higher than that of the general population.

In the past ten years, the anxiety and depression rate of college students who are called the victims of cyber bullying in high schools has obviously doubled.

Smoking is related to the significant increase of sleep problems and the increased risk of depression and anxiety among college students.

At present, the incidence of depression among college students is increasing year by year, mainly due to the influence of the environment and their own tolerance.

First: the influence of lovelorn, there are many cases of suicide or injury to others because of lovelorn, mainly because they feel cheated and frustrated in their feelings and abandoned, so they will be devastated and even loveless.

Second: Without recognition, college students want their abilities to be recognized. College life is more free, and there will be many abilities to show. Some people feel that what they do is not as good as others, or that people around them are better than themselves. At this time, their self-confidence will be severely hit, and they will gradually feel inferior and feel that everything they have done is wrong.

Third, college life is relatively free, and at the same time, everyone will make more friends. Some introverts are at a disadvantage in this respect. They are not sociable. In most cases, if they don't actively integrate with their friends, they will often be ignored. Over time, they will become more closed, feel that they have problems and become depressed.

Fourth, many college students will consider the pressure of employment. They don't know what to do after graduation. They are confused in life, have no sense of direction, and even don't know whether what they are doing is right or wrong. They are full of fear and unknowns about the future. Various factors can cause psychological depression.

All eyes are blessed-the ultimate wisdom of great musicians.

Hello, I'm glad to answer your question. I will scientifically analyze and answer this question from the aspects of social status and the causes of depression, and tell you that most people may have some misunderstandings about the changes in the incidence of depression.

First of all, the current situation of society and media.

Now, more and more people admit that mankind has entered an era called neurosis. As long as you contact the media, it is not difficult to find that there are countless reports about depression and various related events caused by depression. In mental hospitals and psychological clinics across the country, the number of outpatients with depression is increasing year by year. These phenomena can easily make people feel that the number of people suffering from depression in our time seems to be much higher than at any time in history. In the past, people didn't know what depression was, but now, even the most ordinary people are familiar with the concept of depression. People not only show great interest in depression, like to talk about this concept, but also are eager to find out the essence of depression.

Second, there are some misunderstandings about the rising rate of depression.

In addition, the media is also the main reason for the misuse of the concept of depression. Nowadays, the media like to use the concept of depression very much, especially some psychological talk shows or columns often exaggerate the incidence of depression and the causal relationship between depression and suicide and crime. This will naturally create a kind of "fear suppression" psychology in society. Many people began to wonder if they had depression, and some people simply went to see a doctor. And some doctors make a mountain out of a molehill and catch shadows, which makes the problem very serious. In this way, it is very likely that you will be labeled as depression by the doctor and start a long road of treatment, and your money will continue to flow into the doctor's pocket.

So, why is the concept of depression so widely misunderstood and misused by people? The main reason is the disorderly development of psychological counseling and therapy industry and the drive of commercial interests. At present, millions of people in China hold the national qualification certificate of psychological counselors, and hundreds of thousands of people apply for the national certification of psychological counselors every year. Of course, it is not a bad thing to learn psychology for all, but it must be a bad thing to learn psychology for all and abuse psychology indiscriminately. Some people concluded that China people started a "psychological revolution". Because there are many defects in the certification system of psychological counselors in China, and the management of psychological counseling and psychotherapy in China is still in a very irregular and immature primary stage, which will inevitably lead to confusion within the psychological counseling and psychotherapy industry. In fact, some psychological workers who are practicing now lack the professional ethics they deserve. They will set up psychological clinics as a way to make money, so they must actively "cultivate the market" and create more depression for themselves to get rich. There is a folk saying: "People die every day hoping to be coffins, while typhoons blow every day hoping to be glass." Now some psychologists also hope that everyone will get depression. Whether as patients or as psychologists, we must pay attention to this fact, and then make our due contribution to standardizing the psychological counseling and psychotherapy industry in China.

Contrary to the former situation, although depression has threatened the quality of life of some people, even the safety of some people, there are still many people who do not admit that depression is a disease and a mental disorder that needs professional treatment. They mistakenly believe that depression is an ideological problem or a personality problem. This simple and superficial understanding of depression is more harmful than exaggerating the harm of depression, because this understanding will often delay the best treatment time of depression, make it become chronic depression, or worsen the condition, and even lead to suicide.

It is based on the above facts that you must systematically understand the professional knowledge about depression with your own mind. The advantage of this is that it can not only help you to seek the correct treatment, but also help you to become your own psychologist, so that you can get rid of depression faster, live a happy life again and find new hope in life.

The university itself is a mentally healthy society, and everything is fine. If there is a little pressure and there is no place to talk, the party with weak psychological endurance will naturally be depressed.
