Let the "empty nest youth" no longer be lonely.
With the development of social economy, many young people leave their homes and choose to work in big cities. The word "empty nest youth" has thus entered the public eye.
Some netizens concluded that a typical "empty nest youth", in his twenties or thirties, has a decent job in a first-tier city, lives in a one-bedroom or group rental room with a monthly rent of three or four thousand yuan, and the only familiar roommate is his own cat and dog. The kitchen has a full set of tableware, but the diet mainly depends on convenience stores and takeout. He has been switching seamlessly between mobile phones and computers for a long time, and his work and rest are out of balance, and his eyes are bloodshot all the year round.
It is reported that "loneliness" is the psychological feature of "empty nesters". Experts believe that such groups as "empty nesters" are becoming more and more huge in today's society and cannot be ignored. They close their own life circle and reduce communication with society. In the long run, they may bring more problems, such as psychological problems and marriage problems.
Wang Yingmei, an associate professor at the Mental Health Education Center of Sichuan University, believes that there are many reasons for the phenomenon of empty nesters. First of all, the social and economic development is unbalanced, and the employment opportunities and treatment levels in big cities are better than those in towns and villages; Secondly, the country's urbanization has just started and is not perfect, and the development space is very limited; In addition, these young people are still in the transition period of their lives, and most of their parents are unwilling to leave their hometown to live in big cities.
"Young people can take part in community activities after work and cultivate some hobbies." Wang Yingmei said that young people's participation in community activities can increase their sense of belonging. There is also a view that the more they are in the "empty nest" period, the more young people in their prime will accumulate skills and exercise their abilities through experience.
Experts said that in addition to "empty nesters", we should strengthen communication with society and not close ourselves, and society should also give them some care. We can adopt a variety of work modes, educate and guide young people to plan their careers scientifically and arrange their leisure life, and at the same time provide targeted psychological counseling and counseling on other issues to help them embark on a healthier and better working life.
Let the mobile phone addiction be cured.
From the subway to the bus, from the dining table to the bed, the mobile phone that never leaves has become the standard for many young people to work and live. Addicted to mobile phones has not only created a large number of "low-headed people", but also created a new psychological disease "mobile phone dependence".
Psychologists point out that the symptom of "mobile phone dependence" is a kind of psychological addiction, which is changing the mode of getting along with others and even reducing people's time to read and reflect on themselves.
Experts say that using mobile phones and mobile phone addiction are two concepts. Judging mobile phone addiction mainly depends on three aspects: first, taking mobile phones as the focus of life and work. Because of indulging in playing mobile phones, work and study are delayed, resulting in adverse consequences; Second, more and more time is spent using mobile phones; Third, there is anxiety when there is no mobile phone around, which is manifested as irritability, confusion, irritability, nervousness, suspicion, loneliness, nervousness and paranoia.
If the above three symptoms appear at the same time and last for more than 1 year, you can basically judge that you are suffering from "mobile phone dependence" and have to cure it!
Psychologically speaking, cell phone addicts have the mentality of seeking comfort, attention and affirmation. Frequent "mobile phone socializing" makes up for the social vacancy in normal life, can produce a kind of compensatory psychological comfort, satisfy people's desire to be affirmed, and thus produce satisfaction. At the same time, mobile phones can also cover up their shortcomings, reduce self-confidence and show their "better" side.
Although there are understandable subjective reasons for mobile phone addiction, the "mobile phone dependence" entering the "advanced stage" will also have serious consequences. For example, they have lost their basic interpersonal skills, do not like to deal with people face to face, and even lost their social functions, which has affected their work and life.
Experts believe that for young people, cell phone addiction is not difficult to correct. First of all, we should face up to the problem, reduce the use of mobile phones, and delete mobile phone applications and games that waste too much time. For serious addicts, individualized psychotherapy can also be carried out, and drugs can be used as auxiliary treatment when necessary.
Keep depression away from life
According to the data released by WHO, more than 300 million people in the world suffer from depression, and suicide caused by depression is the second leading cause of death among1people aged 5 to 29. In China, because most people don't know enough about depression and there are many misunderstandings, the rate of seeing a doctor for depression is less than 10%.
Among all groups of depression, teenagers and parturients are high-risk groups. Why are young people prone to depression? Yang Fu, dean of Beijing huilongguan hospital, said that the cause of depression is very complicated, which may be caused by biological factors, psychological factors and living environment factors, among which stress is an important cause of psychological problems. Depression often attacks those who are stressed, ambitious and responsible, and this pressure comes from their own pressure.
As far as youth groups are concerned, according to experts' analysis, from the perspective of social factors, young people have to go through many major choices and turning points in life, such as work and marriage, and face many social and life changes, resulting in emotional fluctuations and inadaptability to the new environment, which is more likely to induce depression. Breaking up, divorce, bereavement, unemployment and other situations may lead to the increase of depressive symptoms.
With the implementation of the two-child policy, some young women who have given birth to two children are also prone to postpartum depression. Statistics show that the incidence of postpartum depression is about 30%.
How to judge whether you have depression? Experts suggest that if young people are in a bad mood, they should relax and adjust through exercise, rest and play in time. If depression has lasted for more than two weeks and has brought about changes in physiological functions, it is very important to seek medical attention in time.
