How to detect depression? Do you have the following depression symptoms?

Many people have heard of the term depression. With the acceleration of social pace and the intensification of social life pressure, more and more people often feel mental pressure and nervousness, which leads to depression. In fact, depression has some symptoms in the early stage of the disease, but it is difficult to find if people do not observe carefully. So what are the manifestations of depression?

1: Decline or even loss of interest. If a person has a wide range of hobbies, it is easy for people around him to notice depression. However, even if he does not have any hobbies, if he loses interest in his daily work, enjoys life, and enjoys family life, and does not feel happy, then he is definitely experiencing a significant decline or loss of interest.

2: Vitality loss The patient feels that his whole "person" has collapsed, broken down, and fallen apart. He is very clear that it is not mainly because of physical weakness, but mental loss of motivation. He needs others to urge or push him to do anything (including taking care of himself), otherwise he does not want to move at all. Many patients struggle to cheer up, but always fail to hold on. The patient thinks that he has become "a pile of mud - can't be lifted up."

3: Hopelessness Patients feel that everything is terrible, the future is bleak, and there is no hope. On the contrary, normal people have hope for the future, such as academic progress, career success, and family health and longevity. They also often have various small wishes, such as saving money to buy high-end goods, enjoying a beautiful music concert, and going out with the family on weekends. Losing hope for the future is a manifestation of depression.

4: Helplessness This feeling is very painful, especially for patients who have difficulty expressing it. Many patients are reluctant to seek medical treatment. They are convinced that doctors can do nothing to help them because they feel different from everyone else. They seem to have left the world and fallen into the bottom of a deep valley. Everything is irreversible and no one can save them. Patients feel that every day is like a year, and they are extremely lonely and alienated from others.

5: Decline in self-evaluation. The patient feels that he actually has no ability, can't do anything, and is a complete waste. At least, the patient feels that his knowledge and ability are not as good as before. Some patients have a deep sense of guilt or even sin.

6: Feeling that life is meaningless. The patient does not feel that a certain lifestyle is meaningless, but that life is fundamentally meaningless. Not only is it meaningless, but living is equivalent to suffering and committing sins, and living is worse than death. The patient often has suicidal thoughts and even implements suicidal measures.

1: Strengthen physical exercise Strengthening physical exercise can not only improve one's physical fitness, but also give people a sense of relaxation and self-determination after exercise, which is beneficial to overcome the loneliness of patients with depression. However, before starting to exercise, you must first consult your attending psychologist.

2: Supplement food nutrition. Psychological experts recommend eating more foods rich in vitamin B, such as whole grains, fish, etc. Compared with other treatments, this treatment method for moderate depression is estimated to be the most acceptable to patients.

3: The specific implementation of this treatment method of self-mental suggestion requires the patient to first admit that he is depressed, and then learn to identify and record every time a misconception of depression occurs, and reflect on it in a timely manner.

4: Expand social interaction. Studies have shown that people who are good at making friends are much happier in their mental state than those who like to be alone. Therefore, psychological experts encourage patients to go out of the house and actively participate in various social group activities, which is very helpful for relaxing and forgetting depression.
