How to treat depression? Is there any good method?

When faced with the pressure of life, some people will move forward under pressure, turning pressure into motivation and moving forward courageously. Some people have poor psychological endurance and will feel a serious sense of burden in the face of pressure, which can lead to depression. So how should depression be treated?

1. Guidance and venting: Before seeking psychological treatment, the patient's situation is not understood by anyone and he has nowhere to tell his story. Therefore, the doctor should be caring, compassionate, and listen quietly to make the patient understand that his pain has been accepted as reality. This is a common psychological treatment for depression.

2. Avoid contradictions: Avoid contradictory statements and statements that may cause misunderstandings when talking to patients;

3. Do not lose confidence due to treatment difficulties: Do not lose confidence due to treatment difficulties. Be patient and tenacious in leading the patient through the onset of the disease;

4. Do not accept reality: Depressed patients do not accept reality. Active action: regard "let nature take its course and do what is right" as a life attitude, and achieve success and happiness through active actions;

5. Let the patient understand his or her own psychological dynamics and condition: Improve personality and perfect self: Psychoanalytic theory believes that depression is caused by lack of basic sense of security, which turns frustration into anger against oneself, thus leading to dejection and depression. Therefore, let the patient understand his or her own psychological dynamics and condition, and gain insight into his or her own response pattern to difficulties to promote personality growth.

6. Social support: Social support, spiritual support from family, friends, and classmates can change patients' negative cognition and improve their adaptability, which helps improve interpersonal relationships. Family therapy is very important. Acute or long-lasting depression will have an impact on family life, and the family's response to the patient will directly affect the prognosis. The doctor should first let the family understand the symptoms, course of the disease, and treatment. The patient's symptoms must be recognized, and understanding, patience, and regular treatment are required. The disease has its own rules, and it is not feasible to try to improve emotions by changing the environment, which will only make the condition worse. Social support is particularly important in the psychotherapy of depression.
