Some people believe that depression is a manifestation of apprehension, hypocrisy, and a poor ability to resist stress. It is this misconception that makes many patients unable to be detected and treated in time. So how do you find and treat depression? Let’s listen to the advice of the experts.
There are three main symptoms that last for two weeks and require prompt medical treatment.
Chen Shunchi, Associate Physician, Department of Psychiatry, Beijing Anding Hospital: Depression is actually a disease in nature, somewhat similar to a cold and fever. It is a type of disease. It is not completely caused by sex. It does not mean that it can be alleviated by persuasion. It needs to be regulated. the treatment.
According to Dr. Chen, depression has three main symptoms: low mood, decreased interest, decreased energy and behavior. Common early symptoms of depression: disturbed sleep, loss of appetite. The diagnostic criterion of time is generally that the symptoms persist for two weeks. Everyone’s judgment in life is primarily to compare changes in behavior, speech, and emotional experience before and after a period of time in life. If there is any abnormality, ask a specialist to judge in time. Adolescents are a population with a high incidence of depression and parents must pay special attention to changes in their children.
Chen Shunchi, Associate Physician, Department of Psychiatry, Beijing Anding Hospital: The psychological characteristics of adolescent adolescents are not the same as those of adults and babies. Your own social background, experience, and learning ability are still gradually growing, so you will have some psychological characteristics in this situation. Instability, the ways to alleviate them are usually not so rational, if they are coupled with the situation of greater academic pressure, these things can become an incentive for emotional problems. During the entire study and life process, if at a certain moment, she suddenly presents different behaviors from the previous ones, in this case everyone must be attentive. It is recommended to communicate with the child as an equal or as a friend, to understand her true thoughts, instead of lecturing the child, that is, you can do well when you are strong. In this case, the help for the child will not be very good.
Dual psychological and physiological factors lead to high maternal morbidity
Pregnant and resting women are also a high-risk group for depression, because the birth of a baby is a relatively important event in life. If the reality and the psychological gap are relatively large, psychological problems are more likely to occur. At the same time, the hormone levels of pregnant and resting women are in a stage of change, which can also cause emotional change.
Chen Shunchi, Associate Physician, Department of Psychiatry, Beijing Anding Hospital: When the patient and family members express that they have an emotional problem, they should not be treated as hypocritical or prim. If it lasts about two weeks, the condition has not disappeared or has continued to get worse, it is recommended as soon as possible. Go to the specialized outpatient consultation of a specialized hospital for diagnosis.
Treating depression should follow the doctor’s advice and continue treatment.
Depression in the elderly also requires special attention. According to doctors, with age, the brain function of the elderly will gradually decline, and more and more physical illnesses will also lead to depression. Family members should pay special attention. Also, in clinical practice, some patients feel that their symptoms improve and then discontinue and reduce the medication by themselves, which is highly undesirable.
Chen Shunchi, Associate Physician, Department of Psychiatry, Beijing Anding Hospital: Make sure you take the medicine on time and according to the doctor’s advice. If you feel that its condition and effect are good, it is recommended to check it regularly in the outpatient clinic. Ask your doctor to make a judgment about all aspects of you and guide you on how to adjust your medication.
