Depression tends to be younger

 In April, due to weather and other factors, the number of patients in the psychological clinic of the hospital increased a lot. On April 1, 2003, entertainment superstar Leslie Cheung chose to bid farewell to the world because of depression, and depression began to be concerned.

According to the WHO Global Burden of Disease Study, depression accounts for 10% of disability caused by non-infectious diseases, and by 2020 it will become the second largest source of disease burden after cardiovascular diseases. The prevalence rate of depression in China is 3.02%. The average age of onset of depression is between 20-30 years old. There are more women than men. More and more people suffer from this mental disorder that causes significant and lasting depression.

Li Tingting, a doctor from Wenzhou Seventh People’s Hospital, said that at present, the correct recognition rate and treatment rate of depression in our country are very low, and even the recognition rate of the disease in hospitals above the city level is less than 20%. There are secrets and prejudices, and the proportion of patients receiving professional drug treatment is less than 10%. As more and more extreme behaviors such as suicide and homicide caused by depression occur, it is urgent to correctly understand and treat depression.
Their body system is out of balance

Recently, a 33-year-old male patient frequently confessed to his family like where is the money? What should I do about the education of my two sons? My wife was frightened and nervous. According to the doctor Li Tingting, there have been many consultations like this recently; on October 14, 2019, a South Korean actress who suffered from severe depression was confirmed to have died. , Was only 25 years old; on the evening of September 16, 2016, a mainland male star died at his home in Shanghai due to depression. He was only 28 years old...

When the first ray of sunlight comes in when you wake up in the morning, most people will lament the beauty of life, while people with depression are thinking about how to commit suicide. They will feel that they can't find a reason to live when they wake up. Struggling all day long, unable to find the future, without the courage to live, immersed in despair and nowhere to release, so that they have no choice but to go to despair. Some patients even despair to commit suicide with their loved ones.

Patients with depression have various symptoms, lack of energy, extreme fatigue, loss of interest in daily fun, loss of confidence in themselves, and no appetite for food. Sleep is also tortured, insomnia all night, waking up early, unhappy, and even heartbroken... Li Tingting said that depression is coming like a mountain, and the patient is not ill thinking about it, but the brain neurotransmitter or neuroendocrine. The system is out of balance, and the body and mind are malfunctioning, causing a series of pathological emotional and physical discomforts. If you realize that you may be sick, please find a regular hospital as soon as possible to go to the psychology clinic or psychiatric department, register a number and open your heart to talk with the doctor.

Most depression can be relieved or significantly alleviated after treatment, but the recurrence rate is very high. According to statistics related to depression, about 35% will have 3 recurrences; patients who do not receive maintenance treatment will have almost 100% risk of recurrence in the future. So remember to take the medicine on time and in the amount, stop the medicine scientifically, and follow up with the doctor regularly.

The sorrow in their mouth is not "hypocritical"

While the number of patients with depression is rising every year, the age at which depression suffers is showing a downward trend, with the majority of adolescents aged 14-29 years old, and even children aged eight or nine.

It is not terrible for children to have depression. The terrible thing is that parents can’t recognize it. They often say, what do children know? I think my child is just stressful and "hypocritical".

Yin Jiahui, a doctor from Wenzhou Seventh People’s Hospital, told a case of a person around me: “I used to have a classmate who was very good, with good grades and good family conditions, but there was only one thing. She didn’t like to talk. She said that the most talked time was when she introduced herself at the beginning of school. She didn't say much, but the one that impressed me most was'I don't have any friends.' Later, her grades declined severely, and she committed suicide in the second year of high school. There is only one sentence left before, "I am finally free." Everyone feels that depression is far away from ourselves, but depression is always by our side.

So observe whether your child has the following situations, such as often showing negative emotions and low self-esteem, expressing disappointment and disgust in life; things he liked before are no longer interested; time spent with friends or participating in extracurricular activities is less than before ; I feel that everything is my fault, or I am useless... Yin Jiahui reminds that if the child has similar symptoms, please communicate with the child in time. If necessary, you need to take it to a psychiatric clinic or hospital for detailed evaluation by professionals.

How to prevent depression? 
parents should create a warm and harmonious family atmosphere for their children, so that children can feel the warmth of the family and the care of their parents. Parents try to minimize quarreling in front of their children. Children who grow up in a warm and harmonious family atmosphere are optimistic, cheerful, and positive; when a child is in a trough, the encouragement of parents is the most important to him; when a major change occurs, it is not that the child is still young. Know nothing; let children learn to be the master of emotions and express emotions in an effective way.

Parents should not only pay attention to the child’s physical growth, but also the child’s psychological growth during the child’s growth process. A mentally healthy child will be tougher and easier to adapt in the future society and future growth. There will be better development.
