Second, depression is an emotional reaction when you are helpless while watching despair, frustration and loss approach step by step.
three, four symptoms of depression:
1. The first symptom is thinking, and the way of thinking is different when you are depressed and not depressed. When you are depressed, you will compete with yourself, criticize the outside world and feel desperate and confused about the future. You can't see the future, and you blame your qualifications. You think that your qualifications are average and there is no future. A little setback will become an insurmountable obstacle. You can always find a lot of evidence to prove that your success is actually a failure. In depression, pessimistic explanation style will dominate, and you always look at good things with a dark eye.
2. The second symptom is the generation of negative emotions. People will feel sad, depressed and desperate when they are depressed.
3. The third symptom is behavior. Depressed people will become passive, indecisive and suicidal. Depressed people will only do things that are conventional, and they have no pioneering spirit at all. It is easy to give up when they encounter a little setback. Depressed people are often indecisive and hesitant when faced with choices.
4. The fourth symptom is that when you are depressed, everything will come against you, even your body. The more depressed you are, the more likely you are to get sick. You will find that your appetite has decreased, you can't eat, your sexual interest has decreased greatly, and even sleeping has become a luxury.
4. Mania seems to be the complete opposite of depression. Its symptoms are hyperactivity, arrogance, incessant talking and doing things, sleepless nights and exaggerated self-esteem. Another difference between bipolar disorder and depression is that bipolar disorder is more hereditary.
5. Only psychological analysis, without drugs or other auxiliary treatments, can't cure bipolar disorder.
6. Whether it is depression or general depression, they are the deterioration of thoughts, emotions, behaviors and bodies.
7. Negative thinking will intensify depression. When you are depressed, you will "think" and the result will be more depression.
8. To change the concept of thinness as beauty needs to change the social atmosphere, and to change female learned helplessness and rumination only needs to change the treatment and upbringing.
IX. Depression: There are four main treatments: two biological methods-drugs and electroshock therapy, and two psychological methods-cognitive therapy and interpersonal therapy.
X. Cognitive therapy has five principles:
First, learn to recognize your subconscious thoughts. These thoughts will come out when you feel the worst, and they will be so powerful that you can't react and resist.
Second, learn to refute those subconscious thoughts with contrary evidence.
Third, learn different interpretation methods, which is called re-attribution. This is also used to refute subconscious thoughts.
Fourth, learn to free yourself from depressed thoughts. Rumination can make things worse, especially when a person has to smile under pressure. The best thing is usually not to think about it. You should not only learn to control the content of thinking, but also learn to control the time of thinking.
Fifth, learn to question the assumptions that cause your depression.
