Hello, depression seems to be accompanied by many physical symptoms, such as palpitation, chest tightness, discomfort in upper and middle abdomen, shortness of breath, sweating, emaciation, sleep disorder, fatigue or loss of energy, loss of appetite, sexual dysfunction, weight loss, constipation, general pain and discomfort. From a medical point of view, it seems that all these symptoms can find a suitable prescription, and the landlord did take a lot of medicine. However, after taking the medicine for a long time, it seems that the condition has not improved. On the contrary, some people have gradually become dependent on the medicine, and what's more, it has damaged their health. The main reason for this result is that the treatment and elimination of physical symptoms are exaggerated, while the psychological factor leading to depression-the potential defective cognitive style of patients-is ignored. This deep-rooted negative psychological barrier will often affect the emergence, maintenance and development of depression. However, drug treatment can not fundamentally change the patient's condition.
Depression patients' sense of powerlessness, despair and even suicidal tendency are all due to their negative views on themselves, their experiences and their future. A series of negative emotions and thoughts they have produced have brought uncontrollable conflicts to their psychology. They live in their own dysfunctional judgments and cannot extricate themselves. Sudden stress events in life have accelerated and consolidated their cognitive patterns, and it seems that they can't get out in a vicious circle. Psychological treatment of depression can use various psychological methods, such as psychoanalysis, cognitive therapy, psychological remodeling therapy, suggestion therapy and so on. Guide patients to change their cognition, rebuild their minds, resolve the pessimism and disappointment caused by bad cognition, and arouse patients' positive beliefs about themselves. This process is a journey for patients to explore their own souls under the guidance of psychological counselors, and no medicine can replace it.
