I was depressed for four years, and my family didn't understand. Later, I read Morita's psychological books and watched CDs, and constantly strengthened physical exercise and social practice. I walked out slowly, and now I have recovered. It's really not easy to remember! Don't give up hope at any time, just make a little progress every day and stick to it!
Strictly speaking, depression will not heal, but may not heal, because depression itself is a chronic disease. Just like high blood pressure, if you have high blood pressure, your blood pressure may not always be high, and most patients will not be high if you control it well, but it doesn't mean that high blood pressure will be fine.
No one can say for sure about such a problem, because there are huge individual differences in patients with depression, different responses to drugs, and different responses to stress and possible mental stimulation during remission, so it is almost impossible to judge whether they will recur. So we can only speak with medical statistics.
According to the statistics of clinical data, the people with the greatest recovery from depression must meet the following conditions: systematic treatment for the first time, sufficient dosage and sufficient course of treatment, and maintenance treatment with antidepressants for 6-8 months after the symptoms completely disappear. About 50% of patients with depression who meet the above conditions will not relapse in the future. With the increase of the frequency of depression recurrence, the probability of depression recurrence will also increase, but patients with depression who have relapsed many times may recover, but more efforts may be needed.
Because there is no breakthrough in the etiological study of depression, people have no way to determine the cause of depression. So there is no way to completely stop the recurrence of depression. But according to the current situation, we can still understand the recurrence of depression.
First of all, depression itself is a disease with high recurrence characteristics. Every time the number of attacks increases, the risk of recurrence will increase by 16%. It is inferred that the risk of future recurrence is almost 100% in patients with depression who have had more than three episodes and those who have not received maintenance treatment.
social psychological factors
I believe everyone can understand this. Social and psychological factors such as economic stress, mental stress, life stress, divorce, widowhood and death of relatives will all increase the recurrence rate of our depressed patients, and even directly lead to the recurrence of the disease. For example, research shows that stressful life events will increase the recurrence rate of depression by 3-6 times, which is far greater than the impact of recurrence. In addition, the lack of necessary family and emotional support system will also increase the risk of depression recurrence.
Cognitive function factor
We know that depression will affect cognitive function, and patients with depression may become dull and stupid, but in turn, the influence of cognitive function will increase the probability of recurrence of patients with depression. For example, elderly patients with cognitive impairment will show that their ability to process emotional information is not as good as before, and then naturally produce some negative emotions, and then continue to lack their own ability to suppress and regulate negative emotions, unable to control their attention to depression or anxiety, leading to the recurrence of depression.
Drug compliance factors
We say that many patients with depression may need to take drugs for a long time, so the problem of drug compliance becomes very important. Patients with good drug compliance know to take drugs on time, while patients with poor drug compliance often stop taking drugs on their own. Drug withdrawal is one of the main reasons for the recurrence of mental disorders, not only depression, but also schizophrenia.
What kind of society makes people. Therefore, depression is mainly caused by social environment, interpersonal environment and family environment. Emotional stagnation is caused by emotional disorder, communication disorder, self-deficiency and mental imperfection.
Just like fish getting sick, the reason for getting sick is water quality. You take care of its illness and throw it back into the original water. Of course, it will continue to relapse and continue to get sick.
In today's society, interests are the most important, that is, they want to steal your money and despise your dignity. False feelings, telling lies have become accustomed to. Even relatives and friends have the pleasure of despising each other and being others! Worst of all, on the issue of money, brothers can turn against each other and fathers and sons can never know each other.
To give a straightforward example, it's like living with a group of liars. If there is no truth, it is all false. Can you tell others how you really feel? Of course not, either cheated or looked down upon. What you don't understand can only be hidden in your heart, which may become your privacy for life. Your mind is not sound, your thinking is single, and your expectation of self-transcendence gradually disappears.
A person's desire is gone, his curiosity is gone, his heart is closed, he has to make up lies all day, his heart is exhausted, his life is meaningless, and his emotions cannot be resolved. Such a person will feel disgusted and painful about life.
The so-called cure for depression is just that we rekindle our desire for life and then throw it back into a stagnant life.
This problem is not rigorous, not all depression will not be cured, and some people recover well from depression and basically reach the standard of recovery. Of course, because everyone's physique is different, the treatment difficulty of depression is also different. Then why is it that some people's depression is not easy to get better, while some people's depression has recovered better?
Some patients with depression do not recover well, but do not maintain well. A large number of patients, suffering from depression for the first time, recovered well and quickly during hospitalization, but relapsed soon after discharge and were hospitalized again. After the recurrence of depression, the treatment is more difficult, and it is better to recover for the first time.
I once treated an aunt (alias Aunt Li). She suffered from depression once when she was young, but she recovered quite well and did not relapse for many years. This time it was because his wife died and got depression. During the hospitalization, Aunt Li recovered quickly and listened to the doctor. When I was discharged from the hospital, I told Aunt Li to take medicine for a long time, and Aunt Li went home happily. Less than a month later, Aunt Li came again. The children said that Aunt's depression had relapsed. After asking carefully, I realized that my aunt didn't take medicine on time after she got home. Because she was distressed by money, she stopped taking medicine herself, which led to repeated illness.
The treatment of depression needs consolidation. The first treatment of acute depression: it takes 6~9 months to take medicine after the symptoms are relieved. Moreover, it is more difficult to treat depression after recurrence, and the medication time is also prolonged.
Sometimes people will inevitably think, why do they take medicine when they are all well? Depression, like diabetes, needs long-term drug treatment. The condition is stable at present, but the medicine is working. When the insulin of diabetic patients stops, the blood sugar rises immediately. The same is true for depression. You need to take medicine for a period of time, and your condition will not recur after stopping taking medicine.
Patients with depression need to adjust themselves after rehabilitation. Sometimes it is easy to relapse when encountering social psychological stress events, so we should adjust ourselves in time.
Don't be too self-centered, give in when things happen, and a generous attitude will save you a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Relax when you meet things, don't worry, it's useless to deal with things one by one. Solve bad emotions in time, exercise more, participate in group activities and enhance your self-confidence.
Only through your own efforts can you make your heart stronger and stronger.
Whether depression can be cured depends on whether patients can face their hearts bravely and cooperate with the guidance of psychological counselors.
No one can guarantee that someone's depression can be cured. Whoever says that his depression can be cured, basically, his depression can't be cured, because someone has begun to confront the psychological counselor who said that he can cure his depression.
I once received a case in which the psychological image of the visitor was very good, but as soon as it was adjusted, the psychological image disappeared immediately. I tried several times, and then I stopped adjusting. He asked, "Why?" I said, "You're looking at how great I am." He said, "Yes, that's what I think." I asked, "Why do you think so?" He said, "My aunt said that you are very powerful and can cure me."
A lot of things, look on the bright side, look on the broken side, so I am not depressed. People live for more than 30 thousand days. I'll take you back then. Don't live like others. As long as you make progress year by year, even a little progress will do. Others let nature take its course and have a good time every day.
Why can't depression be cured?
Depression can not only be cured, but also be completely cured. Depression is a sensitive and anxious person. After being frustrated by failure, it is impossible to rationally analyze the reasons for failure and actively seek solutions to the problems. Instead, I blame myself blindly, magnify the difficulties, feel that I am useless, feel that others are better than myself, and feel that my future is dark. The more they think about it, the more pessimistic they are, and the more desperate they think about it, leading to depression. Depression can be cured if the patient's inferiority evaluation is solved, the automatic thinking of anxiety at the thought of work and study is solved, self-confidence is enhanced, and repeated hints and reinforcement are made.
However, there are indeed many depressed patients who can't recover, take medicine for life and suffer for many years. This is because the explanation of depression is unscientific and the treatment is unscientific. For example, if you look for the reason in the gene, you will never find it. For example, neurotransmitters, in fact, when people are anxious, endocrine disorders lead to a decrease in neurotransmitter secretion.
It can be cured, but some people get well, don't know how to control their emotions, or think about it and relapse. We should correctly guide ourselves to think positively and learn to transfer our thoughts. If you are thinking about something that makes you sad and angry, sometimes you will suddenly wake up. Why do I think about these things again? In fact, others may not know what you are thinking, and you can only hurt yourself. At this time, you should find something to do, regain your confidence, and don't let yourself get stuck in it. You can do some sports, dance, run, dance and watch some variety shows. You can empty your head and think nothing, take a deep breath and relax your heart, and so on. One day you will be fine! But if you don't control yourself, it's never good to make it think. I also spent two years off and on, and that's how I got rid of it. I couldn't sleep because of the pain at that time, and I still feel pain, depressed and irritable, and I wish I were dead. In short, I just want to control myself not to think, that is, not to think too many happy things. If I feel depressed, let it be depressed instead of looking for happiness, so I will sleep when I am tired and watch TV when I wake up bored. To tell the truth, I can't keep my eyes open and I can't sleep, so I just listen to TV. I don't know how many nights, I just closed my eyes. I took the medicine and walked out by myself. I haven't had a relapse for several years now. I'm in a good mood now, and I don't care about anything. I'm relieved that only my body is the most important thing. My body has collapsed and there is nothing left. Now even if someone quarrels with me, I'm too lazy to quarrel and feel bored. I can face everything calmly, and there is nothing to care about. I feel that I have changed a lot.
