Mental depression is a neurotic disorder with mental excitement, mental fatigue, emotional distress and psychological and physiological symptoms. Among the patients with depression treated in the hospital, 25% are patients with mental depression. In addition to the symptoms of general depression, mental depression has its own characteristics, such as hallucinations.
First, the symptoms of mental depression
1, Depression: the most important symptom. At first, it may be manifested as a decline in the ability to experience various emotions in a short period of time, listless and uninterested in everything. Patients feel that the "mistakes" and "unsatisfactory things" in front of them are coming from their hearts and lingering. The vision for the future is dim, the joy disappears completely, and the idea of world-weariness gradually germinates. Severe emotional depression always leads to self-blame, and patients feel that they have lost their ability to work and become waste or social parasites. Some exaggerate the general shortcomings and mistakes of the past into unforgivable sins and repeatedly ask for treatment. Patients may refuse to eat or only eat rice because of evil delusions. When you are extremely depressed, you can commit suicide or punish yourself.
2, slow thinking association: slow speech, low pronunciation, less language, slow response, and great resistance to every sentence and every action. In the worst case, it can be a coma. Patients with agitation depression have significantly increased speech actions, anxiety and fear, excitement and self-injury, which is very dangerous.
3, the movement is reduced: the movement is slow. A few patients with severe depression can be silent and rest in bed, which is called depressive stupor. Suicide attempts and behaviors are the most dangerous symptoms.
