Although there are more and more people suffering from depression or pseudo-depression, as a psychological counselor who has worked for more than ten years, I want to say that the psychological problems of modern young people are actually a process of awakening their own self-awareness to a certain extent, while the collectivists of the older generation may not be aware of their own problems.
The process of curing depression is like the ice-breaking process of the soul. A warm heart can instantly open the dark clouds on the horizon.
Let's cut to the chase:
Depression and depression are different. Depression can be cured.
Some people say that depression is pathological, while others say that depression is psychological. Some people say that you must take medicine, while others say that you don't need to take medicine. Wait; Arguing endlessly. In fact, depression and depression are different. Simply put, it can be distinguished as follows:
Grade a depression. Physical depression can't find psychological reasons in life. It is an organic disease in the corresponding position of the brain, showing hallucinations (not fantasies, but hallucinations). Take the medicine.
Class b depression. Psychogenic depression, that is, post-traumatic depression, is acute at first. If it is not taken care of, it will become chronic, and the brain state will also show the characteristics of pathological depression. For example, postpartum depression, depression after failing the college entrance examination, and depression after the earthquake disaster. Psychotherapy is given priority to, supplemented by taking medicine.
Class c depression. Depression caused by lack of love (some people call it pseudo-depression), lack of self-identity, lack of intimacy and sense of belonging, serious insecurity, diffuse sense of meaningless life, weak interpersonal skills and weak emotional sensitivity. Be treated for lack of love.
How to judge for yourself which category you belong to? There is no scale at present. The way to judge is this: first, look at whether you are Class C. If not, then look at whether you are Class B. If not, it will be unfortunate. Let's go to the hospital. Psychotropic drugs supplemented with serotonin can relieve you. The other two, you can find a professional psychological counselor for counseling and treatment, and the chances of recovery are great.
The standard of cure is simple:
1 You can fall in love with others, the energy of love is connected with others, and Libido can be released safely.
Dare to play jokes or pranks with others, indicating that the attack performance has been safely released.
You can be alone or attached. There is no separation anxiety when you are alone, and there is no inner conflict when you are intimate.
Focus on doing what you like every day, indicating that you are not too dependent and your self-control is improved.
In addition, in a depressed state, people's psychological energy is very low, and they will want to grab a straw. If they get a little hit, they may forget that they need treatment very much. It is the most important first step to replenish psychological energy quickly through treatment.
In fact, patients with depression C are the most, and most of them can be cured through professional and effective psychological counseling. For patients with very serious depression of Class C, although it is pseudo-depression, the degree of self-attack is too deep (for example, 30 points of external frustration is amplified into 100 points of traumatic feelings, and they constantly attack themselves, torture themselves, and deny themselves), which also causes psychological trauma to themselves and requires medication as an auxiliary means to prevent the brain from temporarily over-secreting negative energy substances; But taking medicine only relieves symptoms, but it can't solve the problem.
Why are some people cured by taking medicine? Because in this process, his family and friends knew that he was a "patient", and his unconditional caring cured him. So it was not the medicine that cured him, but the emotional relationship that made up for his lack of love. The recurrence of this depression is caused by another round of violent self-attack after the emotional relationship is pulled away.
If you want to know how to treat it, you can search "I lacked love when I was a child, but what if the other half can't give it?" -Lu Sixing "answer.
Finally, as long as there is no cause of depression as long as I can remember, depression caused by other circumstances, even years of abuse or sudden trauma, has a great chance of being cured by consulting a professional psychological counselor.
