Last night, a news that made countless people sad, singer Li Yan died.
On the evening of July 5th, Li Yan's second sister@< Fast, this news reached the top of Weibo hot search. Many netizens left a message saying that I couldn't believe it, because Li Xun looked so sunny and cheerful.Essence This reminds many netizens that many stars who have previously committed suicide due to depression, Shirley, Leslie Cheung, Qiao Renliang, Chen Baolian, Jin Zhongyi ... This series of names have made people pay more attention to depression. What is the depression?How does it "kill" people? Some people think that depression is sad; some people think that depression is poor resistance to pressure; others say that depression is space deficiency and too glass heart. I realized that this is not the case.Depression is a state of "I know how to do it, but I don't even have the strength to get up."People who often tell depression: "You need to do something to make yourself happy", "change your mindset", "You should get up" ... But these are difficult to help patients with depression. So far, depression is still a condition of unknown cause.However, it is certain that factors in many aspects of biology, psychology and social environment have participated in the process of depression. In terms of biological factors, there are three main types of hormones that make humans feel pleasant, namely: dopamine, serotonin, and endorphin. People with depression are secreted by serotonin.Serotonin, also known as 5-hydroxylin, its main function is to maintain "emotional stability".For example, when others lose your temper, you are not easy to get angry. When you encounter setbacks, the ability to resist pressure is relatively strong. This is a normal state of serotonin. This process is a bit like the "inverse business" we call. When the concentration of serum is low, there will be problems. There are generally three cases: negative memories, emotional sensitivity and anxiety.The serotonin in the brain of depression will be significantly reduced. The external manifestation is excessive self -introspection. I feel that I can't do anything. Failure is their fault. Therefore, the treatment of depression will start from serotonin to balance the secretion of serotonin through some drugs. The attacks of patients with depression are mostly directed to the interior. They have a knife and the knife is facing themselves.Unless extremely special circumstances, it will not hurt others. Because the essence of depression is a disgust of itself. According to the diagnostic standards of DSM-5, the symptoms of depression will include cognitive symptoms (pessimistic, self-blame, and low value), interfere with physical function (sleep disorders, decreased appetite), lose the ability to experience interest and happiness(Lack of pleasure), and the symptoms last at least two weeks.Because it is immersed in a mood of pessimism for a long time, and the loss of recognition of its own existence, living becomes a "cumbersome", so it is easier for patients with depression to produce suicide. A few patients with severe depression, before suicide, considers that their loved ones may suffer misfortune or pain after their death."Profit of suicide", or "expanding suicide", "compassionate killing". Once there was such an extreme case, a male professor of a university was killed by a wife with depression.The professor took care of his wife during his lifetime, fearing that she was boring at home, and arranged a library job for her.However, the wife has always felt very painful, thinking that death is the only liberation, and I feel that her husband has been taking care of herself is also very painful. He wants to liberate her husband together, and finally a tragedy occurs.The male professor died on the spot, and his wife committed suicide after killing her husband, but was rescued in time. For this wife, she did not hurt her husband, and killing him was completely out of the "love" and "protection" to the victims. Her murderous motivation was purely good -faith and because of his spirit of altruism. And, it must be emphasized that the benefits of patients with depression are relatively rare (currently there is no specific statistical data). Do not have prejudice to patients with depression. In terms of psychological and social factors, some black dogs with depression are more likely to be found by depression.Sudden staggling life incidents are also important conditions for triggering depression. When we often talk about depression, it seems that it is a symptom. Only the way to suicide. In fact, there are more people who suffer from depression struggle hard and succeed in fighting. Doctor of Psychology, Yale University, has more than 30 years of consulting experience, Anita Perez Soya, who has recording delicious sorrows in her memories.The entire process for doctors. When Annita was in high school, she was sent to a mental hospital due to attempt suicide and was misdiagnosed as schizophrenia. Since then, she has been in a psychiatric hospital for five years. During, she received 89 electric shock treatmentLost almost all the memories before, try to commit suicide again, transfer to the hospital, and finally discharged through their own efforts, and began to embark on a new journey -from the gorgeous turn from the patient to the doctor. This sentence is vulgar, but it is true: Please believe that everything will be fine. I hope that another world can be more gentle and beautiful. Depression is not hypocritical and glass heart
Why do patients with depression commit suicide
Depression is not "terminal illness"
