Chapter 352: What is Depression

Like me, I have suffered from a turbulent family since I was a child, which has caused me to have low self-esteem for a long time, my soul is also very fragile, easy to suffer from gains and losses, and lack of security, I am a child who grew up in loneliness, confused and hesitant, a child without love, and there will always be a strong sense of helplessness in the face of setbacks!

The influence of my family on me is still influencing me, maybe for a lifetime!"

I don't really understand it, she thinks I can cure Li Qiang?

I said to Li Qiang, "Do you think you have depression?"

Li Qiang nodded, very depressed.

"The formation of depression is very complicated, everyone's depression is not caused by a single cause, let me tell you this, the influence of the family of origin, such as a single-parent family, a turbulent family, a family with parents who are not in harmony with hunger, and the impact of parents abusing themselves are all likely to cause depression, your situation belongs to the second type, because of the reasons and injuries of the family of origin and the lack of love, Recognition, and the major disasters encountered when you were a child will also leave traumas, these wounds are buried in the depths of your young heart, lingering, and will follow you and affect you in later events, or in your personality, like a shadow that cannot be dispersed. For example, if you experienced the above trauma when you were a child, your personality may be inferior and insecure, and when facing things, you are timid and fearful, and your heart is not strong enough, which makes you not calm when you encounter things, easy to deny yourself, and easy to think about the worst, I conclude that your personality should be introverted, timid, and even have an inferiority complex. ”

"You're right, but what I want to ask is the cause and effect of depression, what is the pathogenesis of depression?" Li Qiang looked at me hopefully.

"Depression is because you overthink, the brain is in a state of tension and overload for a long time, which causes damage to the brain nerves, this damage can be repaired, please don't worry, the brain nerves are damaged, which in turn affects the neurotransmitter secretion of the cerebral cortex is unbalanced, or not secreted at all, these neurotransmitters, such as: serotonin, dopamine, If norepinephrine is not secreted, or secreted less, people will lose their happiness, lose interest, and lose hope, so at this time you are depressed and depressed, which is one of the so-called mental illnesses. Mental illness is not a physical disease, mental illness is a brain disease, and the core point is: you have a problem with your thinking, your cognition is biased, and your value is extreme, which will make you embark on the dark road of depression. ”

"Alas, it seems that I can't see this disease well. ”

"Why?" I smiled.

"Because...... I...... I'm facing the same situation right now as my father. ”

I stared at Li Qiang for a long time, with my head down, the blow I gave him in my childhood was shattered, and now I have experienced the same thing again, but I think that the endurance in his heart is about to collapse.

I took a sip of tea and said to Li Qiang, "How are you feeling now? ”

Li Qiang slowly raised his head and said, "I ......"

"Well, it's a bit reluctant for you to say it, let me tell you, here are the nine criteria for self-evaluation, in fact, in this world, everyone is experiencing depression, it's not surprising at all, even if you have depression, with the right treatment, you can still get back to your old self. Don't think about depression so terrible, the first point, low mood, no sense of pleasure, not feeling happy, the second point, loss of interest, the third point is slow thinking, memory loss, painful thinking in the head, the fourth point, decreased appetite, unexplained sales, losing 10 pounds a month, fifth, repeated thoughts of remembering, sixth low self-esteem, self-blame and guilt, wanting to cry, sadness, despair. Seventh, sleep disorders, with early awakening as the most common, followed by insomnia, a small number of people appear in a hydrophilic state, escaping reality, neurasthenia and defense against reality. Eighth, exercise is reduced, homely, and lacks vitality. Namely: neuromotor retardation, and finally, loss of libido, what do you think you have?"

"It's all there, you've got it all. Li Qiang hugged his head and looked depressed.

"Have you seen a psychiatrist before?" I asked.

"I've seen it, but it doesn't work well. ”

"What's the name of the psychiatrist?"

"Noyan, it's a girl. ”

I was shocked, so coincidentally, I quickly asked, "Is there any contact information for her?"

Li Qiang looked up at me for a second, shook his head, I was disappointed, and continued to ask him, he didn't say anything, I can't help it, this is already my limit, I only learned a little psychological knowledge with Nuoyan and Lele, I am not a professional, and the imposter is not counted, I went out to light a cigarette, I was very annoyed, and finally knew the whereabouts of Nuoyan's hunger, this person just didn't say it, I was thinking of a way, a pair of high heels stood in front of my eyes, and I looked up to see that it was short hair.

"How's my brother?" the short-haired Zuo Mi asked.

I shook my head, didn't speak, I really didn't know what to say, my move made the short hair Zuo Mi anxious, she grabbed my clothes and said.

"How are you talking? ”

"Depression, anxiety, severe insomnia, and even a certain amount of schizophrenia, I'm done, do you still have to ask?"

"What should I do then, is there any medication that can cure it?" Tears spilled from the corners of her eyes, and it was obvious that she was very sad for her brother.

"The drug treats the symptoms but not the root cause, I can't pass this pass in my heart, it's useless, I will briefly talk about a few scientific ways to take sleep drugs, you go to get a little, it's not easy to get, sleep drugs have diazepam drugs, which belong to benzodiazepines, and the names of such drugs are followed by "zolam" and "Western tablets", which are all tranquilizers and sedative drugs, which are of great help to sleep. There are more than 20 kinds of commonly used in clinical practice. Although they are structurally similar, the anxiolytic, sedative-hypnotic, anticonvulsant, muscle relaxant, and tranquilizing effects of the different derivatives have their own emphasis. Derivatives used in sedative hypnosis, including diazepam, fludiazepam, chlordiazeptom, oxazepam, and triazolam. This class of drugs is benzodiazepine receptor agonists, which can cause inhibition of different parts of the central nervous system, and all psychotropic drugs with "azolam and zepam tablets" have tranquilizer and anxiolytic ingredients in them, such as: alprazolam, estazolam, lorazepam tablets. They are both anti-anxiety, anti-panic, calming emotions, and aiding sleep. This kind of drug, taken for a short period of time and according to the doctor's instructions, generally does not cause dependence and addiction. ”

The short-haired Zuo Mi didn't quite understand: "What is dependence?"

"The so-called dependence is those who eat for a long time and in large doses, which will cause dependence and addiction. If it is during the treatment period, according to the doctor's instructions, in the short term, generally no more than half a year, gradually stop, overcome psychological dependence, there will be no dependence!"

"How to take it?" The woman asked a lot of questions, and she told her to take it according to the doctor's instructions, and she was still asking such boring questions.

I glanced at Zuo Mi, who had short hair, and said patiently: " Whether you are taking diazepam drugs or other sleep drugs, the guiding principle is to stop taking the principle of taking half a year, in the early half of the normal amount or add an appropriate amount less than the amount of hunger, within the later two years, that is, after taking it to four months, you can take a reduced dose, of course, the cycle is not a dead half a year, it is okay to extend it appropriately, in short, in the stage of reducing and stopping the drug is gradual, and in the end, you can also take it once every other day, and the principle of a small dose, so as to gradually get rid of the sleep drug. ”

"In this way, my brother is probably hopeless. ”

"Why do you say that?"

"Every time I see his desperate appearance, I feel really uncomfortable, he has a very strong affection for his sister-in-law, I didn't expect my sister-in-law to ...... with other men in front of him"

"The turbulent family is to blame, what is the name of his wife, I can try. ”

"I can't wait to throw her into the river when I see what he's doing. ”

"Is there any contact information, how do you know if you don't try?"

After Zuo Mi gave me my mobile phone number, I went in to see Li Qiang, I continued to smoke, I had to find a way to find Nuoyan as soon as possible, maybe there was a way to get out, it was too comfortable to stay here, it would make people feel relaxed, and it felt like everything was arranged, and there was no soul in living such a life.

Ten minutes later, the short hair Zuo Mi came out, seeing that she was not in a good mood, I drove her back to the hospital, and she didn't say a word along the way, just stared out the window, it won't be affected, it's terrible.

Back in the office, the short-haired Zuo Mi said that she wanted to be alone for a while, and I didn't bother her, she needed to adjust herself, and I went back to Zuo Mi's office.

"Husband, why did you go for so long?" Zuo Mi asked.

"I went to see the manager's brother, Li Qiang said that Nuoyan had treated him before, but the effect was not very good, this is a clue. ”

"Really, I really want to go back, I miss my sister, I miss everyone. ”

"Have the test results for that bottle of medicine come out?"

"Oxazepam, a benzodiazepine receptor agonist, can cause inhibition in different parts of the central nervous system. ”

I slapped the table: "Damn, this Lin Jingming is pit on me, what kind of shit can go back after taking medicine, this medicine will be addictive after taking it, the more you eat, the more serious it will be, fortunately we have an extra mind, Lin Jing, this girl wants to control us through medicine, so that we will never be able to get out." ”

Zuo Mi frowned and said, "It turns out that the bottle of medicine was deliberately placed on the bedside table, and I will look for this woman." ”

"Wait, when have you been so irrational, this is not like the usual you, do you think she will admit it? Even if she admits it, what can we do, we have to rely on ourselves to find Nuoyan, today only let me see hope, it's okay, take your time, I'm a little tired, I'll lie down for a while, someone will come and tell me in advance." ”

"Lie down and rest for a while, no one usually comes to my office. ”

The sofa in Zuo Mi's office was very soft, and he fell asleep unconsciously, and slowly opened his eyes later, which was ......

Why am I here, this is the last invitation with the short-haired Zuo Mi, a figure came over a little blurry, this is not the short hair Zuo Mi, I looked at my current position, what am I doing standing behind the car, I opened my eyes wide, it was another me, at this time the short-haired Zuo Mi was pulling another me in, I secretly followed.
