He hadn't had a day of sleep for a week, and he was like a walking dead all day long, and he took sleep medication before going to bed yesterday.

He felt that he was suffering from depression, and it seems that many writers are depressed?

However, he felt that the depression was only mild, and he had already suffered a great sense of powerlessness, and he could not imagine how a severely ill patient would struggle to walk through every 24 hours.

Until one morning, he finally had a headache that he couldn't write, so he went to the hospital.

The doctor of the pit father diagnosed him with insufficient blood supply to the brain and prescribed a bunch of symptomatic drugs.

The medicine had a slight effect and relieved my headache, but it did not remove the boulder from my brain.

But even so, when he was really asked to sleep, he had to toss and turn for a long time before he could fall asleep, and his sleep was so light that the slightest movement would wake him up, and before that he was a man who could fall asleep in ten seconds with a pillow on it.

He had to take a nap at noon, or his head would explode in the afternoon.

Shingo Harano has almost forgotten what it is like to have a clear mind.

Unable to maintain the habit of reading after meals, he turned to sleeping against the window;

He no longer goes out to move, because he starts to get motion sickness, and he gets dizzy and nauseous after sitting for a long time.

Every day, as soon as he entered the house, he could only lie in bed and could not move.

He didn't want to see people, he didn't want to answer the phone, he didn't want to talk to people, he didn't want to go out, such simple things were so miserable for him, he began to enter an abyssal social dilemma, and his hands and feet were like ropes growing out of my ropes to bind me completely.

He began to feel that my life was completely hopeless. He later learned that he had entered a mild state of "depression and stupor".

In the second week, he met a reliable doctor who advised him to see a psychiatrist.

When he first heard this diagnosis, he felt ridiculous, he was a very open-minded person, and in recent years, he has not had anything to worry about me depressed, where did mental illness come from, and he is all physical symptoms, what does it have to do with mental illness.

But Shingo Harano went anyway, and sure enough, he was diagnosed with depression, and all the symptoms were physical symptoms of depression.

At the first consultation, the doctor asked him a lot of personal questions, carefully analyzed his cause for him, and determined that his work and rest and physiological imbalance were caused by emotional reasons, and he failed to adjust and solve them in time, and the emotional fatigue and pressure that had accumulated for a long time instantly erupted, which caused depression.

The doctor prescribed him symptomatic medicine, and after two days of eating, his symptoms were almost completely suppressed, and he began to return to his normal life, getting up normally, washing normally, talking normally, working normally, sleeping normally, and his mental numbness was improved.

It's just that the boulder in his head is still there, and it can't be removed.

This drug also made him very dependent, once because the doctor stopped the medicine for a few days, he felt dizzy, vomiting, and his body had an over-electric tingling sensation from time to time, and he couldn't move in bed.

There was also a period of insomnia in between, and my head was so tired that it was about to explode every minute, but I couldn't sleep anyway.

I stayed up until dawn and could finally understand why insomnia could kill a person, and luckily my insomnia only lasted for a week.

Too many people don't understand depression and have misunderstandings about it, so they take an incorrect attitude towards the people around them who are depressed, even if it is well-intentioned, but to some extent it actually aggravates the distress of the other person.

The opposite of depression is not "happy", just like he is not unhappy.

The opposite of depression is "vitality".

It was his body that was trapped by the disease, which caused his life to be trapped, and the energy in his body seemed to be drained, causing his life to be evacuated.

Therefore, do not say "be happy" or "want to open a little" to a depressed person, it is not the mood that causes him to be depressed, and being happy and wanting to open a little will not alleviate his pain.

What's more, the vast majority of patients with depression have lost the mental regulation mechanism of "being happy and wanting to open".

Because of the first one, don't judge whether a person is depressed or not by whether he is happy or not, there is no equivalence between the two.

"You are so funny all day long, how can you be depressed" is a complete misreading.

Depression is a disease.

It's not a pessimistic and lost mood, it's not hypocrisy, it's not a pretentious gesture, it's the failure of the function to manage emotions, and it's the inability of the brain to secrete energetic factors.

So instead of saying to a depressed person, "What do you have to be depressed, I'm still depressed?", would you say to a cancer patient, "What do you have to be weak and sad, I am still weak and sad"?

Depression is a disease, and if it is a disease, you need to take medicine.

It is true that some people have mild depression and get through it by themselves, but for the vast majority of depressed patients, it is not a solution, and it is not a disease that can be fought with will.

The external manifestations of depression are very complex, and pessimistic and depressed mood is certainly a symptom, but more often it is also manifested through physical symptoms, such as dizziness, fatigue, etc.

Therefore, do not deny the possibility of a person's depression by saying that there are no psychological symptoms but only physical symptoms.

Don't ask people with depression, "Why are you depressed?" “

Many people have depression that doesn't have the exact cause, just like cancer patients don't know why they got cancer.

Depressed patients will have worse emotional control than ordinary people, in addition to often not wanting to speak, often can't help but lose control of their emotions and temper, I hope everyone can understand, for this emotional loss of control Depression patients themselves are also distressed.

Don't say to people with depression, "It's not a good thing, what's there to say everywhere."

Depression is a common disease, 11% of people have varying degrees of depressive symptoms, which is nothing to see, "telling" will relieve the mental pressure of depressed patients.

It's as if I tease my depression in a funny tone all day long, on the one hand, I am relieving my own pressure, and on the other hand, I also hope that through my ridicule, everyone knows that depression is a disease and does not have any prejudice against it.

For people with depression, the mental burden of being as light as a feather can bring unbearable psychological stress.

There can be pressure at social events, such as gatherings with unfamiliar people, excessive attention from others, such as family members' concerns about marital status, and sudden changes in life, such as the departure of pets that have been raised since childhood.

These pressures are real to the average person, but a depressed person really doesn't have the strength to deal with these even the slightest negative emotions, which can push him deeper and deeper into his mental predicament.

Don't force them to do anything, a stable environment is very important for people with depression.

The loneliness and despair of people with depression often come from misunderstanding or contempt from the outside world.

The outside world doesn't understand that you are really sick, and the disease is very complex, which leads to a lot of cynicism, which can make the already dark life of a depressed person even worse.

In the fight against depression, patients need not the great principles of the people around them, but support and encouragement, and to put it simply, understanding and care.

Shingo Harano lived alone at home like a walking corpse for nearly a month, not contacting anyone from the outside world, until one day, a man came to visit.
