Emotionally, it is difficult for people to embrace happiness if they can't meet a warm person walking into the heart and helping each other in the same boat. - Author's message

Depression is a common word, but the suicide tragedies it causes are all shocking.

Depression, also known as depressive disorder, is the main type of mood disorder with significant and persistent depressed mood as the main clinical feature. Clinically, depressed mood is not commensurate with his situation, and emotional depression can range from depression to grief, low self-esteem and depression, and even pessimistic and misanthropic, and there may be suicide attempts or behaviors; Even stupor; Some cases have significant anxiety and motor agitation; In severe cases, psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions may occur.

Worldwide, the number of people suffering from depression is about 340 million, with a prevalence of about 4.4% and an incidence of about 11%. Most reports set the prevalence of depression in China in the range of 3%~5%, but some claim that it has reached 6.1%.

Depression is now the fourth most common disease in the world and is expected to become the second most common disease in the world after heart disease by 2020. Depression will be the main killer of humanity in the 21st century. Fifteen percent of severe patients will end their lives by committing suicide, two-thirds of patients have had suicidal thoughts, and the number of suicide deaths due to depression is estimated to be as high as one million each year. The number of people suffering from depression worldwide is growing, with 5.8% of men and 9.5% of women experiencing symptoms of depression in the coming year.

Why is depression so menacing and soaring in people's spiritual world? Whenever this question comes to mind, I have only one answer -

The world is very cold, and many people choose to stab others excessively while not getting warmth themselves.

Man's malice towards man is the source of the disease of temptation. The inadvertent "evil" of one person towards another person - a word, a single thing, can become "the last straw that breaks the camel's back"......

The original intention of writing this novel is that I have read too many news reports about tragedies caused by depression, whether it is ordinary people or celebrities, when the disease comes, no one can escape. At the same time, I have close friends who are suffering from depression...... These things touched my heart to a great extent, and I would like to present some feelings about depression, the real heart of the patient, and the related treatment of the disease through the form of a novel.

I hope that more people will know about depression and depressed patients, and I also hope that patients who are reading this novel will be healed and inspired by it, and can see their own shadow from the protagonist. Please come on and be stronger! One day, you will get rid of your illness, be optimistic, and be invincible in life!

Perhaps, in the world of Tong Xiaoqi, who is suffering from depression, there is only heaven and hell, and there is only one step away. The meaning of redemption is that the person in the process of getting along with her ultimately determines which way she will take that step......
