The photos you posted on your WeChat Moments have long exposed your depressive tendencies.

Every time during the holidays, when you open your circle of friends, you can see many friends sharing their happiness.

But is their happiness true? Or is it just to cover up the pain in their hearts.

Perhaps, some smiles are not really happy.

They just use pictures to hide their true appearance.

Next time, when you find something seems wrong with your friend, why not take the initiative to ask "Are you okay?"

Moments is another person's picture. "Face".

You may not know that your circle of friends not only exposes your life.

It may also reveal your tendency toward depression. 01 ?

“Sunbath Maniac”

May be a patient with potential depression

A study published in the EPJ Data Science journal shows:

It is possible to identify whether a person is prone to depression simply based on information on Instagram and other social platforms.

The prediction accuracy is as high as 70%.

The researchers selected 166 Instagram users, including healthy people, patients with clinical depression, and people who had recovered from depression.

More than 40,000 photos they posted on Instagram were rated by humans and computers.

During manual scoring, the experimenter scores based on the intuitive feeling given by the photo.

Computer evaluation uses software to analyze the color saturation, brightness and clarity of photos, and also monitors faces through facial recognition.

At the end of the test, the researchers found that:

People with depression or tendencies to depression prefer photos with dark colors such as blurry and faded or "black, white and gray";

Non-depressed users prefer photos with bright, rich, and clear colors.

Not only that, depressed users prefer to use black and white filters, while non-depressed users prefer color filters.

The experimenter pointed out that although it is not 100% accurate to use the tone and brightness of photos posted on social platforms to determine whether a person has a tendency to be depressed, it is enough to serve as a reference for diagnosis.

There are also several interesting findings in the research results:

Users with a tendency to be depressed are more likely to post photos containing close-ups of faces, and the number of people in the photos is higher than that of non-depressed users. Much less.

Photos posted by depressed patients or people with depression tendencies will receive more comments than non-depressed users;

However, non-depressed users will receive more likes.

Although there is still a long way to go before accurate prediction, this method is of great significance to ordinary people:

Maybe pay more attention to the details of the photos in the circle of friends. It can save a heart that is on the verge of collapse at some point.

Random thoughts in the circle of friends

You can also tell whether you are depressed

An ordinary photo can Reflects a person's psychology.

Can a carefully edited piece of text reveal a person’s status?

Someone in China has also done an experiment: through the dynamics posted by student users on Weibo. Identify if he suffers from depression.

The researchers captured the students’ personal information and Weibo information, and manually marked non-depressed users and users with depressive tendencies.

The frequency of keywords and emoticons was confirmed, and the differences in language and behavior of these users on social networks were compared.

And through computer program algorithms, a "depressive tendency user classification and identification model" was established.

The results show that in social networks, patients with potential depression are more likely to:

"Be active during breaks, have a lower willingness to connect with others, and be less willing to connect with others in the network." There is also less attention.

”

What’s more noteworthy is that they show a tendency to express negative emotions on the Internet far more than non-depressed users.

Modern people seem to be more inclined to Express negative emotions on Weibo

Most of the words that I dare not post in the circle of friends are negative and sad.

The circle of friends has been quiet for a while, and only after a few pages of Weibo. "The world is not worth it."

On WeChat there are positive and progressive young people, on Weibo there are desperate girls who talk about "death" every day.

Just because on WeChat. Most of them are acquaintances, but on Weibo you can only have yourself and strangers.

Those who don’t want to be noticed are thrown away in a place where they can’t be found.

Even so, we still see some updates like this in our circle of friends from time to time:

"Is life not going well? Look in the mirror more often, and you will understand why. ”

“If placed in the wrong place, diamonds can be mistaken for stones. But no matter where the stone is placed, it is still a stone. ”

A text that seems to be ridiculing but is actually depressing, coupled with an emoticon.

Or sharing a sad thing that you have just experienced, but you must use “I "It's okay" to cover up.

If you want to be comforted, you have to pretend to be strong.

A psychiatrist said: "The content people post on Moments is often affected by their personality. Some people are good at Managing emotions, some people are not good at managing them.

For the same small accident, some people may make fun of it and pass it by, while others may get angry. ”

It is normal to post on WeChat Moments to vent negative emotions.

But “emotions can envelop thinking. If they are not actively managed and adjusted in time, it may affect To the understanding of life, no matter what happens, it will give yourself negative hints. ”

Such potential depression patients need to “come out” a little on their own, and they also need friends to give them more care.

Through the circle of friends, you may be able to identify a person

Many people may be just pretending to be happy. ? 03 ?

Depression

may be very close to us.

Whether it is Weibo or WeChat Moments, some sad jokes can always attract a lot of likes.

The emotional changes of contemporary people may not be that big after all. Optimism.

Depression is largely the result of long-term accumulation of negative emotions.

According to data released by the World Health Organization, depression is currently the fourth leading disease in the world. /p>

More than 300 million people worldwide suffer from depression, and no age group is immune.

On the World Mental Health Day (October 10) that just passed, Kantar Health released. The Global Health and Wellness Study?

The report shows that in the United States, 28.4% of people have self-tested symptoms of depression.

In China. This number is 3.7, and there are currently about 30 million people diagnosed with depression.

Only less than 10 of them can receive professional help and treatment.

More. Patients may not realize that they have depression at all, let alone treatment.

Depression is not easy to diagnose, and non-professional psychiatrists in general hospitals have low recognition rates of depression. Very low.

Moreover, in the eyes of many people, depression is a "hypocrisy" and a temporary "sadness", not a disease.

So many people don't want others to know. He "may be sick" and cannot get help from others.

This often results in misdiagnosis, missed diagnosis, and delayed treatment.

For more people. , depression may be slightly severe, but depressive mood may appear frequently.

Either you are frustrated because you are not satisfied with your job, or you are hurt because your relationship is not going well...

Depression is always accompanied by ups and downs, and it comes as it comes.

It may be lurking in a certain photo or comment in your circle of friends.

Timely concern

Sometimes it can save someone’s life

Many times, we can feel our own emotions I am depressed, but it is difficult to notice the strangeness of the friends around me.

Especially those who choose to cover up their sadness with a smile.

There is a common mental illness in clinical psychology called "smiling depression".

The patient always appears happy in front of others, but he is always suffering from depression inside and struggles with low mood every day.

Eason Chan, who appears to have a flamboyant personality, will sing "The Lonely Patient" to himself:

"I am a crybaby with emotional illness. On the surface, I am an optimistic person, and occasionally I have a lot of It’s not that I’m dissatisfied, I’m very satisfied. But I feel suffocated and sad.”

Five years ago, a senior girl from Nanjing left her last words on Weibo:

"I have depression, so I decided to die. There is no important reason. You don’t need to care about my departure. Goodbye."

In fact, she also wrote on Weibo Had a lot of interesting little jokes. While showing off his humor, he also expressed his despair.

"The Moments you see are actually 'distress signals' sent by friends."

In many cases, this is not a joke.

The workplace requires everyone to be "invulnerable", the adult world requires people to be "calm", and parents require their children to be "optimistic and strong"...

So I had to hide my sadness and bring " Smile Mask”.

Occasionally, I can’t bear it any more, so I carefully hide my loss in my circle of friends and in my lyrics...

Perhaps, can the research on depression be true? For predicting depression, the experimental results are not that important.

Importantly, it reminds us:

Should we re-examine our circle of friends?

Can we occasionally give more to some friends? Warmth?

Depression is not a terminal illness. About 85% of patients with depression will overcome the disease instead of committing suicide.

Some netizens found a heart-warming thing on Instagram:

When you search for #depression, the system will automatically ask you if you have encountered difficulties. Need help.

Not all people with depression tendencies will be moved by this little warmth.

But maybe everyone who is experiencing depression hopes to have a pair of hands to hold them back a little when they are sad.

At the 2017 American MTV Video Music Awards, three rappers performed the song "1-800-273-8255".

A group of people came to the stage wearing white T-shirts. Without exception, they all had a series of numbers written on the front: "1-800-273-8255"?, and "?you are not alone" on the back. ?” (You are not alone).

This number is the American Suicide Prevention Hotline?.

Everyone wearing a white T-shirt has experienced suicide.

They tell the audience this way: When you feel depressed or even have suicidal thoughts, don't forget to seek help. You are never alone.

The day after the performance, the number of calls to the suicide prevention hotline increased by 50%.

Modern people are becoming more and more prone to depression.

A small thing is enough to drive people crazy.

I feel more and more sad, and I also need more and more comfort and a hug.

If you have also noticed that recently, good friends suddenly started posting various dark pictures in their circle of friends.

Or some negative, slightly tired text.

Don’t be afraid of trouble, take the initiative to chat with her and learn about her current situation.

They need you to help them "break out of the cocoon".

Sometimes, "the pain of not being understood is also the driver of death."
