How do people with depression leave this world?

Basically, depression mainly needs to be treated.

As a psychiatric disease, depression is a kind of disease. Of course, it can be cured, but the prerequisite is that you must establish confidence in treatment. Once established, don’t waver easily!

Everyone is well aware of the manifestations of depression. I do not exclude psychotherapy or other self-regulation methods for the treatment of depression. Indeed, some patients have improved their symptoms through self-regulation or psychological consultation, but others The experience may not apply to you, and your situation may not be the same as others. It still requires a specialist to judge the severity of depression. If your symptoms are very mild and you insist on other treatment methods without taking medicine, the doctor will Respect your choice; but if your depression has reached moderate to severe or above, please be sure to go to a psychiatric hospital for treatment, because simple psychological treatment is almost ineffective for moderate to severe depression.

You don’t like to hear about drug treatment. Let me give you an example. I was on duty on Sunday and admitted a female patient with depression who was upset, anxious, depressed, lost interest, energy, and pessimistic. , because his business failed, he just cut his wrists and committed suicide a few days ago. He was rescued by his family in time and sent to the hospital for treatment. There are still considerable risks in such a severe depression. On the one hand, the patient's husband is advised to monitor him 24 hours a day to prevent the patient from impulsively committing suicide again; on the other hand, considering that the patient is currently depressed and has strong anxiety symptoms, in severe cases, he may even want to hit a wall. To relieve anxiety, I chose the dual-channel antidepressant duloxetine hydrochloride tablets. The advantage is that both serotonin and norepinephrine channels work at the same time, and the antidepressant effect is stronger than the traditional selective serotonin reuptake. Suppressants, of course, the single use of antidepressants cannot relieve the patient's mood as quickly as possible. Tandospirone and lorazepam also improve the patient's strong anxiety symptoms. During this period, the patient's mood also fluctuated, but they all calmed down one by one. During the ward rounds this morning, the patient was able to look at his mobile phone and was obviously much more energetic. Loss of interest in depression is often the first symptom of recovery, and the loss of energy will also fade away. I am very pleased to see that she has controlled her anxiety and depression symptoms so quickly. The patient asked me today to go to a local relative's house. Let's go. She and I agreed that if her mood is stable these two days, she can let her husband accompany her to a relative's house after taking medicine on Friday.

Maybe you haven’t spoken out about your problem, maybe your problem is still stubborn with the female patient I mentioned, but as a psychiatrist, you still have the confidence to help you get out of depression, just like I was afraid that her mood would not be relieved, so I prepared other drug treatments and physical therapy plans. I am just an ordinary psychiatrist, and there are many experts and "big names" above me. There is always one that can suit you.

I am not advising you to go to a psychiatric hospital because I am a psychiatrist. I am just telling you what I think is most suitable for you based on my professional experience. I hope that you who are suffering from depression will go less often. It is a detour, and I hope that the whole society can accept the mysterious place of mental hospitals from the heart. Just like other hospitals, this is a place where diseases are treated and lives are saved.

Finally, I will give you my favorite joke from an old-timer: "I have special prevention skills for the most evil form of depression: don't regret yesterday, don't be angry about today, and don't worry about tomorrow. , don’t despise sleep, don’t reject exercise, love yourself, embrace life, remember, there are no tears in Moscow!”
