The number of patients with depression worldwide has increased by more than 300 million. If happiness is too difficult, then I wish you peace.

Recently, the topic of "more than 300 million people with depression in the world" boarded a hot search, which once again attracted people's attention.

Many people may not know that depression is not melodramatic or bad mood, but a common mental illness. There are more than 300 million patients with depression in the world, and the prevalence rate of depression in China is 2. 1%.

People who have never had depression don't know how terrible it is.

Leslie Cheung jumped off the 24th floor of Wenhua Oriental Hotel on April 1 2003, and left a note saying, "I have never done anything bad in my life. Why? "

Zhong Xuan, a native of SHINee, committed suicide by burning charcoal at home on February 20 17. He wrote in his suicide note:

I started to malfunction from the inside. A little bit of depression nibbled at me and eventually swallowed me up. I can't get over it. I hate myself.

We looked dumbfounded when we learned that they had left. "How could it be them?"

In the eyes of many people, autistic, lonely, eccentric, sensitive and fragile are what people with depression should look like.

Actually, no.

There is no so-called "appearance" of depression. Some people want to commit suicide when they laugh.

As netizens commented: Many cheerful and smiling people may also be experiencing great pain and suffering.

Last year1October 29th 10, a girl 17 years old jumped into the reservoir with her 10 year old sister. Despite the best efforts of the search and rescue team, they failed to save two young lives.

The girl left a suicide note before committing suicide, confessing the pain caused by depression;

"I feel that depression has never been better, and it has tortured me again and again. Depression is so terrible that it can't be cured without in-depth treatment.

All my departures were premeditated, and I admit that I am too fragile to withstand any blow. "

Thinking of my sister's own experience, I died with my sister, and I don't have to suffer any more.

In the face of diligent people, many people always say:

"Relax."

"Don't be melodramatic."

"It's no big deal. I have experienced bigger things before. "

"Are you so worthy of your parents?" .

In the eyes of these people, life "has no endless suffering, and there is no hurdle to cross."

They think that the so-called depression is just a sentimental moan. As long as you convince and think, depression can heal itself.

However, what they don't know is that depression has nothing to do with strength. This is a disease, a very serious disease.

Depression is like a terrible black hole. If you don't pay attention, it will devour people.

I remember this story:

There is a person who crouches in a dark corner with a black umbrella every day and never communicates with the outside world.

Until one day, someone squatted there to imitate her, and she asked, are you also a mushroom?

This story, as a joke, tells a very simple fact:

You don't need empathy, but at least you have to be respected and understood to open your heart.

"Ordinary people often lack respect for the sufferings of others."

This is the inner monologue of Andrew Solomon, an American writer, in the documentaries Melancholy and Talking about Depression, and it is also the strong voice of patients with depression.

After being ignored many times, they laughed and slammed the escape window. From then on, they learned to control and hide, and let their emotions pile up into a wall.

For them, living is already a kind of torture.

Late at night on August 25th, actor Rayza exposed the diagnosis of depression in the hospital. You can clearly see that the diagnosis is:

At present, it is a major depressive episode and there is a risk of suicide.

When she talked about her illness, she didn't feel happy at all, but lost interest in everything:

Loss of appetite, loss of social desire, loss of interest and motivation, and finally loss of desire to survive.

Who would have thought that a girl who is so sunny in front of people will have such a painful side.

Freud said in mourning and depression:

The most prominent features of depression are very painful depression, loss of love, low self-evaluation and self-condemnation.

There used to be a girl named Zou Fan in Weibo.

One day she sent a Weibo through a time machine, which was her last Weibo.

Before this Weibo was seen by everyone, she left Weibo and left this world.

In the words left by Weibo, we can see her struggle and sinking, but we can't feel her pain.

Just below her last Weibo, there have been more than 1 10,000 comments.

Click on the comments and you can see that many people are struggling in pain.

Millions of comments are filled with too many different or similar despairs. It's all true, and every one is shocking:

Churchill once said:

Depression in my heart is like a black dog, biting me every chance.

Obviously, everyone is working hard, but they are dragged into the dark mire by depression.

A suicide survivor of depression once said that he didn't really want to die:

"I think most people who want to commit suicide don't really want to die. They just want to end their pain and fight suicidal tendencies every day. This kind of life is really hard. "

The most terrible thing about depression is that it can make a person completely collapse without any signs and words.

People who are not afraid of death are most afraid of living.

I saw a movie called "My husband has depression" before.

The protagonist Yohei Kono is a typical Japanese office worker.

Because of the pressure of work, he began to suffer from insomnia, crying, sensitivity and loss of appetite. He seems powerless.

The boss didn't understand: "With so much work, everyone is going to be depressed." Stop complaining. "

The tortured husband went to the hospital and was diagnosed with depression. Doctors say that depression is a "cold of the soul".

The doctor comforted her husband not to be nervous. Treating depression is like treating a cold. Use drugs to control symptoms first, and then improve a little.

The wife learned that her husband was ill and asked him to resign immediately and go home to rest: if you don't resign, I will divorce you.

Takano dry man cried and said that he was particularly useless, but Haruko replied:

"Don't do what you can't do. If you are in pain, don't work hard, no matter how difficult it is. "

Later, Haruko and her husband went out and found that the tram was crowded with people, and the smell of sweat filled every corner, which was disgusting.

At that moment, as a housewife, she finally realized how difficult it is for a husband who never takes a vacation and goes to work on time:

"Trams are so crowded that you can really stand it for so many years. You don't have to sit down from tomorrow. It's really hard. "

As a result, after listening to his wife's words, Gao Yegan burst into tears in full view.

I'm glad you said that.

Accompanied by his wife, the sick husband recovered a little and rediscovered the beauty of life.

Depression is not terrible. The terrible thing is that one person fights against all loneliness, one person fights against all anxiety, and one person fights against all gossip and pressure around him.

Every patient with depression has been hovering on the edge of the cliff of life and death. Some people are forced to the last, and there is no way out. Only when you die can you live in peace with the world.

The living are trying to save themselves every minute.

If you have relatives and friends with symptoms of depression, don't forget to lend them a helping hand.

Give them warm and selfless love, encourage them to receive treatment, and silently accompany them out of the haze.

There is a saying in 755-79000: If happiness is too difficult, then I wish you peace.

When you think the night is too long, don't worry, it will light up eventually.

When you learn to give yourself a hand, you can usher in the spring when everything recovers.

So, have peace, out of the dark.
