Short sentences of patients with depression

1, everything depends on you. You should be more optimistic.

Hearing this sentence, I want to smash it with a life-size doll. Because, although positive imagination is very helpful to train the brain, many studies show that for those who are severely depressed or very anxious, forcing themselves to think positively can only activate the amygdala (the source of fear in the brain).

You should leave your small world and return to society.

This sentence will only make things worse. Because a person will not only suffer from depression, but also feel guilty because he is addicted to himself. It is certainly good to return to society, but you have to wait until a person is healthy enough to serve a bowl of soup.

3. Why don't you exercise?

This is really a good idea. Exercise can really fight depression. But telling others that you should exercise is like telling others that you look so big in these jeans. You should hint, not say it directly, unless this person is your boxing partner.

Go shopping and you will feel better.

What does this have to do with me? Because (1) I have no money to go shopping. (2) Although I know that diet will affect my mood, the healthier I eat, the better, but I hate it when you tell me that food is the cause of my depression.

You just need meditation and yoga.

Correction: Only patients with mild depression need meditation and relaxation, and both can really work. But severe anxiety and depression are different. In fact, in the process of doing yoga, I am more inclined to commit suicide.

6. Find a new job!

Maybe your lover becomes depressed because of work, and stress will make the body produce toxins, which is our health killer, especially for mental health. However, it is not recommended to let a person jump ship during depression. Changing jobs requires more comprehensive consideration.

7. Happy marriage or happy love?

Once again, gender conflict does lead to depression. Many people think there must be something wrong around them, so they suffer from depression, and their spouses are the closest people around them, so their spouses naturally become the object of condemnation. Many people almost left their other half when they were clinically diagnosed with depression. Don't ask the above questions to imply that people with depression, the other half is the reason for your depression, which may ruin a good relationship.

8. You have the ability to make yourself better.

This sentence clearly tells you that all medical treatment is arsenic, which is useless except destroying your mood. Guess what? Some advanced drugs really promote recovery, really! Just like chemotherapy for cancer patients and insulin for diabetes patients, will you tell a breast cancer patient that you have the ability to get better? No, I don't think so.
