If the drug is stopped within 4 months after the last depressive episode, 50% of patients receiving antidepressant treatment will relapse.
In another impressive study, patients who initially received cognitive therapy received three additional treatments in the first year, and there were no seizures since then.
Why does it recur? The reason is the same as when I attacked. I experienced the scene when I attacked again. We can't get rid of what we can do, not that we are incompetent. Because life is like this, life will not develop according to your tone. Changing your view of life is the most important thing.
Cognitive therapy can effectively change your view of the world. First find out how you see the world now, then change your opinion, and finally let your changes happen automatically after treatment. You have changed forever, only look at the pessimistic side of the world, focus on positive energy, and naturally will not recur.
With regard to the treatment of Chen Gong mentioned above, we noticed that the focus was on the consolidation of depression in remission. A depressive episode is an individual's inability to accept new ideas and happy things. Drug control is undoubtedly the best solution. The real treatment is remission.
The human brain's ability to accept is beyond imagination. Since you can automatically accept information that leads to depression, you can also automatically accept positive information during remission. The key is when you learned new thinking.
This is similar to the theory of Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine is divided into two steps: the first step is to control the disease with drugs, and the second step is to make up the disease. If you are strong, you won't relapse.
First of all, a depressed person may be very anxious about how long it will take to get out of depression, eager to know when he can fully recover. Depression can indeed be recovered, but it will not be so smooth. Here, as a former depressive patient, a psychology graduate student and a medical teacher, I can give you some advice.
First, about work and life.
Second, the little pleasures of life.
Because depression is full of yourself and your own problems, you lose the ability to observe external things and feel little fun. There are many little pleasures in life that can help you cheer up. The future is not as dark as you think. In fact, it is not only great events that can help you find happiness in life. If you are good at discovering, so can small things. For example, I saw the sunshine on the flowerpot on the balcony, and the cat basked in the sunshine of lazy sheep on the balcony. If it really doesn't work, you can also try mindfulness meditation, but you don't need to like meditation to stick to it, but if you stick to it, you will get something. Sunny, free activities, watching movies. Go to a lively restaurant for a meal.
Third, wait and accept.
If you feel pain, don't try to escape, or resist, or hate yourself. If you don't like yourself, who else in this world will love you? You should learn to love yourself and know yourself. Don't run away, don't fight, don't suppress your feelings and don't try to overcome them (in my opinion, every fight is sometimes considered by patients to be waiting and accepting, but it's actually not, it's forbearance). You just need to accept, wait until one day you can face these feelings without pain, or forget them for a while, and you may come back every day, but this is exactly what you want to experience, but every time you can face them with acceptance and hope, and your feelings will get better and better in the future.
Fourth, you are depressed, not the whole world.
You should remember that the cause of depression lies in yourself, in your sensitive nerves, not in the world that scares you. The world is not unfair to you, nor is it hard for you. You can say to yourself that although the situation was bad yesterday, it may not be much better today. But as long as you wait patiently, life will definitely get better. If you can think like this every time, then the miracle will happen slowly. However, it is understandable that you are eager to happen early, but be patient and be patient again. When temporary relief highlights your pain, re-examine your thoughts and thoughts and replace them with hope.
Fifth, if you really can't help it, you must go to the hospital. Hospital treatment can help you forget the pain temporarily and play a great role in your recovery. But psychological recovery is the key point after treatment and remission.
Depression is a disease with both psychological and physical symptoms, which can be cured slowly by accepting and waiting patiently.
Why "tame" it?
I'm Sister Tianlan, a psychological counselor. Please see if my answer is appropriate.
You want to control it, make it listen to you and leave you alone, right?
But depression, how can it be so easily "tamed"? It came and went without a trace. Maybe someone in your family has been tortured by it. Maybe a few generations ago, you had a problem with it.
When it comes, you are afraid and have nowhere to hide. You even hate it, want to kick it, want to hit it. "Let's go! I don't need you, I hate you! " Is that so?
However, depression is such a thing. The more you hate it, the more it haunts you. It says, "I just came to see you. Why do you hate me so much? I won't go! " "
It said: I am a part of you. If you hate me, you hate yourself!
This is really desperate. What shall we do? If so:
It comes, you say: you come. It said: Yes, I am coming again.
You said: I try to be with myself. I used many methods, and I really found that maybe you won't leave me completely, just like a part of me. In that case, I will accept the fact that you can come whenever you want, and just close the door from the outside when you want to leave.
I'm trying to be with myself now, using some techniques, such as breathing exercises, yoga and chanting Buddhist scriptures. Sometimes go to the sun, exercise, and sometimes go to psychological counseling. These are all ways to keep myself. You can sit down for a while if you like.
I am ready to face you. I didn't run away. Perhaps, this is a way for God to let me, a sensitive and kind person, meet a mission and let me know more. I learned to think slowly. When you came, my artistic talent was particularly good. Maybe you are a gift.
Although you make me miserable and powerless, which hinders my development, this is my destiny, and I accept it and try my best.
I won't tame you. I respect your existence as much as I respect myself. There are many people like me in this world, and I am not alone. I respect you when you come, and I will go naturally when you go. This is you.
That's about it. Imagine what the black dog will be like now.
Maybe it wagged its tail and left.
I'm Sister Tianlan, a psychological counselor, Ben replied, only for people who can understand.
The essence of depression is that we connect many wrong negative energy things with the outside world without knowing it or not, forming your wrong thinking and ideas. You don't know it yourself, but you always think it's right. In the process of doing things in life, you constantly use these wrong thoughts and ideas to solve problems, attracting more negative energy, and the negative energy accumulates more and more, and finally you can't solve it with your own wrong thinking, forming this so-called depression.
You must be wrong in your heart, because the right thing will not bring pain to people. The right thing will only bring love and all the good things. Only when it is wrong, people will have pain. Since we are suffering, it proves that our thinking must be wrong.
Many people don't know, and they have been looking for reasons from the outside, complaining, hating, regretting, blaming themselves and so on. As a result, the more they are entangled in negative energy, the more painful they are.
Because mistakes are in our hearts, only by truly recognizing our mistakes from the heart, knowing what is really right and moving in the right direction can we truly change completely and bid farewell to this so-called depression.
Don't say that depression is difficult to solve. Many people really know the right way of thinking and are really willing to change. They don't want to be as miserable as before. The change is very fast. The so-called "wholeheartedly in hell, wholeheartedly for the sky" can be completely changed in a short time.
Maybe some people are too persistent, and the negative energy associated with it is too deep-rooted. It is only a matter of time before they make up their minds to really do it. Unless you don't think about it yourself, you want to immerse yourself in negative energy and pain and don't really want to come out.
Because I used to be a patient with severe depression and anxiety, but now I have completely changed. I sincerely hope that you will recover soon and get rid of the pain completely.
I hope my answer can help you, and I hope everyone can live a healthy and happy life without any psychological problems such as depression.
The root of depression is the negative memory in the subconscious. If the trauma caused by those negative events is transformed at the subconscious or even unconscious level, the problem will be completely solved. Just like a sad song played on a tape, it is useless for you to turn off the recording or cover it with happy music. It's still there, so you have to try to rewrite it on tape.
Some people have followed up the patients with depression for 10 years, and found that 75% ~ 80% of the patients have recurred many times, so the patients with depression need preventive treatment. More than 3 episodes require long-term treatment or even lifelong medication.
Psychotherapy and social support system play a very important role in preventing the recurrence of this disease. We should try our best to reduce our excessive psychological burden and pressure, help ourselves solve practical difficulties and problems in life and work, improve our coping ability, and actively create a good environment to prevent recurrence.
In addition, clinical findings in recent years show that mindfulness training can effectively prevent recurrence and is worth a try.
At present, the causes of depression are not particularly clear, but a lot of research and evidence show that: first, it is related to heredity, because depression has certain family-specific phenomena and characteristics, but it cannot be called hereditary disease; Second, it is related to personal personality, such as introversion and sensitivity; Third, it is related to the decrease of serotonin concentration, norepinephrine and emotional substances; Fourth, external factors, such as lovelorn, frustration at work and so on. I hope it helps you, and I wish you a speedy recovery.
Let's face it, I have suppressed myself 12 years, and now it has seriously affected people around me and my life. The doctor said it was eight months to 12 months, but there will be some adverse reactions after the initial medication, but I hope the outcome is good.
It's not clear at this time, but you can gradually heal yourself in the following ways:
Find a suitable psychological evaluation method-find an effective method to evaluate your current state, so as to keep abreast of your situation and track your progress.
Establish an emotional support system-a trustworthy doctor; Relatives (such as spouses, partners, family members or close friends); Members of mutual aid groups; Colleagues and employees help plan members. These people can help you get through the darkest stage smoothly.
Seek correct diagnosis and treatment-you must find professionals in the field of mental health to make a diagnosis. The author suggests that it is best to have a relative to accompany you when you go to see a doctor. As a bridge between you and the doctor, it can help you make some auxiliary records and supplements.
Find a job that can bring you a new life.
Daily exercise-Research shows that a brisk walk for 20 minutes or an exercise equivalent to the amount of exercise can significantly improve your mood.
Let's get started-make a plan for a week, set moderate and feasible progress goals, celebrate every progress, and arrange some entertainment for yourself.
