Does COPD depression end up dying

It is not possible to say whether death will be given or not, but patients with COPD often experience depression, and psychological care is very important in this case. If not detected and channeled in time, it can easily lead to serious consequences. Only by understanding the common manifestations of depression can it be detected in time and early**.

Common manifestations of depression:

Loss or even loss of interest: People with a wide range of hobbies, once they suffer from depression, this is easily noticed by those around them; Without any hobbies, if there is no interest in daily work, enjoyment of life and family fun, etc., and there is no happiness experienced, it is certain that interest has decreased significantly or is lost.

Hopelessness: feeling that everything is bad for the individual, the future is bleak, and the loss of hope for the future is a manifestation of depression, on the contrary, normal people have hope for the future, such as academic progress, career achievements, family health and longevity, etc.; I often have a variety of small wishes, such as saving money to buy a high-end product, enjoying a beautiful **, and going out with the family on the weekend.

Helplessness: This feeling is painful, especially when the patient is unable to express himself and does not want to seek medical attention, and they are convinced that the doctor can not help him, because he feels different from all the others, as if he has passed away, fallen into the bottom of a deep valley, and everything is irreparable, and no one can save him. The patient felt strangely lonely and alienated from others.

Decreased self-esteem: The patient feels that he or she is actually incapable of doing nothing, that he cannot do anything, and that he is a complete waste. At the very least, the patient feels that his knowledge is not as good as he used to be. Some patients have deep feelings of guilt or even guilt.

Loss of vitality: The patient feels that his whole "person" has collapsed, collapsed, and fallen apart. He made it clear that the main thing was not that he had no physical strength, but that he had lost his motivation mentally, and that he needed to be urged or pushed by others to do anything (including taking care of himself), otherwise he didn't want to move at all.

Many patients struggle to get cheered up, but they can't hold on. The patient thinks he's "a puddle of mud – he can't help himself up." ”

Feeling that life is meaningless: Instead of feeling that a certain way of life is meaningless, the patient feels that life is fundamentally meaningless. Not only is it meaningless, but living is equivalent to suffering sin and creating evil, life is worse than death, and suicidal ideation is often carried out, and suicide measures are carried out.

As long as any of the above points are obvious or prominent, we have to think about the possibility of depression. Consult a psychiatric person if necessary.

COPD is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) characterized by incomplete reversible airflow limitation. Chronic obstructive pulmonary pulmonary airflow limitation is often progressively worsening and is associated with an abnormal inflammatory response to harmful particles or gases, primarily smoking. Although COPD directly affects the lungs, it can also cause significant systemic effects.

COPD is closely related to chronic bronchitis and emphysema. COPD should be considered in patients with cough, sputum production, or dyspnea and/or a history of exposure to disease risk factors. Chronic cough and sputum production often precede airflow limitation for many years, but not all patients with cough and sputum production symptoms develop COPD.

To confirm the diagnosis of COPD, pulmonary function tests are required.

In fact, all diseases are related to mentality, most of them have depression because they have no hope in life, and feel that their COPD is an "incurable disease", but in fact, COPD is well managed, and the impact on life during the stable period is still quite small, so we must systematically manage the disease, use symptomatic medicine, maintain a good attitude, pay attention to weather changes, and do lung function training appropriately.

The key to COPD** is to prevent it, because each time** it will lead to worsening of symptoms, worsening lung function, and even death. It is recommended that patients pay attention to improving their own immunity, avoid, especially to prevent colds, and avoid bronchitis and other attacks. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, eat high-protein foods, suffer from COPD, according to the current symptoms are cough, wheezing, chest tightness, COPD patients should exercise appropriately in their daily life, eat a healthy diet, drink more water, **COPD disease TCM ** has the best effect, I hope that patients will recover their health as soon as possible.
