    Before <> say it, think about whether you want to say it to your parents.

    With more and more friends and colleagues suffering from depression and anxiety, most of them choose to see a psychiatrist rather than tell their parents. There are several reasons why I don't tell my parents: first, I feel sorry for my parents and don't want my parents to worry about it; Second, the parents do not have professional knowledge and do not help the condition; 3. Parents don't understand, which will cause more pressure on themselves; Fourth, some parents refuse to admit that it is a disease.

    Combined with a friend's case, choosing to see a psychiatrist is a must. Depression and anxiety are both psychological conditions that can have an impact on an individual's life, work, school, and interpersonal interactions. It is difficult for people with mild symptoms to notice, and everyone may think that it is just a momentary temper and no big deal.

    However, if this situation is not detected in time, it will lose its mind and act of self-harm or injury in serious cases. Now that you are aware of it, you must seek medical attention in time and treat you as a guest.

    If you have a good relationship with your parents, communication has been smooth, and they are more open-minded people. You can choose to show your parents directly the doctor's medical list and medical records and tell them that you have a psychological problem and are positive**. You may behave abnormally during the process, please forgive me.

    If you don't have a good relationship with your parents, you haven't had much communication for a long time, and they are conservative and don't think that emotional problems are a disease. I suggest you don't tell them, their incomprehension often increases your psychological burden and affects the best results.

    In fact, this is really difficult to say about the family, as if they have failed to cultivate. However, sometimes the various pressures of life really don't mean that you can get over it in the past, and you can't get over mental illness. I told my mother when my father was having an awkward time.

    It's easier for girls to communicate with their mothers. It can only be said that mothers are more aware of the pressure of their children.

    Fathers are more powerful as men, and sometimes they don't quite understand the pressure you are facing and the way to deal with it, and they don't know why you have depression and mental anxiety, so my advice is that if you have psychological problems, it is better to confess to your mother if you have psychological problems unless you have to confess to your family.

    It's also better to find an appropriate time, and give them a surprise if you don't say anything. Hello, what sleeping pills to take, antidepressant drugs, it also worries them. This kind of thing is a precursor to mental illness in the concept of ordinary people.

    However, mental illness is also a serious mental illness, and I personally think that it can be controlled, so I still try not to mention it to my family.

    Parents are the closest people in the world to us, nothing can cut off this blood relationship that is thicker than water, so there should be nothing between us and our parents should not be said, even if you don't want your parents to worry, but if you don't say it, in case something happens in the future, and your parents are still kept in the dark, this is the greatest cruelty to parents, besides, for your depression and anxiety you are sometimes uncontrollable, no one to help you out of the predicament.

    Confess to your parents, your state, your inner struggles, your pain, and you want to end your painful life.

    If you're ashamed to open your mouth to tell your parents about all this, what you're going through, what you're suffering in, you're wrong. You think that it is not easy for your parents to raise you, you should no longer add troubles to your parents, you believe that you should solve all the depression by yourself, and on the other side you hate you for this state of life, you will find that the atmosphere of sadness and darkness is still diffused in your life, and you can't get rid of it. Even in the sun, you still feel oppressed, even the sun seems to be enveloped.

    This is your true heart, you can't get out of it yourself, you have entered a state of extreme depression.

    You have to confess to your parents, because that's what you have to do, not only for yourself, but also for your parents, why do you say that, because there are a lot of examples in front of our eyes, that is, a lot of people with depression end up ending their fate, because they can't do it themselvesTake off. Have you ever thought that you are worthy of your parents? They will understand your situation.

    Tell your parents what you really think, and then face it together.

    For your parents and for yourself, the best medicine for depression or anxiety is for your parents to be there for you and give you love and help. It is not you who are on this road to overcome self-fear and depression and anxiety, and you have so much love and motivation that you will not be so afraid. Many people don't express depression to others, so depressed people are always lonely, and they are always alone under pressure and moving forward alone, which will inevitably produce a kind of despair that wants to end.

    Therefore, companionship is even more important.

    I don't know what kind of parents your parents are, whether to say it or not, it depends on what your parents are like, anyway, after I said it, the effect is not very good, and I am more depressed.

    When I got this disease, my mom who grew up with me was gone, so my mom didn't know about it. I couldn't take it anymore, so I went to my dad's house. I didn't dare to say that I was depressed, that is, I couldn't sleep all day long, and I was in a very bad mood.

    Then my dad looked anxious and good for me. In fact, I still feel very upset. Once I was very angry and said to me, what do you have to worry about, don't keep yourself serious.

    I feel very sorry for what I said. Because a depressed person should not be told by others, there is nothing to worry about, and there is nothing to think about. I want to know why I can't think about it so much, and I can't get sick.

    and her daughter-in-law, who is the kind of person who is exquisite and can do anything. She felt that I was too little to resist pressure and too negative, and told me every day to smile and learn from my brother's optimism. It is true that we tend to be negative and look too pessimistic about things, but depression is actually an imbalance of hormones secreted by the brain.

    It's really not something we can control. At most, it's about relieving your emotions through exercise. Slowly come out again.

    But if they look at us like that, they will feel even more incapacitated. I think that when we suffer from this disease, we are also too demanding of ourselves, so we can't meet our own requirements in anything, and then we become more and more lost.

    No one in this world really understands you, only you know yourself best, and through drugs and your own regulation, it will slowly pass.

    Thanks for having me. I rarely have problems with this platform anymore. But when I saw your question today, I felt that I still had to reply. I hope it can be of some support.

    1. First of all, you live in such an environment, which is indeed a great challenge for you. Just like being surrounded by the epidemic in some areas at present, the pressure faced can be imagined. Because every aspect will be affected.

    So, what about you, as if you are in an epidemic area, will you be infected by Yuanfu rent? It depends on your sense of self-protection and ability. At the very least, in terms of emotions, you may want to improve your immunity to negative emotions and not be bothered by bad emotions.

    Being emotionally sensitive is not a bad thing, the key is where to use this trait. I want you to be able to use it to take care of your emotions. It's about being sensitive and stop losses in time when you're affected by negative emotions.

    2. For drugs**, it is necessary to follow the guidance of a psychiatrist. The importance of psychological ** should be raised. I'm talking about psychology, not guidance.

    I don't understand the so-called psychological guidance, so I can't talk about it, but I think that psychological ** is really important. Psychology ** is the light in the darkness, and it is the hope of the orange. As for the ** question, I think mental construction can take quite a long process.

    And not the so-called once and for all. If you are hungry at noon, you will eat first and then talk about it, and as for what to do if you are hungry at night, you will eat again in the evening.

    3. Impact on children. Although I do not agree with the idea that a child is a copy of his or her parents, I believe in the influence of the family environment on the child. If the child is a seed, the composition of the soil is very important. If there are a lot of harmful components in the soil, how will the seeds develop?

    In short, it is recommended that you receive some necessary learning and training to boost your own immunity and create the best possible environment for your child.

    When a child is depressed, it is not only the child who suffers, but also the parents' hearts, so what should parents do in the face of their children's depression, anxiety and even suicide?

    Learn to accept your child and give him plenty of love.

    Children are the epitome of their parents, what kind of people they are with, what kind of life they will have, and in the same way, children raised by wise parents are more likely to deal with some problems. Learning to accept means that parents should learn to really understand their children, from some of the child's external performance, to the inner understanding of what the child's needs are for doing this, whether they want to attract attention, or want to increase their parents' company for him, etc.

    Let go of the utilitarian desire to compare with other parents.

    Most of the depression of many children who go to school is actually because of learning, especially after every time the child's test results come out, it is not the child who is excited, but the parents, especially on the weekend, if parents meet each other, the topic of discussion is never inseparable from learning, and it is also inseparable from "other people's children", when it comes to their own children, parents only have suppressed words.

    Long-term mental suppression will give children the illusion that they are not doing well, children will self-deny, slowly doubt the meaning of their own survival, and eventually fall into a dead cycle of depression, therefore, parents should learn to encourage children, give children more positive reinforcement and encouragement, children will have goals and motivation will have more information to continue learning.

    Parents need to learn to listen to their children's ideas.

    Mom and dad should listen to their children's voices and understand their children; Together, we should also talk to the children so that they can understand the good intentions of their parents. If you are a negative parent who often shocks your children, an ambitious parent who has too high expectations for your child, etc., you must start learning and changing yourself, and don't form too high a psychological burden on your child.

    In short, parents are the child's sense of security base, the source of self-confidence, only parents can fully understand the importance of depression and anxiety, children will have the confidence to overcome depression and anxiety!
