I seem to have depression, please ask the expert to help me with some counseling methods, thank you!

First of all, don't label yourself as depressed.

Secondly, if you feel that you have a depressed mood (depression, anxiety, etc., are emotions that everyone has, and if you develop a "symptom", you need to be strictly diagnosed). Here are a few things you can try: 1. Ask for help when you need it, don't suffer it silently.

2. Do something step by step, and we must emphasize doing it - pay effective action.

3. Divide the big things into small pieces and do only one thing at a time.

4. Participate in more beneficial activities.

5. When you feel depressed, pay attention to your thoughts and concepts.

6. Try to identify typical depressive beliefs (e.g., total or no thinking, compromising positive aspects of your life), paying particular attention to the way you evaluate yourself and identify yourself. You have to beware of internal tormentors, because it can only sink you in, but it will not help you get out of depression.

7. Write down your concept so that you can better clarify it.

8. Take care to identify the themes of your depression (e.g., approval-seeking, shame, unhappy relationships, unrealistic ideals, perfectionism) and challenge them when you find them.

9. Use rational and compassionate thinking to challenge your own ideas, the more you empathize with yourself and let go of ideas such as being bad and worthless, the more likely you are to recover from the disease.

10. Challenge negative ideas and establish new behavior patterns. Be mentally prepared for setbacks and failures.

Finally, keep in mind that:

Depression is a state of mind that you are in, but depression is not who you are.

Anxiety is a state of mind that you live in, but anxiety is not who you are.

Anger is a state of mind you're in, but anger isn't who you are.

These states of mind are closely related to millions of years of psychological evolution and are part of human nature. The self-judgment triggered by your emotions is as unreliable as the state of the weather. The more you empathize with yourself, the less you will become yourself"Friends who are uncertain"。

If you can be your true friend, even if you're still depressed, you're still taking a big step forward. You're now on your way to your goal. If self-regulation does not work or the effect is not obvious, please seek help from a psychologist as soon as possible.

What are the clinical manifestations of depressive neurosis?

1) Mood changes: The most prominent symptom of the patient is persistent depressed mood, which is manifested by a gloomy expression, listlessness, sleepiness, easy tearing and crying. People often use words such as "depressed", "desolate", "dull", "empty", "lonely", and "as if separated by a wall" to describe their mood.

Patients often feel depressed, depressed, and often lose their temper over trivial matters. For a long period of time, the mood is depressed most of the time, even if the mood improves for a few days or 1 or 2 weeks, but soon falls back into depression. Despite this, the level of depression is generally not severe, and the emotional response is still present, and a few humorous and mocking aphorisms can make them burst into laughter.

A light-hearted conversation can make a temporary improvement in one's mood. Patients themselves may be aware of their own emotional abnormalities, but often blame them on others or the environment.

2) Cognitive changes: patients lack interest in daily activities, do not experience pleasure in various entertainment or pleasant things, and often have low self-esteem, self-blame, and guilt. I often feel that my brain is slow to react and I have difficulty thinking about problems.

I always think about the bad in trouble, lose confidence in life, think that the future is bleak and hopeless, feel that life is meaningless, and even attempt suicide.

3) Changes in volitional and behavioral: Patients have reduced volitional activity, difficulty concentrating on work, and although they may have lofty ideals and aspirations, they rarely do it in a down-to-earth manner. They want to participate in socializing, but they lack the courage and confidence to socialize.

Patients are passive and overly dependent, and the psychological crux is their unwillingness to take responsibility. Generally speaking, depressive neurosis rarely suicidal, but there are also some patients who feel empty and bored in life and claim to want to die.

4) Somatic symptoms: In about 80% of cases, somatic symptoms such as insomnia, headache, body pain, dizziness, dizziness, and tinnitus are the main symptoms that seek help from doctors. These symptoms tend to give the body a multi-complaining and volatile feeling, and some symptoms can persist for a long time without significant exacerbation or relief.

Most of these symptoms disappear with the resolution of depression.

Depression**.

Because depression is affected by psychological factors, and the chemicals in the patient's body may also change, medical combined with psychological is often the best solution for depression.

a) Antidepressant medications**.

Antidepressants** can reduce depressive symptoms in most patients and can prevent them**, but if depressive episodes are not very frequent, most people do not need to take the medication every day, only need to take the medication when they are depressed, and continue to take the medication for 6 months to 1 year after the depression has resolved.

Antidepressants don't reduce depression right away, and it takes some time for them to work. The first few days are likely to improve sleep and have a soothing effect, and sometimes there will be adverse effects such as tiredness and weakness. After taking the drug for 1 to 2 weeks, alertness and energy will increase, and the maximum effect may not appear until about 8 weeks after taking the drug.

So, don't expect immediate results after taking the medication.

b) Psychological**.

There are many psychological approaches to depression. Here are three of the effective methods.

1. Cognition** People with depression often feel that they have little hope, they blame themselves when something bad happens, and when something good happens, they think it's just because they're lucky. In addition, people with depression often believe that things will not get better. The purpose of cognition is to help them identify their negative ways of thinking, to help them think in a more positive and beneficial way, to make them feel that they are in control of what is happening, to learn to fight back more effectively against failure, and to recognize and believe that good things will happen in their lives.

2. Behavior** People with depression often don't want to move, they can sit there for hours, thinking about their predicament, and thus lose many good opportunities. Behavior** aims to identify and change behaviors that cause or perpetuate depression. Behaviour change can be done by creating activity plans, problem solving, goal planning, and social skills training.

3. Interpersonal** This method is designed to help patients solve some interpersonal problems, because the occurrence or persistence of depression may be caused by these problems. Therefore, the goal of interpersonal relations is to alleviate the patient's long-lasting grief response to the loss of a loved one, to cope with maladjustment (e.g., parenting, divorce), or to help resolve interpersonal conflict.

Depression must find a good doctor, what is a good doctor, is this doctor, he will not easily draw conclusions for you, this doctor will talk to you for a long time, the doctor can understand your situation, and the doctor can put yourself in your shoes, think about your condition, give you some appropriate medication, and encourage you to go beyond some medications.

I found that psychological (spiritual) problems do not arise out of thin air, they are caused by the instinct of the brain, as long as the conditions are available, they will occur naturally, and they are the result of the synthesis of internal and external factors, in fact, for each person, this is the inevitable result of the interaction of various situations at that time, human beings must have an instinctive consciousness of distress in order to survive and evolve, this instinctive consciousness makes people's brains have emotional feelings of worry, fear, and fear, and all kinds of neuroses are different aspects of this strong emotional feeling, and the essence is the same, which is caused by temporary brain activity tension, My experience is that it may be better not to take medicine for mental illness, because human beings cannot fight against their own evolutionary instincts, and they can only suffer from themselves, nature has created people, not to enjoy pain, this is by no means the law of nature, the world should be balanced, there are as many days as there are nights, and everyone should have as much happiness as there is pain. The human brain must be able to slowly repair their own injuries, persistence is victory, sometimes the pain is caused by their ignorance, few people know that depression has special significance for people, and any quantitative change will cause qualitative change, the end of depression is a higher level of happiness, is to see all the generosity, after the baptism of depression makes us have stronger immunity, resist any psychological problems,
