Is it urgent to pay attention to the mental health of college students?

  The outstanding college student class president suffers from depression and faces suspension after failing three final exams The number of college student psychiatric patients has increased, and it is urgent to pay attention to college student mental health May 25 is the National College Student Mental Health Day. The harmonics of “525” means “I love me”, reminding college students to “cherish life and care for themselves”. According to the survey, among the psychological patients seen in hospitals, the number of patients from college students is increasing day by day. It is urgent to pay attention to the mental health of college students.  ”After a detailed interview and psychological assessment, he was initially diagnosed with depression, and I recommended that he be temporarily suspended from school for inpatient treatment due to obvious inhibition of volitional behavior and self-abandonment.”  Wu Zhengyin, a clinical psychotherapist at Suzhou Guangji Hospital, told reporters that when he was communicating with the school, Xiaodong’s class teacher said “too bad” several times. According to the class teacher, Xiaodong after enrolling in college, the top grades in the class, and actively participate in various cultural and sports activities in school, but also served as class president. But from last semester, he suddenly resigned from the class president’s job, more and more absenteeism, the final exam results fell, three failures, one missing exams. After the start of this semester, it is a long time hiding in the dormitory rarely go out, so that people are worried about him.  Wu Zhengyin told reporters that in the treatment of communication, Xiaodong had told him that his family is very poor, and his looks are very ordinary. In order to be “looked up to”, he has been studying hard since he was a child, and his excellent grades have kept him at the top of the school, praised by teachers and classmates. But after he arrived at university, he found that his grades seemed to have less and less weight in the eyes of everyone. Instead, family conditions and the power of his parents were the focus of everyone’s attention.  ”He wanted to be the class president because he wanted to contribute more to the class and show his value, and he also wanted to exercise his social skills. But after doing this job, he felt more and more ‘incompetent’. Students would casually ‘skip’ classes, stay out all night, and ignore his kind words and advice. He organized few class activities, and the class president of the class next door threw money at the class, chartering a car and taking the class on a group trip, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.  He had a girlfriend in his sophomore year, but for some reason she soon broke up with him, and now he doesn’t even know “what he did wrong. After his junior year, the topic of employment was brought up more and more among his classmates, and the most talked about was who’s parents had what connections and contacts. This made Xiaodong extremely distressed but had nowhere to talk about it, and his frustration accumulated over time, finally overwhelming him.  It is understood that Xiaodong’s case is a microcosm of the psychological problems of college students. In recent years, the number of college students suspending and dropping out of school due to psychological problems has been increasing, and some abnormal or malignant events such as suicide and crime have been in the press from time to time, and the psychological education of college students has constantly become the focus of attention. There are few heartbreaking examples: Liu Hai’s sulfuric acid bear injury case, Magaju’s murder and corpse hiding case, Yao Jiaxin’s “eight knife door”, Fudan University poisoning case …… Wu Zhengyin told reporters that in recent years, in their psychological treatment work, the number of patients from the college student group is also increasing. The number of patients is also increasing day by day.  ”Good, are in college, what else to think unknown, can not be solved, must be dealt with through these extreme ways?” People are perplexed: why can’t college students with a bright future withstand a small setback?  Wu Zhengyin said that according to the relevant research, the reasons for the psychological problems of college students are complex and multifaceted. The current society is in the era of transition between old and new systems and old and new ideas. Contemporary college students are mostly only children, and they face great pressure from various aspects. In the face of pressure, some more vulnerable students are prone to panic, anxiety and other negative emotions, and some are pessimistic and depressed. Specifically, the following: 1, study and life pressure, 2, emotional confusion and crisis, 3, social difficulties caused by psychological frustration.  College students should face the problems frankly and learn to communicate and share with others College students’ psychological problems can be roughly divided into two categories: one is the general growth psychological problems, psychological disorder tendency but not serious, which is the main problem of college students’ psychological existence; the other is the emergence of psychological disorders and psychological diseases of varying degrees.  Happily, the psychological counseling work of college students is getting more and more attention, most of the colleges and universities have set up mental health education institutions for college students, and the psychological counseling centers of some colleges and universities have reached a considerable scale and level. They have carried out many activities such as psychological salons and psychological exchanges to promote the necessity of college students’ mental health, and a group of professional mental health education and counseling teams are gradually growing. At the same time, college students themselves have realized the importance of mental health, for example, the “5.25” College Student Mental Health Festival was born under this background.  According to the viewpoint of psychology, the root cause of all kinds of psychological problems among college students is the lack of healthy self-awareness and incomplete self-identity. In order to prevent and correct psychological deviations, the top priority is how to correctly understand oneself, cultivate the attitude of pleasing oneself, build on one’s strengths and avoid one’s weaknesses, and constantly improve oneself, so as to improve the ability to bear setbacks.  In fact, we all have such and such confusion and contradictions inside, and facing these problems at the university level is an excellent opportunity to exercise in the future when we step into society. Whether to hide or face it openly, the different attitudes will bring different results. The result of hiding is that the general confusion will turn into psychological problems or mental illnesses, leading to serious psychological disorders. If you are open and share your problems with others, you can have a good interpersonal communication experience and also help to solve the problem. If the problem still cannot be solved or temporarily cannot be shared with others, you should seek timely communication with a counseling professional.
