In clinical practice, manic and depressive episodes are referred to as affective disorders. Whenever I see these clients, I usually ask them: What happened to make you this way? They usually tell me some interesting reasons. In the case of Ming I mentioned earlier, he was usually a very introverted child. His parents had taught him since he was a child not to cause trouble, to be obedient and to be tolerant, so after he entered the technical school and lived independently, he was always tolerating and tolerating again, he kept suppressing himself, but his heart told him that he was also a man, and he was resentful to let people bully him like this, and he was looking for an opportunity to explode. Finally one day he exploded, but people took him for a mental illness. There was also a 28-year-old boy named Jon, who had been diagnosed with depressive mania for 10 years at the time of the visit. When I asked him about that, he was bawling before he could say anything. He said that for more than 10 years, he had never been a useless person in his mother’s eyes. He constantly tried to prove to his mother that he was useful and capable, but when he did well, his mother would always say, “Don’t be proud, pride makes people regress; when he didn’t do well enough, his mother would repeatedly mock him, taking some things from the past to prove that he was wrong or bad. He said that for more than 10 years, he had been fighting with his mother, but she kept proving herself right and wise, and her son useless and small. This made him feel desperate, feel defeated, and feel useless. So he went outside to do something out of the ordinary: you say I am bad, I will be bad to you. In order to get back at his mother. Mania and depression are just a symptom. There must be a deeper motive behind the symptom. Some people are unable to express their true thoughts normally or they can’t be heard by others, so they express their emotions in another way. The symptom is not the problem, the problem is the motivation behind it. Look beyond the phenomenon to the essence. It is not enough to treat the symptoms clinically, but also to treat the cause, the heart needs medicine to cure the heart. As long as the inner part is dealt with, the symptoms will be reduced or eliminated.
