If a person is smiling at you, what kind of person do you think he or she is?
I believe that almost all people who see this question will unanimously answer, “Optimistic and positive.” But I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint everyone today.
I bet that many people have never heard of such a disease. He was strong on the surface and always showed an optimistic and cheerful appearance in front of outsiders. The smile that flows from his face can make many people feel warm and positive. But how it really is, in fact, only they themselves know.
Depression is a common psychological disorder, known as the “first psychological killer”. People have the impression that depressed patients are always depressed, downhearted, unresponsive and slow in thinking. But few people associate smiling with them.
However, there are indeed some people who have a veil of depression behind their beautiful smiles. Some people due to professional needs or other reasons, the real feelings of anger, anxiety, depression and other hidden, always show a smile. But this “smile” is not from the heart of the real feelings.
But this “smile” is not the true feelings from the heart, but in response to social interaction, to cope with work, to save face and make a smile against their will, over time will form a kind of “emotional disharmony” trauma in the human heart, and even develop into depression.
Psychologists call this phenomenon “smile depression”.
These “smile depression” patients often fall into a deeper loneliness, isolation and extreme depression after smiling, which is caused by the excessive pressure that modern people cannot relieve due to work or other reasons. The patient’s family and friends should understand the relevant medical knowledge, not to be confused by their superficial “smile”, and help them to get active and reasonable treatment as soon as possible to avoid irreparable damage.
So, for this kind of depression patients themselves, how to relieve and treat it?
1.Physical exercise
If a person can adhere to the daily exercise for half an hour, then even if they suffer from depression, it will soon be alleviated. Because exercise can give people a sense of relaxation and autonomy; physical activity can effectively clear emotional stress, and physical health can guide the human nervous system to a better direction.
2.Read books
Reading books can make the mind calm, ambitious, is a wonderful remedy against depression. It is also a good way to take a few minutes to read a book when you have free time at work.
3, the mind to decompress
To learn to transcend, learn to enjoy themselves, let their own smile from the heart, such as the spring breeze rain, in warming the hearts of others at the same time to bring themselves a bright world. When the work encountered things that do not go well, do not magnify the pain, not to mention the bull’s-eye. For some “villain” behavior, you can use the spirit of victory in the psychological “defiance” of them, to overcome the self, so as to forget the unpleasant.
4.Listen to music
Music therapy, it is appropriate to excitement, passionate transition to active, cheerful music, supplemented by soft, beautiful music; if the depression caused by insomnia symptoms are serious, it should be a smooth, soft hypnotic music is the main.
5, eat happy food
Diet, you can eat more cereals, vegetables and fruits. Among them, bananas, beans are called “happy food”, can eat more. Before going to bed, take a warm bath, drink a cup of hot milk, but also help sleep and relieve emotions.
In fact, no matter which method, the key lies in the patient himself, should pay more attention to rest, more contact with friends, more chat, open up the state of mind. People who live in closed high-rise buildings should often take a walk in the park, and go to the wilderness if they have the conditions. More contact with things in nature may make your mood more pleasant and your body can be relaxed to the maximum extent.
