Patient female 30 years old, six years ago from abroad to work in Shanghai, the appearance of beautiful and dignified, cheerful and generous personality, a strong sense of enterprise, confident in their own abilities, to Shanghai soon after a multinational company to be hired to do marketing work, due to hard work, strong communication skills, outstanding performance, higher income, to Shanghai soon also bought a house, life goes smoothly, although single but busy and full of work, a person’s life is also enjoyable! Although I was single, I was busy and full of work, and my life was full of flavor. As a result of excellent work performance, soon in a company competing for the position of sales director in the election success, to become the multinational company’s head of a sales department. But the new post did not bring her more sense of achievement, due to the way of work and the object of change, the staff under the mixed ability, frequent personnel transfers, even if the wholeheartedly into the work, the sales performance is always on the not go, she felt a lot of pressure, every day, always feel that a lot of problems need to be dealt with, there is an endless thing to do. Gradually she felt that her work and life began to become wrong, often have nightmares in her sleep, and in severe cases, insomnia would occur, due to poor rest, affecting the patient’s work the next day, her memory began to decline, her concentration could not be focused, her mood became unstable, and her temper was not as good as it used to be. Patients sometimes also feel that they may be working too hard, a weekend to relax, but the patient can not relax, a lazy sleep, there is a lingering sense of guilt, always feel that there are still a lot of things on hand is not completed, frustrated as if lost. In addition to poor sleep, the patient also appeared many physical symptoms, such as dizziness, fatigue, neck and waist often sore, no appetite, and often feel stomach pain for no reason, many times to the hospital to cover the stomach to do a checkup, did not find too big a problem. At the onset of the disease, she also felt chest tightness, easy to do a little bit of work, panic and shortness of breath, especially in closed environments such as carriages or conference rooms will feel breathless, and even have a strong sense of suffocation, the need to run outdoors in order to feel smooth breathing, due to a variety of physical symptoms, in the past six months, she often ran to the hospital to see a neurological, orthopedic, gastroenterological, cardiology, as well as obstetrics and gynecology and so on, to do a gastroscopy! Gastroscopy showed diffuse gastritis and electrocardiogram showed episodic premature beats. Gastritis and myocarditis were diagnosed and treated respectively, but the patient’s symptoms came and went after taking medication, and the symptoms could not be eliminated fundamentally, which made the patient feel deeply pained. Mao Jialiang, Department of Cardiology, Shanghai Renji Hospital When I saw this patient, I found that the patient’s face was as dark as her mood, and she appeared to be very haggard and anxious. Based on the appeal of these circumstances, I considered that these symptoms of the patient might be more likely to be caused by psychological disorders, and I gave her a test of the Psychological Disorders Scale, which showed that the patient had a mild state of anxiety and depression, and then I explained to her that her problems might be related to this. However, the patient thought that she had a cheerful personality, life is good, everything is still think well, it is unlikely that there will be psychological disorders, but she had to admit to my analysis is more in line with her condition, and finally agreed to try with the treatment of anxiety and depression, a month later the patient’s symptoms were significantly relieved, adhere to anti-anxiety and depression treatment for a year, the patient’s condition is stable, the disease did not recur. Due to the fast pace and high pressure of modern society, the resulting mental illness has become one of the major diseases affecting human health in the 21st century. However, in the face of such a new wave of diseases, human society is not fully prepared to meet this challenge, to the above patient, she experienced a tortuous and lengthy process of medical treatment, although her symptoms are caused by psychological disorders, but she has always believed that they are caused by physical illnesses, and she has repeatedly visited various departments in general hospitals in the hope that the doctors can find out the cause of her physical discomfort, and the doctors in general hospitals mostly lack knowledge of mental illnesses and are unable to identify them. Doctors in general hospitals lacked knowledge about mental illnesses and were unable to recognize them, and for quite some time they did not see that her illnesses were caused by psychological disorders, failing to realize and understand that psychological disorders can not only cause emotional discomfort, but can also cause many physical symptoms. Regrettably, this situation is still present every day, according to incomplete statistics, at present, about one-third of the patients in general hospitals whose symptoms are caused by psychological disorders, these patients are suffering from illnesses at times but do not know where the pain actually comes from, and they spend a lot of time and money in the hope of finding the causes to get rid of the pain, but the results often make them disappointed and helpless. For this reason, there is an urgent need to raise the attention of society and the medical profession to this problem, so that these patients can be identified and treated at an early stage and helped to get rid of their illnesses, regain their health, reintegrate into society and work better.
