Maybe you never knew, maybe we didn’t pay attention, but depression, the highest risk factor for suicide, along with other psychiatric symptoms, accounts for 90% of all human suicidal behavior.
Everyone feels sadness and loss once in a while, but if “emptiness” and “disappointment” have taken over your life for a long time. Please note that you may already be “depressed”. Depression makes your life unable to function as usual, unable to enjoy every part of the happiness that life brings you. But remember that no matter how severe depression is, it can be improved with scientific regulation and treatment, and sunshine will return to your life. Early warning and treatment are crucial to the prognosis.
If you and those around you have the following symptoms that do not subside on their own, please seek help from a psychiatrist quickly.
1. Feeling helpless and hopeless. Feeling that the future is bleak and efforts can no longer make you better.
2.Loss of interest in daily life. Previous hobbies, good times, social activities and close loved ones do not bring you the happiness you deserve.
3.Change in appetite and weight. Gain or lose 5% of your body weight within a month.
4, sleep changes. Insomnia or excessive sleep.
5.Loss of energy and depression. Self-perception of fatigue, lethargy, heavy body, even small things can make you feel exhausted.
6, anxious and irritable or even violent. Patience and tolerance are reduced.
7.Self-resentment and self-loathing, with a strong sense of self-blame and guilt.
8.Rash and bold. Self-avoidance, alcoholism, smoking and drug abuse, gambling or dangerous driving.
9.Forgotten and inattentive.
10.Unexplained headache, back pain.
However, when depression is undiagnosed and untreated and worsens, patients are often suicidal. The following symptoms can be considered a precursor warning of suicide.
1, often talk or think about death.
2.Sadness, disappointment, loss of appetite, tiredness and depression.
3, become fond of risky things, often to their own life safety disregard.
4.Like to drive fast, deliberately run red lights.
5.Often make comments with helplessness, disappointment, and uninteresting emotions.
6.Begin to do personal things regularly, complete their unfinished business, and begin to imply their will to people around them.
7.Saying some self-hatred words, such as “things could have gone better without me”, “I would have liked to leave”.
8.Suddenly the mood changes from sad to calm or joyful.
9.Talking about suicide related topics.
10.Visiting an old friend or calling to say goodbye.
If you find any of the above, do not take it lightly, you should quickly inform your family to seek help from a psychologist or psychiatrist and give it a high degree of attention.
