Typical characteristics of depression in young people

It is well known that depression is a very serious mental illness. Until now, it remains a key research challenge for the medical community. And with the development of society in recent years, it seems that this disease has started to have a trend of rejuvenation …… According to the relevant authoritative data, in recent years the number of people suffering from depression in China has been rising year by year, and the patients are generally young people. These young depressed patients generally have typical symptoms such as depressed state of mind, lack of pleasure, loss of appetite, increase in appetite, increase in body mass, decrease in body mass, insomnia, excessive sleep, psychomotor retardation, lack of self-confidence, slow thinking, lack of concentration, difficulty in making decisions, suicidal tendencies, etc. With the rapid development of society, the pressure of competition between people is also increasing. College students who have just graduated and joined the workforce, post-90s young people who have been in society for two or three years, and even young children in school all seem to be carrying an invisible and enormous pressure. More than 20 extracurricular classes a week, working more than 10 hours a day, early in the morning and late at night, this seemingly hard work, but in fact “vicious competition, excessive internal volume” phenomenon can be seen in all age groups. However, over time, this vicious cycle not only makes our physical health abnormal, but also makes our psychological problems. And the dreaded depression comes along with it. Where there is society, there must be people, and where there are people, there must be competition. This competition itself is meant to make us better, but today it seems to be full of involution and cruelty. It is not a good idea to sap our will, distort our minds, and endanger our health. …… People with depression deserve the attention of society as a whole, and more importantly, the root cause of depression. It is most important to change the root cause and to seek medical attention when you feel the typical symptoms of depression to avoid greater harm. References: [1] Liu, Dan. Depression [J].
