The treatments for depression are medication, psychotherapy and twitch therapy. Among them, medication is used throughout the treatment of depression course, and the effect is sure. However, many patients in the process of taking antidepressant drugs, did not pay attention to the contraindications of medication, resulting in recurrent relapse of depressive symptoms, affecting health. 1, the eagerness to be cured The patient is understandably sick and wants to be cured as soon as possible. But, as the saying goes, “sickness comes like a mountain, sickness goes like a silk”, indicating that the occurrence and return of disease has its natural laws, there has to be a time process, can not be anxious. Besides, it takes time for drugs to take effect. Generally speaking, the commonly used antidepressants into the body, the onset of action generally takes about two weeks, some patients need three weeks or even longer. Therefore, the treatment of depression to have patience, in a short period of time, frequent change of doctors, change of drugs is not a good strategy. In fact, in order to get well, it is very important to use the full dose of drugs. The reason is the same as eating, a person’s meal to 150 grams to eat full, if only eat 100 grams, then it seems not hungry, but in fact not full, because it did not reach the “required amount”, soon hungry again. In the long run, this will affect the development and health. This is the case with eating, and the same with treating illnesses. 3, maintenance time is not enough Most of the disease after treatment, after the condition has improved need to maintain treatment. But many patients are not clear how long they need to take the drug after recovery, or lack of patience, after taking a period of time to stop taking the drug. All these make the maintenance treatment time insufficient and lead to recurrence of the disease. Therefore, maintenance therapy is very important to prevent recurrence of the disease. As for the duration of maintenance treatment, each patient’s condition is different and the duration of drug maintenance is also different. Therefore, patients should adhere to the maintenance treatment under the guidance of their doctors. In fact, not 100% of the side effects listed in the drug instructions will occur in every patient after using the drug. The situation is like “be careful of being hit by a car when crossing the road”. Do you want to stop crossing the road in case you get hit by a car? I’m afraid no one would do that. One depressed patient refused medication for fear of side effects, and finally committed suicide, which the family regretted too much! You have to listen to your doctor when diagnosing a disease, and you have to listen to your doctor when taking medication. It is not worthwhile to refuse to take medication just in case, as a result of which recovery is affected, or even aggravated and life threatening.
