Under the stock market plunge, how many people’s dreams of getting rich are shattered, but also a lot of debt. “Down and down” stock market so that ordinary people are also experiencing a large-scale global financial crisis, some people have been difficult to withstand the enormous psychological pressure, from the United States to Hong Kong to the mainland, are from time to time out of the people lightly or even kill the whole family after the tragedy of suicide. The stock market problem is not only an economic problem, but also a social mental health problem. The World Health Organization recently issued a warning that the global financial crisis may lead to increased mental health problems.
Most suicides have depression
”These people are mostly young and middle-aged men who speculate in stocks and make investments, and as a result, most of their money is lost and evaporated within a short period of time, and physical reactions such as anxiety and insomnia keep appearing.
Those who can come to the hospital to seek professional help are usually not too serious psychological problems, but more worrying are those who have a sense of desperation to survive and think that going to the doctor will not help them.
When the financial turmoil hits, some people become unemployed, poor or even destitute overnight, which is called “stress reaction” in psychology. This loss of wealth like evaporation will make them suffer a huge psychological impact, which will make people feel a sense of lack of control over the outside world and a serious decline in security. They will have a sense of professional loss, a sense of existential crisis. Especially some people who have made a lot of money in the first two years of the psychological gap is greater, as from heaven to hell all of a sudden. When there is a sense of survival despair, some people eventually choose suicide as a way of relief.
There is another kind of calm “suicide”
In addition to their own depression and anxiety, people are prone to suicide, there is a part of the easy choice of light life, they really face serious real problems, after thinking calmly that there is no other better solution, there is only one way to die. For example, a few days ago, a young woman in Futian District, Shenzhen, due to stock speculation loan sharks, looking for compensation to no avail, the result climbed the company building to light. The huge amount of money owed, especially the loan sharks, this predicament is far more serious than losing all their money, if you die, you owe money to the matter can end here.
These people often decide to die before they calmly take care of things one by one before they die. For example, give away their precious things, visit or call to say goodbye; set things in order, suddenly change plans, etc.. Their suicidal thoughts are buried in their hearts, and it is difficult to see the dangerous messages on the surface. Therefore, it is recommended that friends and relatives around this “calm suicidal hand” should be extra vigilant, more communication with them, to seize all information, to prevent tragedies.
Do not enter the market in a bad state of mind
”Down and out” stock market has become the heart of the stockholders, including their families. They are under tremendous psychological pressure: their pension money is gone, the money for children to buy a house is gone, the money for family medical care is gone …… heart can not think for a while, the tragedy also happened.
This crisis once again warned people “investment has risks, enter the market need to be cautious”. The financial market can make money to earn millions, but also to lose money to lose everything, the key to rational investment, moderate investment, rather than blindly follow the trend. At the same time, the cultivation of good psychological quality is also extremely important. Stocks up and down, some investors on the rise of the stock market is very happy, the stock market is down is painful, this psychological ups and downs are always stimulating them, if long-term life in this psychological state, it is easy to lead to a mental breakdown, and will produce a serious psychological crisis.
College stockholders are more vulnerable
In this financial crisis, college stockholders are also affected. South China Normal University, College of Economics and Management of the senior A K, early last year in the securities company to open an account of 3,000 yuan to speculate in stocks. At the beginning is not bad, earned some small money, but from August, the stock market has taken a sharp turn, the original stock market value of nearly 10,000 yuan, now only 1000 yuan, a typical loss of capital. Xiao He invested in the stock market money is mainly their own pocket money, dare not say with their parents, let alone find them again to ask for money. In order to recover the loss, he asked about part-time job opportunities all day long, distracted in class, almost nothing to listen to.
South China Normal University counseling center director Li Jiangxue introduced, college speculation group, financial and economic students are more active, and can be linked to the knowledge learned, between students, and even between teachers and students may influence each other to exchange quotes. However, compared with ordinary stockholders, college students have to take a variety of risks in stock speculation. Students are young, lack of social experience, most of them begin to hold the idea of speculation, “overnight riches”, easy to gullibility and blind obedience, this kind of investment situation is the stock market in the big taboo. Moreover, students are not yet economically independent, no stable economic resources, investment in the stock market is often prone to debt problems.
Li Jiangxue said, study is the first priority of students, do not advocate students to enter the high-risk market. If you are a student of economics and finance, you can have good psychological quality, and have some money left over in the case of some appropriate investment, as a warm-up before participating in the work, but never get caught up.
