Society's rapid development brings people increasing pressure, and some people often appear to be in a melancholy state. Is this a psychological illness? In this article, the author will give a detailed introduction to the symptoms that may occur after the recurrence of psychological illnesses and self-regulation methods!
What are the symptoms of psychological illnesses?
1. Emotional changes.
Regardless of the type of psychological illness, the patient's psychological defense mechanism becomes very strong after its recurrence. Therefore, we can feel the various emotional changes of the patients. They may become silent and sad, or suddenly become lively and cheerful, which should be noticed.
2. Feeling anxious.
Actually, after the occurrence of any psychological illness, patients will feel anxious for no reason. Even if many people try to comfort them at this time, we can see that it has little effect. Therefore, when this symptom reappears, it is recommended to provide psychological counseling for them as soon as possible.
3. Changes in daily routines.
This symptom is also quite obvious, and everyone should pay attention to it and make appropriate adjustments. Changes in daily routines may be a common problem for many modern people, but for patients with psychological illnesses, they may become relatively sleepy or experience insomnia throughout the night.
What are the symptoms of psychological illnesses? After any of the above symptoms appear, family members should pay attention to them in a timely manner. At this time, they should not attempt to change their current state with a tough attitude, as this behavior will only lead to more serious consequences. For patients with psychological illnesses, their lives are more painful than ours, so in this regard, it is recommended that we learn to accept and gradually change.
5 types of typical psychological illnesses!
1. Neurosis:
Friends lack communication with their inner selves and live very self-centered lives. They often live under various shadows of fear and lack a sense of security, yet they also pursue security, causing their mind and body to be unable to relax. It is a functional disorder with full self-awareness.
2. Hypochondria, neurasthenia, phobias (such as fear of cancer, fear of AIDS):
Excessive self-attention, sensitivity, personality foundation, living environment, incidental events, and cognitive bias are combined factors leading to these illnesses.
3. Anxiety disorders:
Friends suppress their aggression, shrink back, and evade responsibility, unwilling to take on the mistakes and responsibilities that come with an active life. They fear death and cannot control their lives. While accepting responsibility, they also give up all their ways of venting, ultimately turning their aggression towards themselves. It is a combination of personality and life factors. We should live in the real world and learn to be content.
4. Social anxiety disorder:
The combined factors of lack of self-confidence, high demands, and distorted understanding of the objective world result in this disorder. In some cases, there may be some direct inducements, excessive self-attention, and pursuit of an ideal interpersonal relationship.
4. Schizophrenia:
Every external event experienced by the patient is a projection of inner shadows. The patient's mental behavior forcibly expresses the neglected shadows in life in the most extreme way, suppressing their emotional expression to the point of sudden eruption, resulting in mental disorders. The causes of schizophrenia are various, with suggestions of genetic factors and life experiences, but the medical community does not have a unified view.
Schizophrenia has four common types: juvenile, paranoid, tension, and simple. The main characteristic is a loss of self-awareness, and the main treatment method is long-term medication.
5. Depression:
It is a clear and persistent mood disorder, and there are many different explanations for its causes, such as various events in life, genetic traits, physiological changes in the brain, childhood psychological trauma, and long-term accumulation of negative emotions.
How to self-regulate?
1. Learn to self-comfort in daily life.
When we find ourselves feeling anxious, we can silently tell ourselves not to be nervous, that we are well-prepared and capable of handling it, and that it is not a big deal. In addition, doing other things as a distraction can greatly relieve the feeling of anxiety.
2. Face your anxiety.
Many people feel anxious because they lack self-confidence and believe that they are not strong enough. In fact, this is not a big deal. We should have a little confidence in ourselves and tell ourselves from the bottom of our hearts that we can do it. Just do things in order and do not let the feeling of anxiety affect us.
3. Engage in other activities.
When we feel anxious, we can do other things and not keep thinking about the cause of anxiety. After the feeling of anxiety disappears, we can come back and deal with it. This will make it much better, and we will feel that it is not as serious as we thought. The next time we face it, we will not be as anxious.
