Depression is like a cold, which must be treated in time

On October 10, the 20th World Mental Health Day, Xinjiang medical circles and major hospitals held free large-scale free medical activities to pass on knowledge and ideas of mental rehabilitation to patients and their families, so that patients can master new technologies and new therapies of mental rehabilitation, and help patients with mental disorders choose suitable rehabilitation treatment and training.

The theme of this year's mental health day is' shared responsibility for mental health '. In order to mobilize the whole society to pay attention to mental health problems, Xinjiang medical departments should cooperate, discuss countermeasures, share responsibilities, create a caring environment, and comprehensively realize the treatment and rescue, rehabilitation and service for patients.

On that day, in the people's Hospital of Xinjiang Autonomous Region, patients who came to consult formed a long line. Due to lack of mental health knowledge, public awareness of mental illness, recognition rate and treatment rate are low, resulting in higher recurrence rate, rehospitalization rate and disability rate of mental illness. At present, tens of thousands of mental patients are hospitalized in Xinjiang every year, and the incidence rate of depression among ordinary people is around 3-4%, as is the rest of the country.

Nowadays, patients with depression are still in low mood, but they still have no knowledge of all kinds of unexplained physical pain. Depression is not only a psychological factor, but also a physical factor. The number of people suffering from depression is increasing all over the world. In addition, although depression is a kind of psychological problem, it will produce a variety of physical symptoms, such as insomnia, hair loss, loss of appetite, loss of libido and so on.

Depression is like a cold, early diagnosis and early treatment will soon improve, in addition to strengthen prevention. Especially for those high-risk groups, they can use some methods to relieve pressure and keep exercising. In addition, they need family support.
