Four seas network: now people's life rhythm is more and more fast, work pressure is also more and more big, the incidence of depression is also increasing year by year, many friends after a long time of depression is very easy to get depression, for depression should be found early to do treatment, so how to suppress depression early should be judged? Let's take a look at it together!
At present, depression is getting more and more attention because of its increasing incidence. At the same time, the high recurrence rate of depression makes the treatment process tortuous or frustrating. The unknown pathogenesis of depression makes you feel confused and uneasy about the treatment, so what is the bottom of depression? Many patients don't understand, feel outpatient treatment, the doctor asked some questions, but Later, I told myself that I had depression and needed to take medicine. I feel that I can't bear it all of a sudden: is the doctor too hasty? How can I see a doctor like this? Don't I need to have a test?
This is the definition of depression in ICD-10, a common disease diagnosis standard used by clinical doctors
1. Core symptoms (main symptoms):
1) low mood,
2) loss of interest and pleasure,
3) increase the sense of tiredness and decrease the energy of activity.
2. Additional symptoms (relatively minor important symptoms):
1) the ability to concentrate and pay attention is reduced;
2) lower self-evaluation and self-confidence;
3) self guilt and sense of worthlessness (even in mild attack);
4) think the future is bleak and pessimistic;
5) the concept or behavior of self injury or suicide;
6) sleep disorders;
7) loss of appetite.
Judgment criteria of mild depression: including at least two core symptoms, at least two additional symptoms, all of which should not be severe. The whole episode lasts for at least two weeks. Patients with mild depression usually suffer from symptoms, so it is difficult to continue daily work and social activities.
Criteria for moderate depression: at least two core symptoms, plus at least four additional symptoms, the whole episode lasted at least 2 weeks.
Criteria for severe depression: all core symptoms are met, plus at least four additional symptoms, some of which should be severe. Severe depressive attack patients often show obvious pain or agitation, such as the prominent characteristics of hysteresis, the above performance may not be obvious. Loss of self-esteem, sense of uselessness and self guilt can be very prominent. In very serious cases, suicide is an obvious risk. A diagnosis can also be made if it lasts less than two weeks and if the condition is dangerous or sharp.
It can be seen from the above that the diagnosis of depression has its own professional standards, which can not be expanded or ignored at will. However, these two phenomena are very common in clinical practice. For example, the first sentence of many patients entering the clinic is: 'doctor, I have depression. 'in fact, what patients feel sad for is not the symptoms of the disease itself, but the negative emotions caused by the bad hints of self, and many patients with neurosis have the characteristics of hypersensitivity or preference exaggeration to cause concern. Therefore, it is easy to be diagnosed as depression. As a result, it can only aggravate the bad hints of the patients themselves, resulting in the delay of symptoms. However, many latent depression can not be found and diagnosed in time. This type of depression is mainly manifested by physical discomfort, but the depression is not obvious. They often turn to internal and surgical treatment, do a lot of unnecessary examination, some were misdiagnosed. Due to the fact that the public in our country are more secretive about mental illness or mental illness, this situation is quite common in China.
