"2022 National Depression Blue Book": 94%of patients accept online consultation

China's mental health survey shows that the prevalence of adult depression disorders in my country is 6.8%, of which depression is 3.4%. At present, nearly 50 million people in my country have suffered from depression. After the new crown epidemic, the problem of mental and psychological disorders became more prominent, seriously damaging the physical and mental health of the people.

Recently, the People's Daily's Health Client, Health Times, Good Mood, Mind, Psychological Medicine and Psychological Health Digital Service Platform, Lingbei China, jointly released the "2022 National Depression Blue Book". Blue Books, through user research, literature research, expert assessment analysis and other methods, gather a large amount of data, focus on the current status of national depression, and call on the people to pay attention to psychological health and explore the emerging diagnosis and treatment model.

Disclosed teenager depression

Data from the Blue Book Survey shows that patients under 18 years of age in my country account for 30.28%of the total number, 50%of patients with depression are students at school, and 41%of patients have suspended school due to depression.

Children's depression has become a major public health problem in my country, and the news of suicide due to depression caused by depression in recent years is not uncommon, but unfortunately, many parents lack correct cognition of depression and cannot be discovered and prevented early.

Children's depression is caused by a variety of factors. Except for genetic factors, excessive academic pressure, too severe parents, lack of family care, and campus bullying may cause children to be depressed.

It's easy to get angry, love crying, lose interest in things you like before, do not want to contact your classmates, do not want to go to school, always walk, and difficult to sleep or sleep well. These are early signs of depression. Too coquettish, or avoid learning. It is regrettable that many parents and students have not realized that this is a disease, and they have not given intervention in time. From the investigation of the Blue Book, we saw that nearly half of the students did not seek any help.

We must realize that for children, depression is also a disease that needs to pay attention to and treat.

Women are more likely to be "looking for door" by depression

The blue book shows that among patients with depression, women account for 68%, which is much higher than men. Postpartum and menopause is a period of high incidence of female depression. 63%of women have suffered from postpartum depression. The main factors include changes in social and family identity, breastfeeding feeding, and family relationships. It is worthwhile that 40%of women are ignored by their families when they suffer from postpartum depression. Some families' awareness of postpartum depression in women still stay at the "prestige" level and even sarcastic.

In menopause, women are facing pressure from children, family and society, and their depression often accompanies bad emotions such as "helpless", "loneliness" and "irritability".

The change in female hormones is an important influencing factor in depression. Women from adolescence, pregnancy to menopause, women in different life cycles are accompanied by changes in ovarian hormone levels, and the violent changes in hormones will increase the risk of depression significantly.

In addition, compared with men, women's emotional stability and ability to resist pressure are worse. In the face of negative sexual events, women are more likely to be trapped in it, and they are more likely to regard small setbacks as "big grinding difficulties". This trait is also a high -risk factor for depression.

Several special periods of women in their lives need more understanding and support for families and society, encourage them to talk about their distress, learn to relieve stress in various healthy ways, and take the initiative to help professional help.

"Luddy" elderly depression group

The main anxiety of depression patients who entered the elderly stage came from the treatment of chronic diseases. While elderly patients suffer from depression, they also have other physical diseases, such as hypertension and diabetes.

The blue book shows that 67%of the elderly are living alone, and in the process of depression treatment, the hospital has a long queue time, inconvenience of physical action, responsible for purchasing medicines, and insufficient cognition of diseases.

In the process of gradually aging, the elderly became more fragile, and their loneliness and depression were unknown. Children's care is the most effective way to alleviate depression. As children, they must communicate with their parents often, accompany them more, and use love to strengthen their spiritual support for them.

More than 70 % of patients have recurrence, "gaining fat" into the most unbearable side effects

Depression has a serious impact on most people's lives. User survey data shows that "fatigue", "insufficient power", and "decreased memory" have become important factor affecting the quality of life. Only 18%and 3%of patients think that their current quality of life is better and very good.

There are many pain points in the treatment of depression. "High cost" is a "blockbuster" that blocks patients for a long time to receive psychotherapy. Among the patients who have received drug treatment, side effects such as "gaining fat", "disgusting", "shaking", and "constipation" have become issues that are highly concerned.

Depression is a high recurrence disease. Studies have shown that the recurrence rate of depression is as high as 50%to 85%, that is, at least half of patients have recurred. Premature stops, stop eating, psychological stimuli, excessive psychological pressure, seasonal changes, lack of family support, etc. can all become the fuse of depression recurrence, causing patients to fall into the quagmire again.

The best way to prevent recurrence is to receive standardized treatment. After 8 to 12 weeks of medication, the symptoms are usually improved, but it does not mean that the medicine can be discontinued immediately, just like a fire. Although the fire is extinguished, it may still exist. , Consolidate the efficacy and prevent dead ash. After the symptoms are eliminated, they still cannot rush to stop the medicine. Instead, they must maintain treatment and completely cut the grass and remove the roots, otherwise it is easy to recur. The length of the maintenance period depends on the number of seizures, whether there are residual symptoms, etc., usually 2 to 3 years. If multiple recurrences, most of them need to be treated for life.

Some friends with depression have adverse reactions such as fatterness, drowsiness, and constipation after taking antidepressants, but it is necessary to specifically explain that the adverse reactions of the drug are now controllable. If there is indeed an unbearable side effect, you can achieve the treatment effect by reducing the amount, change of drugs, and even replacing the treatment plan, and at the same time make your feelings better.

After taking the medicine, "becoming stupid" and "addiction" is even more misunderstanding. Usually, in the case of correct diagnosis and reasonable medication, antidepressants will not damage the brain, let alone dependence.

Internet hospitals provide more options for depression friends

After the epidemic, offline treatment faced problems such as difficulties, complex processes, and spending too long. 43%of patients changed the way to seek medical treatment under the epidemic. 27%of patients chose to buy online medicines.

With the rise of Internet medical care, the development of psychotherapy services in my country has shown a diverse trend. The Internet medical care has irreplaceable advantages in breaking the barriers to time and space of medical services, improving treatment effects, improving diagnosis and treatment efficiency, highlighting personalization and intelligence, and improving the acceptance of patients with psychological diseases to online diagnosis and treatment. Blue Book data shows that 94%of patients accept online consultation.

Good mood, as the premier psychological medicine and psychological health digital service platform in China, can provide patients with one -stop services such as online consultation, consulting prescriptions, psychological intervention, and offline chain psychological clinics. Patients can realize online through a good mood platform to realize online Consultation, re -consultation, drug distribution, out -of -hospital rehabilitation management, etc.

At the end

Depression is not incurable, and standardized treatment can be cured. Therefore, once we find signs of depression, we must be calm and actively seeking the help of doctors. As long as we treat it correctly, we must get out of this "soul haze".
