No one in the wilderness has anything to do with depression.

Depression is a common mental illness, mainly manifested as depression, decreased interest, pessimism, slow thinking, lack of initiative, self-blame, poor diet and sleep, fear of various diseases, general discomfort, and even suicidal thoughts and behaviors in severe cases.

Depression is called "blue worry" in the west. According to relevant surveys, the incidence of depression in China is about 3%-5%, and more than 26 million people have suffered from depression at present. With the development of society, white-collar workers living in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou have quickly become high-risk groups of the disease under high pressure and high competition.

Unfortunately, in sharp contrast to the high incidence rate, the recognition rate of depression in hospitals above prefecture level is less than 20%. Among the existing patients with depression, less than 10% have received relevant drug treatment.

Among adults over 20 years old, the number of patients with depression is increasing at the rate of 1 1.3% per year. It is predicted that by 2005, the incidence of depression in developed countries will rise to 8 ~ 10%. By 2020, functional residues that are easy to cause will rise to the second place in the general classification of diseases, second only to ischemic heart disease.

The situation of depression in China is not optimistic. At present, the incidence of depression in China is about 4%. According to the epidemiological survey data in some areas using the new disease classification and diagnosis system, the prevalence rate of depression in China is about 10 ‰ ~ 15 ‰, which is close to the statistical results of developed countries. Neuropsychiatric diseases rank first in the total disease burden in China, accounting for about 20% of the total disease burden. According to the World Health Organization, by 2020, the burden of neuropsychiatric diseases in China will rise to 1/4 of the total disease burden.

According to some data, 70% people in China are in sub-health state, and patients with diseases related to psychological stress account for about 5% ~ 10% of the population. Physical and mental diseases and psychological disorders have become frequently-occurring and common diseases. In 2002, the amount of drugs used for nervous system in typical hospitals in key cities of China reached about 65.438+0.42 billion yuan, accounting for 63.28% in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and the amount of antidepressants was about 65.438+0/5.
