How do depressed patients heal themselves?

Patients with depression can adopt the following rehabilitation methods:

1, seeking emotional support. Emotional support is very important for patients with depression. The study found that almost all patients who struggle with depression will never forget those who give them emotional support. If you can't find emotional support among relatives and friends, you might as well join some psychological support groups.

2. Conduct psychological counseling. Professional psychological counselors not only have professional knowledge, but also are full of care and sympathy, good at listening, able to understand patients' language and emotions, and able to communicate effectively with patients.

3. Find value in dedication. Patients with depression can participate in voluntary activities, actively use their own strength to serve others, and find the meaning and value of life from them, so as to improve their mental state.

4. Conduct "outbreak training" appropriately. Carrying out burst training within the range that the body can bear is conducive to improving the level of endorphin secretion in the brain, which in turn is conducive to improving mood. Patients can walk for 30~45 minutes every day, and do 4~5 groups 1 minute brisk walking or fast running during walking.

The main methods to cure depression in clinic are psychotherapy, drug therapy and physical therapy. Psychotherapy can help patients recognize automatic thinking, rebuild cognitive system, and improve related symptoms of depression by correcting unreasonable cognition, while physical therapy mainly adopts repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation or non-convulsive electroconvulsive therapy.

In particular, the treatment of non-convulsive electric shock is mainly aimed at patients who refuse to eat, are unconscious and commit suicide strongly. As a first-line treatment, drug therapy mainly uses serotonin reuptake inhibitors such as paroxetine, fluoxetine, sertraline, venlafaxine and duloxetine to treat depression.
