The symptoms of "emotional heatstroke" mainly include the following three points: first, emotional irritability, frequent quarrels with family members or colleagues because of trivial matters, and at the same time, I feel confused, unable to calm down and think about things, and often forget things; Second, I am depressed, I am not interested in anything, I feel that life is boring, and I lack enthusiasm for my colleagues and family.
