Data show that nearly 70% of male patients with depression avoid medical treatment. Unexpectedly, male depression is easier to cure. Therefore, once male friends suffer from depression, they should seek medical treatment in time. In addition, self-help is also important for male patients to get out of the haze of depression as soon as possible. The psychiatrist at the New York Medical Center issued a self-help "prescription", which was also recommended by the American Psychological Association (APA).
Don't blame yourself. Depression is a disease, and you have no ability to create or choose it. Therefore, instead of blaming yourself for "why I got this damned disease", you should understand that you are in urgent need of help and actively embark on the path of seeking rehabilitation.
Follow the treatment plan carefully. Take medicine according to the prescription and see doctors regularly. To enable doctors to accurately monitor the curative effect and timely adjust the treatment plan and drugs.
Don't be discouraged. Tell yourself that it will take a while to get back to normal. Don't worry. I often say to myself, "I will get better".
Avoid making important decisions in life. After suffering from depression, the ability to make major decisions will be affected. Therefore, it is best to make major decisions when the depression is over and you have confidence in your decision-making power.
Simplify life. After suffering from depression, we should change our life appropriately. Don't expect to be like before the disease. If you find something too difficult to do, just ignore it. If you also ask yourself to do a lot of things at the same time as a healthy person, or complete a task quickly, you may feel overwhelmed and become more depressed.
Participate in activities. Take part in some good activities that can make you feel successful. Even if you are just a bystander at the beginning, don't give up these opportunities. Such activities can gradually restore your confidence, which is of great benefit to the treatment of depression.
