Mental health is very important. I believe that friends in current life are gradually understanding this sentence. Among many mental diseases, we are most familiar with depression. Among depression, the most alarming thing is hidden depression. For men, we remind you how to find out the existence of this disease as soon as possible.
The requirements or expectations of the society for men are always strong and resolute, and they always play the role of protector. Therefore, "a man cannot shed tears lightly". When they encounter emotional distress or frustration, they are not easy to seek help. They usually hide their inner pain deeply, making it difficult for people to judge or perceive. Women are better at expressing feelings and exposing emotions through words and gestures, including many things that reflect depression, while men are more willing to bear what happens by themselves and deal with emotional distress by smoking, drinking and other bad ways.
The characteristics of men cause their painful emotions to be hidden, deep but not exposed, and the depression performance is not typical, which affects their active medical treatment, and to some extent also affects the screening of depression disorders. It is reported that in the United States, men are four times more likely to commit suicide than women, but only half of men are diagnosed with depression, because many men's depression is not manifested as common symptoms such as sadness, depression, guilt, withdrawal, etc., but most of them are manifested as various and atypical symptoms such as tantrums, recklessness, alcoholism, drug abuse, speeding, like bullying, intimidating and blaming the people around them, Cause their depression to be ignored. Male depression has its own characteristics. Male depression sometimes "hides". When men have the following behaviors, people should be careful whether they have depression.
Easy to fatigue
Generally speaking, compared with women, male depression is more likely to have unexplained fatigue as its early symptoms.
Too much or too little sleep
One of the common symptoms of male depression is that after sleeping for more than 12 hours every day, you still feel weak, or you will wake up after sleeping for about 2 hours.
Unexplained discomfort
Physical pain of unknown cause is a common symptom of depression, but it is easy for men to ignore this, which deserves attention.
