Why do young people today live the most depressed lives?

Release date【2019-8-28】 Browse【1306】times

In China, which group is the most depressed? I believe readers of different ages and social strata will have different answers.

A study shows that people aged 20 to 30 are the most stressed, and young people are the most stressed of all ages. Although it is not yet possible to assert that young people in China are the largest group of depressive patients, we need to be alert to a new phenomenon: Chinese depressive patients are becoming younger and younger.


Why do young people today live the most depressed lives


In the eyes of others, why do young people who should be in high spirits and enjoy their time suffer from depression?

The prevalence of depression in China is 6.1%. According to the World Health Organization, the global incidence of depression is 3.1%. The incidence of depression in China is higher than the world average, and the incidence is increasing year by year in recent years. According to the 6.1% incidence rate, the number of depressive patients in China has reached 90 million, which is undoubtedly a major disaster area of depression.

It is reported that about 250,000 people die of suicide every year in China, more than half of them suffer from depression. The serious consequences of depression deserve attention. However, some insiders said that it was difficult to accurately count the number and incidence of depression in China, because no such special survey had been conducted before.

Although China has not yet published official data on mental illness, most evidence suggests that the proportion of depressive patients is on the rise. At present, the mental health of young people is very worrying: whether it is mental illness, mental disorders or depressive tendencies, there is a trend of expansion and aggravation among young people. Especially depression, from the clinical point of view, people with depression are getting younger and younger.

Young people's pressure of "Chinese characteristics"

Somatosensory Music Therapy for Psychosomatic Decompression

People's feeling and experience of music is not only a physiological process, but also a psychological process. Music can cause changes in people's moods. Music therapy can alleviate various physical and mental symptoms such as insomnia, anxiety and depression, and gastrointestinal dysfunction. It is a psychotherapy worthy of attention.

Origin of Music Therapy

——————————

Modern medicine has made people begin to understand that music can cure people's diseases. It is Richtendahl who discovered that the influence of music on diseases can be adopted by the medical profession and applied to clinical treatment. So far, he put forward a pioneering and revolutionary viewpoint - Music Doctor. It is this viewpoint that made the whole world in 19. In the 1990s, music played a note to cure diseases.

Modern medicine holds that music can cause physiological changes, partly through nerve transmission. The auditory nerve fibers act like resonators, receiving different sounds and converting them into nerve impulses that are transmitted to the brain. After brain analysis, the human body reacts differently.

A large number of experimental studies have proved that the center of music perception, integration and analysis is in the right hemisphere of the brain, responsible for non-verbal forms and psychological functions. Such as the perception of music melody, music memory and tone regulation, but also promote the activation of the right hemisphere of the brain.

Those beautiful and pleasant music, which conform to the physiological rhythm of the human body, enter the brain through sensory pathways and act on the brain system, which can regulate the excitability of the whole body cells, thereby restoring the balance of the body through nerve and humoral regulation.

The expansion of young depressive groups in China is closely related to the unprecedented social environment and the factors of the times. Researchers classified the pressures they faced into ten aspects, including social environment, work pressure, personal achievement, income, interpersonal relationship, social support, family, housing, children and personal life. The results also showed that people aged 20 to 30 had the highest levels of mental stress.

Among them, the social environmental pressure they are facing is mainly brought about by the uncertainty of the future social and economic development, which is also considered as the "characteristic pressure" of China in the period of social transformation. People aged 20 to 30 are in the early stage of graduation and career struggle, and the pattern of life is not yet stable. In the uncertain social and economic environment, young people are more confused and anxious about the future, which will lead to depression.

Plus, with the prevalence of social networks, communication between people is more convenient, but it also blurs the boundaries between work and life to a certain extent. 24 hours on call, overtime has become the norm for many workers. Studies have shown that excessive use of computers and mobile phones reduces the ability to regulate relaxation and tension in the brain, which can lead to sleep disorders, poor work efficiency, and stress that may come on at any time, leading to depression.

Young people devoured by depression

The social environment not only brings various pressures which are difficult to eliminate for young people, but also distorts their values to a certain extent, and makes them fall into the predicament of self-denial.

From the social environment, the over-utilitarian social atmosphere is an important reason to induce young people's mental health problems. In the past decade or two, the whole society's orientation has been to develop the economy. The core of this orientation is money. In this way, although the society has developed and the National Hardware has become stronger, it has also brought about a lot of side effects - people think that money is the most important, and then ignore their spiritual care.

Not only the current social atmosphere, but also the information environment and social network that young people expose every day, they are constantly emphasizing utilitarian and realistic values.

In the unreasonable comparison, I feel a huge psychological gap, anxious to deny myself, impatient, and even have psychological problems. Psychologists have studied for many years and found that young people who worship money, fame and wealth are 20% more likely to suffer from depression than those who do not value money, fame and wealth very much. Their suggestion is that young people should do what they can in the pursuit of an upward and better life.

Indeed, there are only a few successful people in society. In the 20-30 year-old stage of life, values have not yet taken shape. If we blindly pursue success and demand ourselves with the goal of utilitarianism and set an example of improper examples, we will fall into the trap of utilitarianism and be bound forward by the rules of jungle society. In this process, their inner confusion and anxiety are hard to get attention, and they will inevitably lead to psychological problems.

Here we hope that our young people can also care about their mental health when they "upgrade and crack down on strange things", so that depression can stay away from themselves and take a positive attitude towards life.
