How to treat mood disorders

We often encounter some negative emotions in life. These negative emotional changes will have an impact on us, and even patients need reasonable control to alleviate them. Emotional disorders will have a great impact on a person's environment, including the quality of life. Such patients will be overly sad, happy and happy, so special attention should be paid to adjustment.

What are mood disorders?

Simply put, emotion is the intensity of a person's reaction to environmental changes. Emotion is the product of human evolution and is closely related to the natural and social environment in which humans live. Human emotions are very complicated, but they are composed of four basic emotions: happiness, sadness, anger, and fear. In addition to happiness, sadness, anger, and fear are all negative emotions, or bad emotions. As society transforms and changes, people are under increasing pressure and there are more and more opportunities for negative emotions to dominate. If a person is in a negative mood for a long time, cannot change with the passage of time and changes in the environment, and loses the ability to self-regulate, then he has an emotional disorder. Continuous psychological pressure or tension and sudden events are the main factors that lead to negative emotional disorders.

Why are there so many patients with mood disorders in general hospitals?

According to statistics, more than 95% of patients with mood disorders will go to general hospitals for help, and more than 20-30% of patients in general hospitals have mood disorders to varying degrees. There are reasons for this on both the doctor and the patient side: from the patient's point of view, if they feel unwell, of course they will go to the doctor. Many patients with mood disorders have various physical discomforts, such as dizziness, palpitations, shortness of breath, shortness of breath, chest and back pain, numbness of the limbs, sweating, abdominal distension, nausea, indigestion, frequent urination and urgency, etc., with many main complaints involving various organ systems, as well as severe fatigue, collapse, tinnitus, insomnia, various strange sensations, etc., as if they are uncomfortable from head to toe. This is called the "somatization" phenomenon of emotional disorders. If it is difficult to make a diagnosis at the moment, it will aggravate the patient's doubts and anxiety; from the doctor's point of view, there is a lack of understanding, the division of specialties is too detailed, and they are accustomed to starting with organ diseases, seeing the "sick organ" but not the "sick person", and ignoring the patient's psychological and emotional problems, resulting in many patients with emotional disorders seeming to have difficult and complicated diseases.

What kind of people with mood disorders need treatment?

Whether treatment is needed depends on the severity and persistence of the emotional disorder. If it affects the patient's normal work, life and study, and causes confusion and pain to the patient, and the patient cannot free himself from it, then treatment is needed. More and more clinical evidence confirms that emotional disorders also have a direct promoting effect on the occurrence of certain diseases, such as high blood pressure, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia and sudden death, cancer, diabetes, etc., and affect disease recovery. Patients have to toss and turn in hospital beds for a long time and seek medical treatment everywhere, which brings huge economic and mental burden to the family and society, and even makes them lose the courage to live, leading to suicide or murder. For example, the Wenling doctor-killing case caused a tragedy on earth, and its harm cannot be underestimated!
