How to prevent depression relapse, teach you these 5 methods

The treatment of depression is very complicated and requires a long time of treatment to be completely cured, but depression can also relapse. I believe this is something that patients who have recovered are very afraid to hear. So how do we prevent recurrence of depression? If your family or friend suffers from depression, take a good look at the following preventive measures.

1. Good personality cultivation:

There are certain differences in personality among patients with depression, so if we want to improve depression, we must first start by improving our personality. How to cultivate a perfect and good personality plays a vital role in future depression care. In fact, patients with depression have a mentality of escaping reality and encouraging themselves, especially in terms of personality defects, they have not developed well. The blind lack of personality is the reason for the deepening of depression. Choosing to escape from reality, choosing to become a person who shrinks in a turtle shell, escaping from reality after mental stimulation, alcoholism or drug abuse, self-deception, self-harm, and resisting the cruelty of reality are all phenomena that aggravate depression. These are all caused by the imperfect personality and the mood of seeking retreat, which leads to the aggravation of depression. If a person has a good personality, he will actively seek help from the outside world when facing mental stimulation, increase self-confidence, and improve practical skills in dealing with complex problems. In this way, he can avoid the physical and mental harm caused by external stimulation.

2. Make good friends:

Friends are the spiritual product of people's interactions and the harvest of people's exchanges. Everyone needs friends more or less. Only by placing oneself in a collective and seeking warmth and friendship from rich and colorful collective activities can patients with depression integrate into society more quickly, escape the cage of loneliness and addiction, and alleviate depression symptoms. In particular, don't lock yourself up at home all day, just sighing and admiring yourself. This will easily lead to severe depression. Learn to tell your unhappy thoughts to friends, relatives and teachers, vent your complaints, pour out your grievances and find relief from venting. What we need to remind here is that some executives and white-collar workers, because they are under greater pressure and are unwilling to share their troubles with others, will get sick if they keep it in their hearts. This is what I mean, so they should create an environment and conditions for communication and venting.

3. A good mood:

There are eight out of ten things in life that are not satisfactory. It is impossible to have smooth sailing all your life. There will always be times of frustration. It is common for frustration to lead to depression. Smooth sailing is just a good wish for yourself. You should always maintain a good mood. Even if you encounter unpleasant things, you can still maintain the best mood and establish an open-minded attitude. Learn to be straightforward and honest, and don't be overly self-blaming, self-sad, or self-pitying. To quote a common saying, "Health is the capital of revolution." Being in a good mood, having moderate expectations, and reasonably adjusting your level of ambition can help you keep yourself in the best emotional state.

4. Curiosity and broad interests:

Having broad interests is a "life-saving talisman" for depression. If a person has only one interest, then the happiness she chooses will also be in only one direction. When this happiness shows an unstable trend, the depressed patient will develop depressive symptoms. Therefore, depressed patients should set more interest goals. More choices will bring more happiness. With more adjustment methods, they can regulate their physical and mental health. Coupled with constant curiosity, they can increase the communication scope of depressed patients. Quite a number of depressed patients can greatly improve their symptoms if they receive more interest cultivation.

5. Reading relaxing publications:

Clinical trials have shown that reading relaxing publications, especially those with beautiful pictures, can help depressed patients feel the beauty of the world from the bottom of their hearts, thereby helping them to get out of the psychological shadow of depression. However, such selective auxiliary methods are also based on the willingness of depressed patients to accept them.
