Smiling depression is more harmful than ordinary depression. How to avoid smiling depression?

Depression can be said to be a highly prevalent mental illness. The main symptoms of depression are having a lot of worries, being unable to be happy, and being frowned all day long. Some patients with depression also have symptoms of insomnia and nightmares. In short, depression is very harmful to the human body, and most patients with depression do not smile much.

But there is also a type of depression in life who, due to work and face, always has a smile on their face, but has a lot of unhappy things in their mind. This is what we call smiling depression in daily life. In fact, smiling depression is much more harmful than ordinary depression.

A type of depression, a new type of depressive tendency that often occurs in urban white-collar workers.

Due to "work needs", "face needs" and "etiquette needs", they smile when they see their leaders, smile at customers and smile at their subordinates. But once the office door is closed or after going home, the lovely smile will automatically turn into a bitter face. This kind of "smile" is not a true feeling from the bottom of your heart, but a burden, which will become a depressive emotion over time. "Habitual smiling" cannot eliminate the pressure, worries, and sorrows brought by work, life, etc., but will only make their depression and pain accumulate deeper.

On the surface, depression and smiling seem to have nothing to do with each other, but in fact, a small number of depression patients feel very depressed and sad deep in their hearts, but on the surface they act as if nothing is wrong and force themselves to smile. This is medically called "smiling depression," which has become a new type of occupational disease.

Most of the people who suffer from smiling depression are white-collar workers in the workplace. It is common among white-collar workers with higher education, certain status and position, among whom there are more women than men.

"Smiling depression is more harmful than ordinary depression." Qu Wei said that patients smile to others out of face and responsibility, but negative emotions accumulate in their minds. When the pressure becomes too great to bear, their reaction is also huge. They may change from an extremely confident person to a very low self-esteem person, and even doubt their abilities in all aspects. Especially those who seem happy and don’t care about anything, are actually just hiding their stress, and people often ignore their emotional release.

Tips

Five ways to avoid smiling depression

1. Tear off the "false mask" of smile. Don't regard smile as a magic weapon to solve all problems. Adjust your way of thinking in dealing with people, deal with others with a true and sincere attitude, and realize that truth is the most vital.

2. Don’t let negative emotions transform. Adjust and vent negative emotions in time. Find a way to untie the knot where it occurred.

3. Relieve discomfort through diet. If you experience anxiety, palpitations, insomnia, etc., you can eat more beans, grains, vegetables and fruits, reduce meat intake, avoid drinking stimulating beverages such as coffee, strong tea, and alcohol, and eat less spicy and hot foods.

4. Learn some self-comfort and relaxation techniques, such as practicing yoga and Tai Chi, enjoying music, practicing calligraphy, painting, playing ball, etc.

5. Establish a psychological support system. When you feel depressed and have difficulty relieving yourself, seek psychological help and talk with friends to relieve stress. When the psychological pressure is too great, seek medical advice.

Smiling outside and frowning at home is a typical manifestation of smiling depression. Since smiling depression cannot be discovered in time, it is more harmful to the patient's body and mind. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone here that if you have too much psychological pressure, you must relieve it in time. You can complain to your friends or write it in a diary. Never hide it to yourself, as this will cause greater harm to yourself.
