Many people have been “ depression ” Screened
Popular science, therapeutic French, and disease discussion are all over the place. From a macro perspective, the severity of this psychological disease is not much different from that of the next second, but because of the sudden hot spots, it suddenly enters the public view.
It is certainly a good thing to discuss psychology and mental health care more, but we might as well think a step further - we can build walls and store food first on weekdays, why wait until the disease comes down like a mountain?
In other words, they don't take care of themselves without physical examination, and only find medicine to find a doctor when they feel uncomfortable ——This is a disease in itself.
Leaf robust The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Fifth Edition) has a very important position in our business. People usually call it DSM-V, which is kind and professional.
But when I first saw this book, I had a bad experience.
When I was a child, I loved to bite my nails and refused to mend my ways. Many people came to my mother to scare her, Someone said This is "pica", Someone said This is a kind of addiction, Someone said It is because I have lost some vitamins in my body.
We also registered, but doctors in small places could not explain why. Finally, my mother got such a Manual of Mental Disorder Diagnosis and Statistics at that time, and planned to do it herself, saying to my father: "There must be something wrong with the child!"
Now we can see this book again. It has reached the fifth edition. It is a 16 size book with 980 pages. It is thick and heavy. You can feel a deep sense of authority without opening it. Book sellers on Taobao will mark it with "one package" to attract customers.
It is placed in the psychotherapist's bookshelf, Like a god who is not angry and self threatening.
Like my mother, many people have consciously started to contact psychology. Most of them have a bad foreshadowing: The growth of children is not smooth, the relationship between husband and wife is bumpy, and the workplace is full of grievances, or insomnia , cleanliness, exam anxiety, and social phobia are different.
Because of this or that problem, people began to buy some psychology related books, entrusted some trusted relatives and friends to introduce a psychological consultant, and began to type the word "psychology" into the search box of the website.
Even if there are occasionally some non vexing points of interest, they all focus on some utilitarian curiosity topics: Decoding deception, character analysis, hypnosis show and brainwashing.
Psychological experts go on TV and receive interviews, all of which are about this topic:
Why College Students suicide rate Elevated?
Contemporary social work high pressure To what extent?
There are a large number of leftover men and women, which are collective Outbreak of psychological problems Is it?
They are brothers and sisters in law!
Please advise me
So a situation becomes common: when people finally want to combine psychology with life, they have made a negative presupposition—— Just like "If you are in trouble, go to the police", people only remember that there is such a thing as "psychology" when they are in trouble, which may be useful.
For a long time, the subject of psychology has only been associated with the negative part of psychology in the public mind.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand: when you are ill, there is something written on the prescription, and you always think it is a kind of medicine - even if it appears in other occasions. Hundreds of varieties Psychological disorders , become the preferred driver when people introduce psychology into their own lives.
Only in the face of those psychological problems, people realized that psychology is a just need for life.
After all, there is only one kind of "happy", but there are many forms of "unhappy". When "happy", it is too late to experience. Who can stop to analyze this hard won feeling?
"If you have troubles, find psychology" is true, but despite the unhappiness, the research results of psychology still have a say in life and society.
Between us and psychology, we can't just rely on troubles and diseases as a medium.
Perhaps many of us do not provide a cushion beyond worry for the contact between psychology and life, because we do not know what positive intersection can be generated between this discipline and our life.
Many people do not realize that happiness and tranquility are not the only positive psychology.
In fact, in contrast to DSM-V's heavy 1000 page disease, it is not only simple happiness and happiness, but also optimism, tenacity, forgiveness, talent, humor, self-identity, positive interpersonal relationships, and a rare experience called "Happiness Flow".
Not only people with problems need psychology, but people without problems also need psychological help in many aspects to accelerate the pursuit of a better life.
Just as in addition to taking medicine, people will also exercise and pay attention to nutrition and food. Why can't we pursue some psychological exercise and nutrition in addition to the troubles of the state of mind?
Department of Psychology, Tsinghua University Li Yan Professor, in a recent public lecture, he put forward such a view:
"Psychology is not for you to find out that you have problems, but for you to become a stronger person to face problems 。 ”
Well said, most of the time, we should not be burning the brows when we think of the Buddha's feet.
Others have done a lot of work besides expressing their views: Professor Peng Kaiping from the Department of Psychology of Tsinghua University wrote a book The surging flow of happiness It is a profound combination of psychology and active life.
He pays attention to the balance of psychological expression like walking on a single wooden bridge, giving consideration to the subjective pleasure of research content and the objective rigor of research methods.
People talk about depression these days. I'm not going to jump out at this time. The chicken soup reminds people to strive for happiness.
I don't think it is necessary to teach "to strive for happiness", but to teach: We need to jump out of the negative assumptions of psychology and the rigid need for healing, and find out what aspects we can do well in ironmaking, which also requires our own hard preparations.
