盘点潜在的抑郁症患者常做的那些事

1. They might not “look depressed”

他们也许看起来不忧郁

Due to media and cultural stereotypes, most of us have assumptions about how someone behaves and looks if they’re struggling with depression. We imagine someone who rarely leaves their room, doesn’t dress themselves well, and constantly looks miserable, but people with depression do not all behave in the same way.

由于媒体和文化模式,我们中的大多数人都有关于人的行为和外貌的假设,如果他们在与抑郁症作斗争。我们想象很少离开自己的房间的人,自己穿不好衣服,并总是看起来悲惨,但抑郁症患者的行为并不都以同样的方式表现。

2. They may often seem exhausted or complain about always being tired

他们可能常常显得疲惫或抱怨总是很累

A prevalent side effect of depression is constant exhaustion. Not everyone with the disorder struggles with it, but it’s extremely common. For those who experience this symptom with their depression, it’s often one of the hardest side effects to cope with.

抑郁症的一个普遍的副作用是恒定的疲惫。不是每个人都与疾病斗争,但这太普遍了。对于那些经历与他们的抑郁症相同的症状,通常是最难应付的副作用之一。

3. They can be unusually irritable

它们可以异常烦躁

A depressed person’s behavior might be interpreted as melancholy even if that’s not what they’re really feeling. Irritability is a frequently overlooked symptom of depression that is also very common. This should be understandable, since depression is a health problem you can’t “see” or strictly measure, making it hard to combat.

抑郁症患者的行为可能被视为忧郁,即使这并不是他们真正的感觉。易怒是一个经常被忽视的抑郁症状的症状也很常见。这应该是可以理解的,因为抑郁症是一种你不能“看到”的健康问题或者更确实的估计,使其很难对抗。

4. They could have a tough time responding to affection and concern

他们可以有一个强硬的时间响应的情感和关注

The main misconception about depression, which has been hinted at in the paragraphs above, is that it’s about “feeling” sad.

对抑郁的主要的误解,暗示在上面的段落中,是它的“感觉”很伤心。

5. They might frequently turn down activities they used to love or would otherwise enjoy

他们可能经常拒绝他们以前喜欢或否则享受的活动

Unless other explanations could equally be possible, an uncharacteristic lack of interest in activities over an extended period of time could be a sign that someone has depression. As mentioned above, depression is just as physically draining as it is mentally draining, which makes enjoying all the things you usually do difficult.

除非其他解释同样是可能的,缺乏一种不寻常的兴趣活动超过一段时间可能是一个迹象表明有人抑郁。如前所述,抑郁如身体排水一样是耗费精力的,这使得你享受平常做的事情很困难。

6. They can develop abnormal eating habits

他们可以产生不正常的饮食习惯

Abnormal eating habits mainly develop for two reasons: as a form of coping, or as a side effect of lack of self-care. Eating too little or too much is a common sign of depression. Overeating is often shamed the most, when food can be the one source of pleasure a depressed person is able to give themselves and thus causes them to eat excessively.

产生不正常的饮食习惯主要有两个原因:发展应对的一种形式,或缺乏自我保健的副作用。吃太多或太少是一种常见的抑郁症的迹象。过量进食往往最常见,当食物可以成为一个抑郁症患者能够给自己的快乐的来源,从而使他们过度饮食。
