All about "smiling" depression

Depression with a “smile on your face” is the greatest danger. In fact, a lot of cases have been recorded when a person who looked very happy yesterday, on the next day, of his own free will, suddenly gave up his life. Why it happens? Because all people are very different. Someone likes to shift their problems onto others, while someone carefully hides them from prying eyes.

In psychology, there is such a term - "smiling" depression. It assumes a smiling appearance in a person at a time when he becomes very badly mentally. A smile on their face during the onset of a negative mood suggests that people with depression try not to show everyone around them how bad they are.

"Laughing" depression in the modern world is common, and there can also be a large number of reasons for this. This is because some people have not learned to cope with their emotions. In most cases, they try to perform those daily activities and responsibilities that they do not like. But these actions and responsibilities have always been considered and will be considered beneficial.

For example, some subjects visit the fitness club not because they really enjoy doing it, but because it is necessary to do so. Observations have shown that people who do not live and act the way they want are actually prone to depression.

One more factor is often added to the above factor. Often, depressed subjects "put on" a smile on their faces because they are under pressure from the outside. For example, they do not expose their true experiences so that their loved ones do not get upset.

If a divorce happens between spouses, then they in every possible way disguise their true emotions under a smile. This is how they make sure their children are not stressed. Please note: a strong awareness of responsibility puts pressure on the human psyche and prevents him from realizing the problem. As a result, his condition worsens, and a "laughing" depression sets in.

Some subjects think that there must be a serious reason for the onset of serious depression, for example, the loss of loved ones, illness, and more. If a person does not find precisely such tragic reasons, then he believes that he has no right to fall into despondency. He tries to ignore a bad mood, believing that this mood is a manifestation of a certain whim.

However, some people are prone to depression of this kind. A small push is enough for them to deteriorate their general mood for a long time. Moreover, this state of mind is very difficult to define.

That's why the latent form of the depressive state is very dangerous compared to the form that is visible to the naked eye. Why? Because a depressive state, which is of a classical nature, is immediately recognized, and a person begins to fight with it.

This ailment is very insidious, since it has a lot of symptoms. That is why the disease can remain out of sight for a long time and bring a person to the extreme.

This happens because the subject until the last hour smiles and even jokes if there are people next to him. However, if such a subject is left alone with his “I”, he is subjected to mental anguish and can feel various unpleasant things. Let's list them.

• Constant fatigue and weakness even after sleep. When a person experiences constant mental stress, his body does not have time to completely relax and rest during sleep. Therefore, the sleep of the depressed subject will remain anxious and empathetic.
• Loneliness. The subject suffering from a negative state tries to keep aloof from people. He is afraid that people will notice his condition and mock him. Therefore, a person withdraws more and more into himself.
• A life with no future. The subject who suffers from depression is so immersed in his problems that he sees no reason to live and fight anymore. His inflamed consciousness simply cannot find a way out of this situation. Therefore, the brain of a person with mental trauma falls into a stupor.

In fact, the above signs are not the only ones. Therefore, experts divide them into specific groups. Consider the following group of symptoms that indicate that a person is suffering.

Loss of appetite or, conversely, its increase. It's no secret that a person suffering from depression either starts to eat a lot, or the food makes him disgusted. This happens because the subject's hormonal background is disturbed, which gives such an effect. Therefore, the individual either gains weight quickly or loses weight a lot.

Physiological pain. A person can have back pain, teeth, muscles and even stomach pain. All this happens because the depressive state negatively affects the entire body as a whole.

For example, if the condition affects the intestinal motility, then the patient suffers from flatulence, constipation, or very loose stools. Moreover, the tablets do not give a lasting effect. And then a person begins to think that he is seriously ill and turns to narrow specialists for help.However, studies show that his physical condition is normal. Therefore, know: instead of accusing doctors of incompetence, you need to pay attention to your state of mind.

Appearance suffers. Due to hormonal changes, which were provoked by emotional distress, a person may lose hair and even teeth.

Speech becomes slower due to constant negative thinking. Headaches do not go away even when a person takes very strong pills. Moreover, depressed subjects drink pills uncontrollably. And this also brings undeniable harm to health.

If you find "cheerful" depression in your loved ones or in yourself, do not panic. The main thing is that you have identified the problem. And how to cope with it, find out from the recommendations of the specialists presented below.

First of all, you need to take control of your negative state and admit that you are actually suffering from emotional distress. Do not hesitate to admit to yourself and your loved ones that you are experiencing unbearable inner torment. Just understand that hopelessness and apathy are not embarrassing.

To complete the above point, you need to find someone you trust completely. Then share with him the problems that have overcome you. The ideal option is to find a good specialist. Then you can definitely get help.

For you to be able to overcome your ailment, you need to carry out activities to raise your own self-esteem. She, like immunity, will be able to further protect your psyche from negative influences.

Full immersion in work is very good. However, do not forget that overwork is also fraught with various negative consequences for the mental state. Therefore, try not to overload yourself with various activities.

It happens that some people all the time think that they could not or did not want to help a loved one (friend, relative) in time. As a result, a tragedy happened to him.

Then a person who could not help another find a way out himself begins to feel guilty of the tragedy because of his own indifference. To prevent this from happening, be attentive to your loved ones. Then you will be able to help them in time, and your state of mind will remain normal.

Keep an eye on people. Show attentiveness and then you can easily determine that trouble has happened to your friend or loved one. If you see that there have been any changes in the subject's behavior that indicate the onset of a negative state, try to talk frankly with him.

Be careful not to scare the person away. If you frighten him off with obsessive actions, then he can completely "close" from you. Then there is nothing you can do to help. Therefore, before starting a conversation, win over the other person to you. Show a friendly mood with all your might. Don't put pressure on the person. Be gentle but persistent.

When you find out that the person is actually experiencing mental anguish, convince him to immediately contact a specialist who will help identify the degree of depression and prescribe adequate treatment. Until a person has turned to a doctor for help, become his “listener”. Let him tell you what is bothering him. Try to give a little advice that will help to stop the problem at least for a while.

Next, you need to try to increase the self-esteem of the person suffering from depression. To do this, tell us about his strengths. Point out weaknesses in his character and explain that absolutely all individuals have weaknesses in character. Also say that there are no perfect people on earth.

While the person is suffering from "laughing" depression, try not to leave them alone. Support him, give him a chance to get back to normal again.
