最近在看一本关于抑郁症的书,里面有一部分涉及青少年,发在这里,给自己和其他家长提个醒。 怕自己翻译不够精确,引用部分我就直接抄英文了。 1. 什么是DEPRESSION Clinical depression, as compared with ordinary sadness, is a mood state that lasts at least two weeks, during which the person has little interest or lasting pleasure in anything and which interferes with a person's ability to function at home, at school, or at work. 2. 表现形式 People who are depressed withdraw from others, narrow their interests, and usually have little energy, though sometimes depressed people try to overcompensate by becoming extremely busy in an attempt to crowd out their negative feelings. People suffering from depression often experience changes in appetite and sleep patterns and have difficulty thinking and concentrating. If not dealt with, their depression tends to return, and it often becomes more frequent and more severe. |
