A strong mental shock can leave a huge invisible scar on the mind

Mondo Social Updated on 2024-01-31

People who experience strong mental stimulation such as ** or witness a murder can leave psychological trauma even if they are not physically injured. Sometimes there will be emotional numbness, loss of sense of reality, dissociative forgetting, and a state of confusion. In addition, sometimes as a traumatic experience, emotions or feelings at that time suddenly come to mind or appear in dreams constantly, creating intense anxiety or sleep disturbances. In more severe cases, the patient becomes reluctant to go out of the house in order to avoid things that remind him or her of the traumatic experience, which hinders his or her normal life.

A nightmare that you can't forget

Many of the symptoms caused by trauma go away after a few days or weeks, but there are also cases that do not go away for a long time. According to the latest version of the American Psychiatric Association's diagnostic criteria for DSM (DSM-IV), symptoms that last from 2 days to 4 weeks are called acute stress disorder, and symptoms that last more than 1 month are called post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Post-traumatic stress disorder also occurs six months or more after the traumatic experience.

"The psychology of pursuing beauty" and "the body that needs food".

In the era of food scarcity and culture, fat is understood as evidence of affluence. In well-fed societies, people believe that "obesity is a lack of self-control, so they despise obesity and think that only thinness is beautiful." The most beautiful are young girls. To achieve the "** wish" is to control the instinctive appetite of animals, which makes many young girls miserable.

Anorexia nervosa, also known as food refusal, is considered as a serious problem because it is sometimes related to human life. **To the point that the body has been thin to the bone, **there is no luster, and I feel that I am not thin enough, and I have a strong fear of getting fat. Some people limit the amount of food they eat, some people vomit with guilt after eating, or use laxatives, and continue to lose weight. In women, it can also cause complications of amenorrhea. In addition, because I don't think I am sick, I rarely go to the hospital, which is also a characteristic of the disorder. There are many symptoms that are caused by extremes.

In contrast to anorexia, bulimia nervosa, which is characterized by eating a shocking amount of food at once, has also been on the rise in recent years. Similar to anorexia, bulimia sufferers also feel guilty about eating, and there are many people who resort to vomiting and laxatives. Sometimes, because you can't stand the hunger strike, you start to eat uncontrollably, and there are many examples of anorexia changing from bulimia to bulimia, so it can be said that the two are one and the same.

Sometimes depression comes up from the bottom of the heart for no reason and troubles people.

Misfortunes and sufferings such as physical and mental illnesses, accidents, the death of a loved one, and daily stress often lead to depression. This emotion is manifested as "feeling bored and troublesome in doing anything, unable to concentrate, and reduced ability to think." The body is tired, it is not easy to sleep when lying in bed, and there is no appetite (on the contrary, there are also those who have an increased appetite). People who feel like they are useless sometimes have suicidal thoughts. "If such emotions persist for more than two weeks, the symptoms cause significant mental distress to the person, and interfere with daily life, depression can be diagnosed according to the DSM-IV.

Sometimes depression occurs suddenly without any reason, and there are periodic depressions, and sometimes there will be "mania" that is the opposite of depression between the depression cycles
