The usual cause of anxiety is to want to achieve one's expectations, but cannot put them into action, which leads to the current conscious energy activating the inner subconscious expectations, so that the subconscious energy transmission channel is activated, and the nervous system is continuously supplied with energy, but they do not know how to achieve it, that is, they lack the corresponding behavioral actions to consume these accumulated energy, resulting in more and more mental energy in the brain. Excess energy is accumulated in the brain, and excessive energy accumulation will stimulate the excessive secretion of dopamine in the nervous system, resulting in psychological and physiological excitement, resulting in a variety of anxiety phenomena.
The difference between anxiety and depression is that anxiety is because our inner expectations are activated, but we can't find a way to realize this expectation, we subconsciously think that these expectations are still possible, so the subconscious expectations are continuously activated, and the brain is continuously energized through the subconscious neural connection channel, and the brain nervous system energy is too surplus and there is no cathartic pathway, resulting in the phenomenon of anxiety.
Depression is when we are completely aware that there is no possibility of realizing the expectations in the subconscious, and then the neural connection channels of the subconscious mind cannot be activated, completely closing the energy channels of the nervous system, resulting in insufficient energy in the nervous system of the brain, and the ability of the nervous system to secrete dopamine is weakened.
The most common anxiety is the anxiety when waiting for the car: we know that the car will come, and we have been looking forward to the car coming, but we can't know exactly how long it will take for the car to come, so we will always be stuck in the anxiety of waiting for the car to come, which is the inner expectation to be activated, and the brain nervous system will be continuously powered by the activated neural connection channel, but we have not been able to wait for the car to arrive, and we have been waiting, so the energy accumulated in the nervous system is increasing, that is, the more we wait, the more impatient we are, and the more we wait, the more impatient we are。 This anxious energy will also stimulate the secretion of dopamine in the nervous system, which will affect our whole body, excessive dopamine secretion, will lead to muscle tension, emotional agitation and other conscious behaviors, which is a manifestation of excessive excitement of the nervous system, of course, this is also a way for us to vent our anxious emotional energy through the body and behavior.
When we understand the difference between anxiety and depression, we know that there are many different directions of development when anxiety occurs.
First of all, it is to find a way to achieve expectations, if we know what to do at this time to achieve expectations, we will transform the surplus energy in the brain nervous system into the driving force to do things, then there will be a strong willingness to do things, at the same time, the surplus energy in the brain will have an outlet, and slowly no longer be anxious, but concentrate on doing things and realize their expectations.
The second possibility is that if after a long time of waiting and hard work, we can't find a way to realize the expectation, then we completely feel in our hearts that this subconscious expectation has no possibility of being realized at all, and then it will turn from anxiety to depression, which is the expectation is completely disappointed, and then it is not anxiety, but becomes depressed.
Of course, there is also a possibility that if you don't find a way to achieve it, you don't give up completely, and you are still in the process of achieving your expectations, which will keep falling into anxiety and eventually get worse and worse.
Why is there more and more depression and anxiety in modern society?When we understand the root cause of anxiety, we can easily understand that the reason for this problem is obvious, in general, it is because modern material civilization is becoming more and more developed, and to pursue a higher level of material civilization, ordinary people need to make more efforts, but a person's ability is limited, only a small number of elites can keep up with the pace of development of modern material civilization, and most ordinary people do not have enough ability to keep up with the pace of development of modern material civilization.
This leads to the fact that most ordinary people in a highly developed material civilization society will feel more and more pressure, and only by working overtime to extend working hours and increase work intensity to squeeze their potential, they will live more and more tired.
The fundamental reason is that the current highly developed material civilization is deformed, and this is only the material civilization of a small number of elites, not the material civilization that benefits the general public.
The current situation of the development of material civilization will inevitably lead to serious polarization in society, and the result is also obvious, without the participation of the majority of ordinary people, such material civilization will inevitably gradually decline, and a small number of elites will not be able to support the benign operation of the entire social civilization.
The future is already very clear, and there is only one way to go, to further develop spiritual civilization while developing material civilization.
The instinct of human nature is to maintain the status quo, and if there is no predicament, it will not think about change, so the predicament is an opportunity, and only in the predicament can we be enlightened, which is the inevitability of historical development.
