With the improvement of living standards, people nowadays pay more and more attention to their emotional changes and mental health levels. The so-called demand is a market, when everyone wants to understand psychology-related knowledge through the Internet, there will inevitably be a large number of articles, **, etc.
The psychology clinic of our hospital recently received a patient, as soon as he sat down, he said that he had bipolar disorder, and asked the doctor if there was any good way. The outpatient doctor asked him when he was diagnosed at which hospital and how long he had been ill, but he said that it was measured in an online tweet last month.
After follow-up understanding, we learned that he was a little depressed recently, wondering if he was suffering from depression, and learned about bipolar disorder when he looked up depression-related news on the Internet.
In the following month, the thought of "I am a bipolar disorder" has been haunting him, which troubles him very much, and he feels more and more that he has bipolar disorder, and finally comes to our hospital for consultation when he can't bear it anymore.
After a preliminary diagnosis by a psychiatrist in our hospital, it was found that the patient did not have a tendency to bipolar disorder, but showed the characteristics of anxiety disorder.
Test if you have this situation" This kind of article is not uncommon on major platforms, and if the article has been reviewed by qualified and powerful experts, then it is indeed desirable. It can allow everyone to stay at home and have a superficial and general understanding of their body, so that they will not be completely black-eyed.
But even the articles published by very authoritative institutions will repeatedly tell everyone that the test is only a preliminary screening, and if you want to really confirm and rule out, you must eventually go to the hospital for examination. After all, there are individual differences in any disease, especially when it comes to psychological problems, and it is impossible for one article to be all-encompassing.
Especially in the current era of news, it is difficult for everyone to distinguish whether the news seen on the Internet is true or false, and these psychological problems are very complex.
A simple understanding of bipolar knows that the misdiagnosis rate of this condition is very high, relevant studies have shown that 69% of patients with bipolar disorder are initially misdiagnosed, and more than 1 3 patients are misdiagnosed for 10 years or more, which is caused by the particularity of bipolar disorder itself.
If even professional doctors in professional institutions can be so difficult when dealing with bipolar disorder, how can they be convinced of the conclusions of several tests in an article?
Of course, Kang Dajun is not saying that similar articles and tests are useless, nor is it for everyone to scoff at such articles, but I hope that everyone will not be like the above case, because a simple test will be panicked and affect real life and work.
People can't shy away from medical treatment, and they can't think that they are sick. In fact, when you start actively searching for articles to test whether you have bipolar, you already have doubts in your heart. In this case, it is better to go to a professional hospital to find a professional doctor for consultation, which can not only ensure the authenticity of the conclusion, but also let the stone in your heart fall to the ground.
