There are several reasons why children who study well are more likely to be depressed:
1.Excessive pressure: Many parents and society often evaluate "good children" by a single criterion, i.e., academic performance. In such a situation, children who study well may face more pressure, and they may need to put in more time and effort in order to maintain excellent grades. Prolonged stress can lead to psychological problems, including depression.
2.Lack of self-worth: Excessive focus on academic performance can lead to a skewed perception of self-worth. If a child only measures their worth by grades, they may feel extremely lost and helpless once their grades slip, which can lead to depression.
3.Social pressure: Children who study well tend to invest a lot of time in academics, which can leave them with insufficient time and energy to deal with relationship problems. And adolescent children are particularly susceptible to social stress, and when they feel isolated or excluded, the risk of depression increases.
4.Accumulation of anxiety: Long-term stress, skewed sense of self-worth, and social stress can lead to a build-up of anxiety in children. If this emotion is not effectively channeled and released, it may eventually develop into depression.
5.Psychologically fragile: Children who study well may become psychologically fragile and less tolerant of setbacks due to too much focus on grades. Once they encounter difficulties or failures, they may feel overwhelmed, which in turn can lead to depression.
6.Lack of mental health knowledge: Some children and parents may have insufficient awareness of mental health and believe that only physical or mental illnesses are needed**. This perception may lead them to choose to ignore or cope on their own when they experience depressive symptoms, which can worsen the problem.
In summary, the reasons why children who study well are more likely to be depressed include excessive stress, lack of self-worth, social pressure, accumulation of anxiety, psychological fragility, and lack of mental health knowledge. Therefore, parents and society should pay more attention to and publicize mental health, and at the same time pay attention to children's mental health and provide necessary support and help.
