Li Meijin’s method of treating depression
Introduction:
Depression is a common psychological disorder that brings great trouble and distress to patients. In order to help patients with depression get out of trouble, Li Meijin uses a series of effective treatment methods. These methods combine cognitive behavioral therapy, medication, and psychological support to provide comprehensive and effective depression treatment.
1. Cognitive reconstruction: changing negative thinking patterns
Many depressed patients have negative thinking patterns and have excessive negative evaluations of themselves, others and events. By establishing a trusting relationship with patients, Li Meijin guides them to gradually recognize this negative way of thinking and make rational corrections.
She encourages patients to record and analyze negative thoughts that occur every day. For example, \"I am a loser\" may be triggered by a failure experience. Then, verify the truth of these negative thoughts by talking to the patient and looking for evidence. On this basis, Li Meijin guides patients to develop positive reflection methods and set reasonable goals to change their views on themselves and the world around them.
2. Medication: Assisting in regulating emotions
Drug treatment is one of the commonly used and effective methods for depression. Li Meijin will consult with the doctor and recommend appropriate drugs based on the patient\'s specific conditions. Antidepressants can help regulate insufficient neurotransmitter secretion in the brain and relieve patients\' anxiety, depression and other negative emotions.
However, Li Meijin emphasized that drugs are only an auxiliary means in the treatment process, and side effects need to be closely monitored and discussed with doctors in a timely manner during use. She also reminded patients to take their medications on time as directed by their doctors, and to cooperate with other psychotherapeutic methods for overall recovery.
3. Psychological support: establishing a safe space and a platform for talking.
Psychological support is an important part of helping patients with depression overcome difficulties. Li Meijin is committed to providing a safe and inclusive treatment space, allowing patients to vent their emotions, talk about their inner confusion, and reduce depression.
She establishes good interactive relationships with patients through authentic and gentle communication, and uses active listening skills to effectively understand the distress they experience. At the same time, Li Meijin will encourage patients to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude during the treatment process, and help them find things that are of personal interest or that can give happiness to relieve negative emotions.
4. Continuous follow-up: preventing relapse and promoting recovery
Depression is a psychological disorder that may relapse, so continuous follow-up is very necessary. Li Meijin emphasized that regular follow-up visits are crucial to monitor the patient\'s condition and prevent recurrence. At the same time, she will also teach patients self-management skills and play a guiding role in improving the quality of daily life and avoiding risk factors.
Li Meijin uses methods such as cognitive reconstruction, drug treatment, psychological support and continuous follow-up to effectively treat depression. Through these comprehensive interventions, she helps patients change negative thought patterns, regulate emotions, establish safe spaces, and prevent relapse. The application of these methods provides comprehensive and effective psychological rehabilitation programs for patients with depression.
