Generally speaking, patients with mood disorders not only experience emotional symptoms such as irritability, worry, and depression, but they also often experience various physical discomforts, such as headaches, insomnia, fatigue, or other unexplained pains. Unfortunately, most patients are unaware of their condition or do not receive appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Recent medical research has shown that in addition to the patient's personal personality, growth experience and other environmental factors, the cause of emotional illness is the loss of chemical transmitters in the patient's brain (such as serotonin, epinephrine, glutamate, aminobutyric acid and dopamine, etc.) Balance is also an important reason. This physiological change can negatively affect the patient's mood. In fact, mood disorders are like other diseases. As long as the patient receives appropriate treatment, the disease can be controlled, cured and prevented.
According to surveys, many patients with emotional illnesses do not know they are suffering from the disease or which type of emotional illness they suffer from, so they do not seek effective professional help early. One reason is that they simply don't understand how to recognize emotional illness. Another reason is that mood disorders may cause physical discomfort, such as headaches, neck pain, fatigue, heart palpitations, dizziness, ringing in the ears, chest discomfort, and weight gain or loss. Therefore, patients and their families often think that there is something wrong with their body, but most of the results of physical examination are normal. This will delay patients from receiving effective treatment, worsen the condition, and even cause complications. It's a small thing to waste money, but it's a big thing to suffer in the long run. Below are the symptoms, thought and behavior patterns, preliminary self-tests, and related reports and information on seven common emotional illnesses. The purpose is to help people who may suffer from emotional illnesses understand various emotional illnesses and seek professional evaluation and treatment as soon as possible.
