"I also heard from a friend who is studying medicine before that there seems to be something called smile depression."
Cen Li explained to everyone, “These patients usually smile in front of others due to work, self-esteem, etiquette and other needs. Only when they are alone or facing close people will they show depression-related symptoms such as loss and pain.
It mostly occurs in people with high income, high education, and high status."
"If you put it like this, it really suits you Aunt Lin..."
After Cai Hongming heard this, he looked at Lin Tong and said, "Honey, tell me the truth, have you had any thoughts of committing suicide recently?"
Lin Tong hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, I have encountered a lot of things recently, and it is easy to think wildly, and then I feel that life is meaningless, but usually I will be fine the next day after I wake up."
"Hey, how could you think so!"
Grandma Cai's eyes were so anxious that her eyes were red. She held Lin Tong's hand and said, "My child, you are very good. What should we do if something happens to you?"
Lin Tong's heart felt sour and her eyes were moist, "Mother-in-law, I don't know why. You are obviously very good to me, but I always feel as if no one cares about me. I feel very helpless and lonely..."
"Silly boy, we love you so much, how can you think like this?" Grandma Cai wiped Lin Tong's tears distressedly.
Lin Tong choked and shook her head, "Yes, my family is very kind to me. I don't know why I think that."
"Aunt Lin, this is all caused by depression." At this time, Cen Li said, "When depression attacks, you will be trapped in your own emotions. It is difficult to think of positive things. You will often become suspicious and feel
I have a terminal illness or something."
"Yes, yes, I have been having headaches recently, my heartbeat is racing, and I have difficulty breathing. I have been to the hospital several times, but nothing has been found." Lin Tong said quickly.
"If this is the case, Auntie, you have begun to have somatization symptoms. The situation is not serious. My suggestion is to seek medical treatment as soon as possible." Cen Li said with a slightly serious face.
"Don't worry, I will definitely go see it."
Cai Hongming quickly said, "Hey, this depression is really rare. We don't know about it. If you hadn't reminded us, we wouldn't have thought about it at all."
Lin Tong also nodded and said, "Yes, I don't hide my illness and avoid medical treatment. If I have a problem, I go for a check-up. But who would have thought that it is actually a mental problem."
Cen Li also knew about this problem.
The topic of depression had not attracted much attention when she died in her previous life. Many people thought it was because she was in a bad mood or had a pretentious personality.
Little do they know that this is a mental illness, not a simple emotional problem.
Therefore, many people without awareness slowly develop into severe depression, which is even more difficult to treat.
If depression can be intervened before it becomes serious, there is a high chance that it can be cured.
"Xiao Li, thank you uncle, but now I plan to take your aunt to see a doctor first."
Cai Hongming said, pulling Lin Tong to stand up, "When you are free another day, uncle will treat you to dinner and thank you very much."
"You're welcome, uncle. You've helped me a lot, as you should." Cen Li quickly waved her hand.
"I didn't expect it to be this disease."
After the people left, Grandma Cai said worriedly, "Xiao Li, can this disease be cured? Tongtong is so pitiful. The childbirth has not been cured yet, so why is another disease coming!"
