Two minutes ago, he saw a 1 -minute test on the Internet to test depression. Because of his poor mood for several days, he performed himself.

Mr. Zhou's network testing depression was screenshot of "severe depression" results. Mr. Zhou provided

"I feel that I have been quite normal. How can the degree of depression be so serious?" On the 15th, Mr. Zhou logged in to Wuhan City Message Board Consultation. Online self -test depression was reliable?

Test "severe depression" in one minute. Is it reliable for self -testing on online depression?

Mr. Zhou is engaged in product production in a company in Hankou and is the backbone of the company's business. In daily life, he likes swimming, archery, and collecting electronic products, and is a "Lotte" in the eyes of his colleagues.

Recently, Mr. Zhou's work has encountered some difficulties. A project he was in charge has not made progress for a week. After staying up late for a few days, he always feels that he is dizzy, panic, low emotional, irritable, and can't eat. Not working hard. Some colleagues joked with him, "Are you depressed?"

He does not mean that. Mr. Zhou had doubts, searching for depression related information on the Internet at 22:00 on the 13th. He found a lot of "one -minute self -test depression" tweets, and found a test question for self -test. One minute later, the result of "severe depression" made him "startled" and immediately made an appointment for the expert number of the Wuhan Mental Health Center online.

The next morning, Mr. Zhou's project passed the audit. His mood suddenly "shaded". The whole person was refreshing, and the discomfort was gone. "Is the online self -test depression reliable, do I still want to see a doctor?" Mr. Zhou's heart was puzzled.

According to the information provided by Mr. Zhou, the reporter from the Yangtze River Daily found that there are many self -assessment tests on various depression on the Internet. The test usually only takes 1 to 2 minutes. Tester's recent schedule, diet, emotional status, etc.

It also reminded "as much as possible to consult a professional psychologist." In some unknown test pages or applets, there are no such prompts.

Expert: The diagnosis of depression is very rigorous, and the results of self -test are not credible

Is online depression self -test effective? Professor Liao Haolei, a national first -level psychological counselor and chief physician of the Medical Department of Wuhan University, said that the self -evaluation table is not a diagnostic table. The test results can only represent the current emotional state of the tester and cannot become the basis for confirmed depression. "Only when one person continues to fall in a certain period of time, the possibility of depression is considered."

How to define "a certain time"? Liao Haolei said that different doctors will have different judgments, some are strict, some are wide, but they are roughly 2 to 2 months.

This is a psychological problem, not a psychological disease. Psychological problems are temporary negative emotions due to unwavering in life or emotions. As long as you solve this discomfort or accept reality, you can solve the problem. Psychological diseases need to be resolved with the help of professional doctors.

Liao Haolei told reporters that the doctor's diagnosis of depression is very rigorous. In addition to a series of measurement table tests, at least half an hour of conversation with patients should be conducted. "It is not recommended that you diagnose depression through self -testing of the Internet, sometimes you scare yourself."

What if citizens suspect that they have depression? Liao Haolei suggested that it can be verified from two aspects. The first is symptoms. Is there symptoms such as low mood, slow thinking, weight loss, poor diet and sleep? The second is time. Does the above symptoms last for a long time? If both aspects exist, you can find a professional doctor for the final diagnosis.

"Even if you are diagnosed with depression, you don't need to panic." Liao Haolei said that with the advancement of medical and medical technology, there are already many methods that can effectively treat depression. Clinical results show that at least 85%of patients with depression can cure systemic treatment.

He said that for patients with mild moderate, it is not recommended to take medicine, and it can be changed and treated from three aspects. The first is to enrich your life and spiritual world, so that you don't have much time and energy to think about it. The second is to get in touch with happy people, near Zhu Zichi, and emotions will be infected. The third is to help others. This can not only contribute to the society, but also get the affirmation and gratitude of others, which meets the emotional value of patients with depression.
