My friend recently complained to me that her child was suffering from depression, but her temper became very irritable, often cursing and hitting people, and she didn't know what to do anymore.

This situation, which is no longer an exception, has been reported by many families of depressed patients, and this situation is almost a common worry for most depressed patients and their families.

As we all know, depressed patients are very sensitive, and their negative emotions are very much, which is a very normal situation, but facing such a situation is difficult for the family members, which will make them very painful. Today I bring some ways to deal with depressed patients in the right way, I hope it can help depressed patients and their families.

First of all, if we want to get along with depressed people, we have to get inside their hearts, understand why they are like this, what causes them to be like this, and what kind of disease is depression. Understanding this will do us a lot of good in getting along with people with depression.

Depressed people usually feel sad, feel that their life is worthless, and feel guilty about what they have done. Severely depressed people can affect their sleep, diet, life, and work and even some depressed people tend to commit suicide and self-harm. Depressed people are a group of people who need our attention.

In the eyes of depressed people, the whole world is gray, heavy, and despairing. This color is very depressing and overwhelming, and severely depressed people are like deflated balls, and they are powerless to change the status quo.

By all the manifestations, depression is a very serious illness that needs to be taken seriously by us and needs to be taken seriously instead of being misunderstood as too fragile, hypocritical, etc.

Many families of depressed people are concerned about what to do when a depressed person is angry.

We need to observe in what kind of situation they are angry, whether it is about a certain thing or a certain person, to find the right reason to find the right way.

If he is just angry at a certain thing or a certain scenario, then we have to communicate with him when he is calm, ask him the reason for his anger, and feel his sensitive area, to avoid touching his sore spot.

If he is for some specific people to ship, then we also want to promptly ask him what is wrong, what kind of things happened, where this person will make you feel angry, find the right reason, and timely processing.

If none of the above, he is just randomly angry, then it is possible that the following situations.

1. If he was originally a grumpy person before he got the disease is such a person, then this situation is not related to depression, because he was originally a grumpy person, which is a factor of personality. Faced with such a person, then what we have to do is to protect ourselves from being hurt, although he is depressed, this is not an excuse for him to hurt others at will.

2. If he is an introvert, not good at expressing emotions, knows how to hold back, and is suffering from depression before he gets angry, in this case, it is a signal that he is making changes, he began to express his feelings and dissatisfaction, which is a good thing but also to tell him some better way to deal with it.

3. If he is suffering from depression after this, and there are other situations, then we should be alert to whether he has other mental illnesses, and promptly take it to the doctor.

Depression is a common mental illness, it is not terrible, but what is terrible is that depressed people are deep in it, and are not willing to save themselves, not willing to go to the doctor, this situation is the most terrible. Depression is not an incurable disease, it can be in treatment.
