Face Depression Bravely: Mental Self-help Notes for Patients with Major Depression

Depression is a very terrible psychological disease, even a "psychological cancer" said. Even
people who study mental illness can't fully understand the horror of depression if they don't
have it.

I used to be a major depressive disorder patient, because before adulthood has been in the
family violence environment, so the symptoms of depression from when I was a teenager has
been presented, but then I don't know what happened, don't know what you're into the state,
of course, more who do not know themselves are already suffering from mental illness.



Fortunately, perhaps because of God's mercy, or because of my extraordinary tenacity of life,
I was fortunate enough to find some psychological adjustment methods, and then accidentally
realized self-rescue. Even now, as a middle-aged man, I often inadvertently fall into that
depressed and painful state of mind. I was tested using the international standard SDS
psychological self-assessment form for depression, and the results showed that I was still a
major depressive disorder. The recurring entanglement of the disease is evident. I have
friends whom I know have this problem. We all need some way to help ourselves psychologically.
