See what methods celebrities use to get out of depression~

The famous Austrian psychologist Freud mentioned in "Mourning and Melancholy": The most prominent characteristics of melancholia are extremely painful depression, disinterest in the external world, loss of the ability to love, and low self-evaluation, so that it is expressed through self-condemnation. When this situation reaches the extreme, one may even falsely expect to be punished, and the ultimate experience of punishment is death.

According to the World Health Organization's suicide rate statistics, South Korea has the highest suicide rate in Asia. South Korean artist Park Jin-hee once took depression among entertainment stars as her graduation thesis topic. After surveying 260 Korean entertainers, she found that 40% suffered from depression and had had suicidal thoughts.

The current situation in the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan is also not optimistic. According to media reports, nearly 90% of artists in the Hong Kong entertainment industry are prone to depression. Leslie Cheung and Chen Baolian both committed suicide by jumping off a building due to severe depression. ； Dozens of celebrities, including Sammi Cheng, Daniel Wu, Zhang Huimei, Nick Cheung, Yang Kun, Zhang Jingchu, Zhang Jie, Yao Di, Fiona Sit, Fan Xiaoxuan, Wang Jie, etc., have publicly admitted that they have suffered from depression. ； In Europe and the United States, well-known Hollywood movie stars Heath Ledger and Robin Williams all chose to end their lives due to depression. Britney Spears, Nicole Kidman, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Lady Gaga also all had painful experiences of depression.

Fortunately, there is medicine to treat depression. Stars such as Sammi Cheng, Fan Xiaoxuan, Cui Yongyuan, Bai Yansong, and Yang Kun have all landed safely on the parabola of life and death. They used their own personal experiences to illustrate: Depression is not terrible, it requires the right approach, sufficient time, and more understanding.

Chen Kun: Meditation helps others

Chen Kun, who grew up in a poor family, set goals for himself when he was a teenager: rent a house, make money, buy a house in installments, work hard to pay off the house, travel, eat delicious food, eat hotpot mutton... This was his entire life plan, but this long-term plan was all completed after he became famous after starring in the drama "Golden Fen Family".

From 2003 to 2006, Chen Kun's life changed dramatically. It seems like I got everything. Then, confusion came, what else could I do? When I didn’t have a house to live in, I felt that I had hope and goals in life. I hoped to have something through my own efforts.

During that time, Chen Kun said he suffered from depression. I had insomnia all night long, was world-weary, pessimistic, and felt that life was meaningless. I got close to the window several times and almost jumped out.

After going through many hardships, Chen Kun found a way, which is to "meditate". Meditating is a way to quieten your mind.

Chen Kun once posted on Weibo: “When meditating, your back must be straight. ”He also said in the comment area: “The back half of the buttocks needs to be elevated, and can be padded with cotton pads or thinner pillows. In this way, the waist can be straightened naturally and the disadvantage of slowly bending the back due to psoas muscle fatigue during meditation can be avoided. The head is upright, the neck is straight, and the mandible is slightly retracted. Touch the tongue to the roof of the mouth. After you sit down, put a mirror in front of you to see if your head is upright and find the correct feeling of having your head upright and your neck upright. This automatically corrects imbalances and qi in the body. ”

He seeks the meaning of wealth and life, and uses his wealth and resources to help more people. Helping others is helping yourself. If you don't recognize this, you will always be led by wealth and your heart will be passive. ； When we take the initiative, we become our own masters. Talk to yourself and be your own master.

Li Ruotong: Starting work again

Anyone who knows Li Ruotong's experience knows that she is a sensitive and affectionate person. She is an aunt and a fairy sister in the eyes of countless people. After experiencing emotional hardships and ups and downs in life, she became depressed until she met Chow Yun-fat.

She talked with Chow Yun-fat about her experiences in the past few years and said that she had done nothing but sadness in these years.

After hearing this, Chow Yun-fat asked: "Are you still filming? ”

Li Ruotong said: "No. ”

Then Chow Yun-fat said in surprise: "How can people not work? ”

A word that woke up a sad person, and this sentence completely woke up Li Ruotong. In the years since her debut, she has experienced popularity, disappearance, pain, comeback and calmness...it has already turned into the ups and downs of her life.

As she said on her 54th birthday: "I also want to thank myself - at this moment, I am more calm and determined than before. I only hope that I can maintain my current calm state of mind and healthy body in the future life. Keep your heart moving forward and make your life more dynamic. It is enough to wish.

It doesn't matter what you have encountered or experienced. The most important thing is to know how to start over and start from the heart. Life is never defined by others, we all have to live it well. ”

Xu Wei: Keep exercising and adjust your mood

As the soul of China's contemporary rock music industry, Xu Wei's musical journey has been full of ups and downs. Underneath the talented and glamorous surface seen by outsiders, there is confusion, despair, poverty and hardship along the way. He was once overwhelmed by the pressure and suffered from depression.

Xu Wei said: “I am under a lot of pressure, living alone for a long time and not communicating with friends. Coupled with the contrast between ideal and reality, I couldn't explain it to my family. ”He once revealed that he had to have someone with him when his illness was at its worst because he was always thinking about ending his life and needed to take antidepressant medication at the time.

Xu Wei relied on constant exercise to suppress his depression. He began to read some psychology books, trying to find answers. Later, he came into contact with some people with good attitudes and found that they didn't take him seriously. Only then did he realize that in order to enter a virtuous cycle, he had to get rid of his negative emotions.

Li Lanni: Keep writing and live a wonderful life

Writer Li Lanni once suffered from depression and cancer. She once used this concise sentence to describe the pain she experienced: “Depression is more terrifying than cancer. ”

In 1988, when she was only 32 years old, she suffered from lymphoma. During the treatment, she underwent multiple surgeries and chemotherapy. The attack of the disease made her miserable for many times. Faced with the double torture of cancer and depression, she continued to write. She said she wanted to live to be a witness and let people see that depression is not terrible and that it can be cured.

In 2008, Li Lanni completed her first work "No One in the Wilderness". In this work, Li Lanni provided a mental file for patients with depression. As a writer, she uses pen and ink to record her own mental illness, hoping to help more people in the same situation.

What Li Lanni especially wants to tell everyone is that no matter you are a doctor or a patient, whether you are a teacher or a student, you should think about it from the other person's perspective, think more about the help you have received and the blessings you have received, and worry less about your resentment or the so-called unfair treatment you have received.

Celebrities have better wealth and resources, but they will also be attacked by depression. They need to adjust their bodies and minds, face life more peacefully and openly, and redeem themselves.

At the end of the writing, I want to say that auxiliary methods such as religion, fitness, and social interaction can help alleviate depression to a certain extent, but patients must not have the illusion of "getting out on their own." For depression, "medical treatment is fundamental. ”When medical treatment brings us back, we can use various other methods that suit us to make our mentality peaceful, stable, and healthy. The mind, like the body, needs care, care, love, fulcrum and support in order to be healthy and less likely to get sick. May each of us find the meaning of life and live happily.
