After a long holiday, primary and secondary schools as well as universities have recently resumed classes, and office workers have returned to work. Returning to the track of study or work, many people are prone to anxiety, tension, and other emotions. How to better adapt to the pace of starting work and school? How to maintain physical and mental health? At a recent press conference held by the National Health Commission, several experts in the field of mental health and mental well-being interpreted this. Children and adolescents accept emotions, scientifically guide the end of the Spring Festival holiday, and students face the problem of adapting to school. Cui Yonghua, chief physician of Beijing Children's Hospital affiliated with Capital Medical University, pointed out that the difference in rhythm between holidays and campus life can easily lead to problems such as "difficulty in concentration", anxiety, and social pressure in students. It is recommended that parents and schools guide children to accept their emotional changes and reduce stress and adjust their emotions through appropriate exercise, relaxation training, and other methods. At the same time, adjust the work and rest time in advance, according to the school's work and rest arrangements, avoid staying up late, and gradually adapt to the new pace of life. In addition, developing a reasonable study plan and actively participating in social activities are effective ways to alleviate the anxiety of starting school. In recent years, some hospitals have successively opened specialized clinics such as "Learning Difficulties Clinic" and "Refusal to Attend School Clinic". What kind of "learning difficulties" require seeking medical attention at such clinics? The establishment of learning difficulties and aversion to learning clinics, as well as refusal to learn clinics, reflects a response from the medical community to the growth difficulties faced by children and adolescents Wu Renrong, chief physician of Xiangya Second Hospital of Central South University, introduced that by using common names such as "learning difficulties" or "refusing to go to school", parents can be more proactive and targeted in bringing their children for medical treatment. The outpatient clinic for learning difficulties and aversion to learning integrates professional resources from multiple disciplines such as child psychiatry, psychology, and education, which can help parents and children identify the root causes of problems and provide targeted treatment and intervention. Wu Renrong explained that learning difficulties and aversion to learning among children and adolescents may be related to developmental issues or psychological problems. Developmental problems, including emotional fluctuations during adolescence and learning difficulties caused by lack of short-term motivation, can often be alleviated by optimizing the family atmosphere and improving the learning environment. It is recommended that parents use relaxed conversations instead of urging, nagging, and complaining, creating a relaxed and inclusive family atmosphere, jointly agreeing on a study plan with their children, stimulating their inner learning motivation, and arranging leisure activities reasonably. Another type is caused by mental and psychological problems, including learning difficulties caused by attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or emotional disorders Wu Renrong reminds that if a child exhibits learning difficulties, truancy, or even school suspension for a long period of time, it should be given sufficient attention, seek medical attention in a timely manner, and have a professional physician evaluate whether there are potential mental and psychological problems. Wu Renrong emphasized that we should approach the issue of children's "learning difficulties" rationally, be alert to potential mental health problems, and not excessively medicalize developmental issues in children and adolescents. How to seek help if a child has psychological problems? Cui Yonghua introduced that school psychological counseling rooms, off campus professional psychological counseling institutions, and the national unified psychological assistance hotline "12356" are all channels through which teenagers can seek help. For more serious psychological problems, it is recommended to seek professional help. At the same time, emotional support from family and society is also an important guarantee for the mental health of adolescents. Adults relax their spirits and reduce internal friction. Just after the Spring Festival, many people are still immersed in the atmosphere of the holiday. Some people feel physically and mentally exhausted, unable to lift their spirits, and experience sleep disorders. How to do a good job of self-regulation after a long vacation? Regarding this, Qiao Ying, chief physician of Shanghai Mental Health Center, gave three suggestions: adjust daily routine, ensure sufficient sleep, and try to maintain 7-8 hours of sleep every night; Pay attention to diet, relieve stress on the gastrointestinal tract after the holiday, have regular meals with a balanced diet of meat and vegetables, maintain sufficient water intake, and engage in exercise such as brisk walking, cycling, running, aerobics, skipping rope, etc; Reasonably arrange work plans, make a list based on the importance and urgency of tasks, and give yourself encouragement and rewards for completing each task. In terms of emotional and stress management, Qiao Ying suggests learning to recognize one's own emotions, not trying to control them, but experiencing them. By asking oneself questions such as "What's wrong with me?" "Why am I getting angry?" "What are my needs?" and so on, one can change their thinking patterns; At the same time, doing some relaxation training, such as breathing exercises, can help relieve tense emotions; Finally, one must find a suitable way to express emotions, such as painting, which is a great way to express inner emotions through colors, strokes, and lines. Recently, there have been many popular psychological assessment scales online. How to rationally view the assessment results? Qiao Ying introduced that the vast majority of online psychological assessment tools are "self-assessment" tools, such as personality assessments, anxiety and depression assessments, etc., which should be treated rationally and scientifically screened. If you find that you have certain psychological tendencies, you should seek support and assistance from professional institutions in a timely manner. Qiao Ying reminds that online psychological assessment scales have certain limitations, usually only having limited prompts and lacking scientific and personalized guidance. Participants may misunderstand or not fully understand the questions, resulting in inaccurate measurement results. In addition, online psychological assessment scales can generally only provide one-sided evaluations from one or a few specific dimensions, with limited reference value. Some scales have a tendency towards entertainment and commercialization, and are not developed using scientific methods. Regarding the current popular mental health-related buzzwords in society, such as "relaxation" and "mental exhaustion", Huang Xuebing, chief physician of Peking University Sixth Hospital, said that the emergence of these online buzzwords reflects the attention of the whole society to mental health and also reflects the popularization of mental health knowledge. She reminded that anxiety and depression can manifest both mentally, such as worry, tension, and excessive pessimism, as well as physically, such as unexplained palpitations, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and poor appetite, which are often difficult to identify. When experiencing unexplained physical discomfort symptoms, it is recommended to first go to the hospital for a physical examination. After ruling out organic diseases, it can be considered whether it is related to mental factors. Through systematic and targeted treatment, most symptoms can be eliminated. Emotional connection among the elderly, avoiding isolation. During the Spring Festival, children, relatives and friends gather around the elderly from all directions like swallows returning to their nests; After the Spring Festival, they flew away from the old man like swallows. The festive, lively, reunion, and relaxed family atmosphere suddenly disappears, and some elderly people find it difficult to adapt to this contrast emotionally and psychologically, leading to symptoms such as low mood, depression, fatigue, loss of appetite, insomnia, and irritability. After entering old age, physical functions will gradually decline, cognitive functions will decrease, and psychological adaptability will weaken. On the other hand, after entering old age, social roles change and family structures also undergo some changes, including various physical illnesses, which can lead to sadness, loneliness, loss, and a sense of worthlessness among the elderly population. In severe cases, it can cause common mental and psychological problems such as anxiety, depression, and insomnia Zhang Qing'e, chief physician of Beijing Anding Hospital affiliated with Capital Medical University, stated that psychological support for the elderly should comprehensively consider their psychological, physiological, and social needs, with a focus on prevention. Research has found that many chronic physical illnesses are closely related to mental and psychological health. Patients with chronic physical diseases have a significantly increased risk of developing anxiety and depression compared to healthy individuals. On the contrary, anxiety, depression, and insomnia can also affect the prognosis of chronic diseases. Zhang Qing'e suggests that elderly people should understand and accept their own aging process, and actively accept changes in their environment and social roles. At the same time, one should also pay attention to their own needs and feelings, do a good job in personal health management, and focus on their physical and mental health. For children and family members, Zhang Qing'e suggests that we should care for and love the elderly, and consciously establish emotional connections with them. For example, regular phone calls, videos, and frequent visits to the elderly are recommended to increase the frequency of meetings and communication time, making them feel "needed". In addition, Zhang Qing'e also suggests that elderly friends can participate in more social activities, expand their social circle, avoid social isolation, maintain mental activity, and increase their sense of self-identity. For example, actively participating in health science popularization lectures, interest groups, choirs, etc. organized by village committees and community organizations. At the same time, it can cultivate a wide range of interests and hobbies, and actively utilize one's "residual heat". (New Society)
