In recent years, there has been an increase in reports of various adverse events caused by mental illness. This may reflect a gradual increase in people's life and work pressures, which can sometimes feel overwhelming. However, it is often the more serious mental illnesses that attract the most attention. Therefore, it is particularly important to pay attention to mental health!
It would be beneficial to consider some of the potential causes of psychological disorders in modern people.
1. A challenging work environment
In today's fast-paced world, many of us are facing high-intensity work pressures that can sometimes lead to feelings of being trapped. It's not uncommon for people to experience long periods of high tension, without having the opportunity to relax and adjust. Over time, this can contribute to symptoms such as anxiety, restlessness, and depression. In some cases, these symptoms can develop into more severe psychological disorders or illnesses.
From a physiological perspective, it is possible that if an individual is always in a highly stressed state, it could potentially lead to endocrine dysfunction and a decline in immunity, which could in turn cause various physical and mental illnesses and even potentially lead to death from overwork.
2. Relationship and family changes
It would seem that, at the present time, there are an increasing number of cases of psychological problems caused by emotional setbacks and marital changes. It is undoubtedly the case that being heartbroken is a painful emotional experience. It is likely that the person who has lost their love will be miserable because they cannot let go of the relationship. It is possible that the sense of loss may exacerbate the psychological imbalance. Some people may develop psychological disorders or even irrational extreme behaviors as a result, which could cause irreparable harm to the other person and themselves.
3. Reliance on the Internet
While the Internet has undoubtedly made our lives and work easier, it is important to consider the potential negative effects. Young people, in particular, often have a strong interest in the Internet, and spending time online has become a significant part of their lives.
It is beneficial to use the Internet properly, but it is important to be aware that spending a lot of time online every day or visiting unhealthy websites may potentially lead to psychological disorders in Internet users. For example, if you spend a long time chatting, playing games or falling in love online, you may become detached from real life due to prolonged virtual existence, which may affect your perception of normal life, emotions and psychological orientation. In severe cases, even personality fragmentation may occur.
4. Overly heavy schoolwork
It is worth noting that students at the primary and secondary school levels often face a considerable academic workload, particularly those in junior and senior high school. They frequently encounter pressure from an array of reading and review materials, as well as the sincere expectations of their parents and teachers to gain admission to a reputable institution. It is important to recognize that individuals at all educational levels, including those in primary school, middle school, and college, may experience a range of psychological challenges.
It would be beneficial to be aware that the psychological symptoms caused by exam stress may include overreaction and slow reaction, anxiety, fear of learning, depression, and school refusal.
I hope this finds you well. Please accept my best wishes for the future. Yi Xinli, Social Worker
