How should depression be treated?

Patient's question:

Three years ago, I wanted to jump off the rooftop because some classmates in my class had some objections to me, and their actions were a bit excessive. My parents broke up, and after thinking about it, I gave up on my grandparents because they raised me. This summer vacation, I knew I didn't want to eat but ended up eating anyway. I had to go to the hospital to have my stomach pumped. I always have nightmares where I'm being killed or where I'm killing someone. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to visit the psychological department of the hospital for an examination and, if necessary, receive professional treatment in a timely manner. In daily life, it is hoped that you can relax your mind, learn to regulate your emotions, often go outdoors for walks when feeling down, engage in many tennis and fitness activities, listen to cheerful music, sing, write diaries, and chat with family and friends about happy topics. Learn to vent your inner negative emotions through appropriate channels and alleviate psychological stress.
