抑郁焦慮?7款減壓應用推薦給你
上周,知名設(shè)計師凱特·絲蓓和美食節(jié)目主持人安東尼·波爾頓自殺的消息占據(jù)各大頭條,也引發(fā)美國探討心理健康的熱潮。 在絲蓓去世幾天后,美國疾病控制與預防中心發(fā)布的一份新研究顯示,過去三十年美國自殺數(shù)據(jù)呈不斷上升趨勢,令人頗為不安。 研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn),研究期間自殺者身亡時超過一半并未診斷出心理疾病,專家指出心理疾病的嚴重性可能遭到低估。 疾病控制與預防中心的報告顯示,心理疾病只是引發(fā)自殺風險的誘因之一,其他因素還包括感情不順、藥物濫用、身體健康問題、工作或金錢相關(guān)壓力,以及法律或住房問題等等。 對于生活在抑郁或焦慮中的人們來說,有很多方式可以改進心情并減輕絕望情緒,例如心理治療或服用藥物。但身處數(shù)字時代,很多人也在智能手機上尋求幫助,比如使用行為健康應用。 雖說手機應用沒法完全取代專業(yè)援助,但勝在方便,它可以為人們提供更多支持,也能提供管理負面情緒的工具。 以下列出七個應用(iOS和安卓用戶均可使用),既有互助聊天室也有情感跟蹤工具,都有助于自我情緒管理。 |
The suicides of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain captured?last week’s headlines, sparking a much-needed national conversation about mental health. Just days after Spade’s death, new research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed an unsettling increase in suicides across the United States over the past three decades. Researchers found that more than half of the people who died of suicide during the study did not have a reported mental health diagnosis at the time of death, but experts note that mental health conditions most likely were underreported. In addition to mental illness, other issues, including relationship problems, substance abuse, physical health problems, job- or money-related stress, legal or housing problems often contributed to risk for suicide, the CDC report found. For those living with depression or anxiety, there are a variety of treatment options available to help improve mood and reduce hopelessness, such as psychotherapy or prescription medication. However, in today’s digital age, many are turning to the additional support available at the touch of a screen — behavioral health apps. While a phone application cannot completely replace professional help, their accessibility provides an additional source of support and a tool to help manage negative thoughts. Whether it’s a peer-support chat room or a mood-tracker, these seven apps (which are all available for both iOS and Android users) can be extremely useful tools for practicing self-care. |
