Take care of your mental health
疫情之下，我们该如何做好心理防护？
You may be able to care for your physical health by wearing a mask, washing your hands, and doing regular exercise during the coronavirus epidemic (疫情), but how do you treat your mental health? Millions of people are facing fear, anxiety and depression as lockdowns, transportation bans and quarantines (隔离期) continue.
As part of the government’s “first level response”, the National Health Commission said more than 300 hotlines are now available throughout China. Callers can talk with counseling (咨询) services and people from university psychology departments, Reuters reported. Depending on your location, you can call one of these 24-hour hotlines for psychological support and general advice if you’re experiencing anxiety, depression or panic attacks – no matter whether you’re a patient, medical worker or just someone stuck at home.
A survey conducted by the Chinese Psychology Society found that of the 18,000 people tested for coronavirus-related anxiety, 42.6 percent were anxious, according to NBC News.
“A stable state of mind can help reduce irritability (易怒) and agitation (焦虑不安), which is helpful for treatment. Providing psychological counseling and appropriate medicine, psychiatry (心理治疗) can play an important role in the battle against the epidemic,” said Chen Jun, an expert from the Shanghai Mental Health Center, on CCTV.
A healthy mind supports a healthy body. Stress weakens the immune system, according to the American Psychological Association. Managing stress may help people fight off a virus.
In addition to hotlines, online platforms and social media have also offered support to those dealing with the mental strain (压力) of worrying about the virus. One virus-related hashtag (话题), which translates as “how to deal with feeling very anxious at home,” has been viewed by hundreds of millions of Sina Weibo users.
Universities have set up support groups on QQ, while thousands of doctors provide counseling for users on JD.com. KnowYourself, a public WeChat account, hopes to reduce panic attacks to frontline medical workers, patients and their families.
“People are scared, their lives are being interrupted, so to have a voice that helps to reassure (使安心) them and calm them and kind of guide them through this process can be very helpful,” Paul Yin, a psychologist in Beijing, said.
Keeping a positive mindset is key during this difficult time. Remember to keep things in perspective (客观看待) and maintain social networks with your family and friends. Treat your mind well, and your body will follow.
