High Temperature Is Easy To Cause "Emotional Heat Stroke" &Nbsp.

Recently, the hot weather continued to appear, the mood of "heatstroke" more and more citizens, the reporter interviewed Harbin First Specialist Hospital director, psychological problem expert Zhang Congpei and senior psychological consultant Shen Yanling.

Causes:

Continuous high temperature stimulates the human body

With the continuous high temperature in the preceding period, the number of heatstroke patients and some chronic diseases in hah city hospitals increased, and high temperature became the chief culprit of many diseases. At the same time, there are many patients suffering from heat stroke induced by high temperature in Harbin. The specific symptoms are emotional instability, anxiety, irritability and uneasiness. At the same time, the body will be accompanied by head pain, chest distress, rapid heartbeat and poor sleep. This is also an emotional response induced by hot weather, and this bad emotional reaction will bring some interference to study, work and life.

Zhang Congpei, director of the first specialist hospital and psychological expert, pointed out that people's emotions are closely related to the external environment. When the continuous hot weather and the external environment change, the impact of this small environment will also change. Generally speaking, the low-temperature environment is conducive to human mental stability. Once the temperature increases, the body's feelings, emotions and spirits will fluctuate. It will not only cause physical unfitness, but also have a negative impact on people's psychology and mood, resulting in emotional agitation, restlessness, love tantrums, sticky fire, memory loss and so on.

Data show that about 16% of the normal population will suffer from "emotional heat stroke" in summer. Especially when the temperature exceeds 35 degrees, the sunshine is more than 12 hours and humidity is higher than 80%, the influence of meteorological conditions on the emotional regulation center of the hypothalamus in the human body will obviously increase, and the proportion of physiological heat stroke and "emotional heat stroke" will increase sharply.

Shen Yanling, a senior psychological consultant, pointed out that when the public felt the following symptoms appeared, they were already suffering from heat stroke. First, emotional irritability, often because of trivial matters, and family members or colleagues to make a complaint, and they feel that the heart is hot, confused, unable to settle down to think about problems, often forgetful of things forgotten; two, low mood, no interest in anything, feel that life is not strong, lack of enthusiasm for colleagues and family members, this situation is better in the morning, worse in the afternoon, worse in the evening, three is eccentric behavior, often stubbornly repeat some simple actions in life.

How to get rid of it?

Both physical and psychological cooling

Zhang Congpei, a psychologist, said that getting rid of the emotional "heat stroke" is achieved mainly through two ways, one is physical cooling from the physical point of view. The two is psychological cooling, mainly by relaxing the mood, so that the state of mind calm down.

Physiological cooling includes ventilation of the room, timely replenish of water, adequate rest, and keeping oneself in a cool and well ventilated environment. Zhang Congpei said that the internal cause of "emotional heatstroke" is, in the final analysis, the poor adaptability of the body to the environment. Therefore, in the hot high temperature environment, we should increase the rest time as much as possible, and pay attention to diet adjustment, increase nutrition, and pay attention to the regimen of summer.

Psychological cooling refers to solving the "emotional heat stroke" mainly by self-regulation. For example, adjusting the sitting time, replenish water and vitamins in time, eating more appetizers and avoiding eating cold food are all conducive to adjusting their emotions. Psychological regulation is very important in preventing and treating "emotional heatstroke". So the more hot it is, the more calm you will be. When you are upset, you can listen to a relaxing music, pay attention to cultivating romantic feelings, imagine the cool picture of woods, blue sky and sea, let your thoughts roam in the iceberg snow peak or the cold and biting north wind, and think of the northern scenery of "thousands of miles of ice, snow drift", in order to forget the heat wave attack and reduce the mental heat. As long as we do not want to worry about things, think of happy things and keep a good humor, we can forget the hot summer heat.

Shen Yanling, a senior psychological consultant, believes that good mental state is the basis and key to prevent "emotional heatstroke". She said, "calm and cool." This seemingly simple sentence contains profound truth. It is necessary to have a correct recognition of things and things, accept all the arrangements given by the environment, take the initiative to perceive their own emotional and physical discomfort and adjust them in a timely manner, consciously arrange activities to adjust their physical and mental state, such as swimming, outing, participating in psychological salons, etc., consciously drink the time ordered diet (light, drinking water, etc.) and arrange work and rest time. We need to point out that good mentality comes from peacetime training, especially to cultivate a psychological state of not complaining or judging. This is the only way to maintain a calm mind. When we change our mindset into one of our habits, the ability to adapt to the environment and the ability to solve problems will be greatly enhanced and improved. There is a mutual influence between emotion and body. A person with peace of mind and mental health is relatively normal in basic environment and physiological function under high temperature.

Shen Yanling said, for example, this year's college entrance examination in Harbin caught up with the hot weather. The children with peace of mind must be able to play normally. They will not be disturbed on the spot due to changes in the environment and temperature. Traditional Chinese medicine often refers to "keeping the heart and the pulse open". This shows the importance of mental health.

Finally, experts stressed that the high temperature is not terrible. People should face the summer with a calm mind and adjust their body and mind in a correct way.
