抑郁症是什么？

What is Depression?

有人说，抑郁症是一种孤独的病。

它就像是氧气瓶中氧气即将耗尽的一场潜水。在周围的伙伴还在欣赏海底的奇幻绚丽的时候，只有自己在体验缺氧中双眼发黑的窒息感，原本呼救的声音被深海吞噬，原本求救的动作被水压限制，周围纷繁嘈杂，世界却只剩自己。

Some people say that being under depression is being lonely.

It"s like a dive where the oxygen in the tank is about to run out. When the friends around me are still admiring the fantasy and splendor of the ocean, only I am experiencing the suffocation of my eyes being blackened in the lack of oxygen.The call for help was swallowed by the deep sea, and was restricted by the water pressure. The surroundings were noisy, but I was left all by myself.

From: Weibo 雪代薰

我以为他们能把多余的氧气分我一些，但是氧气充足的人觉得是我太紧张敏感所以呼吸不畅；氧气刚好够用的人选择明哲保身，告诉我他们也自顾不暇，于是我在求援的过程中不断失望乃至绝望，最后沉没在深海里，孑然一身。

I thought they could share some of the excess oxygen with me, but those with sufficient oxygen believed that I was too nervous and sensitive to breathe smoothly; those with just enough oxygen chose to play it safe and told me that they were busy taking care of themselves. Constantly disappointed and even desperate, finally sank in the deep sea, alone.

有很大一部分的人在看待抑郁症患者的时候，总是将“矫情”、“想得太多”、“敏感”、“悲观”等负面消极的词汇和抑郁的症状划上等号——这就是公众普遍对抑郁症最大的误解。

When a large number of people look at patients with depression, they always link negative words such as "hypocritical", "overthinking", "sensitive", and "pessimistic" with the symptoms of depression, which is the biggest misconception the public has about depression.

抑郁症是一组病因未明、症状复杂的常见精神类疾病。世界卫生组织2020年1月发布数据显示，全球抑郁症患者人群累计超过2.64亿，每年有80万人因抑郁死亡，中国泛抑郁状态者逾9500万人，并且近八成的抑郁症患者甚至都没有被发现。——抑郁症已成为世界第二大疾病，仅次于心血管疾病。

Depression is a common mental illnesses with unknown etiology and complex symptoms. According to data released by the WHO in January 2020, the total number of patients with depression in the world exceeds 264 million, and 800,000 people die of depression every year. There are more than 95 million people in China with depression, andnearly 80% of patients with depression are not even been diagnosed. Depression has become the 2nd largest disease in the world, only after cardiovascular disease.

近年来，随着社会压力的增强和生活节奏的加速，抑郁症的发病率迅速上升。而处于身心健康发育关键时期的青少年群体，成为了抑郁症的高发人群。

In recent years, with the enhancement of social pressure and the acceleration of the life pace, the incidence of depression has risen rapidly. Adolescents who are in a critical period of physical and mental health development have become a group with a high incidence of depression.

今年年初上映的、田晓鹏导演的作品《深海》就讲述了一位抑郁症女孩的心路历程。女主参宿的父母离异、她被迫寄人篱下，久而久之患上了严重的抑郁症，症状爆发的那天正逢雷雨，在游轮上的参宿痛不欲生，选择了投海赴死。

Released at the beginning of this year, the work "Deep Sea"directed by Tian Xiaopeng tells the story of a girl with depression. The heroine Sansuke"s parents divorced, and she was forced to live in another family. Over time, she suffered from severe depression. On the day when the symptoms broke out, there was a thunderstorm. On the cruise ship, Sansuke was so distressed that she chose to throw herself into the ocean.

巡游艺人南河舍身将她从死神手中抢了回来，然而自己却丧失了生命。在抑郁症的痛苦与间接将南河害死的愧疚的双重折磨下，心理的自保机制为参宿生成了一个怪诞诡异的童话世界——深海大饭店。她在想象中的深海世界中与南河冒险，被南河治愈，在醒来的那一霎那，铺天盖地的痛苦席卷而来，她却突然意识到自己并不孤独。

The tour artist Nanhe saved her, but lost his life. Tortured by the pain of depression and the guilt of indirectly killing Nanhe, her psychological self-preservation mechanism created a weird and dreamlike fairy tale world - the Deep Sea Hotel. She ventured with Nanhe in the imaginary deep sea world, and was healed. The moment she woke up, overwhelming pain swept over her,but she suddenly realized that she was not alone.

这是一个前期轻松搞笑，后期却赚足眼泪的影片——导演田晓鹏将青少年抑郁症这个话题完完整整、甚至有些残忍地展现在了公众的眼前，让观众们深刻地意识到了一件事：

青少年的心理健康，理应在如今的社会环境中，受到更加多的关注。我们呼吁各位家长多关注自己孩子的心理状态，不要对任何一种异常的情况轻易下定论，也不要讳疾忌医。

This is a film that was easy and funny in the beginning, but sad in the end. Director Tian presented the topic of teenager depression in a complete and even cruel way to the public, making the audience deeply aware of one thing:

The mental health of teenagers deserves more attention in currentsociaty. We appeal to all parents to pay more attention to the psychological state of your children,not to draw conclusions easily on any abnormal situation, and not to refusemedical treatment.

关注学生心理健康

Students" Mental Health

深美外籍人员子女学校与其他大部分国际学校不同的地方在于，我们不仅仅培养学生在学术上面的能力，我们更加注重的是学生的全面发展。发展心理学表明，和生理发育一样，心理发育也分为不同的阶段。

The difference between SAIS and most other international schools is that we not only cultivate students" academic ability, but also pay much attention to the overall development of students. Developmental psychology shows that, like physical, psychological development is also divided into different stages.

青春期是一个人身心发育都极其重要的时期，我们不希望深美的孩子们在这样关键的人生阶段仅仅关注于考了多少分、拿了多少offer。学术固然重要，但是健康的人格发展对孩子们的光明未来更是大有裨益。

Adolescence is an extremely important period for a person"s physical and mental development. We don"t want SAISers to only focus on how many test scores and how many offers they got at such a critical life stage. Academics does mean a lot, but healthy personality development is even more beneficial to children"s future.

我们希望每一位从深美走出去的学生，都能自信、积极、负责、包容、勇敢，更重要的是，我们希望他们都能够享受生活、热爱自己。

We hope that every SAISer can be confident, active, responsible, tolerant, and brave. More importantly, we hope that they can enjoy life and love themselves.
