matters needing attention

It is suggested that we should pay attention to: in fact, a considerable number of patients are suffering from various kinds of physical pain, and they have been kept in the general hospital for a long time. They have repeatedly checked their bodies, but no reason can be found out. It seems that it is difficult to take all kinds of analgesic drugs. Therefore, it is particularly recommended here that if you have pain symptoms without clear medical evidence, you might as well consider going to the psychological clinic or psychiatric clinic. Maybe you are already depressed. You may think that there is no relationship between pain and depression. In fact, studies show that there is a relationship. When our body has no symptoms of pain, and a long time and can not recover, and there are certain symptoms of depression. It is suggested that we should go to the psychiatric department of the regular hospital for examination as soon as possible.
