Died of SM because of depression? Tell you the cause of Kimi's death.
Yesterday, the news of Kimi's sudden death, a 28-year-old actor, detonated the entertainment circle and caused widespread public discussion. I hardly touch entertainment news, and I have never heard of this actor before. However, I found that many netizens lacked rationality when discussing the incident, and many big V just expressed shock and condolences. However, this reminds us once again that everyone is equal in the face of "depression", and there is another list of artists and celebrities who committed suicide because of "depression". Judging from the details of the report, Joe probably died of depression and committed suicide. Many of his living conditions have signs of suicide, but unfortunately they have not been taken seriously, or there may be a lack of systematic and professional treatment.
Therefore, as a doctor and expert in psychopsychology, I feel it necessary to express my professional voice and analyze how to avoid this tragedy, hoping to arouse the actors and the public to face up to and pay attention to mental illness.
Or suffer from depression because it is difficult to get rid of the characters in the play.
There are many reasons for depression, but we don't know the actual reason of Kimi. But one thing can't be ignored. It is reported that Joe often suffered from insomnia after shooting the movie Death Mail. He may have suffered from depression at that time. This detail reminds me of a generation of superstar Leslie Cheung who also committed suicide due to depression. There are different opinions about the causes of Leslie Cheung's depression, but there is a theory that Leslie Cheung's depression is because he can't get out of the plot, characters and state in the play after filming.
For many excellent actors, they have extremely high self-requirements. When acting, they need to put their true emotions into the inner world of the role they play, and even live with the help of the state of the role at that time, in order to express the emotions and inner world of the role incisively and vividly. Even, the performance of these characters may awaken or cause the deep wounds of the actors, which is no less than sprinkling salt on the wounds.
For these actors, if they shoot for a long time and are extremely involved in the role, it is easy to enter a state where it is difficult to distinguish their lives from the roles they play. If the character is tragic, then he has been immersed in grief for a long time, and this negative emotion has established a solid conditional launch with the character.
After the film or TV series is finished, this strong conditioned reflex is not easy to be eliminated, or even continuously strengthened. The actors are still in the role state, and it is difficult to get away and return to their own lives, which may eventually lead to depression.
Leslie Cheung and Jimmy may have similar problems. I suggest that these actors who can't get away from their roles after acting should receive psychotherapy to eliminate the above-mentioned conditioned reflex and help them get rid of the negative emotions brought by their roles.
In fact, this kind of occupational disease is very common in many industries. For example, the police, when performing their duties, shot or even killed gangsters in order to save hostages. Relevant departments will generally psychologically intervene these policemen afterwards to eliminate negative emotions.
Actors who play tragic roles should have psychological intervention afterwards.
In my opinion, actors who play tragic or extreme roles should also have this treatment field. Many people think that being an actor and a big star is glamorous, but the pain they suffer in filming and the negative emotions brought by their roles are actually unimaginable to ordinary people.
Of course, the factors of depression are often not single. If Kimi is really depressed, there should be other factors, such as the pressure of becoming famous and the emotional distress after becoming a star.
It is reported that he took antidepressants before his death, but failed to completely eliminate his inner pain. Kimi, in order to maintain the image of a public figure, may have to be optimistic and cheerful in public. This is a typical manifestation of the so-called "smile depression". The patient is very ill, but forcing a smile will increase his psychological pressure. When he is fed up, he will suddenly say goodbye to the world.
Another point I want to point out in particular is that Kimi Agency issued a statement through the media that Joe suffered from depression because of heavy work last year and false reports and slanders from outside. This statement is actually very problematic.
Public figures are really confused and sad in the face of false reports, but they should know how to treat them correctly. This is the basic quality that public figures need. If necessary, they need to be equipped with high-level psychologists, which is even a service that brokerage companies must provide, instead of blindly making actors become money-making machines of brokerage companies. If these slanders really lead to his depression, it is only an external cause, not the root cause. From the most basic cognitive psychology theory, it is not the external stimuli that lead to negative emotions, but the views and opinions on these stimuli. I have treated many cases of depression. Many people experienced depression in middle school, which was not completely cured, but was induced by other blows or setbacks in later life.
Therefore, for depression, we need systematic and professional treatment, especially in-depth psychological intervention, to find the cause of depression from the root and solve it. However, at present, the services provided by domestic psychological service personnel are not enough, and they are often only single drug treatment. Even if there is psychotherapy, it is relatively simple. This is a very serious problem at present, and it is very urgent to remind us to increase in-depth psychological intervention.
There is little possibility of accidental death because of playing SM.
As for Kimi's death, there are some reports that he died unexpectedly while playing SM. I think this possibility is very small. However, I also want to expand the topic of SM a little here and correct the public's prejudice against SM. SM has always been a secret and curious topic. Many people think that people who play SM are abnormal and dirty. In fact, from a professional point of view, SM addiction is only one of many sexual psychological disorders, and it is still a relatively common one.
The reason of SM addiction often comes from the bad stimulation of addicts when they are young, and some bad information on the Internet adds fuel to the flames, thus establishing pathological conditioned reflex at the subconscious level. They have sexual impulses and even sexual excitement in the process of abuse or abuse. Some readers speculated that Joe died playing SM, probably because the police informed Joe that he suffocated with a plastic bag on his head before he died. Indeed, some masochistic addicts like to wrap their heads in plastic bags and enjoy the pleasure of lack of oxygen.
However, there is no need for the public to be secretive about SM. This kind of crowd has always existed, and the number is quite large. Some people just regard it as a way to arouse sexual impulses and don't care. However, more and more people are troubled by it. They want to solve it, escape it, but don't want to face it.
In fact, SM addiction is also a pathological conditioned reflex at the subconscious level. It can completely eliminate the original conditioned reflex and rebuild a new conditioned reflex through deep psychological intervention when the patient is deeply relaxed or hypnotized. This is much faster than drugs and general psychological counseling.
Another possibility is that Kimi suffers from depression and SM addiction at the same time, which is a co-morbid relationship. Many people are ashamed to talk about it because of SM addiction, and their psychological pressure is getting bigger and bigger, which, combined with other factors, eventually leads to depression.
I hope more stars can pay attention to mental health.
Whatever the possibility, these problems can be solved from the perspective of psychopsychology. The parties concerned should face it bravely and seek standardized, professional and systematic treatment. I have to point out that the treatment of mental illness in China is far from enough. Psychiatrists in hospitals usually only use drugs, ignoring psychological factors, family factors and social factors behind diseases, and often only look at "diseases" rather than "people"; Psychological counseling institutions in society often only provide shallow psychological counseling, and the intervention is too weak.
The truly scientific treatment should be systematic, efficient, professional and humanized, especially requiring deep psychological intervention. I have done a lot of treatments for addiction, depression or their comorbidity in clinic, which proves that these mental and psychological diseases can be cured quickly by eliminating subconscious pathological conditional emission, supplemented by drugs and family treatment if necessary.
Mr Kimi has passed away, and the deceased is the most important, so we should respect him. I want to discuss this incident not to gossip about his privacy, but to think that everyone can do some introspection from it and how to improve and avoid it. I hope his death will make the public and entertainment stars pay more attention to their mental health. If Joe's tragedy can make more people face up to their psychological problems and seek help, it may be a comfort to him who is already in heaven.
I especially like the eight-character motto of the feast master of National Taiwan University: face, accept, deal with and let go. I hope everyone can use these eight-character proverbs to calmly face all kinds of problems in life. For the wise, every blow or setback is a rare opportunity for the soul to improve itself.
