生活：或许内心的伤痛也就自己能懂

导读:疾病分为两种：身体疾病和心理疾病。随着社会和经济的发展，人们承受的心理压力也越来越大，有时甚至还会演变成心理疾病。不幸的是，患者有时候不仅要面临孤独无援的现实，还要忍受污名的折磨。

Anxiety and depression; common buzzwords we regularly see plastered across social media.

焦虑和抑郁是我们通过社交媒体经常看到的流行词。

Thanks to events such as World mental Health Day last week, our attention is increasingly drawn to the issue of mental health in our society.

多亏了上周的世界心理健康日这样的活动，我们的注意力才越来越集中到了社会中的精神健康问题。

In fact, students are facing these issues in increasing numbers. In a recent survey, one in four admitted to suffering from mental health issues, with depression and anxiety topping the list of the study by YouGov. But, do people actually understand what these words mean?

事实上，学生们正面临着越来越多的问题。在最近的一项调查中，四分之一的人承认忍受着精神健康问题的折磨，其中抑郁和焦虑在舆论调查网的研究中高居榜首。但是，人们真的了解这些词语的意思吗？

The image that society so often presents us with is of sad, lonely individuals.

通常社会呈现给我们的形象是悲伤、孤独的个体。

The fact is that students of all genders and backgrounds can be subject to mental health issues, but the sad truth of the matter is that there is a general reluctance to admit to it.

其实，无论是男生还是女生，也无论是来自于什么背景的学生，都有可能遭受心理健康问题的折磨，但是事情的可悲真相在于大家往往不愿意承认。

Even if students do speak out, there is a dire shortage of resources to help them and then the social stigma to contend with.

即使是学生们说了出来，能够帮到他们的资源也少得可怜，而后他们还要与社会污名作斗争。

If you say to someone ’I have anxiety’, their train of thought is so often predictable: they believe you merely overthink things, you’re paranoid they say.

如果你对某人说“我很焦虑”，那么他们的一系列想法往往是可以预见的：他们相信你只是多虑了，并会说你太过偏执。

’Just chill’, ’Be more confident in yourself’,’You shouldn’t worry so much about these things’; responses I’ve heard over and over again when the topic arises, as if with this advice, my concerns - which have given me so many sleepless nights - will simply melt away.

“冷静下来”，“更加相信自己”，“你不应该过于担心这些事情”；当这种话题出现的时候，此类答复便会不绝于耳，好像有了这些建议那些使我经常夜里失眠的担忧便会烟消云散。
