on the eve of the start of school, the shanghai municipal education commission issued a notice, clearly stating that the completion of students' summer homework should not be used as the basis for registration for the new semester. it reiterated that paper-and-pencil tests should not be organized within two weeks of the start of school, and students' academic burden should not be arbitrarily increased.

the mental health of students is increasingly attracting widespread attention from the whole society. when requiring the implementation of disease prevention education and paying close attention to the diseases that are prone to occur in autumn, the shanghai municipal education commission especially emphasized that we should pay close attention to the mental health of students. primary and secondary schools should hold at least one class meeting on mental health education before and after the start of school. before the start of school, tutors should pay attention to the thoughts, emotions and living conditions of paired students.

a reporter from china business news recently learned from a clinician at the shanghai mental health center that, generally speaking, students come to the hospital for psychological counseling two weeks after the start of school, mainly due to academic pressure. for this reason, the shanghai mental health center has also set up a special clinic for "learning difficulties."

in a popular science article published on august 31, the department of psychology of renji hospital affiliated to shanghai jiao tong university school of medicine mentioned a seasonal affective disorder called "autumn depression", and believed that the phenomenon of depression in autumn is very common and should be a cause for concern.

according to reports, "autumn depression" is characterized by the recurrence of depressive symptoms in the autumn and winter each year, such as low mood, loss of interest or pleasure, lack of energy or fatigue, low self-esteem, pessimism and despair about the future, and self-harm or suicidal ideas or behaviors; accompanied by atypical depressive symptoms such as increased sleep, increased appetite and weight gain.

seasonal depression often recurs for more than two years, and each episode lasts at least two weeks. it is more common among people who are under great stress, introverted, sensitive and suspicious, menopausal women, pregnant women or the elderly. it is worth noting that some school-age children are also prone to seasonal depression.

chen jun, chief physician of shanghai mental health center, told the first financial reporter that seasonal depression is also related to sunlight and hormone secretion. current research shows that the main treatments for seasonal depression include fluorescent light therapy, drug therapy and psychotherapy.

so-called "fluorescent light therapy" refers to the exposure of patients with seasonal depression to white fluorescent light of a specific wavelength and without ultraviolet rays for at least 30 minutes a day.

"fluorescent lamp therapy is effective in treating seasonal depression and has been included in the guidelines for the prevention and treatment of depression, but the relevant technology has not yet been approved in china," chen jun told the reporter from china business news. in this case, drug therapy and psychotherapy are the conventional means of clinical treatment for depression. chen jun said that a regular schedule is very important for students' mental health. they must develop the habit of going to bed early and getting up early. it is best to do some outdoor activities after breakfast. parents should also pay more attention to their children's interactions with classmates and cultivate their cheerful personalities.
