For a really long time,
0
1357
1571
一直以来
00:14
I had two mysteries奥秘
that were hanging over me.
1
2952
3134
有两个迷团一直困扰着我。
00:18
I didn't understand理解 them
2
6689
2261
我无法理解它们,
00:20
and, to be honest诚实, I was quite相当 afraid害怕
to look into them.
3
8974
2903
而且说实话,我害怕深究它们。
00:24
The first mystery神秘 was, I'm 40 years年份 old,
4
12349
3547
第一个谜团是,我40岁了,
00:27
and all throughout始终 my lifetime一生,
year after year,
5
15920
3071
在我一生中,年复一年,
00:31
serious严重 depression萧条 and anxiety焦虑 have risen上升,
6
19015
3356
严重的抑郁和焦虑症状
00:34
in the United联合的 States状态, in Britain英国,
7
22395
2690
在美国,英国等国家
不断浮现出来,
00:37
and across横过 the Western西 world世界.
8
25109
1754
横扫整个西方世界。
00:39
And I wanted to understand理解 why.
9
27173
2928
我想要搞清楚为什么。
00:43
Why is this happening事件 to us?
10
31108
1867
为什么这开始发生在我们身上?
00:45
Why is it that with each year that passes通行证,
11
33394
2642
为什么过去的每一年里,
00:48
more and more of us are finding发现 it harder更难
to get through通过 the day?
12
36060
3254
我们越来越多人发现
更难以度过每一天?
00:51
And I wanted to understand理解 this
because of a more personal个人 mystery神秘.
13
39743
3557
我想要理解这个是因为
一个很私人的谜团。
00:55
When I was a teenager青少年,
14
43324
1389
当我还是10来岁时,
00:56
I remember记得 going to my doctor医生
15
44737
1421
我记得有一次去看医生,
00:58
and explaining说明 that I had this feeling感觉,
like pain疼痛 was leaking泄漏 out of me.
16
46182
4485
说我总觉得浑身疼痛。
01:03
I couldn't不能 control控制 it,
17
51237
1396
我不能控制它,
01:04
I didn't understand理解 why it was happening事件,
18
52657
2285
我不理解为什么它会出现,
01:06
I felt quite相当 ashamed羞愧 of it.
19
54966
2055
并且感到非常羞耻。
01:09
And my doctor医生 told me a story故事
20
57045
1596
医生告诉我了一个
01:10
that I now realize实现 was well-intentioned用心良苦,
21
58665
2013
现在我意识到是出于好意的故事,
01:12
but quite相当 oversimplified过于简单.
22
60702
1692
但太过于简化。
01:14
Not totally完全 wrong错误.
23
62418
1168
并非全错。
01:15
My doctor医生 said, "We know
why people get like this.
24
63610
2792
我医生说,“我们知道
人们为什么会这样。
01:18
Some people just naturally自然 get
a chemical化学 imbalance失调 in their heads --
25
66426
4232
有些人的大脑很自然地
会发生一些化学失衡——
01:22
you're clearly明确地 one of them.
26
70682
1421
你显然是其中一个。
01:24
All we need to do is give you some drugs毒品,
27
72127
1984
我们要做的就是给你开一些药,
它就会把你的化学平衡
恢复正常。”
01:26
it will get your chemical化学
balance平衡 back to normal正常."
28
74135
2364
所以我开始服用帕罗西汀
或类似的药物。
01:28
So I started开始 taking服用 a drug药物
called Paxil帕罗西汀 or Seroxat塞罗塞特,
29
76523
2410
一个东西在不同国家
有不同的名字。
01:30
it's the same相同 thing with different不同 names
in different不同 countries国家.
30
78957
3026
然后我感觉好了很多,
也受到了很大的鼓舞。
01:34
And I felt much better,
I got a real真实 boost促进.
31
82007
2483
01:36
But not very long afterwards之后,
32
84514
1411
但随后不久,
这种疼痛的感觉回来了。
01:37
this feeling感觉 of pain疼痛 started开始 to come back.
33
85949
2001
01:39
So I was given特定 higher更高 and higher更高 doses剂量
34
87974
1828
所以我使用越来越高的剂量,
01:41
until直到, for 13 years年份, I was taking服用
the maximum最大值 possible可能 dose剂量
35
89826
3211
直到后来的13年,
我都在服用法律允许的最高剂量。
01:45
that you're legally法律上 allowed允许 to take.
36
93061
2016
01:47
And for a lot of those 13 years年份,
and pretty漂亮 much all the time by the end结束,
37
95402
3469
在这13年的大部分时候,
差不多一直到最后,
我仍然很痛苦。
01:50
I was still in a lot of pain疼痛.
38
98895
1500
01:52
And I started开始 asking myself,
"What's going on here?
39
100419
2976
我开始问自己,“这是怎么回事?”
01:55
Because you're doing everything
40
103419
1542
因为你按照主导文化所说的
做了所有的事情——
01:56
you're told to do by the story故事
that's dominating主导 the culture文化 --
41
104985
3140
为什么你仍然会有这样的感受?
02:00
why do you still feel like this?"
42
108149
2119
02:02
So to get to the bottom底部
of these two mysteries奥秘,
43
110292
2872
所以为了揭开这两个谜团的谜底,
02:05
for a book that I've written书面
44
113188
1408
为了我写的一本书,
02:06
I ended结束 up going on a big journey旅程
all over the world世界,
45
114620
2505
我进行了一场环球旅行,
02:09
I traveled旅行 over 40,000 miles英里.
46
117149
1419
旅途超过4万英里。
02:10
I wanted to sit with the leading领导
experts专家 in the world世界
47
118592
2493
我想跟世界一流的专家坐在一起
讨论是什么引发了抑郁和焦虑,
02:13
about what causes原因 depression萧条 and anxiety焦虑
48
121109
2167
02:15
and crucially关键, what solves解决了 them,
49
123300
1872
并且最重要的是:
有什么治愈方法,
02:17
and people who have come through通过
depression萧条 and anxiety焦虑
50
125196
2624
以及那些经历过抑郁和焦虑的人
02:19
and out the other side
in all sorts排序 of ways方法.
51
127844
2112
是如何以各种方式走出来的。
02:21
And I learned学到了 a huge巨大 amount
52
129980
1486
我一路走来,
从我认识的那些,
02:23
from the amazing惊人 people
I got to know along沿 the way.
53
131490
2555
了不起的人身上学到了很多。
02:26
But I think at the heart
of what I learned学到了 is,
54
134069
2976
但我认为
我所学到的最核心的是,
02:29
so far, we have scientific科学 evidence证据
55
137069
3035
目前为止,科学依据能够证明
02:32
for nine different不同 causes原因
of depression萧条 and anxiety焦虑.
56
140128
3707
有9种不同的
引发抑郁和焦虑的原因。
02:35
Two of them are indeed确实 in our biology生物学.
57
143859
2809
其中两个确实是由于生理因素。
02:38
Your genes基因 can make you
more sensitive敏感 to these problems问题,
58
146692
2683
你的基因会让你
对这些问题更敏感,
02:41
though虽然 they don't write your destiny命运.
59
149399
1934
虽然它们不能决定你的命运。
02:43
And there are real真实 brain changes变化
that can happen发生 when you become成为 depressed郁闷
60
151357
3611
当你变得抑郁时,
你的大脑会发生实质的变化,
02:46
that can make it harder更难 to get out.
61
154992
1698
让你更难摆脱出来。
02:48
But most of the factors因素
that have been proven证明
62
156714
2182
但绝大部分被证实
02:50
to cause原因 depression萧条 and anxiety焦虑
63
158920
1841
引发抑郁和焦虑的因素
02:52
are not in our biology生物学.
64
160785
1765
跟我们的生理因素无关,
02:55
They are factors因素 in the way we live生活.
65
163520
2214
而主要取决于我们的生活方式。
02:58
And once一旦 you understand理解 them,
66
166116
1491
一旦你理解了它们,
02:59
it opens打开 up a very different不同
set of solutions解决方案
67
167631
3096
就能开启一套
非常不同的解决方案,
应该和化学抗抑郁药
03:02
that should be offered提供 to people
68
170751
1548
一起提供给人们。
03:04
alongside并肩 the option选项
of chemical化学 antidepressants抗抑郁药.
69
172323
2937
03:07
For example,
70
175284
1793
比如,
03:09
if you're lonely孤独, you're more likely容易
to become成为 depressed郁闷.
71
177101
3448
如果你很孤独,
你很可能会变得抑郁。
03:12
If, when you go to work,
you don't have any control控制 over your job工作,
72
180573
3111
如果,当你工作时,你对
自己的工作没有控制权,
03:15
you've just got to do what you're told,
73
183708
1896
你得按照吩咐去做,
03:17
you're more likely容易 to become成为 depressed郁闷.
74
185628
1889
你就更可能变得抑郁。
03:19
If you very rarely很少 get out
into the natural自然 world世界,
75
187541
2484
如果你很少接触自然世界,
03:22
you're more likely容易 to become成为 depressed郁闷.
76
190049
1869
你更可能变得抑郁。
03:23
And one thing unites联信 a lot of the causes原因
of depression萧条 and anxiety焦虑
77
191942
3111
有一件事情把所有
我所知道的抑郁和焦虑
03:27
that I learned学到了 about.
78
195077
1175
联系在一起。
03:28
Not all of them, but a lot of them.
79
196276
2063
不是所有,但很多。
03:30
Everyone大家 here knows知道
80
198363
1666
这里每个人都知道,
03:32
you've all got natural自然
physical物理 needs需求, right?
81
200053
2659
你们都有自然的生理需求,对吧?
03:34
Obviously明显.
82
202736
1174
显然。
03:35
You need food餐饮, you need water,
83
203934
2579
你需要食物,你需要水,
03:38
you need shelter庇护, you need clean清洁 air空气.
84
206537
2230
你需要住所,你需要干净的空气。
03:40
If I took those things away from you,
85
208791
1794
如果我拿走那些东西,
你们都会很快就陷入巨大的困境。
03:42
you'd all be in real真实 trouble麻烦, real真实 fast快速.
86
210609
2293
03:44
But at the same相同 time,
87
212926
1802
但同时,
03:46
ever human人的 being存在
has natural自然 psychological心理 needs需求.
88
214752
3371
每个人都有自然的心理需求,
03:50
You need to feel you belong属于.
89
218147
2039
你需要有归属感。
03:52
You need to feel your life
has meaning含义 and purpose目的.
90
220210
3064
你需要感到
你的生活有意义和目的。
03:55
You need to feel that people
see you and value you.
91
223298
2531
你需要感到人们关注你并重视你。
03:57
You need to feel you've got
a future未来 that makes品牌 sense.
92
225853
2557
你需要感觉
你有一个有意义的未来。
04:00
And this culture文化 we built内置
is good at lots of things.
93
228434
3048
我们建立的这种文化
擅长很多事情。
04:03
And many许多 things are better
than in the past过去 --
94
231506
2160
很多事情比过去好多了——
我很高兴生活在今天。
04:05
I'm glad高兴 to be alive today今天.
95
233690
1321
但我们对满足这些
04:07
But we've我们已经 been getting得到 less and less good
96
235035
1964
04:09
at meeting会议 these deep,
underlying底层 psychological心理 needs需求.
97
237023
4101
深层次的心理需求
越来越不擅长了。
04:13
And it's not the only thing
that's going on,
98
241895
2103
这并不是唯一的原因,
但我认为是这场危机
不断升级的关键原因。
04:16
but I think it's the key reason原因
why this crisis危机 keeps保持 rising升起 and rising升起.
99
244022
4047
04:20
And I found发现 this really hard to absorb吸收.
100
248919
3230
我发现这很难理解。
04:24
I really wrestled搏斗 with the idea理念
101
252173
2706
我真的很纠结于这个想法:
04:26
of shifting from thinking思维 of my depression萧条
as just a problem问题 in my brain,
102
254903
4406
把我的抑郁症
从一个仅仅是我大脑中的问题,
04:31
to one with many许多 causes原因,
103
259333
1167
转变成一个有很多
04:32
including包含 many许多 in the way we're living活的.
104
260524
2061
成因的问题,
包括我们的生活方式。
04:34
And it only really began开始
to fall秋季 into place地点 for me
105
262609
2365
直到有一天,我前去采访一位
04:36
when one day, I went to interview访问
a South African非洲人 psychiatrist心理医生
106
264998
3143
名叫德里克·萨莫菲尔德的
南非精神病医生,
04:40
named命名 Dr博士. Derek德里克 Summerfield萨默.
107
268165
1801
我才真正明白了这一点。
04:41
He's a great guy.
108
269990
1151
他是个很棒的人。
04:43
And Dr博士. Summerfield萨默
happened发生 to be in Cambodia柬埔寨 in 2001,
109
271165
3714
2001年,萨莫菲尔德在柬埔寨,
04:46
when they first introduced介绍
chemical化学 antidepressants抗抑郁药
110
274903
3293
当时他们首次在那个国家
为人们引入化学抗抑郁药。
04:50
for people in that country国家.
111
278220
1732
04:51
And the local本地 doctors医生, the Cambodians柬埔寨,
had never heard听说 of these drugs毒品,
112
279976
3297
当地的柬埔寨医生
从没听过这些药物,
04:55
so they were like, what are they?
113
283297
1591
所以,他们问“这些是什么?”
04:56
And he explained解释.
114
284912
1214
于是他解释了。
04:58
And they said to him,
115
286150
1532
然后他们告诉他,
04:59
"We don't need them,
we've我们已经 already已经 got antidepressants抗抑郁药."
116
287706
2697
“我们不需要它们,
我们已经有抗抑郁药了。”
05:02
And he was like, "What do you mean?"
117
290427
1737
他问,“你指的是什么?”
05:04
He thought they were going to talk about
some kind of herbal草本 remedy补救,
118
292188
3239
他以为他们会谈及某种草药,
05:07
like St. John's约翰 Wort麦 汁, ginkgo银杏 biloba,
something like that.
119
295451
3772
比如圣约翰草,银杏叶之类的。
05:11
Instead代替, they told him a story故事.
120
299910
2389
反之,他们告诉他一个故事。
05:14
There was a farmer农民 in their community社区
who worked工作 in the rice白饭 fields领域.
121
302800
3579
他们社区有个农民在稻田里干活。
05:18
And one day, he stood站在 on a land土地 mine
122
306403
1770
有天,他踩到了
抗美战争时留下的地雷,
05:20
left over from the war战争
with the United联合的 States状态,
123
308197
2190
05:22
and he got his leg blown off.
124
310411
1412
他的腿被炸掉了。
05:23
So they him an artificial人造 leg,
125
311847
1436
所以他们给他装了一只假腿,
05:25
and after a while, he went back
to work in the rice白饭 fields领域.
126
313307
2771
不久之后他就回到稻田干活。
但显然,你带着假腿
05:28
But apparently显然地, it's super painful痛苦
to work under water
127
316102
2532
在水下干活非常痛疼,
05:30
when you've got an artificial人造 limb,
128
318658
1674
05:32
and I'm guessing揣测 it was pretty漂亮 traumatic创伤
129
320356
1920
而且我猜他
回到腿被炸掉的地方干活
05:34
to go back and work in the field领域
where he got blown up.
130
322300
2579
一定很痛苦。
05:36
The guy started开始 to cry all day,
131
324903
2403
这个人开始整天哭泣,
05:39
he refused拒绝 to get out of bed,
132
327330
1429
他拒绝下床,
05:40
he developed发达 all the symptoms症状
of classic经典 depression萧条.
133
328783
2883
他出现了所有
典型的抑郁症症状。
05:44
The Cambodian柬埔寨 doctor医生 said,
134
332013
1365
柬埔寨医生说,
05:45
"This is when we gave him
an antidepressant抗抑郁剂."
135
333402
2286
“就在这时
我们给他开了抗抑郁药。”
05:47
And Dr博士. Summerfield萨默 said,
"What was it?"
136
335712
2635
萨莫菲尔德医生问,“是什么药?”
05:50
They explained解释 that they went
and satSAT with him.
137
338371
2809
他们解释说,
他们过去跟他坐在一起。
05:53
They listened听了 to him.
138
341982
1400
他们倾听他。
05:56
They realized实现 that his pain疼痛 made制作 sense --
139
344464
2547
他们认识到他的痛苦合情合理——
05:59
it was hard for him to see it
in the throes阵痛 of his depression萧条,
140
347035
2921
身处沮丧的阵痛中,
他本人很难看出这一点,
06:01
but actually其实, it had perfectly完美
understandable可理解 causes原因 in his life.
141
349980
3660
但确实,这是他生活中
完全可以理解的原因。
06:05
One of the doctors医生, talking to the people
in the community社区, figured想通,
142
353966
3198
其中一个医生
和社区里的人交谈,想到,
“如果我们给这人买一头奶牛,
06:09
"You know, if we bought this guy a cow,
143
357188
1937
06:11
he could become成为 a dairy乳制品 farmer农民,
144
359149
2000
他就可以变成一个奶农了,
06:13
he wouldn't不会 be in this position位置
that was screwing拧紧 him up so much,
145
361173
3095
他就不会处在这种境地,
把自己搞得如此狼狈了,
他也不用去稻田里干活了。”
06:16
he wouldn't不会 have to go
and work in the rice白饭 fields领域."
146
364292
2507
于是他们给他买了一头奶牛。
06:18
So they bought him a cow.
147
366823
1199
没几周,他停止了哭泣,
06:20
Within a couple一对 of weeks,
his crying哭了 stopped停止,
148
368046
2180
06:22
within a month, his depression萧条 was gone走了.
149
370250
1912
不到1个月,他的抑郁症消失了。
他们跟萨莫菲尔德医生说,
06:24
They said to doctor医生 Summerfield萨默,
150
372186
1579
“所以你看,医生,那头奶牛,
就是抗抑郁药,
06:25
"So you see, doctor医生, that cow,
that was an antidepressant抗抑郁剂,
151
373789
2770
06:28
that's what you mean, right?"
152
376583
1467
那是你说的药吧?”
06:30
(Laughter笑声)
153
378074
1151
(笑声)
06:31
(Applause掌声)
154
379249
3053
(鼓掌)
06:34
If you'd been raised上调 to think
about depression萧条 the way I was,
155
382326
2873
如果你打小就和我一样
思考抑郁症,
像座大多数人这样,
06:37
and most of the people here were,
156
385223
1612
那听起来像个冷笑话,对吧?
06:38
that sounds声音 like a bad joke玩笑, right?
157
386859
1674
“我找医生开抗抑郁药,
06:40
"I went to my doctor医生
for an antidepressant抗抑郁剂,
158
388557
2024
她给了我一头奶牛。”
06:42
she gave me a cow."
159
390605
1166
但那些柬埔寨人凭直觉就知道的、
06:43
But what those Cambodian柬埔寨
doctors医生 knew知道 intuitively直观地,
160
391795
3027
06:46
based基于 on this individual个人,
unscientific不科学 anecdote轶事,
161
394846
2977
基于这个个体的,不科学的轶事,
06:49
is what the leading领导
medical body身体 in the world世界,
162
397847
3285
是世界领先的医疗机构,
06:53
the World世界 Health健康 Organization组织,
163
401156
2087
世界卫生组织,
06:55
has been trying to tell us for years年份,
164
403267
2190
多年来,
基于最好的科学证据,
06:57
based基于 on the best最好 scientific科学 evidence证据.
165
405481
2492
一直试图告诉我们的。
07:00
If you're depressed郁闷,
166
408576
1929
如果你抑郁,
07:02
if you're anxious,
167
410529
1377
如果你很焦虑,
07:05
you're not weak, you're not crazy,
168
413008
3260
你不是脆弱,你没有疯,
07:08
you're not, in the main主要,
a machine with broken破碎 parts部分.
169
416292
3585
总的来说,你不是一个
零部件坏了的机器,
07:12
You're a human人的 being存在 with unmet未满足的 needs需求.
170
420950
2534
你是个需求未被满足的人。
07:15
And it's just as important重要 to think here
about what those Cambodian柬埔寨 doctors医生
171
423919
3540
在这里,思考柬埔寨医生说的
07:19
and the World世界 Health健康 Organization组织
are not saying.
172
427483
2317
和世界卫生组织没说的同样重要。
07:21
They did not say to this farmer农民,
173
429824
1532
他们没跟这个农民说,
07:23
"Hey, buddy伙伴, you need
to pull yourself你自己 together一起.
174
431380
2801
“嘿,伙计,你需要振作起来,
07:26
It's your job工作 to figure数字 out
and fix固定 this problem问题 on your own拥有."
175
434205
3267
你得自己解决和修复这个问题。”
07:29
On the contrary相反, what they said is,
176
437851
1992
相反,他们说的是,
07:31
"We're here as a group
to pull together一起 with you,
177
439867
3524
“我们作为一个团队
来和你一起努力,
07:35
so together一起, we can figure数字 out
and fix固定 this problem问题."
178
443415
4412
所以一起,我们可以解决
和修复这个问题。”
07:40
This is what every一切 depressed郁闷 person needs需求,
179
448543
4016
这是每一个抑郁的人需要的,
07:44
and it's what every一切
depressed郁闷 person deserves值得.
180
452583
3245
并且也是
每一个抑郁的人应得的。
07:47
This is why one of the leading领导
doctors医生 at the United联合的 Nations国家,
181
455852
2987
这是为什么
有位联合国的顶尖医生,
07:50
in their official官方 statement声明
for World世界 Health健康 Day,
182
458863
2318
在2017年世界卫生日的
07:53
couple一对 of years年份 back in 2017,
183
461205
1491
官方宣言中写到,
07:54
said we need to talk less
about chemical化学 imbalances失衡
184
462720
2817
我们要少谈化学失衡,
07:57
and more about the imbalances失衡
in the way we live生活.
185
465561
3057
多谈谈我们生活方式的失衡。
08:00
Drugs毒品 give real真实 relief浮雕 to some people --
186
468920
1973
药物对有些人
有真正的缓解作用——
08:02
they gave relief浮雕 to me for a while --
187
470917
2130
它们对我有阵子也很有效——
08:05
but precisely恰恰 because this problem问题
goes deeper更深 than their biology生物学,
188
473071
4427
但因为这个问题
比他们的生物构造更深入,
08:09
the solutions解决方案 need to go much deeper更深, too.
189
477522
3055
解决方案也需要更为深入。
08:12
But when I first learned学到了 that,
190
480601
2587
但当我第一次知道的时候,
08:15
I remember记得 thinking思维,
191
483212
1683
我记得我在想,
08:16
"OK, I could see
all the scientific科学 evidence证据,
192
484919
2126
“我能看到所有的科学证据,
08:19
I read a huge巨大 number of studies学习,
193
487069
1572
我阅读了大量的研究,
08:20
I interviewed采访 a huge巨大 number of the experts专家
who were explaining说明 this,"
194
488665
3306
我采访了很多专家来
解释这一问题,”
08:23
but I kept不停 thinking思维, "How can we
possibly或者 do that?"
195
491995
2386
但我一直在想,
“我们怎么可能做到?”
08:26
The things that are making制造 us depressed郁闷
196
494405
1913
让我们抑郁的事情
08:28
are in most cases more complex复杂
than what was going on
197
496342
2491
在很多情况下比那个柬埔寨农民
08:30
with this Cambodian柬埔寨 farmer农民.
198
498857
1297
远复杂得多。
08:32
Where do we even begin开始 with that insight眼光?
199
500178
2634
基于那个观点,
我们该从哪里下手呢?
08:34
But then, in the long journey旅程 for my book,
200
502836
3249
然而后来,
在我写书的漫长旅途中,
08:38
all over the world世界,
201
506109
1571
在全球旅行中,
08:39
I kept不停 meeting会议 people
who were doing exactly究竟 that,
202
507704
2595
我不断遇到正在那样做的人,
08:42
from Sydney悉尼, to San Francisco弗朗西斯科,
203
510323
2452
从悉尼,到旧金山,
08:44
to São Paulo圣保罗.
204
512799
1172
到圣保罗。
08:45
I kept不停 meeting会议 people
who were understanding理解
205
513995
2066
我一直遇见理解引发
08:48
the deeper更深 causes原因
of depression萧条 and anxiety焦虑
206
516085
2347
抑郁和焦虑深层原因的人,
08:50
and, as groups, fixing定影 them.
207
518456
2415
并且,作为群体,修复它们。
08:52
Obviously明显, I can't tell you
about all the amazing惊人 people
208
520895
2681
显然,我不能告诉你们
我认识和写下的
08:55
I got to know and wrote about,
209
523600
1476
所有这些让人惊叹的人,
08:57
or all of the nine causes原因 of depression萧条
and anxiety焦虑 that I learned学到了 about,
210
525100
3453
或者所有我所习得的引发
抑郁和焦虑的9个原因,
因为他们不会让我做一个
10小时的TED演讲——
09:00
because they won't惯于 let me give
a 10-hour-小时 TEDTED Talk --
211
528577
2482
你们可以向他们抱怨。
09:03
you can complain抱怨 about that to them.
212
531083
1752
但如果可以的话,
我想聚焦在两个原因,
09:04
But I want to focus焦点 on two of the causes原因
213
532859
1930
09:06
and two of the solutions解决方案
that emerge出现 from them, if that's alright好的.
214
534813
3413
以及对应的两个解决方案。
09:10
Here's这里的 the first.
215
538578
1150
这是第一个。
09:12
We are the loneliest孤独 society社会
in human人的 history历史.
216
540285
3008
我们处于人类历史上
最孤独的社会。
09:15
There was a recent最近 study研究
that asked Americans美国人,
217
543317
2833
最近研究有一项研究,询问美国人
09:18
"Do you feel like you're no longer
close to anyone任何人?"
218
546174
3150
“你感觉不再跟任何人亲近了吗?”
09:21
And 39 percent百分 of people
said that described描述 them.
219
549348
3651
39%的人说这描述符合他们。
09:25
"No longer close to anyone任何人."
220
553023
1364
“不再跟任何人亲近。”
09:26
In the international国际
measurements测量 of loneliness孤单,
221
554411
2497
在国际孤独测量评估中,
09:28
Britain英国 and the rest休息 of Europe欧洲
are just behind背后 the US,
222
556932
2558
英国和其他欧洲国家仅次于美国。
09:31
in case案件 anyone任何人 here is feeling感觉 smug踌躇满志.
223
559514
1785
以防这里有人沾沾自喜。
09:33
(Laughter笑声)
224
561323
1008
(笑声)
09:34
I spent花费 a lot of time discussing讨论 this
225
562355
1889
我花了很多时间就孤独问题
09:36
with the leading领导 expert专家
in the world世界 on loneliness孤单,
226
564268
2396
和世界一流的专家交流。
09:38
an incredible难以置信 man
named命名 professor教授 John约翰 Cacioppo卡乔波,
227
566688
2254
一个非常优秀的人,
约翰·卡奇奥波教授,
他在芝加哥,
09:40
who was at Chicago芝加哥,
228
568966
1151
他的工作给我们提出了
一个问题,我想了很久。
09:42
and I thought a lot about one question
his work poses姿势 to us.
229
570141
2823
09:44
Professor教授 Cacioppo卡乔波 asked,
230
572988
2305
卡奇奥波教授问到,
09:47
"Why do we exist存在?
231
575317
1650
“我们为什么存在?
09:48
Why are we here, why are we alive?"
232
576991
1953
我们为什么在这儿,
我们为什么活着?”
09:50
One key reason原因
233
578968
2206
一个关键的原因在于
09:53
is that our ancestors祖先
on the savannas稀树草原 of Africa非洲
234
581198
2817
我们非洲大草原上的祖先
09:56
were really good at one thing.
235
584039
1720
真的非常擅长一件事情。
09:58
They weren't bigger than the animals动物
they took down a lot of the time,
236
586287
3290
他们不比很多时候
他们放倒的动物高大,
10:01
they weren't faster更快 than the animals动物
they took down a lot of the time,
237
589601
3313
他们不比很多时候
他们放倒的动物跑得更快,
但他们更擅长抱团
10:04
but they were much better
at banding带状 together一起 into groups
238
592938
2714
10:07
and cooperating合作.
239
595676
1600
与协作。
10:09
This was our superpower超级大国 as a species种类 --
240
597300
2261
这是我们作为一个物种的超能力。
10:11
we band together一起,
241
599585
1405
我们聚集在一起,
10:13
just like bees蜜蜂 evolved进化 to live生活 in a hive蜂巢,
242
601014
2476
就像蜜蜂进化到住在蜂巢中一样,
10:15
humans人类 evolved进化 to live生活 in a tribe部落.
243
603514
2232
人类进化到部落聚居。
10:17
And we are the first humans人类 ever
244
605770
3810
而我们是第一批
10:22
to disband解散 our tribes部落.
245
610492
1467
解散部落的人类。
10:24
And it is making制造 us feel awful可怕.
246
612484
2067
这让我们感到糟糕。
10:27
But it doesn't have to be this way.
247
615048
2144
但事情不一定非得这样。
10:29
One of the heroes英雄 in my book,
and in fact事实, in my life,
248
617216
2634
我书中,也是我生活中的一个英雄,
10:31
is a doctor医生 named命名 Sam山姆 Everington埃弗林顿.
249
619874
2095
是一个叫山姆·艾佛林顿的医生。
10:33
He's a general一般 practitioner从业者
in a poor较差的 part部分 of East London伦敦,
250
621993
2738
他是东伦敦贫民区的
一名全科医生,
10:36
where I lived生活 for many许多 years年份.
251
624755
1579
我在那生活过好多年。
10:38
And Sam山姆 was really uncomfortable不舒服,
252
626358
1687
山姆真的很不容易,
10:40
because he had loads负载 of patients耐心
253
628069
1556
因为很多病人
10:41
coming未来 to him with terrible可怕
depression萧条 and anxiety焦虑.
254
629649
2444
都带着严重的抑郁和焦虑来找他。
10:44
And like me, he's not opposed反对
to chemical化学 antidepressants抗抑郁药,
255
632117
2722
和我一样,
他不反对使用抗抑郁药,
他认为药物对一些人有缓解作用。
10:46
he thinks they give
some relief浮雕 to some people.
256
634863
2222
但他可以看到两件事情。
10:49
But he could see two things.
257
637109
1373
第一,他的病人很多时候
10:50
Firstly首先, his patients耐心 were depressed郁闷
and anxious a lot of the time
258
638506
3555
因为完全可以理解的理由
而抑郁和焦虑,比如说孤独。
10:54
for totally完全 understandable可理解
reasons原因, like loneliness孤单.
259
642085
3738
第二,尽管药物能给
部分人带来一些缓解。
10:57
And secondly其次, although虽然 the drugs毒品
were giving some relief浮雕 to some people,
260
645847
3444
对多数人而言,
它们无法解决问题,
11:01
for many许多 people,
they didn't solve解决 the problem问题.
261
649315
2268
11:03
The underlying底层 problem问题.
262
651607
1533
根本性的问题。
11:05
One day, Sam山姆 decided决定
to pioneer先锋 a different不同 approach途径.
263
653871
2651
一天,山姆决定
开创一种不同的方法。
11:08
A woman女人 came来了 to his center中央,
his medical center中央,
264
656546
2452
一位女性来到他的医疗中心,
11:11
called Lisa丽莎 Cunningham坎宁安.
265
659022
1467
她叫丽莎·坎宁安。
11:12
I got to know Lisa丽莎 later后来.
266
660513
1874
我后来才认识的。
11:14
And Lisa丽莎 had been shut关闭 away in her home
with crippling瘫痪 depression萧条 and anxiety焦虑
267
662411
4084
丽莎因为严重的抑郁和焦虑
被隔离家中,
11:18
for seven years年份.
268
666519
1150
长达7年。
11:20
And when she came来了 to Sam's山姆 center中央,
she was told, "Don't worry担心,
269
668898
2925
当她来到山姆的中心时,
她被告知,“不要担心,
11:23
we'll carry携带 on giving you these drugs毒品,
270
671847
1830
我们会继续给你这些药,
11:25
but we're also going to prescribe规定
something else其他.
271
673701
2797
但我们也会开一些其他东西。
11:28
We're going to prescribe规定 for you
to come here to this center中央 twice两次 a week
272
676522
3443
你需要每周来这个中心两次,
11:31
to meet遇到 with a group of other
depressed郁闷 and anxious people,
273
679989
2778
去见其他抑郁和焦虑的人们,
11:34
not to talk about how miserable you are,
274
682791
2810
不是来说你有多么不幸,
11:37
but to figure数字 out something
meaningful富有意义的 you can all do together一起
275
685625
3547
而是找出一些你们可以
一起做的有意义的事情,
11:41
so you won't惯于 be lonely孤独 and you won't惯于 feel
like life is pointless无意义."
276
689196
3103
这样你就不会感到孤独,
或是生活没有意义。
11:44
The first time this group met会见,
277
692323
2775
这些人第一次见面时,
11:47
Lisa丽莎 literally按照字面 started开始
vomiting呕吐 with anxiety焦虑,
278
695122
2256
丽莎焦虑到开始呕吐,
11:49
it was so overwhelming压倒 for her.
279
697402
1921
因为这对她而言压力非常大。
11:51
But people rubbed her back,
the group started开始 talking,
280
699347
2634
不过人们开始给她按摩,
这群人开始聊天,
11:54
they were like, "What could we do?"
281
702005
1675
“我们能做什么?”
11:55
These are inner-city内城,
East London伦敦 people like me,
282
703704
2294
这些都是和我一样
住在伦敦东部贫民区的人,
他们不懂园艺。
11:58
they didn't know anything about gardening园艺.
283
706022
2048
“为什么我们不学习园艺呢?”
12:00
They were like, "Why don't we
learn学习 gardening园艺?"

医生办公室后面有块区域
12:02
There was an area
behind背后 the doctors'医生 offices办事处
285
710363
2166
是个灌木丛。
“我们为什么不把它
改造成花园呢?”
12:04
that was just scrubland灌木丛.
286
712553
1151
12:05
"Why don't we make this into a garden花园?"
287
713728
1882
于是他们开始从图书馆借书,
12:07
They started开始 to take books图书
out of the library图书馆,

开始看YouTube视频。
12:09

他们开始把手伸进土里。
12:11
They started开始 to get

They started开始 to learn学习

291
721844
3043
他们开始学习四季的旋律。
12:16
There's a lot of evidence证据
292
724911
1330
有大量的研究表明
12:18
that exposure曝光 to the natural自然 world世界
293
726265
1629
接触自然世界
是一种非常有效的抗抑郁药。
12:19
is a really powerful强大 antidepressant抗抑郁剂.
294
727918
1976
12:21
But they started开始 to do something
even more important重要.
295
729918
3009
但他们开始做一些更重要的事情。
12:25
They started开始 to form形成 a tribe部落.
296

2024
他们开始关心彼此。
12:31
If one of them didn't show显示 up,
299
739284
1674
如果其中有个人没出现,
12:32
the others其他 would go
looking for them -- "Are you OK?"
300
740982
2520
其他人会去寻找——
“你还好吗?”
12:35
Help them figure数字 out
what was troubling令人不安 them that day.
301
743526
2611
帮助他们解决
他们那天遇到的麻烦。
就像丽莎向我说的,
12:38
The way Lisa丽莎 put it to me,
302
746161
1803
12:39
"As the garden花园 began开始 to bloom盛开,
303
747988
2597
“随着园中花朵的绽放,
12:42
we began开始 to bloom盛开."
304
750609
1267
我们也开始绽放。”
12:44
This approach途径 is called
social社会 prescribing处方,
305
752474
2032
这个方法被称为社会处方,
12:46
it's spreading传播 all over Europe欧洲.
306
754530
1515
它正在整个欧洲蔓延。
12:48
And there's a small,
but growing生长 body身体 of evidence证据
307
756069
2301
有一个小的,但不断增长的证据
表明它可以真正且有意义地
12:50
suggesting提示 it can produce生产 real真实

12:53
in depression萧条 and anxiety焦虑.
309
761298
1978
缓解抑郁和焦虑。
12:55
And one day, I remember记得
standing常设 in the garden花园
310
763300
3721
有天,我记得站在这个
12:59
that Lisa丽莎 and her once-depressed一度抑郁
friends朋友 had built内置 --
311
767045
2481
丽莎和她那些一度抑郁的
朋友建造的花园中——
13:01
it's a really beautiful美丽 garden花园 --
312
769550
1584
这真是个美丽的花园——
13:03
and having this thought,
313
771158
1191
我产生了这个想法,
13:04
it's very much inspired启发 by a guy
called professor教授 Hugh Mackay麦凯 in Australia澳大利亚.
314
772373
3871
很大程度上受到
澳大利亚的休·麦凯教授的启发。
13:08
I was thinking思维, so often经常
when people feel down in this culture文化,
315
776268
4381
我在想,当人们
在这种文化中感到沮丧时,
13:12
what we say to them -- I'm sure
everyone大家 here said it, I have --
316
780673
3064
我们是怎么跟他们说的——
我确信这里每个人这么说过,
我也说过——
“你只要做自己,做你自己。”
13:15
we say, "You just need
to be you, be yourself你自己."
317
783761
3224
13:19
And I've realized实现, actually其实,
what we should say to people is,
318
787742
2950
我已经意识到,其实,
我们应该跟人们说的是,
13:22
"Don't be you.
319
790716
1150
“别自己一个人,
13:24
Don't be yourself你自己.
320
792306
1333
不要做自己。
13:26
Be us, be we.
321
794218
2209
做我们,我们一起。
13:28
Be part部分 of a group."
322
796765
1325
成为团队的一员。”
13:30
(Applause掌声)
323
798114
3706
(鼓掌)
13:33
The solution to these problems问题
324
801844
2579
这些问题的解决方案
13:36
does not lie谎言 in drawing画画
more and more on your resources资源
325
804447
3151
并不在于把更多的资源
13:39
as an isolated孤立 individual个人 --
326
807622
1439
看作孤立个体——
13:41
that's partly部分地 what got us in this crisis危机.
327
809085
2040
这正是导致我们
陷入这场危机的部分原因。
13:43
It lies on reconnecting重新连接
with something bigger than you.
328
811149
2753
它在于与比我们更大
的东西重新连接。
13:45
And that really connects所连接
to one of the other causes原因
329
813926
2421
这正是我想和你们说的
另一个和抑郁及焦虑有关的成因。
13:48
of depression萧条 and anxiety焦虑
that I wanted to talk to you about.
330
816371
2897
13:51
So everyone大家 knows知道
331
819292
1690
所以每个人都知道,
13:53
junk破烂 food餐饮 has taken采取 over our diets饮食
and made制作 us physically物理 sick生病.
332
821006
3746
垃圾食品已经占据了
我们的饮食,让我们身体不适。
13:56
I don't say that
with any sense of superiority优势,
333
824776
2206
我说这话并不是带着优越感在说,
我来做演讲之前刚去过麦当劳。
13:59
I literally按照字面 came来了 to give
this talk from McDonald's麦当劳.
334
827006
2399
14:01
I saw all of you eating that
healthy健康 TEDTED breakfast早餐, I was like no way.
335
829429
3513
我看到你们都吃的那种
健康的TED早餐,我是不会吃的。
14:04
But just like junk破烂 food餐饮 has taken采取 over
our diets饮食 and made制作 us physically物理 sick生病,
336
832966
5143
不过就像垃圾食品已经占据了
我们的饮食,并让我们身体不适,
14:10
a kind of junk破烂 values
have taken采取 over our minds头脑
337
838133
4110
也有一类垃圾价值观
占据了我们的头脑,
14:14
and made制作 us mentally精神上 sick生病.
338
842267
1478
并使我们精神染病。
14:16
For thousands数千 of years年份,
philosophers哲学家 have said,
339
844157
3104
几千年来,哲学家们说过,
14:19
if you think life is about money,
and status状态 and showing展示 off,
340
847285
4588
如果你认为生活是关于
金钱,地位和炫耀,
14:23
you're going to feel like crap掷骰子.
341
851897
1523
你就会觉得自己像个废物。
14:25
That's not an exact精确 quote引用
from Schopenhauer叔本华,
342
853444
2067
这不是叔本华的原话,
但这是他所说的要点。
14:27
but that is the gist要旨 of what he said.
343
855535
1772
14:29
But weirdly古怪, hardy耐寒 anyone任何人
had scientifically科学 investigated调查 this,
344
857331
3026
但奇怪的是,
几乎没有人对此进行过研究,
14:32
until直到 a truly extraordinary非凡 person
I got to know, named命名 professor教授 Tim蒂姆 Kasser卡塞尔,
345
860381
3649
直到我认识了一个出色的人,
伊利诺斯州诺克斯学院
14:36
who's谁是 at Knox诺克斯 College学院 in Illinois伊利诺伊,
346
864054
2293
的提姆·卡瑟教授,
14:38
and he's been researching研究 this
for about 30 years年份 now.
347
866371
2563
他现在已经研究
这个主题超过30年了。
14:40
And his research研究 suggests提示
several一些 really important重要 things.
348
868958
3016
他的研究
揭示了几个非常重要的事情。
14:43
Firstly首先, the more you believe
349
871998
3191
首先,你越相信
14:47
you can buy购买 and display显示
your way out of sadness,
350
875213
4365
你可以通过购物和炫耀
来摆脱悲伤,
14:51
and into a good life,
351
879602
2191
过上美好的生活,
14:53
the more likely容易 you are to become成为
depressed郁闷 and anxious.
352
881817
2912
你更有可能变得抑郁和焦虑。
14:56
And secondly其次,
353
884753
1293
第二,
14:58
as a society社会, we have become成为
much more driven驱动 by these beliefs信仰.
354
886070
4588
作为一个社会,
我们越来越被这些信念驱动。
15:02
All throughout始终 my lifetime一生,
355
890682
1413
我的一生,
15:04
under the weight重量 of advertising广告
and InstagramInstagram的 and everything like them.
356
892119
4193
都处在广告,Instagram
和类似东西的重压之下。
15:08
And as I thought about this,
357
896871
1373
当我想到这个的时候,
我意识到这就像我们的灵魂一出生
就被喂了诸如肯德基一类的东西。
15:10
I realized实现 it's like we've我们已经 all been fed美联储
since以来 birth分娩, a kind of KFC肯德基 for the soul灵魂.
358
898268
5761
15:16
We've我们已经 been trained熟练 to look for happiness幸福
in all the wrong错误 places地方,
359
904053
3873
我们被训练
在错误的地方寻找幸福,
15:19
and just like junk破烂 food餐饮
doesn't meet遇到 your nutritional营养 needs需求
360
907950
2770
这就像垃圾食品
不能满足你的营养需求,
15:22
and actually其实 makes品牌 you feel terrible可怕,
361
910744
2298
并且实际上还让你感到糟糕一样,
15:25
junk破烂 values don't meet遇到
your psychological心理 needs需求,
362
913066
3142
垃圾价值也不能满足你的精神需求,
15:28
and they take you away from a good life.
363
916232
2642
反而夺走了你的美好生活。
15:30
But when I first spent花费 time
with professor教授 Kasser卡塞尔
364
918898
2623
当我第一次和卡塞尔碰面时,
15:33
and I was learning学习 all this,
365
921545
1477
我学到了所有这些东西。
15:35
I felt a really weird奇怪的 mixture混合物 of emotions情绪.
366
923046
2587
我真是百感交集。
15:37
Because on the one hand,
I found发现 this really challenging具有挑战性的.
367
925657
2690
因为一方面,我觉得
这真的很有挑战性。
15:40
I could see how often经常
in my own拥有 life, when I felt down,
368
928371
3262
我时常可以看到自己的生活中,
每当我跌倒,
15:43
I tried试着 to remedy补救 it with some kind of
show-offy炫耀, grand盛大 external外部 solution.
369
931657
5265
我试着用一些炫耀的,
宏大的外部解决方案来修补它。
15:49
And I could see why that
did not work well for me.
370
937441
2690
我可以看到为什么那样对
我并不怎么见效。
15:52
I also thought,
isn't this kind of obvious明显?
371
940930
2882
我也想到,这不是很明显吗?
15:55
Isn't this almost几乎 like banal平庸, right?
372
943836
1745
这不是很老套吗?
15:57
If I said to everyone大家 here,
373
945605
1325
如果我跟在座各位说,
15:58
none没有 of you are going to lie谎言
on your deathbed临终
374
946954
2143
你们谁也不会在临终的病榻之上,
16:01
and think about all the shoes you bought
and all the retweets锐推 you got,
375
949121
3316
想着自己买了多少双鞋,
收到了多少条转发,
而是会想起你生命中
16:04
you're going to think about moments瞬间
376
952461
1683
那些富有爱、意义和联系的瞬间。
16:06
of love, meaning含义
and connection连接 in your life.
377
954168
2111
我觉得这似乎是陈词滥调。
16:08
I think that seems似乎 almost几乎 like a clich老生常谈é.
378
956303
1945
但我继续
和卡塞尔教授交谈,说道,
16:10
But I kept不停 talking
to professor教授 Kasser卡塞尔 and saying,
379
958272
2349
“为什么我会有这种
奇怪的双重感觉呢?”
16:12
"Why am I feeling感觉
this strange奇怪 doubleness双精度?"
380
960645
2353
16:15
And he said, "At some level水平,
we all know these things.
381
963022
3807
他说,“某种程度上,
我们都知道这些东西。
16:18
But in this culture文化,
we don't live生活 by them."
382
966853
2375
但在这种文化中,
我们并不靠它们过活。”
16:21
We know them so well
they've他们已经 become成为 clich老生常谈és,
383
969252
2079
我们对它们实在太清楚了,
它们于是变得陈词滥调,
但我们不靠它们过活。
16:23
but we don't live生活 by them.
384
971355
1278
16:24
I kept不停 asking why, why would we know
something so profound深刻,
385
972657
3209
我一直在问自己为什么,
为什么我们知道有些东西很重要,
16:27
but not live生活 by it?
386
975890
1286
但不靠它们而活?
16:29
And after a while,
professor教授 Kasser卡塞尔 said to me,
387
977200
3404
过了一会,卡塞尔博士告诉我,
16:32
"Because we live生活 in a machine
388
980628
2421
“因为我们生活在一台机器中,
16:35
that is designed设计 to get us to neglect忽略
what is important重要 about life."
389
983073
3733
它被设计成让我们忽略
生命中最重要的东西。”
16:39
I had to really think about that.
390
987260
1587
我真得好好想想。
“因为我们生活在一台机器中,
16:40
"Because we live生活 in a machine
391
988871
1405
16:42
that is designed设计 to get us
to neglect忽略 what is important重要 about life."
392
990300
3678
它被设计成让我们忽略
生命中最重要东西。”
16:46
And professor教授 Kasser卡塞尔 wanted to figure数字 out
if we can disrupt破坏 that machine.
393
994299
3778
卡塞尔教授想要搞清楚
我们能否打败那台机器。
16:50
He's doneDONE loads负载 of research研究 into this;
394
998101
1873
他为此做了很多研究。
我会告诉你们一个例子,
16:51
I'll tell you about one example,
395
999998
1555
我真的很迫切鼓励这里每个人
跟朋友和家人试试这个。
16:53
and I really urge敦促 everyone大家 here
to try this with their friends朋友 and family家庭.
396
1001577
3500
我和Nathan Dungan一起,
他让一群青少年和成年人
16:57
With a guy called Nathan弥敦道 Dungan邓甘,
he got a group of teenagers青少年 and adults成年人
397
1005101
3342
17:00
to come together一起 for a series系列 of sessions会议
over a period of time, to meet遇到 up.
398
1008467
4213
在一段时间内一起参加
一系列的会议,互相见面。
17:04
And part部分 of the point of the group
399
1012704
1763
这个群体的一部分目的是
17:06
was to get people to think
about a moment时刻 in their life
400
1014491
3300
让人们回想他们生命中确实觉得
17:09
they had actually其实 found发现
meaning含义 and purpose目的.
401
1017815
2746
有意义和有目的的瞬间。
17:12
For different不同 people,
it was different不同 things.
402
1020585
2143
不同的人,想到的会是不同的东西。
17:14
For some people, it was playing播放 music音乐,
writing写作, helping帮助 someone有人 --
403
1022752
3617
对有些人,
是播放音乐,写作,帮助别人——
17:18
I'm sure everyone大家 here
can picture图片 something, right?
404
1026393
2803
我相信这里每一位都能
想起一些事情,对吧?
17:21
And part部分 of the point of the group
was to get people to ask,
405
1029220
2881
这个群体的部分目的
是让人们提问,
17:24
"OK, how could you dedicate奉献
more of your life
406
1032125
2762
“好了,你怎么才能把
生命中更多的时间
17:26
to pursuing追求 these moments瞬间
of meaning含义 and purpose目的,
407
1034911
2684
用来追求这些有意义
和目的的时刻呢,
17:29
and less to, I don't know,
buying购买 crap掷骰子 you don't need,
408
1037619
2950
并且少买一些你不需要的垃圾,
17:32
putting it on social社会 media媒体
and trying to get people to go,
409
1040593
2722
把它们发到社交媒体上,
并试图让别人说,
“我的妈,真是拉仇恨!”
17:35
'OMG我的天啊, so jealous!'"
410
1043339
1267
17:36
And what they found发现 was,
411
1044958
1643
他们的发现是,
17:38
just having these meetings会议,
412
1046625
1334
只是通过这些会面,
这有点像消费主义的
匿名戒酒会,对吧?
17:39
it was like a kind of Alcoholics嗜酒 Anonymous匿名
for consumerism消费主义, right?
413
1047983
3110
17:43
Getting入门 people to have these meetings会议,
articulate说出 these values,
414
1051807
2953
让人们参与这些会议,
阐明这些价值观,
17:46
determine确定 to act法案 on them
and check in with each other,
415
1054784
2531
并决定采取行动,互相监督,
17:49
led to a marked shift转移 in people's人们 values.
416
1057339
2857
引发了人们价值观的显著转变。
17:52
It took them away from this hurricane飓风
of depression-generating抑郁症生成 messages消息
417
1060220
4413
它把他们从训练我们
在错误的地方寻找幸福
17:56
training训练 us to seek寻求 happiness幸福
in the wrong错误 places地方,
418
1064657
2634
和产生抑郁的飓风中带走,
17:59
and towards more meaningful富有意义的
and nourishing滋补 values

18:02
that lift电梯 us out of depression萧条.
420
1070680
2000
带领我们走出抑郁的价值前进。
18:05
But with all the solutions解决方案 that I saw
and have written书面 about,
421
1073347
3302
但所有我看到和写过的解决方案,
18:08
and many许多 I can't talk about here,
422
1076673
2739
很多我无法在这里讲,
18:11
I kept不停 thinking思维,
423
1079436
1371
我一直在思考,
18:12
you know: Why did it take me so long
to see these insights见解?
424
1080831
3699
为什么它花了我
那么长时间才看到这些洞见?
18:16
Because when you explain说明 them to people --
425
1084554
2016
因为当你向人们解释它们时——
有些东西更复杂,
但非全都复杂——
18:18
some of them are more
complicated复杂, but not all --
426
1086594
2444
18:21
when you explain说明 this to people,
it's not like rocket火箭 science科学, right?
427
1089062
3244
当你向人们解释这些,
这不是必定如此,对吧?
在某种程度上,
我们已经知道这些东西。
18:24
At some level水平, we already已经
know these things.
428
1092330
2095
为什么我们会发现它很难理解?
18:26
Why do we find it so hard to understand理解?
429
1094449
2637
18:29
I think there's many许多 reasons原因.
430
1097110
1934
我认为这里有很多原因。
18:31
But I think one reason原因 is
that we have to change更改 our understanding理解
431
1099475
4269
但我认为有个原因是我们得改变
我们对抑郁和焦虑的认识。
18:35
of what depression萧条
and anxiety焦虑 actually其实 are.
432
1103768
3420
18:39
There are very real真实
biological生物 contributions捐款
433
1107776
2182
抑郁和焦虑有非常真实
18:41
to depression萧条 and anxiety焦虑.
434
1109982
1733
的生物学原因。
18:44
But if we allow允许 the biology生物学
to become成为 the whole整个 picture图片,
435
1112117
3754
但如果我们让生物学
成为唯一解释,
18:47
as I did for so long,
436
1115895
1246
就如我很久以来那样做的,
18:49
as I would argue争论 our culture文化
has doneDONE pretty漂亮 much most of my life,
437
1117165
4065
我认为我们的文化在我生命的
大部分时间里都在起作用,
18:53
what we're implicitly隐式 saying to people
is, and this isn't anyone's任何人的 intention意向,
438
1121254
3857
我们含蓄地告诉人们的是,
这不是任何人的本意,
18:57
but what we're implicitly隐式
saying to people is,
439
1125135
3037
但我们含蓄地告诉人们的是,
19:00
"Your pain疼痛 doesn't mean anything.
440
1128196
2302
“你的痛疼不意味着什么。
19:02
It's just a malfunction故障.
441
1130522
1436
它只是个故障。
19:03
It's like a glitch毛刺 in a computer电脑 program程序,
442
1131982
2469
就像电脑程序的一个小故障,
19:06
it's just a wiring接线 problem问题 in your head."
443
1134475
2667
它只是你头脑中的线路问题。”
19:10
But I was only able能够 to start开始
changing改变 my life
444
1138061
3107
但直到我意识到抑郁
并不是一种故障,
19:13
when I realized实现 your depression萧条
is not a malfunction故障.
445
1141192
4065
我才能够开始改变我的生活。
19:18
It's a signal信号.
446
1146620
1150
它是个信号。
19:20
Your depression萧条 is a signal信号.
447
1148684
2007
你的抑郁是个信号。
19:23
It's telling告诉 you something.
448
1151077
1841
它在告诉你一些东西。
19:24
(Applause掌声)
449
1152942
4611
(鼓掌)
19:29
We feel this way for reasons原因,
450
1157577
2389
我们这样感受是有原因的,
19:31
and they can be hard to see
in the throes阵痛 of depression萧条 --
451
1159990
2715
在抑郁的阵痛中很难看到它们——
19:34
I understand理解 that really well
from personal个人 experience经验.
452
1162729
2610
就我个人经验而言,我非常理解。
19:37
But with the right help,
we can understand理解 these problems问题
453
1165363
3483
但有了正确的帮助,
我们能够理解这些问题
19:40
and we can fix固定 these problems问题 together一起.
454
1168870
2474
并共同修复这些问题。
19:43
But to do that,
455
1171368
1192
但要做到这一点,
19:44
the very first step
456
1172584
1738
第一步是
19:46
is we have to stop insulting侮辱 these signals信号
457
1174346
2618
我们要停止侮辱这些信号,
19:48
by saying they're a sign标志 of weakness弱点,
or madness疯狂 or purely纯粹 biological生物,
458
1176988
4192
说它们是软弱的,疯狂的
或纯粹生理的信号,
19:53
except for a tiny number of people.
459
1181204
1935
除了少数人。
19:55
We need to start开始
listening to these signals信号,
460
1183163
3626
我们需要倾听这些信号,
19:58
because they're telling告诉 us
something we really need to hear.
461
1186813
3272
因为它在告诉我们真的
需要去倾听的事情。
20:02
It's only when we truly
listen to these signals信号,
462
1190514
5023
只有当我们真正倾听这些信号,
20:07
and we honor荣誉 these signals信号
and respect尊重 these signals信号,
463
1195561
4015
重视这些信号,尊重这些信号时,
20:11
