    Serotonin has long been associated with social behaviour

    June 29, 2008 /

    ScienceDaily — New research by scientists at the University of Cambridge suggests that the neurotransmitter serotonin, which acts as a chemical messenger between nerve cells, plays a critical role in regulating emotions such as aggression during social decision-making.  Eating tryptophan rich foods like poultry and chocolate can boost serotonin levels.

    Comorbidity – The Relationship Between Diabetes and Depression

    June 24, 2008 /

      The Relationship Between Diabetes and Depression TUESDAY, June 17  — The relationship between diabetes and depression apparently cuts both ways: Not only are people with treated type 2 diabetes at a heightened risk for developing depression, individuals with depression are also at risk for developing diabetes. The research revelation suggests that both doctors and patients need to be more aware of the dual risks. “Doctors should have their sensitivity increased toward picking up on the potential for more of their diabetes patients and more of their depression patients having susceptibility to the other disorder,” said Dr. Stuart Weiss, assistant clinical professor of medicine at New York University School of…

    A Lifelong Bipolar Struggle

    June 24, 2008 /

    Marya Hornbacher remembers her “endless nights” as a child as young as 4, when she says she first began to show symptoms of bipolar disorder. “Bam! At 5, 6 o’clock I’m off, I’m ready to roll. And the world is shutting down around me and I’m getting more and more frantic because nobody wants to talk,” Hornbacher recalls with a laugh, “and nobody else wants to go to the moon that afternoon and nobody else wants to go ice skating in the woods, you know, at 4 a.m.”

    We May Put A Stop To Domestic Violence If Physicians Would Start Screening

    June 18, 2008 /

    We May Put A Stop To Domestic Violence If Physicians Would Start Screening Some physicians see domestic violence primarily as a criminal justice issue, and take umbrage at being expected to delve into a difficult, messy topic when they already have to screen for many other conditions and diagnose complicated diseases in the span of an ever-shorter visit. In a recent nationwide study of nearly 5,000 women, only 7 percent said a health professional had ever asked them about domestic or family violence. When surveyed, doctors often respond that they don’t ask such questions because of a lack of time, training and easy access to services that help these patients.

    Rural, unmarried women at higher risk for depression

    June 15, 2008 /

    A study suggests unmarried women living in rural areas have lower self-rated health status than their married counterparts. This lower health status often includes greater instances of self-assessed feelings of depression. The results of the study were recently published in the Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice. They suggest that primary care physicians should take a proactive role in addressing health concerns of single women.

    A Hormonal Antidepressant Effect

    June 15, 2008 /

    There is a new research going on at the UT Southwestern Medical Center may explain why some people who are stressed or depressed overeat.While levels of the so-called “hunger hormone” ghrelin are known to increase when a person doesn’t eat, findings by UT Southwestern scientists suggest that the hormone might also help defend against symptoms of stress-induced depression and anxiety.

    Real Men. Real Depression.

    June 7, 2008 /

    Depression is a serious but treatable medical condition — a brain disease — that can strike anyone, including men.  In America alone, more than 6 million men have depression each year. Whether you’re a company executive, a construction worker, a writer, a police officer, or a student; whether you are rich or poor; surrounded by loved ones or alone; you are not immune to depression. Some factors, however, such as family history, undue stress, the loss of a loved one, or serious illnesses can make you more vulnerable. If left untreated, depression can lead to personal, family, and financial difficulties. With appropriate diagnosis and treatment, however, most people recover. The…

    Overcoming Barriers to Reporting Adverse Drug Events

    June 5, 2008 /

    Overcoming Barriers to Reporting Adverse Drug Events  Serious adverse drug events (ADEs) may emerge after a new drug is brought to market; in fact, a median of 7 years elapses before such incidents are described by pharmaceutical companies or the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).[1] An important factor underlying this delay is low reporting of ADEs, with only 1% to 10% of all such incidents reported.
