    Depression: Six Common Depression Traps to Avoid

    April 30, 2011 /

    Six Common Depression Traps to Avoid     Expert advice on how to sidestep pitfalls that often accompany depression. When Orion Lyonesse is getting depressed, she turns into a hermit. She doesn’t want to leave the house (not even to pick up the mail), and she cuts off contact with her friends and family. “The more I’m alone, the deeper the depression gets,” Lyonesse, an artist and writer in Lake Stevens, Wash., tells WebMD in an email. “I don’t even want to cuddle my cats!” Avoiding social contact is a common pattern you might notice when falling into depression. Some people skip activities they normally enjoy and isolate themselves from…

    Alcohol, mood and me (not you)

    April 28, 2011 /

    Thanks in part to studies that follow subjects for a long time, psychologists are learning more about differences between people. In a new article published in Current Directions in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, the author describes how psychologists can use their data to learn about the different ways that people’s minds work. Most psychology research is done by asking a big group of people the same questions at the same time. “So we might get a bunch of Psych 101 undergrads, administer a survey, ask about how much they use alcohol and what their mood is, and just look and see, is there a…

    Why Doctors Should Be More Empathetic–But Not Too Much More

    April 27, 2011 /

    Why Doctors Should Be More Empathetic–But Not Too Much More Research is revealing what goes on in the brains of health care workers when they see patients as objects   Brain scans suggest doctors learn to shut down empathy Image: Hüseyin Tuncer If possible, think back to a time you or a loved one had to be in a hospital for a significant amount of time. What do you remember from the experience? Many people report an eerie feeling about their stays in hospitals. Even if everyone treating you was kind, attentive, hard working, efficient and competent, you may still have had a sense that—compared to other situations in which…

    The Effectiveness Of SSRI Antidepressants Reduced By Anti-Inflammatory Drugs

    April 26, 2011 /

    The Effectiveness Of SSRI Antidepressants Reduced By Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Scientists at the Fisher Center for Alzheimer’s Disease Research at The Rockefeller University, led by Paul Greengard, Ph.D., and Jennifer Warner-Schmidt, Ph.D., have shown that anti-inflammatory drugs, which include ibuprofen, aspirin and naproxen, reduce the effectiveness of the most widely used class of antidepressant medications, the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, taken for depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder and anxiety disorders. This surprising discovery, published online this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, may explain why so many depressed patients taking SSRIs do not respond to antidepressant treatment and suggests that this lack of effectiveness may be…

    In Fighting Anorexia, Recovery Is Elusive

    April 26, 2011 /

    Dr. Suzanne Dooley-Hash believes that she will never fully recover from the anorexia that has plagued her since she was 15 years old. For many years, she did not take laxatives constantly to lose weight, as she did in the mid-1980s, and her health was “relatively O.K.” Thoughts about her weight did not occupy every second of every minute of every day. But in 2005 she relapsed, losing one-third of her body weight in six months. She took off 19 months from her job as an emergency room physician at the University of Michigan Medical School in Ann Arbor to devote herself to getting her life back in order.

    Babies’ Persistent Fussiness Could Mean Behavioral Woes Ahead

    April 23, 2011 /

    Study links problems in infancy to temper tantrums, aggressive actions and more  Excessive sleeping, feeding or crying troubles during infancy are associated with a greatly increased risk for behavioral problems later in childhood, research suggests. Such behavior, which the researchers describe as “regulatory problems,” were the focus of an analysis of 22 studies conducted between 1987 and 2006. Data came from 16,848 children, including 1,935 with regulatory problems who were tested.

    Fears and Facts About Antidepressants

    April 20, 2011 /

      Along with counseling, antidepressants are a common part of treatment for depression. And they are usually effective. Six out of 10 people treated with antidepressants feel better with the first one they try. If the first antidepressant medication doesn’t help, the second or third often will. Most people eventually find one that works for them. Yet many people who could benefit from an antidepressant never try one, often because of fears and misconceptions about them, experts say.
