Sometimes physical problems can cause depression. But other times, symptoms of depression are part of a more complex psychiatric problem. There are several different types of depression, including:

• Major depressive disorder
• Dysthymia
• Seasonal affective disorder
• Psychotic depression
• Bipolar depression

Major Depression

An individual with major depression, or major depressive disorder, feels a profound and constant sense of hopelessness and despair.
Major depression is marked by a combination of symptoms that interfere with the person’s ability to work, study, sleep, eat, and enjoy once pleasurable activities. Major depression may occur only once but more commonly occurs several times in a lifetime.
What Are the Symptoms of Major Depression?

Symptoms of depression include:

• Sadness
• Irritability
• Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed
• Withdrawal from social activities
• Inability to concentrate

Psychotic Depression

Roughly 25% of people who are admitted to the hospital for depression suffer from what is called psychotic depression. In addition to the symptoms of depression, psychotic depression includes some features of psychosis, such as hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that aren’t really there) or delusions (irrational thoughts and fears).
How Is Psychotic Depression Different Than Other Mental Disorders?
While people with other mental disorders, like schizophrenia, also experience these symptoms, those with psychotic depression are usually aware that these thoughts aren’t true. They may be ashamed or embarrassed and try to hide them, which can make diagnosing this condition difficult.

What Are the Symptoms of Psychotic Depression?

• Anxiety (fear and nervousness)
• Agitation
• Paranoia
• Insomnia (difficulty falling and staying asleep)
• Physical immobility
• Intellectual impairment
• Psychosis

Dysthymia

Dysthymia, sometimes referred to as chronic depression, is a less severe form of depression but the depression symptoms linger for a long period of time, perhaps years. Those who suffer from dysthymia are usually able to function normally, but seem consistently unhappy.
It is common for a person with dysthymia to also experience major depression at the same time - swinging into a major depressive episode and then back to a more mild state of dysthymia. This is called double depression.

Symptoms of dysthymia include:

• Difficulty sleeping
• Loss of interest or the ability to enjoy oneself
• Excessive feelings of guilt or worthlessness
• Loss of energy or fatigue
• Difficulty concentrating, thinking or making decisions
• Changes in appetite
• Thoughts of death or suicide

Seasonal Affective Disorder

Seasonal depression, called seasonal affective disorder (SAD), is a depression that occurs each year at the same time, usually starting in fall or winter and ending in spring or early summer. It is more than just “the winter blues” or “cabin fever.” A rare form of SAD known as “summer depression,” begins in late spring or early summer and ends in fall.

What Are the Symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder?
People who suffer from SAD have many of the common signs of depression: Sadness, irritability, loss of interest in their usual activities, withdrawal from social activities, and inability to concentrate. But symptoms of winter SAD may differ from symptoms of summer SAD.

Symptoms of winter SAD may include the seasonal occurrence of:
• Fatigue
• Increased need for sleep
• Decreased levels of energy
• Weight gain
• Increase in appetite
• Difficulty concentrating
• Increased desire to be alone

Symptoms of summer SAD include the seasonal occurrence of:
• Weight loss
• Trouble sleeping
• Decreased appetite

What Causes Depression?

There is not just one cause of depression. It is a complex disease that can occur as a result of a multitude of different factors, including biology, emotional and environmental influences. For some, depression occurs due to a loss of a loved one, a change in one’s life, or after being diagnosed with a serious medical disease. For others, depression just happened, possibly due to a family history of the disorder.

How Is Depression Diagnosed?

The diagnosis of depression begins with a physical exam by a doctor. Although there are no laboratory tests to specifically diagnose depression, the doctor may use various tests to look for physical illness as the cause of the symptoms. If a physical cause for the depression is ruled out, your doctor will likely refer you to a psychiatrist or psychologist for evaluation.
The doctor bases his or her diagnosis of depression on the patient’s report of the intensity and duration of symptoms — including any problems with functioning caused by the symptoms. The doctor then determines if the patient’s symptoms and degree of dysfunction point to depression.

How Is Depression Treated?

The most common treatment for depression includes the combination of antidepressant medicine, including selective-serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and tricyclic antidepressants, and psychotherapy (called “therapy” for short, or “counseling”). Electroconvulsive therapy, also called ECT, may be used when severe depression is unresponsive to other forms of therapy.

What Is the Outlook for People With Depression?

The outlook for depressed people who seek treatment is very promising. By working with a qualified and experienced mental health care professional, you can regain control of your life.

Mental Illness Basics

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

Mental illness is any disease or condition affecting the brain that influence the way a person thinks, feels, behaves and/or relates to others and to his or her surroundings. Although the symptoms of mental illness can vary from mild to severe and are different depending on the type of mental illness, a person with an untreated mental illness often is unable to cope with life’s daily routines and demands.

What Causes Mental Illness?

Although the exact cause of most mental illnesses is not known, it is becoming clear through research that many of these conditions are caused by a combination of genetic, biological, psychological and environmental factors. One thing is for sure — mental illness is not the result of personal weakness, a character defect or poor upbringing, and recovery from a mental illness is not simply a matter of will and self-discipline.

• Heredity (genetics): Many mental illnesses run in families, suggesting that the illnesses may be passed on from parents to children through genes. Genes contain instructions for the function of each cell in the body and are responsible for how we look, act, think, etc. But, just because your mother or father may have a mental illness doesn’t mean you will have one. Hereditary just means that you are more likely to get the condition than if you didn’t have an affected family member. Experts believe that many mental conditions are linked to problems in multiple genes — not just one, as with many diseases — which is why a person inherits a susceptibility to a mental disorder, but doesn’t always develop the condition. The disorder itself occurs from the interaction of these genes and other factors — such as psychological trauma and environmental stressors — which can influence, or trigger, the illness in a person who has inherited a susceptibility to it.

• Biology: Some mental illnesses have been linked to an abnormal balance of special chemicals in the brain called neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters help nerve cells in the brain communicate with each other. If these chemicals are out of balance or are not working properly, messages may not make it through the brain correctly, leading to symptoms of mental illness. In addition, defects in or injury to certain areas of the brain also have been linked to some mental conditions.

• Psychological trauma: Some mental illnesses may be triggered by psychological trauma suffered as a child, such as severe emotional, physical or sexual abuse; a significant early loss, such as the loss of a parent; and neglect.

• Environmental stressors: Certain stressors — such as a death or divorce, a dysfunctional family life, changing jobs or schools and substance abuse — can trigger a disorder in a person who may be at risk for developing a mental illness.
Can Mental Illness Be Prevented?

Unfortunately, most mental illnesses are caused by a combination of factors and cannot be prevented.

How Common Is Mental Illness?

Mental illnesses are very common. In fact, they are more common than cancer, diabetes or heart disease. According to the U.S. Surgeon General, an estimated 23% of American adults (those ages 18 and older) — about 44 million people — and about 20% of American children suffer from a mental disorder during a given year. Further, about 5 million Americans adults, and more than 5 million children and adolescents suffer from a serious mental condition (one that significantly interferes with functioning).

Major depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia are among the U.S.’s top 10 leading causes of disability.

Mental illness does not discriminate. It can affect people of any age, income or education level, or cultural background. Although mental illness affects both males and females, certain conditions — such as eating disorders — tend to occur more often in females, and other disorders — such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) — more commonly occur in children.

How Is Mental Illness Treated?

A mental illness, like many chronic illnesses, requires ongoing treatment. Fortunately, much progress has been made in the last two decades in treating mental illnesses. As a result, many mental conditions can be effectively treated with one or a combination of the following therapies:

• Medication

• Psychotherapy

• Group therapy

• Specific therapies, such as cognitive-behavior therapy and behavior modification.
Other treatments available include:

• Alternative therapies, such as water therapy, massage and biofeedback.

• Creative therapies, such as art therapy, music therapy or play therapy

• Hypnotherapy
• Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)

What Is the Outlook for People With Mental Illness?

When diagnosed early and treated properly, many people fully recover from their mental disorder or are able to successfully control their symptoms. Although some people become disabled because of a chronic or severe mental illness, many others are able to live full and productive lives. In fact, as many as 8 in 10 people suffering from a mental illness can effectively return to their normal activities if they receive appropriate treatment.

The Brain and Mental Illness - You might Want to Read This?

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

The human brain is an amazing organ. It controls memory and learning, the senses (hearing, sight, smell, taste and touch) and emotion. It also controls other parts of the body, including muscles, organs and blood vessels.

The brain also is a very complex structure. It contains billions of nerve cells — called neurons — that must communicate and work together for the body to function normally. The neurons communicate through electrical signals. Special chemicals, called neurotransmitters, help move these electrical messages from neuron to neuron.

Information is fed into the brain through the senses. What is heard, felt, tasted, seen or smelled is detected by receptors in or on the body and sent to the brain through sensory neurons. The brain decides what to do with the information from the senses and tells the body how to respond by sending out messages via motor neurons. For example, if a person puts his or her hand near something hot, the sense of touch tells the brain about the heat, and the brain sends a message to the muscles of the arm to move the hand away. Another type of neuron — called interneurons — connects various neurons within the brain and spinal cord, which together make up the central nervous system.

Just as there are different types of neurons, there are also different types of chemical neurotransmitters. Researchers studying mental illness believe an imbalance of these chemicals in the brain contributes to the development of many mental illnesses. This chemical imbalance makes it difficult for messages to move from neuron to neuron and for the brain to function normally. As a result, the brain may “misunderstand” what the senses are telling it and/or may not send the right response messages back to the body. In turn, a person may develop symptoms of mental illness.

Researchers also believe that changes in size or shape of different parts of the brain may be responsible for causing some mental illnesses

Causes of Mental Illness - Look Real Close Here!

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

Although the exact cause of most mental illnesses is not known, it is becoming clear through research that many of these conditions are caused by a combination of biological, psychological and environmental factors.

What Biological Factors Are Involved in Mental Illness?
Some mental illnesses have been linked to an abnormal balance of special chemicals in the brain called neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters help nerve cells in the brain communicate with each other. If these chemicals are out of balance or are not working properly, messages may not make it through the brain correctly, leading to symptoms of mental illness. In addition, defects in or injury to certain areas of the brain have also been linked to some mental conditions.

Other biological factors that may be involved in the development of mental illness include:

• Genetics (heredity): Many mental illnesses run in families, suggesting that people who have a family member with a mental illness are more susceptible (have a greater likelihood of being affected) to developing a mental illness. Susceptibility is passed on in families through genes. Experts believe many mental illnesses are linked to abnormalities in many genes — not just one. That is why a person inherits a susceptibility to a mental illness and doesn’t necessarily develop the illness. Mental illness itself occurs from the interaction of multiple genes and other factors –such as stress, abuse or a traumatic event — which can influence, or trigger, an illness in a person who has an inherited susceptibility to it.

• Infections: Certain infections have been linked to brain damage and the development of mental illness or the worsening of its symptoms. For example, a condition known as pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorder (PANDA) associated with the Streptococcus bacteria has been linked to the development of obsessive-compulsive disorder and other mental illnesses in children.

• Brain defects or injury: Defects in or injury to certain areas of the brain have also been linked to some mental illnesses
.
• Prenatal damage: Some evidence suggests that a disruption of early fetal brain development or trauma that occurs at the time of birth — for example, loss of oxygen to the brain — may be a factor in the development of certain conditions, such as autism.

• Other factors: Poor nutrition and exposure to toxins, such as lead, may play a role in the development of mental illnesses.

What Psychological Factors Contribute to Mental Illness?

Psychological factors that may contribute to mental illness include:
• Severe psychological trauma suffered as a child, such as emotional, physical or sexual abuse

• An important early loss, such as the loss of a parent
• Neglect

• Poor ability to relate to others

What Environmental Factors Contribute to Mental Illness?
Certain stressors can trigger an illness in a person who is susceptible to mental illness. These stressors include:

• Death or divorce

• A dysfunctional family life

• Living in poverty

• Feelings of inadequacy, low self-esteem, anxiety, anger or loneliness

• Changing jobs or schools

• Social or cultural expectations (For example, a society that associates beauty with thinness can be a factor in the development of eating disorders.)

• Substance abuse by the person or the person’s parents

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder - Do It Again!!!

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), a type of anxiety disorder, is a potentially disabling illness that traps people in endless cycles of repetitive thoughts and behaviors. People with OCD are plagued by recurring and distressing thoughts, fears or images (obsessions) that they cannot control. The anxiety (nervousness) produced by these thoughts leads to an urgent need to perform certain rituals or routines (compulsions).

The compulsive rituals are performed in an attempt to prevent the obsessive thoughts or make them go away. Although the ritual may make the anxiety go away temporarily, the person must perform the ritual again when the obsessive thoughts return. This OCD cycle can progress to the point of taking up hours of the person’s day and significantly interfering with normal activities. People with OCD may be aware that their obsessions and compulsions are senseless or unrealistic, but they cannot stop themselves.

What Are the Symptoms of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder?
The symptoms of OCD, which are the obsessions and compulsions, may vary. Common obsessions include:

• Fear of dirt or contamination by germs.
• Fear of causing harm to another.
• Fear of making a mistake.
• Fear of being embarrassed or behaving in a socially unacceptable manner.
• Fear of thinking evil or sinful thoughts.
• Need for order, symmetry or exactness.
• Excessive doubt and the need for constant reassurance.

Common compulsions include:

• Repeatedly bathing, showering or washing hands.
• Refusing to shake hands or touch doorknobs.
• Repeatedly checking things, such as locks or stoves.
• Constant counting, mentally or aloud, while performing routine tasks.
• Constantly arranging things in a certain way.
• Eating foods in a specific order.
• Being stuck on words, images or thoughts, usually disturbing, that won’t go away and can interfere with sleep.
• Repeating specific words, phrases or prayers.
• Needing to perform tasks a certain number of times.
• Collecting or hoarding items with no apparent value.

What Causes Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder?

Although the exact cause of OCD is not fully understood, studies have shown that a combination of biological and environmental factors may be involved.

Biological Factors: The brain is a very complex structure. It contains billions of nerve cells — called neurons — that must communicate and work together for the body to function normally. The neurons communicate via electrical signals. Special chemicals, called neurotransmitters, help move these electrical messages from neuron to neuron. Research has found a link between low levels of one neurotransmitter — called serotonin — and the development of OCD. In addition, there is evidence that a serotonin imbalance may be passed on from parents to children. This means the tendency to develop OCD may be inherited.

In addition, certain areas of the brain appear to be affected by the serotonin imbalance that leads to OCD. This problem seems to involve the pathways of the brain that link the area of the brain that deals with judgment and planning, and the area of the brain that filters messages involving body movements.

Studies also have found a link between a certain type of infection caused by the Streptococcus bacteria and OCD. This infection, if recurrent and untreated, may lead to the development of OCD and other disorders in children.

Environmental Factors: There are environmental stressors that can trigger OCD in people with a tendency toward developing the condition. Certain environmental factors may also cause a worsening of symptoms. These factors include:
• Abuse
• Changes in living situation
• Illness
• Death of a loved one
• Work- or school-related changes or problems
• Relationship concerns

How Common Is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder?

OCD afflicts about 3.3 million adults and about 1 million children and adolescents in the U.S. The disorder usually first appears in childhood, adolescence or early adulthood. It occurs about equally in men and women and affects people of all races and socioeconomic backgrounds.

How Is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Diagnosed?

There is no laboratory test to diagnose OCD. The doctor bases his or her diagnosis on an assessment of the patient’s symptoms, including how much time the person spends performing his or her ritual behaviors.

How Is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Treated?

OCD will not go away by itself, so it is important to seek treatment. The most effective approach to treating OCD combines medications with cognitive-behavior therapy.
• Cognitive-behavior therapy: The goal of cognitive-behavior therapy is to teach people with OCD to confront their fears and reduce anxiety without performing the ritual behaviors. It also focuses on reducing the exaggerated or catastrophic thinking that often occurs in people with OCD.
• Medication therapy: Tricyclic antidepressants, such as Anafranil, and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants, such as Paxil, Prozac and Zoloft may be helpful in treating OCD.

In severe cases of OCD and in people who do not respond to medical and behavioral therapy, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) or surgery may be used to treat OCD. During ECT, electrodes are attached to the patient’s head, and a series of electric shocks are delivered to the brain, which induce seizures. The seizures cause the release of neurotransmitters in the brain.

A surgical procedure called bilateral cingulotomy interrupts the pathway of the brain involved in the development of OCD. With the pathway disrupted, OCD symptoms should stop. This procedure also may be done using stereotactic radiosurgery, also called a Gamma Knife. The Gamma Knife is a non-surgical machine that emits hundreds of powerful, highly focused gamma radiation beams aimed at the area of the brain where the problem is located.

What Is the Outlook for People With Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder?

In most cases, OCD can be successfully treated with medication, cognitive-behavior therapy or both. With ongoing treatment, most people can achieve long-term relief from symptoms and return to normal or near-normal functioning.

Can Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Be Prevented?

OCD cannot be prevented. However, early diagnosis and treatment can help reduce the time a person spends suffering from the condition.
