Despite numerous antidepressant drugs, as many as a third of pat
50、ients dont respond to medication. This has forced doctors to be more creative in finding different treatments for the condition.In the past two decades, researchers have tied depression to a seemingly unrelated condition: inflammation(炎症), the bodys natural response to stress. It could rise from inj
51、ury or inflection, or even emotional issues like an unhappy marriage or problems at work. Some amount of inflammation is generally beneficial, as it increases production of cytokines(致癌因子), proteins that help us heal and protect us from the effects of overwork.But excessive cytokine levels, and the
52、inflammation they bring on, could come at a costa number of studies suggest that high levels of cytokines could contribute to depression.Cytokines can reach the brain several ways: directly through the blood-brain barrier or indirectly by binding to nerve fibers elsewhere, which send signals to the
53、brain to produce the inflammation molecules. In the brain, cytokines can disturb the production and release of several important signaling chemicals, including serotonin, dopamine and glutamate, which help control emotion, appetite, sleep, learning and memory. Its thought that a lack of serotonin ac
54、tivity in the brain causes depression; most antidepressants increase the activity. But cytokines also have been shown to activate stress hormone signaling in the brain, which may also serve to develop depression.With all the evidence implicating inflammation in depression, doctors have been anxious
55、to test anti-inflammatory drugs as a potential treatment. Four small studies published between 2006 and 2017 by research groups in Europe and Iran found that adults diagnosed with depression who took aspirin or another anti-inflammatory drug called Celecoxib, along with an antidepressant, got more r

However, Andrew Miller, a professor of psychiatry at Emory University, thought something was wrong in these small, limited studies. None of them looked at whether the participants had
57、high levels of cytokines before theyd see a benefit from anti-inflammatory drugs. “Unfortunately, much of the field has fallen into the trap of viewing inflammation as the be-all, end-all,” Miller says. He and his colleagues wanted to see whether the effect of these drugs was limited to the depressi

Here are a few basic steps t
62、o deal with different kinds of worries.Get the facts.Why is it so important to get the facts? Because unless we have the facts, we cant possibly even attempt to solve our problems intelligently. Without the facts, we will be left in confusion. 37 Half the worry in the world is caused by people tryin
63、g to make decisions before they have sufficient knowledge on which to base a decision. If a man will devote his time to securing facts in an objective way, his worries usually disappear in the light of knowledge. 38 However, getting all the facts in the world wont do any good until we figure out wha
64、t these facts mean and interpret them. It is much easier to achieve this after writing them down. In fact, merely writing the facts on a piece of paper and stating our problem clearly goes a long way toward helping us to reach a sensible decision. Therefore, when we are worried, sit down and write d
