Consistently, more than 80 percent of the people who score positive for depression are not in treatment at the time of the screening and nearly 60 percent have never been in treatment. Additional study results reveal that five particular symptoms appear more frequently in people who screen positive for depression. These symptoms are psychological in nature and are not symptoms that would necessarily lead someone to seek professional help. This may be one key explanation for the vast discrepancy between depression's prevalence and the number of people who actually receive the care they need. read more Feeling Depressed?

"Much research has been done tying fatigue to concurrent symptoms in rheumatoid arthritis patients, such as the accompanying pain, sleep interruptions and inflammation," said lead author Judith Fifield, PhD, of the University of Connecticut School of Medicine. "Our study suggests episodes of depression and other mood disorders, which occurred as much as three decades earlier, contribute and could be a predictor of fatigue levels in these patients." Fifield and her research team conducted yearly phone interviews between 1989 and 1995 with 415 patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis to assess their levels of fatigue and distress, as well as record their histories of major depression and anxiety disorder. Participants were predominantly upper middle age (average 58 years), married women. The results of the study are published in the February 2001 issue of

News Article: Jeff Talent, Executive Director of NAMI, Oklahoma The following is from an article in the Sunday Oklahoman April 21, 2002, by Jeff Talent, Executive Director of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) "Treatment of mental illness is entering a golden era, spurred by the discovery of new medications and the development of new treatment models. Access to these medications and treatments is key to helping people function productively. New generation medicines make a dramatic difference in the way patients feel. As a result, they are more likely to stay on the medicines. Many go on to hold jobs and build successful relationships with families and friends. But treating mental illness is a highly individualized process, and having the full range of medications available is critical to effective treatment. (Note: many patients require 2000-3,000 dollars of medication per month)" "We are concerned that future funding reductions will stretch an already overburdened delivery system to the breaking point and cause a dramatic upswing in the "3 C's" of mental illness: C ardboard boxes, for the homeless

95. Neuroimaging In Child And Adolescent Mood Disorders Neuroimaging in Child and Adolescent mood disorders. During the last decade,neuroimaging has enhanced our understanding of psychopathology http://www.nami.org/youth/Bipolardisorder.html

Kids Newsletter Education/Transition Faith Communities Youth Services ... State/Affiliate Programs Neuroimaging in Child and Adolescent Mood Disorders During the last decade, neuroimaging has enhanced our understanding of psychopathology in adults with a psychiatric illness. Yet such studies in children have lagged behind those of adults because of concern about harming children by exposing them to unnecessary health hazards. In recent years, however, increased clinical confidence and a desperate need to better understand mood disorders in children and adolescents have led researchers to begin using neuroimaging in children. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy are now being used to better delineate the structures of the brain and to identify functional and chemical defects of mood disorders in children and adolescents. In a symposium at the fall 1999 meeting of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, five research centers reported on exploring the neurobiology of depression and mania in children and adolescents. Many of the studies discussed had a small number of subjects and were preliminary in nature, but their results may still help researchers identify biological factors that contribute to the manifestation of mood disorders in children. There is growing evidence that bipolar disorder in children and adolescents is similar to that in adults, and biological findings may help make the case that these children have a medical disorder that should be covered by third-party payers.

Home Metabolism Eating Disorders Sexual Dysfunction ... Meditation Exercise Mood disorders Plants have growing and dormant seasons. Bears hibernate. Many birds fly thousands of miles between summer nesting sites and winter feeding areas. Likewise, the change in season can cause a change in mood in some people that is called a Seasonal Affective Disorders (SAD). Research has shown that in very depressed people there is a shortage of serotonin, along with dopamine and norepinephrine, three neurotransmitters used by the brain. So the serotonin and melatonin link along with their dependence on the body clock may explain the depression experienced by people suffering from SAD. Currently treatment of SAD and other rhythm disorders involves exposure to full spectrum visible light, which appears to help renormalize the circadian rhythms or waves of hormones, like melatonin within the larger seasonal waves. Other well-known methods of resetting, and entraining, the circadian rhythm in an organism include exercise, exposure to heat and cold, regularity of meals, and the organization of daily activities so that they are repeated at the same time each day. 5892 Industrial Meredith Drive - Seattle, WA

98. NIDA NOTES - Treating Mood Disorders In Drug Abuse Patients Treating mood disorders in Drug Abuse Patients Yields Improvement in Both Conditions. Formany drug abuse patients, mood disorders are a constant companion. http://www.drugabuse.gov/NIDA_Notes/NNVol13N6/Mood.html

Research Volume 13, Number 6 (March, 1999) Treating Mood Disorders in Drug Abuse Patients Yields Improvement in Both Conditions By Patrick Zickler , NIDA NOTES Staff Writer For many drug abuse patients, mood disorders are a constant companion. Among cocaine abusers, for example, depressive disorders are the most commonly diagnosed coexisting, or comorbid, conditions. The relationship between mood disorders and drug abuse in these patients is often complex and interconnected: Drug abuse patients may develop depression as a result of the physical and psychological suffering associated with their drug use, and patients suffering from mood disorders may become drug dependent in attempts to self-medicate. For patients suffering from both drug abuse and mood disorders, the conditions once seemed impossible to untangle, but recent NIDA research suggests that treatment for the mood disorder alone also can have a positive effect on drug abuse treatment. One NIDA-supported study found that drug use declined among teenage drug dependence patients being treated with a medication for bipolar disorder, which is characterized by alternating periods of depression and mania. In a related study, chronic opiate-dependent adults reported less drug abuse when they were treated with the antidepressant imipramine for comorbid depression. Reducing Substance Dependence in Bipolar Teens Lithium has proven effective in treating adult bipolar disorder patients and research with adult patients suggests that lithium also may be an effective treatment for comorbid substance dependence. However, no double-blind, placebo-controlled studies have tested the therapy in adolescents. Now, at Washington University in St. Louis, Dr. Barbara Geller and her colleagues have found that, in adolescent patients, lithium treatment for the manic phase of bipolar disorder also reduces drug and alcohol dependence.

Further Information In any given 1-year period, 9.5% of the population, or about 19 million American adults, suffer from a depressive illness. The economic cost is estimated at $30.4 billion a year, but the cost in human suffering cannot be estimated. Depressive illnesses often interfere with normal functioning and cause pain and suffering not only to those who have a disorder, but also to those who care about them. Serious depression can destroy family life as well as the life of the ill person.  But much of this suffering is unnecessary. Most people with a depressive illness do not seek treatment, although the great majorityeven those whose depression is extremely severecan be helped.  Thanks to years of fruitful research, the medications and psychosocial therapies that ease the pain of depression are at hand. Unfortunately, many people do not recognize that depression is a treatable illness. If you feel that you or someone you care about is one of the many undiagnosed depressed people in this country, the information presented here may help you take the steps that may save your own or someone else's life.
