怎麼知道得憂鬱症?
憂鬱症症狀多樣化 情緒 其他 生理症狀 自責 自殺想法 對什麼都沒興趣 悲傷 胡思亂想 煩躁 擔心身體 四處痛了了 愛哭 焦慮緊張害怕 活力差 注意力不集中 胃口不好 睡不好 反應嫚半拍 PURPOSES OF THE SLIDE To establish that depression is a complex disorder that can manifest through a variety of emotional, physical, cognitive, and other associated symptoms (e.g., anxiety, worry, and pain). Note that the complexity of symptom presentation can lead to depression being a difficult condition to diagnose. The variety of symptoms of depression suggests that many areas of the brain and neural networks may be involved in depression. KEY POINTS There is a broad range of major depressive disorder (MDD) symptoms. The mood in major depression is a period of at least 2 weeks during which there is either depressed mood or the loss of interest or pleasure in nearly all activities. The mood is often described by the person as depressed, sad, hopeless, or discouraged. Some individuals emphasize somatic or physical complaints (e.g., body aches and pains) rather than reporting feelings of sadness. Many individuals report or exhibit increased irritability. Loss of interest or pleasure is nearly always present, at least to some degree. Appetite is usually reduced, yet other individuals have increased appetite. When appetite changes are severe, there may be a significant loss or gain in weight. The most common sleep disturbance associated with depression is insomnia. Less frequently, individuals present with prolonged sleep episodes at night or increased daytime sleep. Psychomotor changes include agitation (e.g., the inability to sit still, pacing, hand-wringing) or retardation (e.g., slowed speech, thinking, and body movements). Decreased energy, tiredness, and fatigue are common. The sense of worthlessness or guilt associated with depression may include unrealistic negative evaluation of one's worth, or guilty preoccupations or ruminations over minor past failings. Many individuals report an impaired ability to think, concentrate, or make decisions. They may appear easily distracted or complain of memory difficulties. Frequently, there may be thoughts of death, suicidal ideation, or suicide attempts.

壓力引發腦神經發炎反應 PURPOSE OF THE SLIDE To discuss the underlying neurobiological changes that occur at a cellular level. KEY POINTS This picture is a visual representation of how external stressors can provoke the activation of the inflammatory response in the brain and body. “The image shows psychosocial stressors activating the central nervous system stress circuitry, including corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and the sympathetic nervous system pathways via the locus coeruleus.” “Catecholamines can increase nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) DNA binding in immune cell types, including macrophages, resulting in the release of inflammatory mediators that promote inflammation.” “Pro-inflammatory cytokines can access the brain, induce inflammatory signaling pathways including NF-κB, and contribute to altered monoamine metabolism, increased excitotoxicity, and decreased production of relevant trophic factors.” “Cytokine-induced activation of CRH and the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis, in turn, leads to the release of cortisol, which along with efferent parasympathetic nervous system pathways (e.g., the vagus nerve) inhibit NF-κB activation and decrease the inflammatory response.” “In the context of chronic stress and depression, and the influence of cytokines on glucocorticoid receptor function, activation of inflammatory pathways may become less sensitive to the inhibitory effects of cortisol, and the relative balance between the pro-inflammatory and anti- inflammatory actions of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, respectively, may play an increasingly important role in the neural regulation of inflammation.” REFERENCE 1.

壓力會影響全身器官 The adrenal gland releases excessive amounts of catecholamines and cortisol 3. Increase in catecholamines can lead to myocardial ischemia, diminished heart rate variability, and can contribute to ventricular arrhythmias ACTH 4. Increase in catecholamines causes platelet activation; increase in cytokines and interleukins may also contribute to atherosclerosis and eventual hypertension Hypothalamus stimulates the pituitary gland to release excessive ACTH, continuously driving the adrenal gland PURPOSE OF THE SLIDE To discuss the common mechanisms that may be associated with major depressive disorder (MDD) and other physical conditions such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease. KEY POINTS “This review of the extant literature is derived from MEDLINE searches (1966–1997) using the search terms ‘major depression,’ ‘psychiatry,’ ‘heart disease,’ and ‘pathophysiology.’” “Studies investigating pathophysiological alterations related to cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with depression are reviewed.” “The figure shows the hypothetical schema of pathophysiologic alterations associated with depression that likely contribute to increased vulnerability to CVD. The autonomic nervous system innervates the heart via the parasympathetic vagus (X) and sympathetic (postganglionic efferents from cervical and upper thoracic paravertebral ganglia) nerves.” BACKGROUND MDD may not only be a “psychiatric disease,” as there is evidence of widespread systemic consequences. Neuroendocrine dysregulation and an elevated sympathetic tone may result in cardiovascular morbidity and an increased risk of metabolic syndrome. The immune response may be compromised in MDD. “Major depression and depressive symptoms, although commonly encountered in medical populations, are frequently underdiagnosed and undertreated in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD).” “This is of particular importance because several studies have shown depression and its associated symptoms to be a major risk factor for both the development of CVD and death after an index myocardial infarction.” “Treatment of depression in patients with CVD may be able to improve their dysphoria and other signs and symptoms of depression and improve quality of life.” REFERENCE Musselman et al.

鬱卒的大腦 活動量增加: 前額葉皮質: 眼窩部外側,腹部內側;杏仁核,視 丘, 尾核 PURPOSE OF THE SLIDE To introduce some of the regional cortical activity differences observed with patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). KEY POINTS Images are from a meta-analysis of nine studies comparing patients with MDD and control subjects at rest. Total of eight areas were identified as decreased activation in patients with MDD compared with controls, including: pregenual anterior and posterior cingulate, bilateral middle frontal gyri, insula and left superior temporal gyrus. Areas identified as “overactive’’ in patients included a series of deeper brain structures (e.g., thalamus, caudate, medial and inferior frontal gyri) as well as cortical structures (including the left superior frontal and right middle frontal gyri). Depression appears to involve a considerable number of diverse cortical and subcortical brain regions and there are significant differences in the way in which differing regions are abnormally active in the disorder.

心情好的大腦 活動量增加: 前額葉皮質: 背部外側;前扣帶迴 活動量減低: 杏仁核,視丘 PURPOSE OF THE SLIDE To revisit the study that showed summarized differences in the regional cortical activity between patients with MDD and controls and demonstrate how treatment restored a normative pattern of activity. KEY POINTS Images are from a meta-analysis of nine studies comparing patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) from their baseline to after selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) treatment. Compared with baseline, increased activity was observed in the bilateral middle frontal gyri, cingulate cortex (dorsal and posterior), and putamen. Compared to baseline, decreased activity was observed in insula, parahippocampal gyrus, pre- and subgenual anterior cingulate, inferior medial prefrontal cortex, left superior frontal gyrus, and amygdala. There appears to be a network involving the dorsal/pregenual anterior cingulate, bilateral middle frontal gyrus, insula and the superior temporal gyrus where there is decreased activity at rest which is increased with SSRI treatment. In contrast, the medial and inferior frontal cortex and the basal ganglia (caudate or putamen) as well as potentially the amygdala and thalamus are overactive at rest and display a reduction in activity with SSRI treatment.

鬱卒的大腦縮小了 * 憂鬱症病人比正常人MOFC (前額葉皮質腹部內側)少32% 正常人 憂鬱症 *P=.02 vs comparison by ANOVA 眼窩處大腦皮質 volume (mm3) MOFC * 正常人 憂鬱症 PURPOSE OF THE SLIDE To look at some of the potential structural changes observed in patients with depression. Reduced cortical volumes have been found in subregions of the frontal cortex, including the subgenual anterior cingulate and medial orbitofrontal cortex. KEY POINTS Neuroimaging studies have begun to show how functional differences in the brain between depressed and healthy patients can be associated with structural differences—though we still do not know how this happens. The medial orbitofrontal cortex (MOFC; shaded in red on the image at left) has a role in the regulation of emotion and mood. In patients with depression (n=15), the MOFC was 32% smaller in volume than controls (n=20), as is indicated in the chart on the right. This finding was significant after statistically controlling for brain size. The authors hypothesize that decreases in volume of the MOFC in patients may be a risk factor for the development of depression. BACKGROUND The study consisted of 15 patients with a history of DSM-IV depression and currently treated with antidepressant medication (paroxetine, fluoxetine, or desipramine). Patients with a history of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or current medication use other than antidepressants were excluded. Comparison subjects (n=20) were healthy subjects selected to be similar to the patients for gender, age, years of education, and handedness. Depressed patients, on average, were in remission for 30 weeks and had an average of two prior depressive episodes. REFERENCE Bremner JD, et al.

Time Since End of Treatment (Months) 吃藥不是萬能, 沒有藥卻是萬萬不能 1.0 Continued Medication Condition (n=28) 0.9 0.8 Placebo Condition (n=21) 0.7 Prior Behavioral Activation Condition (n=27) 0.6 Prior Cognitive Therapy Condition (n=30) Survival (%) 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 PURPOSE OF THE SLIDE To illustrate that medication is only part of the armamentarium. KEY POINTS In this study, 188 patients were randomized to antidepressant medication (ADM) (paroxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor [SSRI]), cognitive therapy (CT), or behavior activation (BA) at a ratio of approximately 2:1:1 for 16 weeks. They were then followed to the point of relapse or recurrence for up to 2 years following response to acute treatment. The first year of follow-up compared four groups: those who had received CT, those who had received BA, and those who received prior ADM, who were subdivided into two groups – those who continued with ADM and those given a placebo. Patients who had received prior BA or prior CT received no further treatment during follow-up. Patients treated with medication but withdrawn onto placebo had a higher rate of relapse through 1 year of follow-up compared to patients who received prior BA, prior CT, or who had continued medication. Specific comparisons indicated that patients previously exposed to CT were significantly less likely to relapse following treatment termination than patients withdrawn from medication, and patients previously exposed to BA did almost as well relative to patients withdrawn from medication, although the difference was not significantly different.

吃藥有效嗎? Antidepressant and Placebo Response Rates (N=36,385; 262 drug–placebo pair-wise comparisons) 60 40 p<0.05 Response (%) 20 PURPOSE OF THE SLIDE To address the issue of the placebo effect. KEY POINTS This graph was taken from a meta-analysis of 182 clinical trials, all of which were double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled antidepressant trials for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD). All trials were a minimum of 4 weeks. The goal of the study was to ascertain whether the probability of receiving placebo influences clinical trial outcomes. Clinical response was defined as a ≥50% reduction in either the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale or Montgomery–Asberg Depression Rating Scales, or a score of <3 on the Clinical Global Impression Improvement Scale at the endpoint. A meta-regression analysis (random-effects) established that the probability of receiving placebo, year of publication, and baseline severity were independent predictors of the risk ratio of responding to antidepressants versus placebo.

強化腦神經連結及修復 (情緒、記憶與學習) 藥物影響一連串的神經功能 血清素再回收受體 (血清素) (正腎上腺素) (麩胺酸) (皮質素) KEY POINTS Elevation of glucocorticoids and excitatory neurotransmitters, due to chronic mood disorders, may impair neuroplasticity and cellular resilience.1 Use of antidepressants can regulate the expression of BDNF, leading to enhancement of neuroplasticity and cellular resilience.2,3 5-HT and/or NE activate intracellular cascades that can independently lead to activation of transcription factor (CREB) and eventual synthesis of BDNF. BDNF interacts with TrkB receptor to enhance neuroplasticity and neurogenesis. By facilitating synthesis of a neuroprotective factor, Bcl-2, BDNF helps improve cellular resilience. 4 REFERENCES 1.
