Is Depression Being Over-Diagnosed? - Ian Hickie and Tanveer Ahmed


Complete video at: fora.tv Psychiatrists Ian Hickie and Tanveer Ahmed debate whether the recent spike in depression cases signal the end of an old problem or the beginnings of a new one. ----- The pursuit of happiness is one of the unalienable rights enshrined in the US Declaration of Independence. But is our relentless striving to feel good no matter what actually making us miserable? Would we be better to accept that life comes with good times and bad, and make peace with that? This IQ2 debate, held in Sydney in March 2010, pits those who believe that happiness is a worthwhile goal that can be found in pleasures material and social, against those who hold that people should abandon unrealistic goals and seek quiet comfort within. - Australian Broadcasting Corporation Professor Ian Hickie is a professor of psychiatry and the Executive Director of the Brain and Mind Research Institute, based at the University of Sydney. Hickie was the inaugural CEO of Beyondblue: the national depression initiative, which aims to address issues associated with depression. Tanveer Ahmed is a psychiatry registrar and writer.

The Signs of Depression and Diagnosis


www.depressiontreatmenthelp101.com Depression is a condition that affects the brain and many people in the world have it today. When brain chemicals become imbalanced, depression results and this is a potentially dangerous condition that should be taken seriously. Some of the common symptoms of depression include feelings of sadness, change in weight, oversleeping, loss of energy, thoughts of suicide, feelings of worthless ness, loss of interest in pleasurable activities and irritability. Depression has many faces and this means that its causes are diverse. For instance, people with this condition may have a family history whereby genetics passed from one family member to another through the generations cause this condition. Trauma and stress are the other possible causes of depression. Such things include painful break-ups from close relationships, joblessness, financial problems, death of loved ones, marriage, or even giving birth. Pessimistic personality is another cause of depression and this mainly occurs in people with a low self esteem.

Blood Tests Help Diagnose Teen Depression


Transcript by www.newsy.com BY CHRISTINE KARSTEN ANCHOR MEGAN MURPHY A stick of a needle — soon that could be all it takes to diagnose depression in teens. KOVR reports what researchers at Northwestern University found when taking teens blood. "Researchers at Northwestern University developed that test, it helps identify genetic biomarkers linked to depression. In a small study of 28 teenagers, the test accurately identified patients suffering from depression." These researchers studied depression in rats before looking at humans. By studying rats with genetic and environmental predispositions for depression, researchers were able to pinpoint 26 markers of major depression they could use when examining teens. WebMD reports. "They tested these indicators in 14 teens with major depression who had not been treated and 14 teens who were not depressed...They found that 11 of the indicators were linked to depression, and 18 were linked to anxiety as well as depression." This blood test did more then help researchers find depression indicators in teens' blood — It's also the first test to identify subtypes of depression. Health Canal reports. "It distinguished between teens with major depression and those with major depression combined with anxiety disorder. This is the first evidence that it's possible to diagnose subtypes of depression from blood, raising the hope for tailoring care to the different types." But not all doctors are completely sold on the study. TIME quoted a <b>...</b>

Howdy all! This was a request which I got after last week's video, Explaining Eating Disorders to Someone Who Just Doesn't Get It, which is here: www.youtube.com While looking for the info on how long you have to have been exhibiting symptoms before diagnosis, I found this really useful website: www.allaboutdepression.com - have a look at the other sections too, but this one is particularly good because it mentions what I think is an important point for *all* mental illness, which is that diagnoses are about categorising symptoms - not labelling patients.

Dr Amen, depression is a symptom, not an single illness


fatnews.com Hi, this is Larry Hobbs @ FatNews.com. Having done nearly 50000 brain scans, psychiatrist Daniel Amen, MD notes that depression and other psychiatric problems are not a single or simple disorder. He notes that... "Giving someone the diagnosis of depression is exactly like giving them the diagnosis of chest pain. Why don't doctors give people the diagnosis of chest pain? Because chest pain is a symptom with many different causes." What can cause chest pain? Heart attacks, ulcers, gas, muscle pain, and grief. Doctors don't typically give people the diagnosis of chest pain because it doesn't tell them what causes it or what to do for it. The same thing is true for depression. It is a symptom with many different causes. And one treatment does not fit everyone."

"Mental Disorder" Diagnosis for Wang Lijun to Release Bo Xilai?

How is the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) dealing with the Wang incident, which has attracted the world's attention. Recently, there have been rumors saying that Wang's case will be closed due to his "mental disorders", then Bo Xilai may perhaps be lucky enough to escape from this disaster. However, analysts point out that this rumor reportedly was spread by Jiang Zemin's faction. Wang Lijun, who was removed from his position as Chief of Chongqing Police Bureau earlier, fled to the US consulate in Chengdu. Then the CCP Central senior officials took him to Beijing from the Consulate for investigation. Rumors are continuously spreading regarding how the CCP central leaders will deal with Wang and Bo. The Hong Kong "Ming Pao" quotes relative news that the Central leaders have had an initial theme, which is that Wang has been involved in "serious political issues". However, not long ago, Chongqing media reported that, there is a "doctor's diagnosis" being spread on the internet that proves Wang is suffering "severe depression". It is dated February 4th with the stamp of the Third Daping Hospital of the Third Military Medical University. However, it doesn't have doctor's signature, or a registered number.

Nami Walk 2011 San Francisco


Amazing walk this year! There were so many people my camera died before I could get everyone. The numbers were astounding. My focus for this year's video was familiarity. Before my diagnosis, I had a very difficult time admitting I had a mental illness because of the stigma, fear of disapproval, and ignorance. Three years from my diagnosis and I realize I am loved more now than I could have ever imagined. I have made friends I could not have dreamed. I have the knowledge and experience to manage my symptoms and encourage others. All it took was the bravery to say to myself and others who deserved to know, "I'm in pain. I think there's something going on and I can't do it by myself." I hope my video motivates the undiagnosed, the diagnosed, and their friends and families to remember we deserve and daily attain our dreams. Sending love, hope and courage.

Living with Bipolar Disorder - part 1


Courtesy of www.genericforyou.com - Patients talk about diagnosis and living with Bipolar Disorder. Bipolar disorder or manic-depressive disorder, which is also referred to as bipolar affective disorder or manic depression, is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a category of mood disorders defined by the presence of one or more episodes of abnormally elevated energy levels, cognition, and mood with or without one or more depressive episodes. The elevated moods are clinically referred to as mania or, if milder, hypomania. Individuals who experience manic episodes also commonly experience depressive episodes, or symptoms, or mixed episodes in which features of both mania and depression are present at the same time. These episodes are usually separated by periods of "normal" mood; but, in some individuals, depression and mania may rapidly alternate, which is known as rapid cycling. Extreme manic episodes can sometimes lead to such psychotic symptoms as delusions and hallucinations. The disorder has been subdivided into bipolar I, bipolar II, cyclothymia, and other types, based on the nature and severity of mood episodes experienced; the range is often described as the bipolar spectrum.

Depression and Men


howtocopewithdepression.com When it comes to men and depression you will find that there are over three million men in the United States that suffer from depression, however you should know that only 35% of all men find themselves in a depression. When it comes to the view of the male image, you'll find that many call them "the rock" or the "solid one", however men can suffer from depression. Just because you have, a depression doesn't mean that you are any less of a man because of it. Researchers estimate that at least six million men in the United States suffer from a depressive disorder every year. Research and clinical evidence reveal that while both women and men can develop the standard symptoms of depression, they often experience depression differently and may have different ways of coping with the symptoms. Men may be more willing to acknowledge fatigue, irritability, loss of interest in work or hobbies, and sleep disturbances rather than feelings of sadness, worthlessness, and excessive guilt. Some researchers question whether the standard definition of depression and the diagnostic tests based upon it adequately capture the condition as it occurs in men. Men are more likely than women to report alcohol and drug abuse or dependence in their lifetime;however, there is debate among researchers as to whether substance use is a symptom of underlying depression in men or a co occurring condition that more commonly develops in men. Nevertheless, substance use can mask <b>...</b>
