The One-Two Punch of Major Depression When people are diagnosed with major depression, they obviously have a depressed mood. But new research is showing that depression doesn’t exist in a vacuum, and the condition is also associated with many other chronic health problems, from diabetes to asthma to arthritis. Being depressed actually worsens the effects of other physical illnesses. I don’t mean simply feeling down about a chronic physical problem. People with various medical problems often may feel discouraged about their condition, but they usually don’t become severely depressed. However, being affected by depression may be having a negative effect on other illnesses you may also be experiencing. In fact, a recent study published in The Lancet backs up this compounding effect of depression by suggesting that chronic illnesses become even more disabling in people who were already depressed. And the authors go on to suggest that the depression itself may be more disabling than common chronic conditions like angina, arthritis, asthma, and diabetes. Based on what this and other findings about the effects of depression on other illnesses, it makes sense for primary care doctors always to consider whether their patients are depressed when evaluating them for chronic conditions. And, of course, patients should bring up to their doctor any symptoms of depression, such as persistent sadness, thoughts of life being worthless, changes in sleeping patterns, decreased appetite, and less interest in the things usually enjoyed. If you are depressed, treatment won’t merely improve your mood. It might also help with other health problems, too. © 2007 Johns Hopkins University. All Rights Reserved.

eh...Movses Jan...Kyanqic xorata kenenq...

Azat Jan, that’s why I said that I used to think that way…it was way back when I saw the world in pink from my immature point of view …today I actually understand and respect them (and you know I respect you a lot) because as I said above raising a child is a very difficult and never ending process…Harut said in one of the posts above, that human kind is the most complex creature but effortless to make…I have to disagree, because effortless might be just getting sand and stone for the building, but to built, to organize, to furnish, etc. takes enormous effort…and chances of success are low…

I will not try to answer the philosophical “why” part of the question…Because that question can be answered numerous times and still remain unanswered… The answer to the question “why do we reproduce or what drives or motivates us to have children?” is different for each of us, depending on our views, intersts, etc…Research shows that most women feel “whole” after becoming a mother, it has to do with rising estrogen levels, which effects emotional and physical state of a woman…Hetanos mentioned number of reasons , another reason I see some women have children for very often is to tie their husbands (or partners)…This never works and makes the existence miserable for everyone…Having children myself I , personally, think that one has to be in a very stable emotional (and physical) state, and simply be ready for the huge responsibility … I remember that I always wanted to have children, I really did, …when someone asked me “why” I did not have an answer…I thought to myself, what was the reason I wanted to have children when I was young, maybe it simply was my reflex and desire to become a mother… Sex is a physical need…Humans have primary and secondary needs, some researchers say that sex is a primary need next to food and water (of course for some people its primary and for some its not a need at all ), and reproduction is a consequence of the sexual act… Animals reproduce as they eat, sleep, run, defend themselves, etc…Its simply a reflex…For humans also It was simply a reflex, mixed with pleasure caused by chemicals in brain, for ages… until we started to “think”… I always thought that people who do not want to have children are selfish… selfish sounds rude… I mean a person who values his/her comfort, career that took them years to accomplish , organized lifestyle with steady hours for lunch, rest, dinner, sleep and realizes that children are gonna destroy all that…(which is btw true )…Today I think they are just practical people who know what they need and when…

or ...we never grow up Nairi jan...

Aging and everything that comes with it… There is an old saying that sounds better in Armenian (տարիքը խելոքին խելք է ավելացնում, հիմարին հիմարություն). It basically says that years add wisdom to the intelligent, and make the empty sound of the stupid louder and more annoying…I understand that this goes for every personality trend we have. Years act like sharpeners, by the time they sharpen every flaw of ours. In biological psychology it is believed that before the age of twenty five our emotions control over logic. It has been found that our frontal lobe gets fully developed on and after the age of twenty five, and we tend to be less emotional and more logical. Although, I am no one to state opinions (I think or I hope Hyeforum is the only place I am allowed to do so) I think what we learn after that age is how to hide our emotions, they still act up and get sharpened by the years, but we have better skills to hide them, while as teenagers we are unaware of those skills. If one person has tendency to overreact, it get worse by the time, and even if they’re able to hide and prevent the actual collision, it cracks them inside. Yervant talked about the stage that we hit in our lives where we just don’t accept the BS anymore. I realized that there is another misconception we’ve always been taught. It is believed that as years pass we become more tolerant, we face challenges with understanding and an open mind. I think it’s a huge mislead. Years decrease our tolerance. We become mean and intolerant; we stick to what we’ve learned so far, and despise whatever is different. We seek refuge (lately I was embarrassed to find my misuse of the ward refugee) in different things, we become alcoholics, workaholics, addicts. The only things years give us are the acting skills.

Em, no one owes me the truth, you’re right...I'm not looking for the truth, and I wasn’t talking about the truth, nor I’m being nosy and asking difficult-to-be-answered-questions, I really don’t care about things people don’t wanna tell me, I have enough on my mind… What I care about is that the world is a very lonely and disgusting place where there become less and less people you can look in the eyes and trust their words, this NOT questions and answers about personal life, or family problems, or the truth… I think i could not put in words whatever i was trying say...Its OK...

Its not a word it is kapakctyun... Չգիտեմ արդեն ինչպես կոչեմ այն հայերենը, որ դասավանդվում է Հայաստանի կրթական համակարգգում, բայց մեծատառ և-ը գրվում է երկու տառերի կապակցությամբ Ե-վ, օրինակ Եվա, իսկ փոքրատառը՝ "և" ..."Եվ" կապակցությունը (կապակցություն ինչպես "ՈՒ"-ն) նույնպես, եթե (թեև սա պատահում է հազվադեպ) Եվ-ը գտնվում է նախադասության սկզբում ապա գրվում է մեծատառ "ԵՎ", (Օրինակ- Եվ աստված ստեղծեց աշխարհը) իսկ նախադասության մեջտեղում երկու բառեր կամ նախադասության մասեր կապելիս գրվում է փոքրատար "և" (օրինակ- Պողոսը և Պետրոսը)... Հուսով եմ ճիշտ բացատրեցի... Ես համաձայն եմ Աշոտի հետ, որովհետև սխալ է խմբավորել և պիտակել մարդկանց...եթե մեկի խոսքից մեջբերում են անում ուրեմն համաձայն են նրա հետ, ուղակի քաջություն չունեն իրենք իրենց կողմից ասելու, որ այսպիսի պահերին ասեն "Չե, ես չեմ ասել, նա է ասել"...

We talked about reading that book in our newly formed bookclub... But everyone's so busy...It would be nice to know your opinion on the book dear vava, and i'll encourage the girls...

Yervant jan…I think you’re right it might be from aging as couple of days ago while blow drying my hair two gray hair said “hello” to me… Even though its good that from now on I refuse to get fooled …But what bothers me is that its very hard to live like this, it feels wrenching to go on like this…not being able to believe the words especially from people you love and respect…having second thoughts… I hope after this stage there comes a stage when you develop a natural lie detector in brain and perfectly learn how to smile at the face of a BS…raise an eyebrow at an attempt to be fooled…and reject the unnecessary information...

The weather is nice today…Outside …It is very chilly in the library…Both people next to me are wearing their jackets with their hoods on and I am freezing because (as always) I don’t have a jacket with me…But no choice I am stuck in here until I have everything (at least something) done… However, what I was thinking about, while I had to concentrate on something totally different , is trust…How it feels not being able to trust anyone? Especially people you really want to trust, but somehow it just doesn’t work anymore…And thinking of the times when it felt really good to be trustworthy…It felt good to trust the words, taking them as they are not wondering if there is something underneath those words… I don’t know…Maybe its just these annoying finals , as Anonymouse said, and my most accomplished task of procrastinating or I hate the 21st century NTA phenomena… But going back to weather it is nice…However, I don’t look forward to the 90 + weekend…

If years ago someone was to ask me “Is there a difference between an empty space and an empty space filled with emptiness?” I would say “I don’t know” just to make him think that I actually care to think about it, not showing that I think he is another victim of the delusion called Philosophy… But if someone asks me today the same question…I’d answer that there is a huge difference between an empty space and an empty space filled with emptiness…You can easily walk through an empty space, it still would reflect your own voice and annoy you, but you can get through pretty quick…Where in a space filled up with emptiness, the air is thick, and you have to deal with the emptiness, its all over, its in your face…You cant walk through and avoid dealing with it, its sticky its all over… To not sound like the person I mentioned above… What I am trying to say is that we are surrounded with people who can sit there for one straight hour and enthusiastically talk about clothes, shoes, eyebrow tattoos, nail polish designs, hair extensions, fake eyelashes, how jealous their husbands are (which is always linked to LOVE) , and how short skirts were OK couple of years ago but not anymore , how they always eat out, because she doesn’t like cooking and her husband says “Its OK, as long as i am full ”… I know i sound mean but sometimes I wish I could go through waiting alone…

Emotional and physical pain are recognized (processed) by brain in a similar way…PET scans of a depressed person and a person suffering from physical pain show same action, same amount of cell apoptosis (damage)… And it is now being researched that pain does damage the brain...not as noticeable as after a brain injury but it has long term effects on brain… "February 9th, 2008 People with unrelenting pain don’t only suffer from the non-stop sensation of throbbing pain. They also have trouble sleeping, are often depressed, anxious and even have difficulty making simple decisions. In a new study, investigators at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine have identified a clue that may explain how suffering long-term pain could trigger these other pain-related symptoms. "Researchers found that in a healthy brain all the regions exist in a state of equilibrium. When one region is active, the others quiet down. But in people with chronic pain, a front region of the cortex mostly associated with emotion "never shuts up," said Dante Chialvo, lead author and associate research professor of physiology at the Feinberg School. "The areas that are affected fail to deactivate when they should." They are stuck on full throttle, wearing out neurons and altering their connections to each other. This is the first demonstration of brain disturbances in chronic pain patients not directly related to the sensation of pain. The study was published in the Feb. 6, 2008 issue of The Journal of Neuroscience. Chialvo and colleagues used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to scan the brains of people with chronic low back pain and a group of pain-free volunteers while both groups were tracking a moving bar on a computer screen. The study shows pain sufferers performed the task well, but "at the expense of using their brain differently than the pain-free group," he said. When certain parts of the cortex were activated in the pain-free group, some others were deactivated, maintaining a cooperative equilibrium between the regions. This equilibrium also is known as the resting state network of the brain." -------------- Chronic back pain, a condition afflicting many Americans, shrinks the brain by as much as 11 percent — equivalent to the amount of gray matter lost in 10 to 20 years of normal aging, a Northwestern University research study found. Loss in brain density is related to pain duration, indicating that 1.3 cubic centimeters of gray matter (the part of the brain that processes information and memory) are lost for every year of chronic pain, said lead researcher A. Vania Apkarian, associate professor of physiology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and a researcher at the Northwestern University Institute of Neuroscience. The study, the first to examine brain changes in chronic pain conditions, was published in the Nov. 23 issue of The Journal of Neuroscience. About 6 percent of the American population is probably suffering from brain shrinkage from chronic back pain. On top of that there are people suffering from chronic stomach pain and other forms of chronic pain. So it is likely that more than 20 million Americans are suffering cognitive losses due to chronic pain. At least 25 percent of Americans suffer from back pain; in one fourth of these individuals, back pain is chronic and unremitting. Although chronic pain greatly diminishes quality of life and increases anxiety and depression, it previously had been assumed that the brain reverts to its normal state after chronic pain stops. Apkarian and co-researchers used structural magnetic resonance imaging brain scan data and two automated analysis techniques to contrast brain images from 26 participants with chronic back pain with those from matched normal subjects. All participants with chronic back pain had unrelenting pain for more than a year, primarily localized to the lumbosacral region, including buttocks and thighs, with or without pain radiating to the leg. The participants were divided into neuropathic — exhibiting pain because of sciatic nerve damage — and non-neuropathic. Brain scans showing gray matter volume were compared. In earlier research, Apkarian and colleagues found that back pain sustained for six months or longer is accompanied by abnormal brain chemistry, indicated by chemical changes in the area of the brain known to be important in making emotional assessments, including decision-making and for controlling social behavior. Based on these results, Apkarian’s laboratory group embarked on the brain atrophy study. It is possible that some of the observed decreased gray matter shown in this study reflects tissue shrinkage without substantial neuronal loss, suggesting that proper treatment would reverse this portion of the decreased brain gray matter, Apkarian said. The atrophy also may be attributable to more irreversible processes, such as neurodegeneration. Other research has shown that spinal cord neurons undergo apoptosis — cell death — in rats with neuropathic pain. “Given that, by definition, chronic pain is a state of continuous persistent perception with associated negative affect and stress, one mechanistic explanation for the decreased gray matter is overuse atrophy caused by excitotoxic and inflammatory mechanisms,” Apkarian said. The researchers hypothesize that atrophy of brain circuitry involved in pain perception may dictate the properties of the pain state, such that as atrophy of elements of the circuitry progresses, the pain condition becomes more irreversible and less responsive to therapy. http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/pt...908-000003.html

From "The Zahir" (2006) (Zahir, in Arabic, means visible, present, incapable of going unnoticed) "The Zahir was a fixation on everything that had been passed from generation to generation; it left no question unanswered; it took up all the space; it never allowed us even to consider the possibility that things could change. The all-powerful Zahir seemed to be born with every human being and to gain full strength in childhood, imposing rules that would thereafter always be respected: People who are different are dangerous; they belong to another tribe; they want our lands and our women. We must marry, have children, reproduce the species. Love is only a small thing, enough for one person, and any suggestion that the heart might be larger than this is considered perverse. When we marry, we are authorized to take possession of the other person, body and soul. We must do jobs we detest because we are part of an organized society, and if everyone did what they wanted to do, the world would come to a standstill. We must buy jewelry; it identifies us with our tribe, just as body piercing identifies those of a different tribe. We must be amusing at all times and sneer at those who express their real feelings; it's dangerous for a tribe to allow its members to show their feelings. We must at all costs avoid saying no because people prefer those who always say yes, and this allows us to survive in hostile territory. What other people think is more important than what we feel. Never make a fuss-it might attract the attention of an enemy tribe. If you behave differently, you will be expelled from the tribe because you could infect others and destroy something that was extremely difficult to organize in the first place. We must always consider the look of our new cave, and if we don't have a clear idea of our own, then we must call in a decorator who will do his best to show others what good taste we have. We must eat three meals a day, even if we're not hungry, and when we fail to fit the current ideal of beauty we must fast, even if we're starving. We must dress according to the dictates of fashion, make love whether we feel like it or not, kill in the name of our country, wish time away so that retirement comes more quickly, elect politicians, complain about the cost of living, change our hairstyle, criticize anyone who is different, go to a religious service on Sunday, Saturday, or Friday, depending on our religion, and there beg forgiveness for our sins and puff ourselves up with pride because we know the truth and despise the other tribe, who worships a false god. Our children must follow in our footsteps; after all, we are older and know about the world. We must have a university degree even if we never get a job in the area of knowledge we were forced to study. We must study things that we will never use, but which someone told us were important to know: algebra, trigonometry, the code of Hammurabi. We must never make our parents sad, even if this means giving up everything that makes us happy. We must play music quietly, talk quietly, weep in private, because I am the all-powerful Zahir, who lays down the rules and determines the distance between railway tracks, the meaning of success, the best way to love, the importance of rewards."
