A high-fat diet has been shown to cause brain changes that can contribute to anxiety and depression.  The latest results, performed on mice, have shown that an increase in body weight and high blood sugar as a result of a high-fat diet is linked to anxiety and depression. The senior author, Dr.  Bruno Guiard, "When treating depression, you usually do not predict any treatment resistance.  So if we think of metabolic disorders as a predictor of biased treatment resistance, this should encourage psychiatrists to apply personalized treatment with antidepressant drugs that no longer destabilize metabolism. " When the mice were taken from the high-fat diets their metabolic weaknesses were completely reversed and their anxiety symptoms were reduced.  Dr. said.  Guiard, "This result reinforces the idea that normalization of metabolic parameters may lead to a better chance of remission, especially in patients with depression with type 2 diabetes." The results were publi...

Inflammation of the brain associated with sclerosis may be causing depression, according to research.  Patients with multiple sclerosis  have seen higher rates of depression  - compared to the general population.  Abnormal immune response, one of the characteristic symptoms of multiple sclerosis, is also linked to depression.  Researchers believe this may be a shared pathological mechanism, which helps explain the link between multiple sclerosis and rates of depression. The results add evidence to support that inflammation of the hippocampus alters its function and contributes to depressive symptoms.  Hippocampus is involved in the maintenance of depression and the pathology of multiple sclerosis. The researchers combined two complementary brain imaging techniques to study the relationship between hippocampal immune response, functional connections, and depressive symptoms in 13 multiple sclerosis patients and 22 healthy controls.  Imaging techniques i...

At the end of treatment for a period of depression, antidepressants should be discontinued gradually under medical supervision.  Stopping antidepressant treatment too soon increases the risk of relapse. Gradual withdrawal may also be necessary to replace one drug with another in the event of significant side effects or if the effect is insufficient. The mutual agreement of the patient and the doctor is mandatory to stop antidepressants effectively. Explanations. Stopping antidepressants: the return to balance The aim of antidepressant treatment is to restore the balance of the various neurotransmitters in the brain. This return to equilibrium takes time. When you feel that the symptoms of depression have disappeared, it will be necessary to continue the treatment for at least 6 months to support the return to equilibrium and prevent the risk of relapse. If you stop your antidepressants as soon as you feel better, the still fragile balance of neurotransmitters may not resist and the...
