Brain Injured Victims Show Signs of Depression Remission With Treatment

Copyright (c) 2008 Katie Kelley

Individuals who suffer from traumatic brain injury (TBI) may also likely suffer from depression. However, a recent issue of the Journal of Psychopharmacology found that anti-depressants were an ineffective method of therapy.

Individuals were also given selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), which is often prescribed to those with severe or major depression. According to the study, “SSRIs have shown statistically significant reductions on depression” in the past; however, with this study, patients who were showing signs of improvement at six weeks were worse at 10 weeks when they were reassessed.

The study, conducted by the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and funded by the Ontario Neurotrauma Foundation and Ontario Mental Health Foundation, noted that “major depression is a complication seen in about one-third of patients within the first year of TBI and, when present, is associated with poor psychosocial functioning and persisting post-concussive symptoms.”

Asthma Causes Symptoms Information With Treatment

Asthma occurs when the main air passages of your lungs, the bronchial tubes, become inflamed. This airway narrowing causes symptoms such as wheezing , shortness of breath , chest tightness, and coughing , which respond to bronchodilators. The inflammation (IN-fla-MAY-shun) makes the airways very sensitive, and they tend to react strongly to things that you are allergic to or find irritating. Asthma cannot be cured, but most people with asthma can control it so that they have few and infrequent symptoms and can live active lives. These asthma triggers vary and may include exercise, cold air, allergens (such as dust, ragweed, mold, or cat dander), infections, and emotional reactions. Some people suffer asthma symptoms continuously; others experience them only if exposed to triggers. Regardless of the cause, severe asthma is a serious health concern that can lead to respiratory failure and death.
