Melancholy makes girls grow taller.
(Yikang) from Fitness Science 98. 1
A study by British researchers shows that childhood depression can affect the height of some girls. Those little girls who are worried about their father's divorce or dislike their father for a long time may cause endocrine disorders, thus affecting their physical development.
Researchers have studied more than 700 children for eight years and found that those little girls who used to be nervous are about five centimeters shorter than their peers who are more comfortable with life. For men, this is not the case. Boys who are moody when they are young may grow taller.
David Skius, a professor of behavioral science at the Children's Health Institute in London, believes that these findings are consistent with his ongoing research on systemic and emotional disorders in British children. He found that the average height of girls with mental disorders was about five centimeters shorter. He thinks that these girls may have eating problems, such as anorexia, which may hinder people's growth. Stephen Squet, a senior lecturer at the Institute of Psychiatry in London, believes that although it has not been suggested that depression itself will make people shorter, it has been widely recognized that abused children living in harsh environments are shorter than ordinary children.
Coincidentally, Daniel Pine, a child psychiatrist at Columbia University in the United States, also believes that among adult women whose height is less than 1.57 meters, those who are depressed in childhood are twice as many as those who are not depressed. The most obvious explanation is the lack of growth hormone. Although there is no direct evidence, adult mental stress is considered to be related to endocrine disorders.
Get rid of troubles and be in a good mood
Wenwen Guangming Daily 1999.07.27
Medical experts have proved through a lot of research that people who are worried all day are prone to many diseases. Life will not be smooth sailing, and sad things often happen. For example: career frustration, career frustration, hopeless salary increase, failure in college entrance examination, being laid off, nowhere to go to find a job, lovers breaking up, couples turning against each other, parents divorced, relatives and friends were killed, property was stolen, and illness occurred. If it is not handled properly, it is easy to make people feel depressed and fall into the quagmire of troubles or even unable to extricate themselves; On the other hand, you can get rid of your troubles and make your heart calm and happy. The way to eliminate anxiety is:
Tell your friends and relatives about your difficulties-everyone has their own trusted intimate friends and close relatives. When encountering "unexpected events", don't grieve alone, but talk to relatives and friends in time to relieve psychological pressure. This can not only restore psychological balance as soon as possible, but also get all kinds of help from relatives and friends to properly solve the immediate problems.
Exercise and fitness can relieve anxiety-when you are upset, engaging in your favorite sports, or doing aerobics, or playing Tai Ji Chuan, or walking, or dancing with music can eliminate sadness, anger, troubles and worries and get a "bright future" mood.
Sunbathing tourism can eliminate worries-when you are upset, if it is sunny, you can go to a place with fresh air to bask in the sun or enjoy the beautiful scenery in the embrace of nature, which can effectively eliminate worries.
Sleeping can relieve boredom-as the saying goes, "A night's sleep is less stormy and carefree." Have a good sleep when you are depressed. When you wake up, your impetuous mood will be more stable and your troubles can be resolved.
There is a new treatment for depression.
Jiefang Daily 99 1229
Washington, 25th: With the gradual prosperity and progress of society, it seems that there are more and more people suffering from depression. Although the existing drugs can effectively treat this civilized disease, for many patients who have failed to take drugs, a new therapy currently being tested in the United States may bring them new hope.
According to mental health experts' estimates, among the 7 million Americans diagnosed with depression, two-thirds have not received any treatment, and about 15% even choose suicide as the last resort.
Kramer, a professor of clinical psychiatry at Brown University, pointed out that depression is still one of the few diseases that can be easily treated with drugs, but most patients have not received treatment.
Luxi, a psychiatrist at the Southwest Medical Center in Dallas, University of Texas, conducted an experimental study on cervical vagus nerve electrical stimulation in 30 patients with this kind of depression.
Lu pointed out that after receiving this new treatment, 40% patients with this kind of depression found that their condition had improved by at least 50%.

In life, it is common for some women to feel particularly depressed. Seeing that everything is gray, they are bored, hopeless and pessimistic about the future. But they are serious and enthusiastic about their work and have a strong sense of responsibility. Although you can't handle things as quickly as others, you can faithfully carry out other people's instructions. In interpersonal relationships, people who are simple, passive, have no initiative, have a strong sense of inferiority, and think that their abilities are low (especially those with low academic qualifications and ordinary family background) are worthless. I seldom associate with people, but I pay attention to etiquette, have deep feelings, abide by credit, and have an honest and inflexible personality.
No matter from their own development, their own life, their own work, or from the whole society, such women do not need to be locked in their own space all day, but should devote themselves to the original colorful world, make themselves relaxed and make their lives full of smiles. Longevity scholars believe that cultivating a happy personality is also conducive to longevity and health.
According to experts' opinions, such women should improve themselves from the following aspects and strive to live a comfortable life.
First of all, we should change our living habits appropriately, get up early in the morning, do some exercise such as jogging or gymnastics, and sweat a little. Leave room for your own plans and ensure your satisfaction and happiness in completing your work. Participate in various discussions as much as possible, get in touch with people who are energetic and cheerful, and gradually develop a positive and optimistic habit.
Secondly, if possible, pay attention to self-cultivation, don't be overworked, pay attention to restoring vitality, adjust the balance between activities and rest, don't think alone, don't get into trouble, and read more useful books.
Finally, learn to enrich yourself in a harmonious and pleasant environment. We should not live alone, but live with more people who speak the same language. Only in this way can we not be isolated from the outside world, fully understand the social dynamics, and naturally produce various goals and ideas. Only living a meaningful life is the fundamental way to eliminate depression.
I have heard that artists have "depression". It is puzzling that some of them are still young, have successful careers, or have high incomes and high popularity. Unlike ordinary people like us, we have to worry about life every day. Why do they also get depression?
In fact, "depression" may occur at any age, anyone, but to varying degrees! Most young people have too much academic pressure; Middle-aged people are mostly related to the pressure of career, family and interpersonal relationship, while the elderly may feel empty, depressed and even afraid in the face of the pressure of deteriorating health, illness or death of their old friends!
In fact, when most people are more or less "depressed", facing the pressure of life, how to relax themselves properly and fight against the pressure has become a compulsory course for modern people! Faced with different pressures, everyone's reaction will be different. A cheerful and adaptable person can eliminate stress more smoothly; On the other hand, if the personality is dull and the adjustment ability is weak, people may be depressed, unable to eat, unable to sleep, not interested in anything, pessimistic about the future and lose confidence. In severe cases, there will even be suicidal thoughts and need treatment!
In addition to external pressure, the study found that there is a lack of certain chemicals in the brain of patients with depression, and new antidepressants can supplement the chemicals in the brain, with remarkable effects and few side effects. But medication is a last resort after all! In addition to medication, patients must also adjust their lifestyle and learn ways to reduce stress. Simple decompression methods can tell what you have accumulated in your heart, share it with others, or do something you are interested in to distract your attention. In addition, doing some deep breathing exercises and relaxing muscles will help relieve stress, relieve pain, regain confidence and bid farewell to depression. There is a new treatment for depression, electrical stimulation of cervical vagus nerve. According to a report in Washington on the 25th, with the gradual prosperity and progress of society, it seems that there are more and more people suffering from depression. Although the existing drugs can effectively treat this civilized disease, for many patients who have failed to take drugs, a new therapy currently being tested in the United States may bring them new hope. According to mental health experts' estimation, among the17 million Americans diagnosed with depression, two-thirds have not received any treatment, and about 15% even choose suicide as the last resort. Kramer, a professor of clinical psychiatry at Brown University, pointed out that depression is still one of the few diseases that can be easily treated with drugs, but most patients have not received treatment. Rich, director of communication of the American Association for Depression and Manic Depression, believes that fear of reputation damage is the main reason why people are reluctant to seek medical treatment for depression. He said: "Most people usually think that they can get rid of depression. What they don't understand is that depression is a brain disease rather than a personality defect. Kramer said that depression develops slowly without knowing it, and eventually it will paralyze a person. Because it is not as obvious as a fracture, patients usually don't realize it. Kramer said that this is not a feeling caused by an event, but it is more likely that there is a problem with the biochemical system that controls emotions in the brain of patients with depression. Luxi, a psychiatrist at the Southwest Medical Center in Dallas, University of Texas, conducted an experimental study on cervical vagus nerve electrical stimulation in 30 patients with this kind of depression. Lu pointed out that after receiving this new treatment, 40% patients with this kind of depression found that their condition had improved by at least 50%. New technology will completely cure depression. Researchers at the emotional disorder treatment clinic of Louis ·KNA Stanford University are participating in a national trial aimed at helping patients with extreme depression and resistance to treatment. This one-year trial, involving about 150 patients, will report the new progress of vagus nerve stimulator research. Vagus nerve stimulator (VNS) is a battery-powered device, and its size is no larger than that of a standard pacemaker. The vagus nerve stimulator (VNS) will be directly implanted under the human clavicle and connected with the vagus nerve to stimulate the area of the human brain that is considered to control emotions. " "Vagus nerve is the highway leading to the brain," said Charles Dai Bo Tista, assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral science and director of the depression treatment clinic at Stanford University. Nerves lead to limbic circuits, which are considered to be very important in psychological adjustment. "Outpatient local anesthesia surgery completed in two hours. Once the vagus nerve stimulator is implanted, doctors begin to design the duration and frequency of its gentle pulses. They control the pulse frequency and adjust the electric pulse to an effective level through the magnetic bar on the stimulator. Mr. DeBattista hopes that the device can produce a longer-term effect than the currently used electrical stimulation therapy. ECT is one of the application devices to stimulate the brain with electric current. However, clinicians say that the method of applying this device is far from the stimulation treatment with barbaric and horrible images usually depicted in movies. " This is a very humane and useful treatment, "said Mr John Barry. Mr. Johu Barry is an assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral science at Stanford University and the director of Stanford Neuropsychiatry and Personal Psychotherapy Clinic. However, this current stimulation process is carried out under general anesthesia conditions to prevent injuries when fixing patients' hands and feet. "The movie Flying Over the Madhouse is an example of injury medicine in Hollywood," said Mr. Michael Cochrane, who worked as a private psychiatric intern in Los Altos, California. I don't know how many people died because of this movie-I don't know how many people didn't get ECT treatment because of watching this movie. Barry added, "ECT is only suitable for people who have tried other treatments. This is an effective and universal method. " However, ECT is only a temporary treatment, and vagus nerve stimulator (VNS) will last longer. DeBattista said, "Patients receiving ECT treatment need other treatments to maintain the therapeutic effect." The success of vagus nerve stimulation test will be measured by standardized scale used to analyze emotional depression. The results will be checked by personal interviews, questionnaires and information obtained from patients' families. DeBattista does not think that vagus nerve stimulator can replace other traditional treatments for depression, including monoamine oxidation inhibitor therapy, lithium therapy and other treatments. Mr. DeBattista said, "It is conceivable that this method can be used for a few patients with morbid depression who do not respond to other treatments." Dr david smith, a physician from Palo Alto, said, "There are many drugs that can be used to treat depression. However, these drugs are very similar to each other, and a considerable proportion of patients are slow to respond to these drugs. For these patients, ECT will be an effective alternative. " Mr Smith thinks that the vagus nerve stimulator (VNS) can be used as an alternative to drug therapy and psychotherapy. He also believes that the vagus nerve stimulator method is also effective for those patients who are effective in ECT treatment. "We don't know if it is really effective, and we don't know what kind of patients will have obvious reactions to it. However, it is always good to provide an alternative method. " So far, the trial has not shown any obvious side effects, although some patients become hoarse during treatment. This is caused by the proximity of the throat to current stimulation. DeBattish said, "This therapy does have potential side effects, and we haven't done enough research to see what adverse effects it has on patients' mood. "Vagus nerve stimulator was originally designed to control epilepsy. Only after patients treated with vagal nerve stimulator reported that their mood had improved did they find its potential in controlling patients' depression. "Even if epilepsy doesn't improve, patients will describe their emotional improvement," DeBattista said. "Some patients say that for some reason, their mood has obviously improved." DeBattista said that many people have used vagal nerve stimulators to control epilepsy for a year, and no obvious side effects have been reported. Stanford's Depression Treatment Center is also developing a magnetic excitation device. This non-invasive treatment device consists of a hand-held scroll placed on the patient's head. This scroll produces a concentrated electromagnetic field to stimulate the human brain.
