For 10 years, workers have had initially expressed a high level of job strain and then said to perceive their jobs as less stressful had the same risk of developing depression than those with low-level tasks of tension.

“This suggests that interventions aimed at reducing job strain significantly reduce the risk of depression,” the team writes Jianli Wang, University of Calgary, Alberta, in American Journal of Epidemiology.

In a period of 30 days, the researchers found that 4.4% of American workers develop severe depression and stress (or tension) labor is associated with the risk of developing depression.

To investigate how changing the level of job strain in time changes the probability of a person to suffer from depression, the researchers looked at 4,866 participants in the Population Health Survey.

All participants had responded to the level of job strain in 1994-1995 and 2000-2001. The team was divided into four groups: people with low job stress in both periods, those with high job strain in both periods, people with low stress in the first period of high stress in the second and who had high stress initial work on the end.

8% of participants with high job strain had suffered permanent major depressive episode during the study, versus 4% of those with low permanent stress.

In people with less stressful jobs, the risk of developing major depression was 4.4%, as opposed to 6.9% of the group with increasingly stressful occupation.

The researchers also found that in the group with high job strain constant, only those who rated their health as good or excellent at baseline had an increased risk of developing depression. In those who had fair or good, that risk had not changed.

“These participants have accepted the reality of having poor health and being exposed to several risk factors for health,” the authors suggest. Given that the way in which employees evaluate the stress level of their work varies with frequency, the researchers say more studies are needed to measure job stress in shorter periods to better understand how stress in the workplace is associated with depression.

Everyone who has had depression or anxiety will know the effect she is sleepy. Anxiety affects the modern generation varies from the phone to break relations in all their many forms.

Insomnia occurs because of a mind that refuses to stop coming down. You cannot expect a good night’s sleep if the psychological and physiological conditions are not conducive to a good night’s sleep repos ante. Dormer occurs because “everything is right with the world” is the mentality of the individual. The ability to sleep depends on a sense of security in the bedroom and a sense of comfort in bed.

Diagnosis

The diagnosis of clinical disease is based on the presence in the patient of the following elements:

• Sudden onset and progressively worsening.
• Presence of impairment of memory, especially recent memory, especially at the onset of the disease.
• The neurological examination is negative for abnormal gait, incoordination of movements or abnormal reflexes.

Treatment

There is no cure for this disease. The drug treatment is aimed at treating some symptoms of the patient (anxiety, agitation, insomnia, depression) in order to reduce the disruption caused by the disease.

If you are a person in charge of caring for a patient with Alzheimer’s disease and this administer the medication, remember that:

• No change in dose of a drug (either increase or decrease) only if the doctor explicitly.
• Store medicines in a cool, dry and protected from light and keep the patient out of reach, preferably locked, since the person can take more dosages of the prescription by the doctor, with consequent danger of intoxication.

Alcohol, obesity and depression abuse seem to go together in many women, revealed the first study of how these three disorders are interrelated over time in young adults.

Men and young women participants had followed since 1985, when they were in fifth grade. The team analyzed the results of interviews conducted when participants were 24, 27 and 30 years to understand the interrelationships between depression, obesity and alcohol abuse.

At age 21, 8 per cent of women and 12 per cent of men had at least two of these three problems. At the time, having more than one of those problems was more common in women but less common in men.

The only relationship observed in the obese men was for 27 years, they were less likely to be depressed at 30. But the 27 depressed women were three times more likely at 30 years to meet the clinical criteria that define alcohol abuse.

Women with alcohol problems at 24 were four times more likely to be obese at age 27, while being obese to 27 doubled the risk of having depression at age 30.

Meanwhile, people of both sexes on low incomes had an increased risk of depression and obesity.

The tendency to have a style for which the person becomes obsessed with playing and negative experiences would be one of the problems attached to alcohol abuse, obesity and depression.

Dr. Susan Nolen-Hoeksma, a psychologist at Yale, called the “toxic triangle” of “eat, drink and think too much,” they add. She showed that women-and men-with this style are more depressed and more likely to binge drink or food to cope with emotional problems.

There are interventions for the three legs of the toxic triangle, such as exercise, mental training and stress management.

Strategies to treat depression, excessive alcohol consumption and obesity are problems with the “reward system” brain should help people to find alternatives autorrecompensa to food and alcohol.
