A paper on mental illness
Everyone is no stranger to depression. As a product of this era, almost every once in a while, we can always hear the news that all kinds of stars suffer from depression. As early as a few years ago, the National Health Organization of the United States also listed depression as the first disabling disease in the world. At present, about 300 million people in the world suffer from depression. Although compared with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer and other seemingly more deadly diseases, depression does not seem to be taken seriously in many people's minds, and not many people know it. Some people even define it as "bad mentality". It is precisely because of this ignorance that people with depression are often unable to get timely and effective treatment because of various psychological misunderstandings, which also brings endless pain to themselves and the people around them. After 20 years of research, the depression genes that have been studied for decades have nothing to do with depression. According to a paper published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, the researchers evaluated the genetic data of about 620,000 people and selected 18 depression-related genes, and found that the depression gene (SLC6A4), which has been studied for decades, has little to do with depression. (The original paper was published in the American Journal of Psychiatry in March this year) There are two main sources, with a total of 620,000 people,178,000 people from the British Biobank, and 440,000 people from the whole genome analysis conducted by the international cooperative research team-Psychogenomics Federation (PGC) last year. (Some of the "star genes" listed in this paper and related research trends) Through the sample study of 620,000 people, 1 8 depression genes appeared in/kloc-0 * *, but none of these genes reached a significant level. It is even found that the prediction of depression is not as good as randomly selecting some loci from the genome. (All marked letters are "stars", and those exceeding the dotted line above are generally considered as effective genes. Researchers have no choice but to say that they have spent more than 20 years and countless human and financial resources to study things that don't exist, and more than 1000 previous papers have become waste paper. What is the world in the eyes of patients with depression? Due to human misunderstanding of the causes of depression, it will naturally bring more pressure to the patients with depression around them. Some people think that only people with bad mentality and introversion are more prone to depression, while others think that misfortune and frustration in life are the causes of depression ... As a depressed person, what will the world be like? As mentioned above, depression is not caused by a person's personality or psychological defects, and ordinary comfort is of little help or even harmful to patients with depression. So what is the world in the eyes of people with depression? Maybe follow in the footsteps of people with depression and feel how he sees the world? We can understand this brain "bad cold" well! We should follow the picture below. Maybe we have different ideas. Disclaimer: The above content comes from the Internet, and the copyright belongs to the original author.
