DEPRESIÓN || FANNY PSIQUIATRA

DEPRESSION Hey friends, I'm happy to greet you once again and with this video. I'll be the advocate for medication. How many times have I heard people tell me I have depression, or I think I have depression, but how am I going to go to a psychiatrist? It's not like I'm crazy. Just giving me some therapy because I don't want to take medication is for cowards. Today, I'm going to explain what happens in our brain when we're depressed, and of course, why it's often essential to take an antidepressant, and why simply "get going, go exercise, or take these vitamins" isn't enough! Our brain works with nerve impulses derived from the multiple substances produced by our brain called neurotransmitters. These are produced and shared by neurons in connections called synapses. This is when one neuron communicates with another and says, "Hello, my friend, neuron!" This communication between neurons produces neural circuits, that is, established connections like the peripheral. Oh, which route am I going to take? There are different paths as well as different circuits that allow communication between one neuron and another. This consequently allows us to think, feel, and reason many ideas and stimuli depending on the area and the neural circuits being activated. We say this simply, but the speed with which all our neurons communicate and the responses we have are truly unthinkable. Now, going into something more concrete, what has been found so far to happen in our brain when we are depressed? There are 3 neurotransmitters primarily involved: #Serotonin #Norepinephrine #Dopamine A dysregulation in the circuits related to norepinephrine and dopamine would give us certain symptoms that we will call negative, such as: Lack of desire Sadness Isolation Lack of interest Difficulty feeling pleasure Low energy Apathy Low self-esteem A dysregulation in the circuits related to norepinephrine and serotonin would give us certain symptoms that we will call positive, or I would say related to anxiety, such as: Feelings of guilt Fear #Anxiety Irritability Hostility Loneliness These ups and downs and increased or impaired responses in the different neural circuits have been linked to: Genetic factors Continuous stress History of stressors or abuse Childhood There may be two ways our brain responds to stress: to make us resilient, making it much more difficult for stressors to affect or depress us, or to make us hypersensitive and potentially depressed. There is decreased function of the dorsolateral prefrontal area and increased function of the amygdala in people with depression. This is a well-known study in psychiatry; published in Stahl's book on psychopharmacology, every psychiatrist wants to meet Dr. Stahl. Not everything is written down; there is much more research to be done, and it is even more complex. But today I'm showing you why #antidepressants work. Some studies suggest that the circuits of the brain's prefrontal cortex are less active in depressed people compared to those who are not, and that the amygdala and ventromedial prefrontal cortex are more active. Let's think about it this way: the prefrontal area is related to judgment, the structure of thought. When we're depressed, that's exactly what happens: we literally can't think. And the amygdala is related to feeling, to primitive reactions like those of anxiety, in the sense of escape. This dysregulation makes the symptoms of depression understandable, including dejection, sadness, and anxiety.
