As drugs kill tumor cells

As drugs kill tumor cells

A variety of mechanisms for the border combat cancer effect of the drug doxorubicin held responsible. This means an injury to the Erbmaterials the trigger of cell death of cancer cells through a kind of suicide programme, which is also known as apoptosis.

The exact mechanism by doxorubicin mediated cell death has not yet been sufficiently clarified. In one of the Wilhelm Sander Foundation-funded project is a research team led by Dr. Sandra Bien from the group of Prof. Heyo Kroemer (Department of Pharmacology) at the University of Greifswald by the mechanism of cancer cell death triggered doxorubicin resources. With the ever-improving treatment options for infectious diseases and cardiovascular diseases and a related increase in life expectancy cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide. One of the most commonly used cancer drugs, doxorubicin, in the many different cancers that can be used successfully.

Despite a more than 30 years of use of doxorubicin against cancer, the mechanisms on which the effects of based, is still controversial. Presumed mechanisms include the installation of the substance in the genetic material with resulting damage and the formation of the cancer cell harmful oxygen compounds. In addition, it is known that doxorubicin directly processes in the cancer cell activates the cell to move a kind of "suicide" to celebrate. This process is known as programmed cell death or apoptosis. These are throughout life in the human organism process held, inter alia, for embryonic development, the balance of cell growth and cell destruction and the regulation of our immune system is of central importance. Apoptosis can be very different stimuli are triggered. These include various cancer therapeutics and UV radiation. Increasingly, a role of proteins called Cathepsin's family of apoptosis operations discussed. In particular, cathepsin B in the centre stage of cell death. This protein is also under the influence of doxorubicin in tumor cells increased.

It is also interesting the fact that there are approaches to therapy with doxorubicin connections that are under the influence of Cathepsin B in the cancer cell doxorubicin damaging split. Therefore, studies on the involvement of Cathepsin B on doxorubicin triggered by cell of particular interest and could contribute to the effect of doxorubicin in cancer cells better. Furthermore, the results obtained for optimizing a cancer therapy through the use of Cathepsin B-activated cancer therapeutics, and therefore possibly a certain selectivity to damage cancer cells explained.

One goal of the Wilhelm Sander Foundation funded research project is, therefore, the participation of Cathepsin B on doxorubicin-mediated cell death of cancer cells using specific and innovative methods, such as the selective off the protein Cathepsin B, and thus fosters knowledge about the mechanism of the specific effects of doxorubicin in cancer cells.

The Wilhelm-Sander Foundation supports this research project with more than 90,000 €.

Foundation purpose of the foundation is to medical research, especially projects in the framework of the fight against cancer. Since the founding of the Foundation were a total of 160 million euros for the promotion of research in Germany and Switzerland granted. The Foundation is from the estate of the same entrepreneur out in 1973 died.

Signal failure and cancer

Signal failure and cancer

The Special Research / Transregio of Ras-dependent pathways in human cancer "(SFB TR-17) can be continued. The German Research Community for the next four years eight million euros granted. The Marburger from the cell biologist Professor Dr. Martin Eilers coordinated SFB-TR explores the signal transmission in cells and their role in cancer.

On reaching the location of special research area are scientists from Marburg and Würz burg. They examine how key features of tumor cells, for example, uncontrolled cell proliferation, programmed cell death or Chemoresistenz from the interaction of disturbed signaling pathways and the genetic status of the cells emerge.

The Collaborative Research Centre was set up in 2004 and since then a series folgenreicher results. For example, the Marburger working group led by Professor Dr. Andreas Neubauer show why some patients on the standard chemotherapy Cytarabine appeal and others do not, the drug is for acute myeloid leukemia. The results of the scientists may be used to improve treatment protocols. The research group of Professor Dr. Rolf Mueller has significant new findings on the blood supply of tumors proved possible, there are new approaches to therapy, the blood supply of tumors server.

Long Legs Come In

Study: Long legs come in

A current has the following result: The longer the legs, the better to their owners at his counterpart.

In earlier studies were short legs with a greater risk for cardiovascular disease and Type II diabetes in combination. The results of the current study on leg length in the scientific journal "New Scientist". For the investigation responsible scientists at the University of Wroclaw. One of them is Boguslaw Pawlowski, who says: "Long legs are a sign of health." Unconsciously, people probably were looking for a partner, the only way against health strotzes.
In any event, the experiment went like this: The male and female participants, 218 in number, was presented photos on which people with different leg length to be seen. The images were using pre-editing program has been altered so that the people depicted are equal, but with different leg pairs. It has been shown that people with short legs in both sexes bad results. On most attractive are the persons whose legs five percent longer than normal. Then both legs of the normal leg length, as well as ten percent longer legs in the assessment of the subjects on the following rank. Well, women can expect Pumps peripherals… But what do men?

Adieu cigarettes : Smoking is not contagious

Adieu cigarettes:
Smoking is not contagious
The sweetheart, mother, uncles and friends have the tobacco From sworn? Prima, then do you also
Young women and men

The rules Glimm constantly to abdicate, is apparently no individual decision, but is rather unconsciously in the herd instinct. The researchers have now of the Harvard Medical School in collaboration with the University of California at San Diego show. In its analysis of data from the Framingham Heart Study provided, the scientists have to Nicholas Christakis and James Fowler noted that abstinence attempts always within larger with each other directly or indirectly related groups emerge. Whether people to stop smoking, therefore, relies heavily whether family members, acquaintances or relatives also managed.

Synchronous smoke stop

"We have found that in large social networks of large groups of people who may not even know, all coincide with the smoking," says Christakis. The physicians and social scientists reconstructed with his fellow Californian social connections of around 12,000 people within the past 32 years.

Basis for the investigations was the Framhingham Heart Study, a long-term cardiovascular study, which is already in 1948 in Framingham, Massachusetts, was launched. Using data on changes in the family participants - such as birth, marriage, divorce and death - and information about friends, neighbours and work colleagues, the researchers succeeded the impact of abstinence experiments in the social groups to quantify.

Spouse play important role

The influence of spouses who have already successfully given up smoking, according to the scientists is the highest measure. Because if the A stop dropped the probability that the other weiterraucht to 67 percent. When friends and colleagues, the effect of 36 or 34 percent down.

If the friends to large numbers of active smokers, the chances are abstinent to be rather low, as friends of active smokers by 61 percent more likely to smoke themselves. Even friends of friends of a smoker go to the truck to 29 percent more often. Physical proximity plays in the social networks are no roles. For example, smoking or non-smoking neighbors have no influence on the decision to quit had. The example of friends and relatives effect but even if they live far away.


At the bottom of the social networks urged

Christakis and Fowler has also been a change in the composition of social groups observed. "If you back to the year 1971 looks are smokers and non-smokers alike in the centres of the networks to find," says Fowler. During the 1980s and 1990s were smokers but to the brink of social networks have been pushed. This exclusion by smoking may be considered by the researchers not only bad for the physical, but also for the social health. "In contrast to what we in the school may have thought, it seems that smoking is a very bad strategy in order to be popular," says Fowler.

Relaxation - Just once do nothing


Relaxation
Just once do nothing
Who every spare minute verplant, lives wrong. Psychologists know that we need now and then a break
Winter Walk

No appointment, the phone off and just a few hours to do what is a just in the mind. People that not every free minute ver plan, but aware of time for oneself, relax most effective, reports the magazine Psychology Today. Doing nothing is in fact an important prerequisite to discuss thoughts and wishes are clear. "Our brain is constantly on a daily exposed to external stimuli," says the psychologist Stefan Baier from Offenbach. Because constantly and everywhere we should do something in buses and subway stations, we will through screens with advertising messages and messages bombed, we should meet friends, sports, excursions… the other hand, moments in which we are immersed in our bodies go listen, increasingly rare.

"In a weekend will be packed all this, what happened during the working week have been neglected: the house cleaning, the meeting with the best friend, fitness training," says Baier. "If this rhythm outer not stop, we will of course never to rest." But the psychologist knows how we can counter:

* You may as often it is a few hours for themselves. Make your family clear that in this time not to be disturbed.



* People with small children should be left the house. Take a walk. Breath awareness, and enjoy the fresh air.



* Who is at home, should radio and television off. Do what you have in mind, even if the first not so easy. Women like some pampered with a bath or see old photos. "Men relax by in car magazines or browse the alarm clock repair," says Baier.


"Many people find that they behave very differently when they are alone for some time."

Fruit and vegetables are rich in so-called secondary plant substances. The highly helpers to health in many ways. Known representatives are, for example, carotenoids in carrots, polyphenols in grapes, Sulfides in garlic, glucosinolates in cabbage or terpenes in citrus fruits.

To the best possible health effects, we should at least five daily servings of fruit and vegetables to eat. The nutrition experts recommend and leading health organizations like the American Society for Nutrition and the American Cancer Society. These are also members of the health campaign "5 a day", which is for a higher fruit and vegetable consumption committed.

-- 2 small hands full fruits such as berries, grapes
-- 1 handful of an crushed vegetables as 1 kohlrabi or fennel bulb, 1 large tomato
-- 2 hands full salad or crushed vegetables (Broccoli sprouts, Brussels sprouts)
-- 1 handful of dried legumes (lentils, beans)

A portion of fresh fruit, you can also times against 1 / 2 handful of (25 g) dried fruit exchange. In addition, a glass of fruit or vegetable juice - preferably freshly squeezed - one of the 5 servings replace. Also nuts in small quantities (1 / 2 handful of equivalent to about 25 g) may occasionally 1 portion cover.

Tips for every day

The first portion, you can easily with breakfast. Do you eat a cereal with 1 apple, 1 orange or 1 banana. Muesli muffel can also her favorite sandwich and enjoy a glass of orange juice supplement or 1 handful of fresh fruit to eat. Morning session covers a sandwich with 1 handful of Nibblers vegetables (carrot, cucumber slices, tomato) the second portion. You can lunch with crispy vegetables or salad again one to two servings. Simply doubling the portion of vegetables that you eat anyway. After lunch provides a further portion of fruit. Are you pure too boring, mix it with yogurt or curd. At night you have a salad, vegetable soup or a fresh Nibblers vegetables reached your target - without weighing and measuring. Do it simply, as much as possible to eat vegetables, as a supplement or main dish, but also as Nibblers raw vegetables or salad.

Make sure you have colorful variety. In winter, frozen vegetables also a valuable alternative to fresh vegetables. It is fine for quick vegetable dishes, soups, sauces and on raunds. Desserts such as milk or rice pancakes are great with fresh or frozen fruit operation.

Do something very quickly, are also ready meals. A lush occupied vegetable pizza or a vegetable dish from the freezer can also contributed to the daily ration vegetables.

Reflex Therapy: Full pressure relax



Reflex Therapy:
Full pressure relax
A targeted massage between toe and heel, Spann and sole can alleviate complaints
Foot reflexology


Monika B. Wies bathe suffered from constantly under school. Therefore, the doctor rubbed her physiotherapy applications. "How is that for?" Asked the 53-year-old office clerk. Finally, did their every touch in the area very hurt. The physician knew Council and gave her the address of a foot reflexology hera peutin.

In fact devoted to the physiotherapist Sigrid Klotzbach not the same Monika B's shoulders, but, after a detailed discussion of their patient's feet in their hands.
"A patient with shoulder problems no direct movement or touch, I first foot reflexology treatments to the acute something to alleviate pain," says Klotzbach doing so. In 70 to 80 percent of such cases, it has a success and can then proceed with the actual treatment.

Millennia old therapy

In many ancient cultures recorded on stone tablets about the Maya and in records of traditional Chinese medicine, found the first traces of this therapy. The American physician Dr. William Fitzgerald (1872 to 1942), the method at the beginning of the 20th Century in the western world. Today, especially the foot reflexology treatments, such as the nurse and masseuse Hanne Marquardt developed 50 years ago, supporters in physiotherapy and natural healing practices and clinics.

In this method, users will assume that our entire body with all its internal organs, tissues and regulatory processes reflected in our feet. For example, the toes to the head area assigned spaces between the toes correspond to the upper Lymphwegen of the head and neck. About the big toe bales therapists encourage the trachea and oesophagus. And where the little toe in the mid-foot bones transferred, there is contact with the shoulder area.

Different attacks

From heel to toe, from sole to Spann assessed and handled the foot reflexology therapists also with different grips and more or less strong pressure to the individual body regions. "In an initial investigation, we first determine how the tissue and skin at the foot feel, and the patient tells us when and where the pressure he experienced as painful," says therapist Klotz bach.

Following a detailed "walk diagnosis of" trying to professionals in the subsequent therapy hours, the prominent institutions and sectors within the assigned areas on foot to stimulate or calm. Frequently This way you can disturbances favors able influence, sometimes even disappear. Above all, doctors want the self-healing powers of their patients. Physiotherapists as Sigrid Klotzbach, however, also pointed out that this work at the foot often a useful and complementary measure, but no diagnosis from a doctor.

The application range of supportive therapy is wide. This allows them to problems during the menstrual help, such as painful or heavy bleeding and relieve headaches. About feet trying to therapists, the endocrine system disorders as well cycle to fix. "Foot reflexology treatments can also facilitate the birth," notes Klotzbach. Not least because she spasmolytic and relaxing. Digestive complaints and mild disorders of the urinary bladder emptying are other areas where this method has proved its worth.

VITAMINS REDUCE RISK OF HEART ATTACK !

Vitamins reduce risk of heart attack
Vitamins protect the heart. Anyone who regularly or occasionally to vitamins to take, reduced risk of a heart attack to get. This is the positive result of a study of Swedish scientists.

They regularly take multi-vitamins? Good thing, because according to a recent study, people rarely get a heart attack, which regularly or occasionally even the daily dose necessary to take vitamins. This effect seems even independent of other lifestyle habits proceedings: Neither the rich consumption of fruit and vegetables still sporting activities or the smoking habits played a major role.


This was a study of Swedish researchers with about 3,000 participants. Of these, suffered a total of 1,296 (386 women and 910 men) first time a heart attack, but they survived. 42 percent of women and only 27 percent of men had regularly or occasionally used vitamins. In the comparison group with 1,685 participants who had no heart attack, attacked more volunteers to food supplements. 57 percent of women and 35 percent of men said they at least occasionally to take vitamins. Eight out of ten study participants took on multi-vitamins.

Here again shows that women tend to greater health awareness than men.

With one stroke, everything is different

With one stroke, everything is different

Risk factors for stroke: alcohol, smoking, excess weight The Stroke is the third leading cause of death. Alcohol, smoking and greasy food in excess favour the disease. The proper recognition of symptoms can be decisive.

That Helfried S. chosen this morning had a massage appointment, was his luck: While the 65-year-old from Ginsheim-Gustavsburg waited, he suddenly felt his left arm and leg no longer. He was very bad and dizzy and his left side was completely deaf. At rising almost umgefallen he would be and could only call for help. The physiotherapist thought immediately to a stroke and called the ambulances and rescue vehicles, so that Helfried p. 20 minutes later already on the way to the clinic. The ambulances had by telephone the hospital informed, a neurologist team waited already on the 67-year-olds.

Upon arrival in the clinic was his left side still completely paralyzed - a life-threatening situation! Now had everything very quickly. Even during the X-ray examination of the head doctors decide on the further therapy. Because the stroke has been confirmed, a small blood clot has a closed artery in the brain. A part of the brain was no longer flow, which had caused the paralysis. With a special drug, the clot dissolved. Helfried S. was on the Stroke Unit brought a special station for stroke patients. His heart rate and blood pressure were continuously monitored, the drug (lysis) drips slowly into his vein. He was afraid his arm and his leg never be able to move, but after two hours returned slowly the feeling back and a few hours later, he was able to actually move everything back to normal and was overjoyed.

He has really lucky, so fast in the clinic came to be. It remained only a small movement disorder in her left hand. Intensive researched the doctors to the cause of the stroke, including an ultrasound examination of the neck vessels. The right main artery to the brain showed a significant calcification of the vessel einengte. A small clot occurred since the closure and as a result of the stroke. As could happen at any time, has p. Helfried a few days later undergo an operation in which a vessel to fix the artery has been extended. Also which he has recovered well and must now return home.

An island in diet

An island in diet

The Frisian Long Island has recently oog good quarter ton easier. Nearly two dozen residents hungerten and schwitzten three months effective media fat from the hips

The man looks like from the sofa, when other on the wheel abs trample and the lust for beer and chips to fight. The thought also seems to be a private channels and quickly put an island in the spotlight of the cameras on diet: Under the motto "Every kilogram counts" 21 islanders tried for three months, their excess pounds in the abdomen, legs and get rid of Po. "All participants highly motivated," says fitness coach Michael Deminatus Net Doctor in the interview his first impression of the diet force. Together with a nutritionist, he helped the thickness of Langeoog in the fight against the kilos.

Heavy weighty Islanders

The removing most of the participants were urgently needed. Together, they initially proud kilo in 2170 the balance. Because some were not just moppelig but even obese (obese). For example, the 21-year-old Ramona: fat and calorie bombs, the young cook every day in the hand - and often enough in the mouth. At the beginning of the diet weighed the young woman at a height of 1.68 meters impressive 105 kilos.

Ramona is not an isolated case. About two-thirds of all adult men and more than half of women in England, according to the Health Report to the Federal round. This also applies to about 15 percent of children and adolescents, reported the Association of obesity in childhood and adolescence (AGA).

Sports can be found

With inidiv vidual sports tips tried Deminatus island residents palatable to the decline. In individual training showed that physical conditions, the participants had. The advice had to be tailor-made, because gymnastics, jogging or walking does not correspond to any people.

The 18-year-old Kevin, for example, was able to measure fitness for any really excited. His 127 kilos had been the hairdresser brings back problems. The fitness coach had to search long until he is the right attraction for the teenager was: "With kick-boxing, it worked."

Motivation - stay tuned!

The motivation to play for the success of pants from an important role. Marius, 14, was the youngest and rich with 134 kilos at the same time worst candidate. The 1.85-metre ver students expressed alone in the school six break bread and hung soccer flaccid between the goalposts. His own sports program, he simply did not initially. "I had to get him somehow different," says the coach.

Speeches, motivate and explain not only give up - it took until Marius kapierte the importance of exercise and healthy eating. "From a 14-year-olds can not expect the same understanding as a 24-year-olds," said the expert. His patience finally paid off: "Marius has a real sense slowly change through and become the Vorzeige candidates." Eventually he brought the other for sports training and not vice versa.

Tight stomach, healthy body

Without the three cosmetic products you just can not live?
1st Mascara! If one morning wakes up and have a bad day - you know, with pimples and eye rings - then mascara can directly fresh look. My favorite is "Dior Show. This mascara eyelashes are glued to the story! "Dior Show" will have their eyes "boom".
2nd Make-up cleaner! "H20" of Vichy is fantastic. I believe that there is on one half of oil and the other from water. Man, there just on a cotton pad and wipes the face of so until it is clean.
3rd From deckstift! It is good to cover pimples. I can not help doing it - I love it, pickaxes to press! With Abdeckstift can also conceal the eyes. I like the pen by Laura Mercier, because it is two different shades, so that it is in summer and winter use.

What is your beauty routine, to a beautiful skin to keep?
Whatever happens, I always schinke me, before I go to bed. As a model I have almost every day makeup on my face. My skin must then from time to even breathe. My friend never sees me with make-up. Well, perhaps for five minutes - if I work from home and before I come to him, "Bye bye" and say to the bathroom hurry to me. I do not understand women who do not want their friends without make-up. Why?

How pflegst your hair?
I remember when I made the whole show, and my hair was an absolute mess. The styling has been totally ruined. Now I no longer shows, so are my hair okay. I wash my hair not so often and if I wash them, then only the hair roots. I like that of Pantene shampoo for blonde hair. It smells so good! I conditioner only on the peaks. This keeps the hair healthy. Once a month, or when I think, do I have a bit more for my hair. I use "Keratins serum and winkle my hair for 20 minutes in a warm towel. That makes it nice soft.

Depression


Summary:
Depression is characterized by conditions of deep, prolonged depression, inner emptiness, deadness, irrational self-accusations, business fears, destruction feelings, thoughts of suicide, sleep disturbances, loss of appetite or in hidden form by certain physical symptoms. In general, between endogenous and neurotic depression distinction. For the emergence of endogenous depression is more a physical cause. The neurotic depression are unresolved psychological conflicts as a basis suspects.

* CAUSES
* COMPLAINTS
* DIAGNOSIS
* TREATMENT


Causes
Almost all human beings are occasionally depressed or "depressed". The cause of Mood lows
are diverse and have not always intrusive experiences such as the loss of work, a separation or bereavement. Even physical or mental surplus or debt or simply not enough light and sunshine in winter can trigger depression
The transition from such a temporary state of disorder to medical dysfunction depression is often blurred and difficult agreement. But in contrast to the emotional problem with which the life still is managed depression affecting the people in all aspects: The thinking, the feelings, the behavior changes, the physical health is waning a normal life is impossible. Professionals are two forms of depression:

*

Endogenous depression arise regardless of mental or physical illness,

*

reactive depression are a "reaction" to problems.

To the emergence of mood disorder, there are various theories. In general, is now managed by an interaction and mutual reinforcement in various sectors expected.

These include

*

Bio-genetic factors: In families with depressive members is clearly more to other disease cases, the tendency may, through the generations;

*

Physical factors: In the brains of depressed are too few of the messenger substances serotonin and distributed to the communication of nerve cells. There are also diseases, depression-how, as thyroid disorders or Parkinson's disease. One possible explanation is that women often fall ill, the hormone budget. Especially known depressive rules before menstruation or shortly after birth during the week-bed;

*

The environment: In approximately one third of sufferers of the disease is a life event incriminating progress. These include problems or congestion in the family and job - increasingly expectant triggers are burn-out or harassment in the workplace - financial hardships, loss / death of a loved one or new phases of life such as the pension;

*

Early experience: Psychological models see depression as a possible response to early learned behavior patterns. Particularly at risk are people who are not as active designers of their lives. This explains the higher proportion of depression among women, for example, still far more often nominated activity.
Many have already Depressive against the disease a pessimistic world view. They make themselves happy to failures, while they successes happiness or attributed to chance, and often interpret situations for them in the worst light. Many are also above average performance, strict with himself and particularly of responsibility.

*

Mental conflicts: The neurotic depression are unresolved psychological conflicts suspected as the cause.

*

Lack of sun and light: The less severe seasonal depression is a lack of sun and light caused or strengthened.

An increased risk for depression have

*

Single people and people without social support, as older people but also women who are in marriage double-and triple-exposed;

*

People who in other diseases such as mental illness alcohol, drug addiction, anxiety disorders or eating disorders suffer; vice versa depression favour the emergence of such diseases. That could be accompanied by an explanation for the lower number of diagnosed depression in men: You are often the bottle to cover their problems.

*

Some medicines or the withdrawal of which can trigger severe depression.
Complaints
Depressive most people feel sad, powerless, passive and without value. You fall every action and every decision difficult - some may become difficult to speak, think or remember and lose interest in operations around them. Many are beginning to fear situations before, the earlier problems have been tackled. Frequently, even the future existence and fears.
The body reacts with sleep disorders, increased as back pain or headache, digestive problems, appetite and a desire for sex will be lost. Hopelessness, drive weakness and anxiety lead to the affected withdraw from their environment. It is often about death and dying under consideration - suicide becomes a topic.
Especially for endogenous depression patients in the morning often under dry mouth. The atmosphere is the worst in the morning and improved during the day. Many patients report that they are after nightfall better. In particularly serious cases it can also lead to depressive delusions.
On average, every sixth person suffers some point in the life of a depressive disorder, women twice as often as men. A real depression develop 19 percent of women and 12 percent of men. The WHO estimates that the disease by 2020 the most common reason for early retirement will be.
At the age increases the number of depression: 20 percent of people over 65 are depressed. Aceto is also that children can be depressed already.
About half of those affected will be within the first three months healthy again, it may be one quarter of one year. 70 percent of New diseased
later in life have further depression phases.
Depression generally reduce the immune response of the body.
Without treatment, high suicide risk: A large part of all suicides is to depressive disorders. About half in the course of making life a suicide attempt, up to 15 percent of depression patients put their lives prematurely to an end. While men go radical: When suicide four men for every woman (in old men
the rate is particularly high), suicide attempts, the ratio reversed.
All who also failed suicide attempts must be taken very seriously.
Diagnosis
From a treatment lungs needy
depression is spoken, if the depressed mood for at least two weeks and lasted more of the following are true:

*

The resentment is stronger than usual, keeps most of the day and (almost) every day and is also due to external circumstances hardly affected.

*

The interest and pleasure in activities that would otherwise have fun, including sex, is lost.

*

It is difficult, "in the corridors"; those concerned feel weak and tired, often lacking even the energy to leave the bed.

*

Self-confidence and self-esteem are strongly attached.

*

Even basic lots allegations or inappropriate, strong feelings of guilt are overwhelming.

*

The thoughts circling repeatedly to death or suicide. Sometimes even the first steps in that direction.

*

*

Those affected are particularly nervous, restless, can not sit still, or they are little and slowed down.

*

It comes to sleeping disorders.

*

Mild depression
At least two of the first three symptoms, at least four symptoms to meet; costs necessary to do great effort.

Severe depression resources
At least two of the first three symptoms, a total of at least six symptoms to meet, they keep away from necessary to do.

Severe depression
The first three and at least five other symptoms to take, it is almost never or no longer possible to their daily lives.
Treatment
Prevention and light cases
A wonderful remedy for depression is regular exercise outdoors. Here are two factors: the movement itself and the daylight. Sun is doing especially well, but also through the cloud cover is enough light during the day. Even ten minutes a day outdoors stroke in the autumn and winter the soul.
Balanced, active and happy people are also more difficult living conditions less easily thrown off track as people who tend to, very self-critical and constantly dissatisfied or believe helpless situations to be delivered.
Of course, fate strokes difficult to cope, and mourning is an important process, sufficient time must be given. But if life as a whole by a loss or a stroke of fate into question, it's time to seek help. Who's life often referred to as gray and empty feeling, often sad fate or a stroke not long comes out way may try to use a reverse psychological support to more joy to create.
Against endogenous depression is currently no known prevention.
Even when slight depression, it makes sense, the house doctor and a therapy to start: The earlier the treatment, specifically the better are the chances of cure.
In order to alleviate acute symptoms and relapses to avoid drugs are usually recommended. Once the mood has improved ( "maintenance therapy"), the treatment successes but better if parallel a psychotherapy is made. In a phase of acute depression psychotherapy alone has not been successful.

Psychotherapy
Not every treatment method is the same for all good and it may take a while until the correct method is found.
The cognitive behavior therapy in thinking and action patterns to reality and negative self-assessments to change and to increase the activity.
Family Therapeutic approaches deal with communication patterns in the family and the social environment.
Depth Psychological methods determine early psychological injuries and conflicts on the track.
Also talk therapy or non-verbal procedure in question.

Movement and light
Even if it depressed people usually difficult to adjust to: seasonal and depression can be a light exercise program wonders. Proven, a daily, fast "Healthy march" in daylight for at least one hour.
Another method, in the cold season in enough light to come is the photo or light therapy with a special, the sunlight to perceived
artificial light. The lights have no effect.

St. John's wort
St. John's wort in concentrated form is a proven effective natural medicines. "Of course," does not "harmless"! St. John's wort can be used with many drugs, such as cardiovascular products, hormonal contraception or epilepsy medicines to exchange effects. It should therefore always with great caution and in consultation with the doctor used.
Johanniskrauttee alone can not work against depression.

Dealing with depression health
Often noted family members or close friends the early symptoms of depression, such as those affected often cry in the morning or can not get up in
Hopelessness sink.
Dealing with this situation, this "new", "other" people can be a difficult and troublesome. It is important to realise that the parties concerned not simply "take along" in order to improve the situation but that it is a serious disease which is handled.
Here, the immediate environment positively to the ill effect: they look, the symptoms seriously, the parties concerned to animate activity - such as movement - and by supporting them in need for a therapy is pressing. Sometimes is sure instinct needed: to great pressure and impatience, the sick more in the withdrawal of pushing too much consideration makes them perhaps the urgency of treatment is not clear.
If you are overwhelmed with the situation feels, should not be afraid, advice and support at specialised facilities, doctors or self-help groups.

Medical treatment
Once the quality of life affected by depressive symptoms, is professional help with medication to recommend - it should not wait until thoughts of suicide occur.

Drugs
A close cooperation with specialists in severe depression is particularly important to determine whether and what resources are in a particular case - in about half of the cases, they do not - to minimize side effects, and to carry out other means to a switch. Any change - the dose, the nature of the drug, the frequency or time of revenue - must act jointly with the doctor.
It takes several weeks before an effect is felt, is still no improvement should be noted, should be on a different drug to be changed.
The other hand, the money is then used when the mood has improved: A sudden withdrawal can - and often more serious - cause relapse. This is highly endogenous depression: The maintenance therapy should never be interrupted. Today, there are a number of drugs that are not addictive.
Relatively few side effects, the modern serotonin and serotonin-norepinephrine inhibitor resumption or selective MAO inhibitors. For non-response may still be useful, with the older products - or Tetra cyclical antidepressants - to begin.
In the case of recurring disease stages or at high risk of suicide is sometimes prescribed lithium or Lithium requires periodic monitoring of lithium levels in the blood, so there is no poisoning can occur, the dates should be strictly adhered to.
Other resources are rarely used valproic acid, Oxacarbamazepin and lamotrigine.
Who in addition to suffering from delusions, a combination of antidepressants with a Neuroleptikum try.
For persistent insomnia and anxiety attacks, the therapy by anxiety substances (Anxiolytika) and sedatives (benzodiazepines) may be added. You should because of the high risk of only a few weeks can be used.

Complementary measures
Light therapy obtained seasonal diseases good effects.
In very severe depression, for which no medication has helped, an electroconvulsive tried and if successful regularly. It is under general anesthesia and muscle relaxing means to combat pain. As previously temporary memory disorders often were, is now mostly only with a
Electrode working memory performance was less affected.
