背景情况:
- 重度抑郁症 (MDD) 是一种普遍存在的精神健康状况,具有复杂的神经生物学基础.
- 选择性血清素再吸收抑制剂 (SSRI) 是MDD的常见药物治疗方法,但治疗反应可能有所不同.
- 了解人口因素如何影响治疗期间的大脑变化对于个性化医学至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 研究成功SSRI治疗后MDD患者的人口因素和大脑等级变化之间的关系.
- 确定年龄和发病年龄如何影响大脑网络变化和抑郁症症状恢复.
主要方法:
- 扩散张力成像 (DTI) 用于扫描57名MDD患者在SSRI治疗12周前后,以及39名健康对照 (HC).
- 梯度映射技术量化了功能性社区分散,定义了与HC相对的疾病和恢复模式.
- 抑郁症的严重程度使用汉密尔顿抑郁症评分表 (HAMD) 进行评估,包括抑郁症,认知障碍,焦虑和睡眠障碍的子表.
主要成果:
- 抑郁症的疾病模式与年龄有关,老年人表现出更严重的损伤.

Depression: Overview
215
Depression is a prevalent mental illness marked by persistent sadness and lack of interest in previously enjoyable activities. It can take several forms, including major depression, persistent depressive disorder, and bipolar I and II disorders. Symptoms range from emotional changes like chronic worry to physical changes like sleep disturbances and suicidal thoughts. From a neurobiological perspective, depression is believed to be triggered by abnormalities in the brain's prefrontal cortex,...

Antidepressant Drugs: MAOIs and Other Agents
194
Atypical antidepressants, including bupropion (Wellbutrin), mirtazapine (Remeron), nefazodone (Serzone), trazodone (Desyrel), and vilazodone (Viibryd), offer unique mechanisms of action. Bupropion weakly inhibits dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake, aiding depression treatment and smoking cessation, with a low risk of sexual dysfunction. Mirtazapine enhances serotonin and norepinephrine neurotransmission, leading to sedation, increased appetite, and weight gain. As a result, it helps treat...

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
40
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
