抑郁检测[如何确定自己是否抑郁]

喋喋不休

这里是《美国之音特别英语》的报导。

郁闷症是一种病态，在此状况下，人具有激烈的哀痛心情，这种心情到了影响人的日常正常日子。

缺乏活力、对从前感爱好的工作也没爱好了、思想出问题、失眠、食欲欠好、有自杀的想法都是郁闷症的常见预兆。一些身体上的不适症状：比方头痛、背疼和胃疼都都与郁闷症有潜在的相关。

许多时分，郁闷症患者并没有意识到他们自己的哀痛状况是病态，所以不寻求医学医治。

医学专家说，每个人都会受郁闷心情的影响，没有办法能阻挠它。但是，它是能够医治的，患者医治得越早，作用越好。

在美国，郁闷症十分遍及，大约有2.000.000患者，但是，有三分之二的人没有去寻求医师的协助。

美国防备服务工作组由许多健康专家组成，该安排对出书的研讨成果进行了核对，而且对防备保健方面提出了许多主张。

美国防备服务工作组最近出书了一项研讨，该研讨说，医师在正常的上班时刻应该对成年患者做“郁闷症”查看。Alfred Berg是西雅图华盛顿大学的博士，他是此项研讨的领导。他说，没有依据显现哪一种郁闷症的检测办法好，哪一种差，有时，问几个简略的问题比一些杂乱的检测办法作用还要好。比方像这样的问题：在最近的两个周你是否感到哀痛和失望？你是否在做任何工作受都没有爱好或愉悦感？假如患者对任何一问题答复是，医师将进一步问更多的问题。这些问题协助医师承认，患者的症状是否是短暂性的，或症状继续的时刻是否超过了正常的规模，或是否涉及到日常的日子。

专家说，药物有或许成功治好郁闷症，不必药物，专业的心理医师经过说话的方法也能够医治郁闷症。

Depression is a medical condition that causes intense feelings of sadness. Depression interferes with daily life.

Common signs of depression are lack of energy, loss of interest in things you once enjoyed, difficulty thinking, problems sleeping or eating and thoughts of death. Depression also can be hidden by physical problems such as headache, back pain, and stomach sickness. 。

Often, people suffering depression do not realize their feelings of sadness are due to a medical condition. They do not seek medical treatment. Medical experts say depression can affect anyone. There is no way to prevent it. However, the disease can be treated successfully. The sooner an affected person gets medical help, the better the chances of a quick and full recovery.

Depression is a common illness in the United States. It affects about twenty-million adults. However, as many as two-thirds of them do not seek medical treatment for depression.

?The United States Preventive Services Task Force is a group of health experts. The group examines published research and makes suggestions about preventive health care.

The Preventive Services Task Force recently published a study that says doctors should test all adult patients for depression during normal office visits. Alfred Berg of the University of Washington in Seattle led the study. Doctor Berg says there is no evidence that one method of testing for depression works better than another method. He says asking two simple questions worked as well as using more complex methods.

The two questions are: "Have you felt sad or hopeless during the past two weeks?" And, "Have you felt little interest or happiness in doing things?" If a patient answered "yes" to either question, the doctor asked more detailed questions. These questions helped establish whether the problems were temporary or if they had lasted longer than a normal time. The questions also established if the problems interfered with the patient's daily activities.

Medical experts say patients can be successfully treated for depression with medicines or by talking with a trained professional who treats mental disorders.
