There is growing evidence that commonly used antidepressants do not have much effect on depression and chronic diseases. This raises an important question, what measures should American doctors take to treat millions of people with depression?
A new study published in the American Medical Association found that antidepressants are not useful for people with depression who have chronic kidney disease. The results also show that traditional antidepressants are also ineffective for patients with chronic diseases such as asthma and depression in congestive heart failure.
Experts at the O'Donnell Brain Institute say that for the moment, doctors must take other measures to treat people with depression.
Dr. Madhukar Trivedi is a senior author of the American Medical Association and director of the Center for Depression Research and Clinical Care at the O'Donnell Cerebellum Institute at the Southwestern Medical Center in Utah. He said: "Prescription of antidepressants should not be effective, and should not only have side effects. We should carefully study how the brain has changed in these situations."
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly half of Americans have chronic diseases, including cancer, dementia, arthritis and asthma. Many of them also suffer from major depression, including more than half of Parkinson's patients, 41% of cancer patients, and more than a quarter of diabetics.
Dr. Trivedi also said that doctors and patients can not ignore these data in the face of disease. Both parties should understand that these drugs may be useless, and once certain symptoms or side effects occur, you should think of other options.
Trivedi offers a wide range of treatment guidelines for people with depression and is the founder of the Star*D study. He has recently been busy researching antidepressants that can effectively treat depression, and has made some progress through blood tests to determine the results. In addition, he found that there are ways to treat patients who have not started to improve their medications, including ketamine stimulation, electroconvulsive therapy, magnetic stimulation, psychological conditioning, and exercise.
