CLINICAL DEPRESSION AND ANTIDEPRESSANTS Clinical depression, or Major Depressive Disorder ( MDD), is clinically defined as a period of sadness or melancholia severe enough to interrupt the patterns of one’s everyday life and lasting for a period of several weeks or longer Although there has been an awareness of clinical depression for thousands of years, an understanding of its causes, and effective means of treatment, have only come in the last fifty years Clinical depression is an extremely widespread illness, with an estimated 16% of the population suffering from an episode of MDD at least once in their lifetime Currently, clinical depression is the second leading cause of disability in the United States behind heart disease Traditionally, females have reported higher rates of clinical depression than males, but this is thought to be due to the greater stigmas against expressing one’s feelings that are typical among males in most cultures rather than to any true difference in the occurrence of MDD among the two genders Sufferers of clinical depression may exhibit an array of symptoms, some of the most common being increased apathy, disruptions in sleep and eating patterns, a withdrawal from pleasurable activities, and suicidal ideation While not completely understood, clinical depression is known to have both environmental and biological causes, and the most effective treatments involve a two-pronged approach of medication and emotional therapy The mean age for the onset of clinical depression is in the mid to late twenties, and the pressure of transitioning to independent adult life is often as the primary trigger mechanism While specific bouts of clinical depression may be attributable to a certain event or trauma in a people’s life, neurochemistry, which is largely genetic, seems to predispose some people to MDD Clinical depression has been linked in numerous studies with imbalances in neurotransmitters, the chemicals that relay information between cells in the brain Medication to treat clinical depression first became available in the 1950s, and today there are two majors classes of widely prescribed antidepressants: selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) Both classes of drugs operate by limiting the absorption (reuptake) of neurotransmitters, thereby increasing their levels in the brain, but SSRIs operate exclusively on serotonin, while SNRIs effect norepinephrine as well, making them slightly more effective Both classes of drugs take several weeks to build up to effective levels in the bloodstream, and their effectiveness may be compromised by the use of alcohol or other medications For this reason they are carefully controlled by psychiatrists Used alone, these antidepressants have proven to be about as effective as counseling, with reductions of depressive symptoms averaging about 55% and full remission at about 22%, but when used in conjunction with counseling they often result in reduction and remission rates closer to 85% and 45% respectively Furthermore, continued use of antidepressants after the conclusion of the counseling has been proven to greatly decrease the risk of relapse As effective as antidepressants have proven in treating clinical depression, they are not without drawbacks and criticisms Typically, the first few weeks of treatment are when a depressive patient is at the greatest risk of suicide There is some evidence that during this period, antidepressants may actually contribute to this risk because they reduce mental lethargy, and a more active mind may lead to increased suicidal ideation Thus, it is critical that a patient be closely watched during the first few weeks of an antidepressant regimen A further criticism of antidepressants is that they may have unpleasant sexual side-effects which may make them unpalatable to patients, given the long duration of their intended use A final criticism concerns their role in the ever growing field of psychopharmacology Antidepressants are by far the most commonly prescribed of psychiatric drugs, and some mental health professionals worry that their profusion is leading to an over-reliance on chemical solutions to emotional issues The passage discusses all of the following aspects of clinical depression EXCEPT B its official medical definition A its characteristic symptoms C methods of counseling used to treat it D available medications for treatment The word “stigmas” in the passage is closest in the meaning to A cultures B taboos C preventions D inabilities According to paragraph 2, the actual rates of clinical depression are most likely B quickly catching up with those of heart disease A much higher than they were in the past C about the same between men and women D impossible to accurately calculate According to paragraph 3, the pressures of becoming an independent adult often A are the root causes of clinical depression B are irrelevant to clinical depression C precede the onset of clinical depression D only serve to increase the symptoms of depression The word “bouts” in the passage is closest in meaning to B episodes C types D diagnoses A symptoms Based on the information in paragraph 3, it can be inferred that clinical depression is B often a hereditary condition A largely an untreatable condition C entirely chemical in nature D often accompanied by other mental problems The word “compromised” in the passage is closest in meaning to B questioned C altered D endangered A negotiated In paragraph 4, why does the author discuss rates of reduction and remission in clinical depression? A To better demonstrate the efficacy of antidepressants when used with counseling B To suggest that medication is secondary in importance to counseling in treating depression C To discuss the chances for full recovery for people who suffer from clinical depression D To illustrate the vast superiority of SNRIs to SSRIs in the treatment of clinical depression According to paragraph 5, antidepressants may lead to an increased risk of suicide in the first weeks of treatment because A that is the time when their side-effects are strongest B they may stimulate an overproduction of serotonin C they increase mental activity, leading to more thoughts of suicide D they draw attention away from much needed counseling 10 Why some mental health workers oppose the overuse of antidepressants? A They fear that their side effects are too poorly understood B They feel the benefits of antidepressants are overstated C They know that antidepressants not prevent the risk of relapse D they fear that the reliance on antidepressants draws away from counseling D WRITING Part 1: Complete the second sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first sentence, using the word given Do not change the word given (10 pts.)
