Weight gain is also a reason why some stop their medications despite feeling less depressed or anxious while using them. Now, a new study sheds light on just how much weight gain might occur — on average — while taking eight of the most commonly prescribed antidepressants. Weight gain by poundsThe study, published Monday in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine, used electronic health record prescription and body mass to compare weight gain among more than 183,000 people. Not all patients perceive weight gain negatively, although it is more common for patients to want to avoid weight gain than to seek it when taking an antidepressant, Petimar said. “Our study didn’t explore reasons why bupropion was associated with less weight gain than other antidepressants, but other studies have similarly concluded that it is associated with less weight gain than other common antidepressants,” he added.

Some 30% to 40% of people with depression do not experience symptom improvement after trying one treatment, according to the study. And about 30% of people diagnosed with depression go on to experience treatment-resistant depression when the disorder doesn’t improve after multiple treatment attempts. Mapping depression in the brainThe authors used data from 801 adult participants who were previously diagnosed with depression or anxiety, and 137 healthy control group participants. The grant supports a five-year project involving 4,500 participants, which is centered on the development of a better diagnosis and treatment tool for depression biotypes. This method isn’t intended to replace or be the primary choice for assessments of individual cases of depression, Williams said.

Roughly 15% of participants who discontinued antidepressants experienced withdrawal symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, nausea, insomnia and irritability, according to the review published Wednesday in the journal The Lancet Psychiatry. The review is the first publication of a larger project on antidepressant withdrawal symptoms, the authors said. The authors also discovered the medications most often linked with withdrawal symptoms were desvenlafaxine, venlafaxine, imipramine and escitalopram. The rate of withdrawal symptoms in pharma-funded studies was about the same as trials not funded by pharmaceutical companies. The study didn’t provide information on the duration of withdrawal symptoms, but other research suggests they can last for up to two weeks in most cases, Keedwell said.

☆ Sleep experts explain why your dreams are so vivid that you remember them long after waking up

The most vivid dreams typically occur during rapid eye-movement (REM) sleep. A typical sleep cycle lasts about 90 to 110 minutes and transitions between two primary stages: non-rapid eye movement and rapid eye-movement (REM) sleep. Why your dreams are so vivid and sometimes disturbingYou're more likely to remember dreams closer to waking up. Therefore, we're more likely to remember dreams closer to waking up compared to right after falling asleep. Moreover, "we are more likely to remember dreams if … they are upsetting or if we consciously try to remember them," Mundt added.

Printre alte descoperiri, medicii au aflat că decesul fostului fotbalist nu a fost subit, acesta agonizând înainte să moară între șase și opt ore.Autopsia a mai stabilit că fostul căpitan al naționalei Argentinei a murit ca urmare a unui "edem pulmonar acut și a insuficienței cardiace". Aceste informații vor fi decisive în procesul care a fost deschis de mai multe persoane, printre care avocatul Matías Morla, care acuză neglijența medicilor în cazul lui Maradona. Ipoteza unei crime de către cei care se ocupau de sănătatea fostului fotbalist este vehiculată din nou. „Este important ce reiese din aceste analize, dar și ce nu reiese. La prima vedere informațiile confirmă că Maradona a primit medicamente psihoactive, dar nu a primit medicamente pentru afecțiunea cardiacă", a declarat unul dintre investigatorii instanței pentru agenția de știri Télam .
