Combination of Medicine and Therapy Called Best for Depressed Teens (1/2)

Depression can cause long periods of sadness and hopelessness, feelings of low self-worth, even physical pain. It is the leading cause of suicide.

The World Health Organization says more than one hundred twenty million people worldwide suffer from depression. But many people may not know it can start at a young age. In the United States, for example, health officials estimate that about five percent of adolescents are depressed.

Researchers in the United States have just reported on a study of more than three hundred patients ages twelve to seventeen. All suffered from major depression disorder, the most common form of the disease. The researchers divided them into three groups. One received the antidepressant drug Prozac. Another received cognitive behavioral therapy. The third received both.

The study found that the best treatment was a combination of antidepressant and cognitive behavioral therapy, or C.B.T. This kind of therapy teaches patients to recognize and deal with the thoughts that can result from depression. It centers on current feelings instead of past events.

抑郁症可引起长期的情绪低落、绝望、自我价值感下降，甚至引起生理疼痛。抑郁症也是自杀的主要原因。

世界卫生组织称全球有超过1亿2千万抑郁症患者。但是很多人并不知道抑郁症是从年轻时开始的。例如在美国，卫生部估计大约有5%的青少年可能患有抑郁症。

美国的研究者刚刚发布了他们对300名12-17岁抑郁患者的研究报告。他们都患有重性抑郁症，这是该疾病常见的发病形式。研究者将他们分为3组。1组服用抗抑郁药物氟西汀。第二组的则接受行为认识疗法。第三组则同时接受上述2种治疗

研究发现，最好的治疗方法是同时结合抗抑郁药物治疗和认知行为治疗（CBT）。这种治疗能够使病人认识和处理那些可能导致抑郁情绪的想法，使其关注于当下的感觉而非已发生的事件。
