After scientists at the University of "Cambridge", that depression is an organic disease. They said that they found that his treatment lies in the anti-inflammatory, after the diagnosis of depression as an organic disease caused by a defect in the immune system, according to the British "Telegraph".
This new scientific study corresponds to many previous studies, which linked depression and the immune system, and indicated that it is an organic disease and not a disease of pure mental origin, according to the site, "Sky News."
The treatment of depression is currently based largely on pharmaceutical drugs that improve mood, especially the promotion of serotonin in the brain. Scientists now believe that the excessive activity of the immune system leads to inflammation in most parts of the body, causing at the same time feelings of despair and anxiety!
The new study confirms that the treatment of inflammation of the immune system in the body is reflected positively in reducing the state of depression in the patient.
"It is very clear that inflammation causes depression, and there is evidence that these antidepressants are able to treat depression," said Ed PPalmore head of psychiatry at Cambridge University. The scientists at Cambridge and others at the Wellcome Trust Fund for Medical Research hoped to start testing next year to test the ability of anti-inflammatory drugs to fight depression.
