Scientists from the Institute Douglas Mental Health (Canada), together with from McGill University colleagues in the study of mechanisms that can cause a person has depression, established that depression is a product of increasing the activity of dopaminergic neurons, control of which carry their noradrenergic counterparts.

As transfers Express News with reference to the material published in the expert journal Nature Neuroscience, the main problem of depression is unbalanced the proteins dopamine and noradrenaline. The point here is that these proteins are not just produced for transmission of electrical impulses, and are actively involved in emotional regulation, including those affecting the mood disorders and sleep.

Since dopamine and norepinephrine affect the emotional state of man, scientists, neuroscientists is logical to assume that the artificial regulation of neuronal data enables you to control susceptibility to stress and, as a result, resist depression. Thus, in the near future the researchers plan to come to grips with the development of methods of depression prevention, the basis of which will be based on the resulting data experiences.

As previously reported by our portal, depressive state, especially the running of their shape, are capable of becoming cause of quite serious diseases involving disability. That is why the recent opening of Canadian scientists is, in fact, a breakthrough in the issue of the study of factors affecting the mental health of the person.

It should be noted that depression is a very negative impact on human health. So people suffering from this mental disorder, 60% increased risk of back pain. It is reported by RG.RU , a reference to a new study published in the journal Arthritis Care and Research.

University of Sydney experts came to this conclusion after studying data of eleven experiments, which was attended by almost 23 thousand volunteers.

As a result of these studies found that people with symptoms of depression, had a much higher chance of the occurrence of back pain compared with those who did not suffer from depression. According to scientists, up to 61 thousand cases of back pain, recorded in Australia, partly due to the presence of people have depression.

“When patients come to us with a complaint of back pain and depression, their cases are considered the most complex . such people do not respond to treatment in the same manner as patients who experience back pain only – they last longer and are reduced treatment for them can get expensive, “- said the study’s author Paulo Ferreira.

it is believed physicians in order to achieve effectiveness in the treatment in such cases should be at the same time to deal with depression, and low back pain.

According to the estimates of other studies, up to 48 percent of those who suffer from back pain are symptoms of depression.

Scientists can not accurately explain the reasons for the identified connection. While they suggest that this is due to the fact that people with depression are inactive lifestyle and poor sleep. Alternatively, there are problems with neurotransmitters affecting mood, and pain threshold.

It is possible that here and genetics involved. For example, earlier research conducted on twins has shown that some people may be genetically predisposed and to back pain and depression.
