Circadian polymorphisms associated with affective disorders
BACKGROUND Clinical symptoms of affective disorders, their response to light treatment, and sensitivity to other circadian interventions indicate that the circadian system has a role in mood disorders. Possibly the mechanisms involve circadian seasonal and photoperiodic mechanisms. Since genetic susceptibilities contribute a strong component to affective disorders, we explored whether circadian...
متن کاملThe circadian system and the therapeutics of the affective disorders.
Establishing that a circadian rhythm is abnormal tells us little about the cause, which can arise from changes in the patient's lifestyle, irregularities of the body clock or a malfunction in the process of entrainment of the clock. In a clinical context, such a range of possible explanations implies differences in the most appropriate mode of treatment. Against this background, the conventiona...
متن کامل|4. Circadian Rhythm Disturbances in Affective Disorders: Facts and Fictions
fjie cycling nature of affective disorders has put these psychopathological con[tions into the focus of medical chronobiology. However, our knowledge is still tther limited in this respect, and too often casual observations and theoretical eculations are accepted as proving profound disturbances of biological (above | , circadian) rhythms in these disorders. It is our intention to evaluate crit...
متن کاملNeurofeedback with anxiety and affective disorders.
A robust body of neurophysiologic research is reviewed on functional brain abnormalities associated with depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. A review of more recent research finds that pharmacologic treatment may not be as effective as previously believed. A more recent neuroscience technology, electroencephalographic (EEG) biofeedback (neurofeedback), seems to hold promise ...
متن کاملAutonomous motivation is associated with the maintenance stage of behaviour change in people with affective disorders.
The present study examined whether in people with affective disorders motives for adopting and maintaining physical activity recommendations (as formulated by the self-determination theory) differed across the stages of behaviour change (identified by the transtheoretical model). A total of 165 (105♀) persons (45.6±14.2years) with affective disorders [major depressive disorder (n=96) or bipolar...
