Depression - New Treatments Are Available

Depression doesn't change. It is a serious illness that requires treatment. The treatments of the past had devastating side effects. We can't have a discussion of new Depression treatments without touching on past treatments.

Past Treatments

Anti-depressants have been around for sometime. Early versions of these drugs often left people lethargic, "out of it", and not able to function. As advances have been made, the side effects do not interfere so much with being able to function. They are more unseen effects except by the patient.

Electroconvulsive Therapy is also known as shock treatments. A general anesthetic and a muscle relaxer is administered to the patient. Electrodes are placed on the head and precise electric pulses are delivered. If the procedure was done correctly, seizure activity will occur. Due to the muscle relaxer, the seizure is only evidenced by slight movement in the hands and feet. The patient awakens some minutes later and is often confused. After prolonged treatments, there is the possibility of memory loss and movement disorders

New Treatments

Advances in the treatment of Depression are being made all the time. Old treatments are modified and made better. The newer treatments work better and many medications have fewer side effects. Medications still have serious side effects for some people. The newer anti-depressants are also used at lower doses and are better tolerated.

Booster Drugs are now being used and their function is to enhance the effects of the primary drug, typically on antidepressants. These however, are only effective about 50% of the time. Popular Booster Drugs include Astonel, Lithium, and Ritalin.

TMS - Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation currently is considered as experimental and is not approved by the Federal Drug Administration. Some hospitals and clinics are already offering it because it is an effective, drug free and non-invasive procedure. A magnetic coil is charged with electrical pulses. The coil is passed over the scalp and the pulses penetrate the skull directly stimulating the nerve cells in the brain. TMS has the potential of becoming a very precise procedure.

Herbal treatments are not new, ancient tribes and Shaman have used them for centuries in tribal rituals and in healing. They can stand alone or can be gathered into a supplement that is blended with other nutritive substances such as vitamins, amino acids, and minerals. Herbal Depression treatments include herbs that affect mood. The highest quality herbal supplements have had the ingredients metabolic paths tested as well as the interaction of the ingredients. They should be made to pharmaceutical standards. This ensures the effectiveness, the potency, and the safety of your supplement. You will also be guaranteed to be getting exactly what is on the label

Conclusion

Depression and new treatments are being discovered regularly. Researchers are making great advances in treating Depression. Although, right now some are considered experimental or not currently approved by the FDA- Federal Drug Administration, in the case of TMS - Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is being offered in some hospitals and clinics. Newer medications have fewer side effects and are better tolerated. You and your doctor can decide together the best course of treatment for your particular needs.

Movie Review - Saving Face

Saving Face, a Sony Pictures Classic, is now available on DVD for your viewing pleasure. The 2004 romantic comedy/drama was the project of first time director Alice Wu. It chronicles the complicated life of a promising young Chinese American surgeon, Wilhemina (played by the talented Michelle Krusiec), as she balances her career, her obligations to her conservative family, and the demands of a new relationship which she has come to value. The name of the movie comes from the Chinese social relation concept (often in the form of subtle power plays or selfless acts to keep someone else from embarrassment while preserving the status quo), which perfectly describes the heart of her problem; how to be true to herself as a professional and as a woman in the modern world, and remain a dutiful daughter in the traditional one.

Saving Face introduces us to Wilhemina, a New Yorker who takes the #7 train weekly to visit her family, part of a tight-knit Chinese community located in Flushing, Queens. She is careful to keep her two worlds separated, but circumstances conspire against her when her widowed mother (played by Joan Chen) winds up on her doorstep pregnant and outcast (father unknown). Wil has to placate Ma while keeping her relationship with her beautiful dancer girlfriend (Lynn Chen) on the down low. Of course Ma is no fool; she is aware of her daughters tendencies, but the issue must be skirted because her daughter cannot be gay. Wil has tolerated her mothers attempts to hook her up with proper Chinese boys at the Friday night socials for years, but to no avail. Ironically, it is Ma (who only speaks Mandarin and rarely steps outside of the confines of her social web) who has fallen from grace and must do the right thing to get back in good social standing.

The casting for Saving Face is brilliant. All the actors shine in their roles, creating contrast and chemistry that makes you laugh through the tears. The performances are heartfelt - never forced, and despite the fairy tale ending, quite believable. With the exception of Joan Chen, I was not familiar with any of the actors, but was pleasantly surprised at the caliber of the talent. Joan Chen played Ma to perfection and the other two leads were very strong, Krusiec playing the brilliant tomboy surgeon to Chens worldly elegance and street smarts. The introduction of a black neighbor as a regular character added a lot of comedy to the mix.

One billion Chinese people, two degrees of separation Saving Face.

The director clearly put a lot of love into this project and it shows in every scene. Though there are some obvious stereotypes, the story gives you a real sense of Chinese culture across generations. And no matter how you feel about the lesbian relationship that is depicted, most people can easily relate to this drama regardless of race or sexual orientation. Saving Face presents the human condition just as it is in real life, complicated and messy, and at no time did I feel that the director had some kind of political agenda to force on the audience. Saving Face is one of the most intelligent and thoroughly entertaining movies I have seen in some time, keeping me completely enthralled from beginning to end.

Saving Face is in English, however many scenes have Chinese dialogue, so I recommend that you be sure to have the subtitles on display while you watch or you will miss out on some hilarious one liners. Though tastefully done, there is a scene of sexuality, so viewer be warned.

Saving Face was a favorite for many at the Sundance and Toronto Film Festivals. The movie has the high production values of a Hollywood film with a strong independent spirit. The film is a rare gem, one of those pleasant surprises that come around only so often, one that you will come to cherish. I give it my highest rating.

It is never too late to fall in love for the first time Saving Face.
