Inflammation Depresses Mood (Here’s How To Reverse It)

Grounding, Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

Increased inflammation in the body worsens symptoms of clinical depression, says a new study published in JAMA Psychiatry on November 18, 2015. Higher levels of blood markers of inflammation were found to be directly correlated with a variety of depressive symptoms, including sleep difficulty, decreased energy levels, decreased motivation and increased or decreased appetite. The details: Researchers looked at data on C-reactive protein levels (a blood marker of whole body inflammation) in over 15,000 patients. Higher levels of inflammation were directly correlated with higher levels of depressive symptoms, and the correlation was dose dependent… meaning the higher

The One Thing You Can Do Daily To Lift All Types Of Depression… Naturally

Grounding, Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

We all know that getting morning light each day significantly improves seasonal blues (or winter depression.) But a new study shows that light therapy lifts depression — even depression that is NOT seasonally related — *more effectively* than antidepressant drug therapy. The assumption has always been that major depressive disorder is different from seasonal depression, but this study shows that light therapy can be used on it’s own to treat depression whether seasonal or not. Published in JAMA Psychiatry on Nov 18, 2015, this placebo controlled study supports the use of a non-pharmaceutical intervention over a pharmaceutical intervention, which

Reducing Background Anxiety Increases Mental Clarity: Here’s How

Healthy Mindframe, Intuitive Medicine, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

Recently published in the Journal Of Neuroscience (June 2015) researchers looked at the role of norepinephrine in songbirds to determine what effect it has on stimuli detection and processing. What they found is that norepinepherine helped decrease the “background noise” of the brain, allowing songbirds to not only enhance their auditory signal detection but to accurately encode complex incoming information. With higher norepinepherine levels, the brain had less background activity and less spontaneous firing of neurons, allowing the songbirds to distinguish the relevant incoming information from irrelevant incoming information. Meaning… the less background noise in the brain, the

Good Moods Are Contagious In Teens (And Prevents Depression)

Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports, Positive Parenting / By Laura Koniver, MD

As I blogged about last week… mood is not just something that colors our day. Our moods actually make a huge difference in our projected lifespan… this is now a medical fact! On the heels of that study, yet another study was published just last month (August 19, 2015 in the Proc Biol Science) revealing that a positive mood among teens is not only “contagious” and spreads among peers… … but is also associated with enhanced recovery from depression and decreased future risk of depression. And even better, the reverse is not true: depressed mood does not appear to
