趙本山拿崔永元憂郁症開涮

　　晚報訊 昨天，趙本山在連續的缺席之后，終於在春晚第二次彩排中露面。其和宋丹丹、崔永元聯袂演出的小品《說事兒》果然不負眾望，18分鐘時間中讓觀眾笑彎了腰。趙本山本人在此后接受媒體採訪的時候則還是謙虛地表示，春晚尚未直播，大家還需努力。

　　小品《說事兒》是當年三人合作的《昨天今天明天》續集。不過，時過境遷，白雲、黑土兩位老人的婚姻出現了問題，小崔前去調解。三人乍一登場，全場的觀眾就忍不住想笑，趙本山還是一身土裡土氣裝扮，宋丹丹缺著兩顆大門牙，卻夸張地打扮成身著貂皮大衣的時髦女郎。地位懸殊的“老夫妻”不斷鬧出笑話，小崔則在一旁插科打諢。不過，這老兩口也不是省油的燈，接二連三地開涮小崔，尤其是尖刻地調侃他的憂郁症。比如，宋丹丹上來就是一嗓子：“6年沒見，聽說小崔你憂郁了？”趙本山也不含糊：“他那臉，過去是哭笑不得，現在是緊急集合。”在一旁，崔永元尷尬成了一張苦瓜臉。全場爆笑。

　　據悉，狗年春晚共有12個語言類節目，時間長達兩個多小時，是歷史上分量最重的一次。往年北方小品一統熒屏的格局終於被打破，南方小品相聲這次共有4個，分別是湖北小品《招聘》、四川小品《粑耳朵》以及台灣、湖南的相聲，佔語言類節目總數的三分之一。

加拿大专家认为：忧郁症治疗应“多管齐下”

央视国际 (2004年07月13日 10:15)


　　据海外媒体报道，加拿大忧郁症治疗网络８日发表的研究报告指出，加拿大虽有２００万人罹患忧郁症，但有关此病的治疗工作仍做得不够，使忧郁症病人无法享受正常人的生活。报告建议治疗应该更为彻底。

   
  
　　报告指出，加拿大医生对患忧郁症的病人开处的抗忧郁症药物多少有些效果，但并未能完全消除诸如疲倦、无力、睡眠失调等症状。

　　此项研究在今年初用电话调查的方式访问了６４００名加拿大人。目的在于发现忧郁症病人在服用抗忧郁药后的效果及忧郁症为他们生活带来的影响。此项调查还询问了非忧郁症者是否有同样的病情。

　　作为此项研究工作成员之一的多伦多大学健康网络心理学家赛德尼表示，在参加上述访问的４３７名忧郁症患者中，少于1/3的人表示抗忧郁药物对减轻如疲倦、无力、焦虑及注意力不集中等主要症状确实有效。超过半数表示睡眠失调完全消除。

　　赛德尼指出，疲倦及无力是忧郁症中对工作、家事及社交等影响最大的症状。他还指出，加拿大忧郁症治疗网络此次所做的研究不同于以往的研究，因为这次的研究对象包括未患忧郁症的人。

　　赛德尼说，这次研究的重点不在于了解忧郁症病人服药后症状是否减轻，而在于了解忧郁症病人在服用抗忧郁药物后症状是否完全消除，从而可以享受正常生活。

　　赛德尼表示，研究结果显示，忧郁症病人服用抗忧郁药后只有少于半数的人表示症状完全消除。这种现象显示，医生在治疗忧郁症病人时可能需要作出一些改变。换句话说，在治疗忧郁症病人时，医生在开抗忧郁药时，还应开心理治疗药物，双管或多管齐下。

　　研究报告结论同时建议，研发针对不同脑神经中枢的抗忧郁症药物。赛德尼说，医学界目前已获共识，即治疗忧郁症病人应完全治好。

Depression is a serious problem.

35 million Americans (more than 16% of the population) suffer from depression severe enough to warrant treatment at some time in their lives.
(National Institute of Health, 2003 National Comorbidity Study)
Despite depression’s high treatment success rate, nearly two out of three people suffering from depression do not actively seek nor receive proper treatment. (DBSA, 1996)

Untreated depression is the leading cause of suicide. Suicide (taking one’s own life) is a serious public health problem that devastates individuals, families, and communities. It is the 11th leading cause of death among Americans (PreventSuicideNow.com, Anderson and Smith 2003, CDC.gov)
Depression has had an impact on your organization.

Depression ranks among the top three work place issues, following only family crisis and stress. (EAP 1996)

Employees suffer from the impact of depression when working with others who are depressed and when caring for loved ones at home.

Fifteen to 20% of US families are caring for an older relative. A survey of these adult caregivers found that 58% showed clinically significant depressive symptoms. (Family Caregiver Alliance, 1997)

As many as one in 33 children and one in eight adolescents have clinical depression. (Center for Mental Health Services, U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services, 1996)

As many as one in eight adolescents have clinical depression. (Center for Mental Health Services, U.S. Dept. of Health and Human services, 1996)
If your employees do not seek treatment for depression, it costs your business in health expenditures, absenteeism, lost productivity and performance mistakes.

Depression’s annual toll on U.S. businesses amounts to about $70 billion in medical expenditures, lost productivity and other costs. (The Wall Street Journal, 2001, National Institute of Mental Health, 1999)

Depression accounts for close to $12 billion in lost workdays each year. (The Wall Street Journal, 2001, National Institute of Mental Health, 1999)

More than $11 billion in other costs accrue from decreased productivity due to symptoms that sap energy, affect work habits, cause problems with concentration, memory, and decision-making. (The Wall Street Journal, 2001, National Institute of Mental Health, 1999)
Supporting organizations that focus on depression outreach is beneficial to your organization.

A reduction of depression in employees and customers leads to increased profits.

The 35 million people suffering from depression, as well as their friends and family, would be supportive of an organization that aids in combating depression. (The 35 million estimate is probably low, since over 75% of depression sufferers do not feel comfortable discussing depression.)
