La Depresión - Parte III ¿Qué es la depresión?No existe una causa única conocida de la depresión. Más bien, esta parece ser el resultado de una combinación de factores genéticos, bioquímicos, y psicológicos.
Investigaciones indican que las enfermedades depresivas son trastornos del cerebro. Las tecnologías para obtener imágenes del cerebro, tales como las imágenes por resonancia magnética, han demostrado que el cerebro de las personas con depresión luce diferente del de quienes no la padecen. Las áreas del cerebro responsables de la regulación del ánimo, pensamiento, apetito, y comportamiento parecen no funcionar con normal-idad. Además, hay importantes neurotransmisores, sustancias químicas que las células del cerebro utilizan para comunicarse, que parecen no estar en equilibrio. Pero estas imágenes no revelan las causas de la depresión.
Algunos tipos de depresión tienden a transmitirse de generación en generación, lo que sugiere una relación genética. Sin embargo, la depresión también puede presentarse en personas sin antecedentes familiares de depresión. La inves-tigación genética indica que el riesgo de desar-rollar depresión es consecuencia de la influencia de múltiples genes que actúan junto con factores ambientales u otros.
Además, los traumas, la pérdida de un ser querido, una relación dificultosa, o cualquier situación estresante puede provocar un episodio de depresión. Episodios de depresión subsiguientes pueden ocur-rir con o sin una provocación evidente.
¿Cómo experimentan las mujeres la depresión?
La depresión es más común en mujeres que en hombres. Hay factores biológicos, de ciclo de vida, hormonales, y psicosociales que son únicos de la mujer, que pueden ser relacionados con que las tasas de depresión sean más elevadas entre las mujeres. Investigadores han demostrado que las hormonas afectan directamente las sustancias químicas del cerebro que regulan las emociones y los estados de ánimo. Por ejemplo, las mujeres son particular-mente vulnerables a la depresión luego de dar a luz,
cuando los cambios hormonales y físicos junto con la nueva responsabilidad por el recién nacido, pueden resultar muy pesados.
Muchas mujeres que acaban de dar a luz padecen un episodio breve de tristeza transitoria, pero algunas sufren de depresión posparto, una enfermedad mucho más grave que requiere un tratamiento activo y apoyo emocional para la nueva madre. Algunos estudios sugieren que las mujeres que padecen depresión posparto, a menudo han padecido previos episodios de depresión.
Algunas mujeres también pueden ser susceptibles a sufrir una forma grave del síndrome premenstrual, a veces llamado trastorno disfórico premenstrual. Esta es una enfer-medad producida por cambios hormonales que ocurren cerca del periodo de la ovulación y antes de que comience la menstruación. Durante la transición a la menopausia, algunas mujeres experimentan un mayor riesgo de sufrir depresión. Científicos están explorando la forma en la que la elevación y la disminución cíclicas del estrógeno y de otras hormonas pueden afectar la química del cerebro que está relacionada con la enfermedad depresiva.
Finalmente, muchas mujeres enfrentan el estrés adicional del trabajo y de las responsabilidades del hogar, cuidado de los hijos y padres ancianos, maltrato, pobreza, y tensiones de las relaciones. Aún no está claro por qué algunas mujeres que enfrentan desafíos inmensos padecen de depresión, mientras que otras con desafíos similares no la padecen.
¿Cómo experimentan los hombres la depresión?
Los hombres experimentan la depresión de manera distinta que las mujeres y pueden enfrentar los síntomas de diferentes modos. Los hombres tienden más a reconocer que sienten fatiga, irritabilidad, pérdida de interés en las actividades que antes resultaban placenteras, y que tienen el sueño alterado, mientras que las mujeres tienden más a admitir sentimientos de tristeza, inutilidad, o culpa excesiva.
Los hombres tienen más probabilidades que las mujeres de acudir al alcohol o a las drogas cuando están deprimi-dos, frustrados, desalentados, irritados, enojados, o a veces abusivos. Algunos hombres se envician al trabajo para evitar hablar acerca de su depresión con la familia o amigos o comienzan a mostrar un comportamiento imprudente o riesgoso. Y aunque en los Estados Unidos, son más las mujeres que intentan suicidarse, son más los hombres que mueren por suicidio.
En el mes de abril publicaremos ¿Cómo se detecta y trata la depresión?

learning experience of the techniques used in facilitating support groups. We are also very short of facilitators for both our Spanish and English support groups.Marie Revere has established a new Mental Health yMinistry Group at St. James Catholic Church in Solana Beach. The group held its first meeting on Tuesday, March 3. The Catholic Diocese of San Diego County has launched a mental health out-reach program for all Catholic churches so that church members can serve as local mental health resources for church pastors and parishes. Consumers continue to identify homelessness, yaffordable housing/shelter and employment as their top three greatest concerns.San Diego County Mental Health Department yhas just issued an RFP (Request for Proposal) to mental health service providers to operate a 24
hour hospital-based crisis stabilization unit CSU) in the North Inland or North Coastal regions of San Diego County for adult and older adult residents who may be experienc-ing a psychiatric emergency due to a mental health condition that requires a more timely response than a regularly scheduled doctor visit. This CSU will provide mental health services lasting less than 24 hours that may also include co-morbid alcohol or drug-induced problems and will eliminate lengthy waits at hospital emergency rooms or even eliminate hospitalization. The unit will pro-vide linkages to ongoing community services and supports. The RFP is due by March 20. More details can be found on the county’s BuyNet website at www.buynet.sdcounty.ca.gov.

Mariposa Clubhouse News Gearing Up for Spring By Dan Kasperick
It was a cold and brisk Sunday afternoon in Carlsbad and the weather report predicted rain. Nevertheless, a fist full of Mariposa Clubhouse members braved the chill at Frazee Park.
Some stayed on the grassy area above the beach, while others went down to the sand and sea. It was colder than chilly but not as bad as the rest of the country; frozen as they were seemingly everywhere else. The sky was dark with clouds and there were only a few other folks at the shore both to the north and to the south. Occasionally the sun would peek through the billows leaving heavenly streams of silver reflecting out of the sky and onto the marine.
The shoreline was virtually ours. We set up our chairs and stared into the waves. They were small and choppy, too measly for surfers to partake but fine for onlookers. There was some debate as to what shade of green the water was; some said emerald, some said malachite and some said olive. All could agree that it was stunning. We joked about how the brine was more fun to watch than TV or the dryers at the local laun-dromat. All was at peace and all was well. We lingered on till it got too cold for us, then we beat a hasty retreat back up to the street. On the way back through Carlsbad Village, we stopped by Cessy’s Mexican restaurant to get a bit of food in our growling bellies then meandered
up Carlsbad Boulevard. Just as we were headed up the avenue, it began to sprinkle. We jogged to comfort and dryness, barely escaping the storm.
Everyone agreed that it was a wonderful day – one we would always remember. There was a hint of spring, even in February, a suggestion of coming days ahead, where the beach would be warmer and crowded with people. Until then, we would make the best of what the shoreline had to offer, grateful for the display of Mother Nature which makes life more enjoyable even in the winter.
