How people react in depression.

A state of depression can have a major impact on the memory fetching part of the brain,shows recent studies and tests at The University of Texas at Dallas.

The researchers have identified a 11.7% reduction in memory when people had a state of depression. These results were published in Cognition and Emotion.

The results show that people with and without state of depression normally have a similar capability of remembering information actively.although when depressive thoughts are present,people with the depressed mood were unable to remove their attension forom this 

information which led to fault in remembering their memory.

The study was based on 157 undergraduate students.persistance of depressive mood was identified through a computer based depression inventory.out of all,60 students were qualified to be included in the depressive information.

The neutral part included questions like: "Most people agree that Monday is the worst day of the week" and the depressive part concentrated on questions like "I am sad" and "People don't like me."

At the end of each question, they were asked to remember a series of numbers.

The participants in the depressive mood failed to recollect all the numbers related to negative information than when the sentence contained neutral information.

Researchers expected that their study will help improve lives of people affected with depression. "Understanding and accurately diagnosing memory loss in depression is paramount for developing an effective therapeutic approach," Hubbard said. "Our findings implicate that therapeutic approaches such as teaching one to recognize and inhibit depressive thoughts could be a key aspect to treating cognitive deficits in depression."

Depression strikes a person when exposure to extreme stress or hormonal changes leads to certain chemical changes in his or her brain.

Nearly 350 million people in the world are estimated to be affected with this mental condition.

Probably the best way to get out of the depression is do something you love to do even if you don’t think that it is a good idea.
