Mood Disorders Quotes

• Demasiados médicos -muchos de ellos excelentes- se suicidan cada año; un estudio reciente concluía que, hasta hace muy poco, Estados Unidos perdía anualmente el equivalente a una clase de medicina de tamaño medio sólo por suicidio. La mayoría de los suicidios de médicos se deben a depresión o enfermedad maníaco-depresiva, ambas eminentemente tratables. Desgraciadamente, los médicos no sólo padecen un mayor índice de trastornos del estado de ánimo que la población general, sino que también tienen un mayor acceso a medios de suicidio muy eficaces.

• People who are contented and serene sleep well. They fall asleep easily, stay asleep, and wake refreshed. Conversely, people who are anxious, stressed, or depressed do not sleep well, and chronic insomnia is strongly associated with mood disorders. These are clear correlations, but what is cause and what is effect is not clear. Most experts agree that sleep and mood are closely related, that healthy sleep can enhance emotional well-being, while insufficient quantity or quality of sleep can adversely affect it.
