HealthDay news imageMONDAY, Dec. 21 (HealthDay News) -- It's not that depressed people can't feel good, it's that they can't hang on to that feeling, a new study claims.

The novel notion upends previous beliefs that depressed people don't even start out with positive emotions, and that they have no or little response in the areas of the brain related to good feelings.

"This tells us that a consideration of positive emotion is as important, if not more important, in understanding depression," said Richard Davidson, senior author of a study appearing online Dec. 21 in the... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Michelle Denise) http://tmjtalk.com/topic/4537 Thu, 24 Dec 2009 14:46:04 PST <![CDATA[ emedicine - Chronic Pain ]]> http://tmjtalk.com/topic/4512/t/emedicine-Chronic-Pain.html Chronic Pain


What Is Pain?

When you first experience pain, it is a symptom of illness or injury in the part of your body that is having the pain. The sudden onset of pain is called acute pain. It gets your attention and prompts you to take action to prevent further worsening of the condition causing the pain. This could be a simple action such as the reflex that makes you jerk your hand off a hot stove, or it could be more complex such as cooling, resting, or elevating an injured ankle. Or the pain could prompt you to see a doctor.

We take for granted that we will feel good most of the time. When pain strikes, we feel bad. Pain interrupts our work, our recreation, and our relationships with our families. Comfort, that is, not being in pain, is one of your goals if you are sick and should be one of the goals of treatment for the doctor who is treating you for any illness, but especially for an illness associated with chronic... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Cymy Sue) http://tmjtalk.com/topic/4512 Sat, 05 Dec 2009 09:46:58 PST <![CDATA[ Anxiety May Lead To Depression ]]> http://tmjtalk.com/topic/4498/t/Anxiety-May-Lead-To-Depression.html Fear of Anxiety May Lead to DepressionSome become so worried about what might happen that they develop other symptoms, researchers find

Depression often linked with pain

By DR. YONG H. TSAI
MANAGING PAIN

Like the famous question, "Which comes first, the chicken or the egg?" both depression and pain can be the other's cause or effect. While depression can generate and amplify pain due to an imbalance in neurotransmitters, extended pain, in turn, can cause a person to become depressed.

Over 75 percent of patients with depression complain of physical pains and most are unaware that its chemical effects can... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Michelle Denise) http://tmjtalk.com/topic/4140 Mon, 16 Feb 2009 11:30:58 PST <![CDATA[ Can music or the arts lessen your pain? ]]> http://tmjtalk.com/topic/4136/t/Can-music-or-the-arts-lessen-your-pain-.html Music can take the pain away, study findsFebruary 16th, 2009

4 days ago-November 25. 2008

PARIS (AFP) - Scientists have found a way to release the pain-relieving potential of one of the same proteins in the body activated by marijuana, according to a study released Sunday.

In experiments on mice, researchers found a chemical that prevents a naturally occurring enzyme from blocking this cannabinoid receptor, called 2-arachidonoylgylcerol, or 2-AG.

Once the enzyme, known as MAGL, is deactivated, the protein is more effective in dampening pain, say the team, led by Benjamin Cravatt of the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California.

The complex human cannabinoid system is thought to hold great potential for the control of chronic pain, and could also prove useful in the treatment of anxiety, depression and even obesity.

In earlier research, Cravatt and colleagues decoded the chain of... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Michelle Denise) http://tmjtalk.com/topic/3985 Sat, 29 Nov 2008 08:16:11 PST <![CDATA[ FDA Approves New Headache Medication ]]> http://tmjtalk.com/topic/3983/t/FDA-Approves-New-Headache-Medication.html

What I'm wondering about is that the article talks about being "passive" in response to the pain. I'm trying to experiment with different things to work on this but not having much success. How do any of you deal with this. I find that it certainly does not start the day off very well and does accentuate my feelings of helplessness.
