According to a review of 61 studies of patients suffering from severely debilitating depression, a large majority of the patients reported that missing a night's sleep immediately lifted their depression. Yet sleep-deprivation is not used to treat depression even though the conventional treatments, which use drugs and electric shocks, often have serious side effects.
Which of the following, if true, best explains the fact that sleep-deprivation is not used as a treatment for depression?
For a small percentage of depressed patients, missing a night's sleep induces a temporary sense of euphoria.
Keeping depressed patients awake is more difficult than keeping awake people who are not depressed.
Prolonged loss of sleep can lead to temporary impairment of judgment comparable to that induced by consuming several ounces of alcohol.
The dramatic shifts in mood connected with sleep and wakefulness have not been traced to particular changes in brain chemistry.
Depression returns in full force as soon as the patient sleeps for even a few minutes.
lift,升起,举高;移开,拿走。如:
I lifted the baby out of the chair. 我把婴儿从椅子上抱起来。
Martial law has now been lifted. 戒严令现已解除。
条件:病人说只要他们一晚上不睡,就不会抑郁。
结论:医生没有给病人吃不睡觉的药来治疗抑郁。
E,病人哪怕睡几分钟,抑郁又原样回来了。
CR:病人总不能一直不睡吧。只要睡了就会抑郁,所以不让他们睡觉也治不了抑郁。
