How to cure depression? The app for smartphone!
Source:To cope with depressive disorders, there are many products and methods, but the most interesting, perhaps, suggested by the specialists Brian Iacoviello and Dennis, Sharni. According to Medical Xpress, they have proposed a method of treatment based on a specialized FOR facial recognition.
A New method called «the Task of remembering the emotions on the faces» (Emotional Faces Memory Task, abbreviated EFMT). It is based on the definition of emotion displayed in a series of images of human faces. In the course of the test picture will appear with the previously mentioned emotions, and the subject need to specify the number of times each emotion was shown earlier. The authors of the method believe that at this point there is a coordination of brain areas responsible for emotional disorder that often occurs in depressive States. Because at the moment the main cause of depression is considered the misalignment in the active areas of the brain that leads to the fact that the prefrontal cortex cannot cope with the flow of emotions and disturbance of the nervous system.
Experiments have shown that improvement occurs in 42% of patients compared with the control group, which this test did not pass. It is worth saying that this result is observed during drug therapy. After the successful completion of clinical trials, the method was approved and soon will released the app for smartphones. The use of specialized applications can help people who are depressed, but for one reason or another are unable to seek specialized medical help.
