Depression can make 'small things overwhelming'

Prof Ed Bullimore, who works with the Cambridgeshire
and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust and is head of Psychiatry
at the University of Cambridge, is leading a new study into whether depression could have a physical
cause and if anti-inflammatory drugs could help sufferers.
Laura Cox, pictured, who has had depression for more than a
decade, said she wondered what it would be like to be "normal".

"It can make small things that most people take in their
stride seem overwhelming," she said.
"On the really low days, getting up, getting dressed,
getting to work can become a struggle."
The study will look at whether the immune system, in defending
against physical injury or conditions, could cause psychological harm.
Volunteers sought for major depression study in Cambridge
Scientists in Cambridge are looking for volunteers to take part in a new medical trial that could change the way we treat depression, which affects one in every four people at some point in their lives.
Until now it's been considered a psychological problem, but researchers believe there could be a physical reason.
Traditional treatments - such as anti-depressants and counselling - only work for a third of sufferers, research has shown.

Prof Ed Bullmore, head of the Department of Psychiatry at Cambridge University, believes anti-inflammatory drugs could be the answer.
"There hasn't been a major advance in the treatment of depression for about 20 years, yet it is extremely common and a lot of people don't respond completely to the existing treatments, so we do need to make progress," he said.
