Introduction
The article provides information about the new move taken by medical specialists to handle depression which remains one of the most complicated mental health disorder. Depression is believed to be a disorder that enlists more sadness to a victim and has severe symptoms. The article provides the readers with new dimensions of understanding the disorder and brings the view of doctors regarding the same. I find the article important to mental health nursing because it provides some insights that can assists biomedical scientists in gathering information about the causes and possible ways handling the disorder. Besides, it impels the neuroscientists to broaden their understanding and thinking about the disorder.
Summary
This article reveals that depression is one of the serious mental disorders that does not have precise information concerning its cause and cure. The article provides that the viable solution of using antidepressants drugs does not completely heal the disorder. Besides, the article argues that the old norms and ideas concerning the cause of the disorder do not hold water. However, it fails to provide new ideas concerning the cause of depression. The tireless efforts by the biomedical scientists to complete research on the actual cause and solutions for the disorder remain unsuccessful (Richard, 2013). Neuroscientists have taken an initiative to collaborate in conducting research regarding the solutions of handling depression. Various medical specialists are using animals and working in groups to identify solutions for the disorder but it seems that a lasting solution is not forthcoming. However, the author of the article believes that the collaboration among the scientists will finally come up with a lasting solution.
Use of the information
The information provided by this article is of a great importance to my future life in handling depression. For example, I have a clear understanding that the use of antidepressant drugs is vital in relieving the pain of the disorder. Besides, I will use the information to find advisory alternatives to assist depressed victims because to some the drugs may not work as the article articulates. For example, I can dig information from the patient to understand the source of the deep sadness hence assist the victim by offering best ways to overcome such an issue.
Strengths of the article
The article provides the clear picture of depression as a mental disorder by discouraging the old ideas concerning its cause as well as providing the truth about the lack of a precise solution. Such information is vital in helping readers to understand that antidepressant drugs manufactured by various companies do not heal the disease. Besides, the article provides readers with information regarding the positive move taken by specialists to look for a solution concerning the disorder. The article is well structured since it moves from what the disorder is and ends by providing information concerning the efforts taken to find a solution for the disorder.
Weaknesses of the article
Although the article provides much information regarding depression as a mental disorder, it fails to provide readers with the concrete information about the main cause of the disorder. The readers may not benefit much from the article since it does not explain to them the cause of depression. Besides, it fails to provide readers with the best solution for the disorder. Instead, it provides solutions which it further argues they do not offer permanent healing. For instance, the article reveals that the antidepressant drugs do not give relieve to 100% percent of the patients (Richard, 2013).
Recommendation
I recommend the article to other colleagues because it contains vital information regarding the complexity of depression. The article can help other readers to have a clear understanding of what medical researchers reveal about the disorder. Besides, it can help colleagues to change their old perception about the causes of the disease and get the new ideas provided by scientists. Finally, it can assist them in understanding the degree to which collaborative approach among clinical neuroscientists is assisting in coming up with concrete solutions for the disorder.
Conclusion
Depression is a disorder that remains complex in its causes and solutions. According to Richard (2013), studies reveal that biomedical scientists have conducted many researchers to identify the real causes and solutions for the disorder but all in vain. However, it is clear that the old ideas that argue that the disorder is subject to deficiency of a single neurotransmitter remain futile. Besides, antidepressants drugs for the disorder seem do not give a lasting solution. As a result, neuroscientists have now focused on working collaboratively to come up with a solution for the disorder.
