Understanding the psychological part of the brain still faces great challenges, according to Paulo Nemeeer’s neurosurgery, director of the Government Encephalt Institute in Rio de Janeiro. In an interview with the program CNN is vital signsThe expert consumed the complex relationship between the brain and conditions such as depression and anxiety.
Niemeyer explained that in cases of mental illness, the brain usually has a natural look at photography and anatomical studies. “There is a chemical change, which is not noticeable in the exams,” said the neurosurgeon.
To clarify the complexity of the topic, Niemeyer participated in an interesting state of his clinical experience. He stated that he removed a tumor of the patient’s frontal lobe. Surprisingly, six months after the procedure, the patient returned with a major change in his emotional state.
The patient told the doctor: “Dr. Paulo, I was depressed, spent childhood, and my teenager, in a dark room and I never had friends.” “After this surgery, I already got friends, I’m dating.” The neurosurgeon indicated that the manipulation of the front lobe during surgery has broken some bad circle, which leads to an unexpected improvement of the patient’s depression symptoms.
This condition, despite its isolation, indicates an anatomical pillar in the brain areas related to psychological conditions. Niemeyer emphasized that these conditions are often associated with the imbalances of the neurotransmitter and brain chemistry.
The neurosurgeon concluded that there is still a lot that must be discovered in the field of depression and other mental illnesses. The complexity of these conditions, which have no clear changes in traditional tests, continues to challenge researchers and clinical, which paves the way for future investigations and progress in the field of nervous psychiatry.
