DANCE THERAPY EFFECTIVE IN PATIENTS WITH DEPRESSIVE DISORDERS 
countless studies taken from the hands of specialists, dance teachers and patients treated with a dose of practice dance, have entered into the great benefit that has this art as an alternative therapy. For this it is essential to know that
clinical psychology, believes that mental disorders distort rational thinking and functioning social, family and good working people.
Just as it is of utmost importance to emphasize the concept of depression, which is managed from its origin as
Depression (from the Latin
depressus, which means 'shot', 'down') is a mood disorder
in colloquial terms is presented as a state of depression and unhappiness that can be
transitional or permanent
. The medical term refers to a syndrome
Or set of symptoms affecting mainly the emotional sphere: pathological sadness, decay, irritability or mood disorder that can decrease performance at work or limit the normal life activity, regardless of their case known or unknown.
While this is the core of symptoms, depression can also be expressed through
type conditions cognitive, volitional
or somatic
. In most cases, the diagnosis is clinical, but must be differentiated from similar expression boxes, such as anxiety disorders. The person suffering experiencing depression can not sadness, but loss of interest and inability to enjoy normal play activities, and a little experience motivating and slower over time. Its origin is multifactorial, although it is noted triggers such as stress
and feelings (derived from a sentimental disappointment
, contemplation or experience of an accident
,
murder tragedy or disorder, poor news
,
penalty, and having gone through an experience close to death
). There are other sources, such as an elaboration inadequate mourning (the death
of a loved one) or even the use of certain substances (alcohol or other substances) and predisposing factors such as genetic
or educational status.
Depression can have important social and personal consequences, from the incapacity
to
suicide.
Different schools have been proposed psychiatric treatment for depression: the
biopsychiatry through a pharmacological approach, backed by the success of the latest generation of antidepressants
(flagged by fluoxetine
, the "happy pill" of the twentieth century
), the psychoanalytic school
through procedures
psychodynamic or cognitive-behavioral therapy, through behavioral and cognitive proposals.
Known in its infancy with the name of melancholy
(from classical Greek
"black" and "bile"), depression is described or referenced in numerous articles and medical treatises of antiquity.
In 1725
, Britain's Sir Richard Blackmore
renamed the box with the current term depression. [1] Until the birth of modern psychiatry its origin and alternate treatments between magic and environmentalist empirical therapy (diet, walks, music, etc..) but with the advent of biopsychiatry
and the departure of the pharmacology
, then turns into a
disease more susceptible to treatment and biochemical
explanation. Its high prevalence and its relation to the emotional sphere have made, throughout history, in frequent use even artistic and cultural movements flag as romanticism
.
The origin of depression is complex, since its appearance
genetic factors influence ,
biological and psychosocial factors. There is evidence of alterations in neurotransmitters
,
cytokines and hormones
that appear to modulate or influence significantly on the onset and course of the disease.
[2] [3] The psychoneuroimmunology has shown disruption of the hypothalamic
hipofisarioadrenal related cytokines and immune disorders associated with neurotransmitter
in
major depressive disorder (for example, are reduced
number of serotonin transporters in peripheral blood lymphocytes depressed patients).
[4] This seems to point to a strong relationship between serotonin
and
immune system in this pathology.
Whether inherited or not, major depressive disorder is often associated with changes in brain structure or function.
In recent years, research has shown that some physical illnesses can lead to mental problems. Diseases such as stroke
, the
heart attacks, the
cancer, Parkinson's disease
and
hormonal disorders can lead to a depressive illness. The person feels sick, depressed, apathetic and unwilling to meet their physical needs, thus prolonging the recovery period. The loss of a loved one, problems in one or many of your relationships, financial problems or any stressful situation in life (wanted or unwanted situations) can also trigger a depressive episode.
All studies agree that the prevalence is nearly double in women than in men, and some life stressors such as childbirth, family crises, the substance abuse (mainly alcohol) the presence of a disease associated with chronic organic an increased risk of developing major depressive disorder.
The presence of some of the following symptoms for at least two weeks may be an indicator of the existence of depression.
-sad mood
,
dysphoric or irritable
for most of the day and during most of the days
- Anhedonia
or reduced ability to enjoy and show interest and / or pleasure in
usual activities, decreased or increased appetite or weight

If the diagnosis of depression develops, treatment with medications or psychotherapy
helps the person recovered depressed their ability to have a happy and fulfilling life. The recent
scientific research suggests that brief psychotherapy (talk therapy by helping the person in their everyday relationships, and help them learn to combat negative distorted thinking that usually accompany depression) is effective in reducing short term symptoms of this disease. Currently
treatment of mental disorders has an integrative and multidisciplinary approach, involving psychologists and psychiatrists, social workers, psychiatric nurses, social workers, occupational therapists and other professionals. Each treatment includes, depending on the case administration of psychotropic drugs as palliation of severe symptoms, to give way to a process of psychological intervention to address the origins and manifestations of the disorder and generate a stronger welfare state, effective and permanent in people who suffer from this disease.
There are alternatives to combat depression such as:
Set yourself short term realistic goals. Communicate with people
optimistic and encouraging. Make
gradually recreational, social and even religious.
look for emotional support. Practice
aerobic exercises. Search
positive environments. Enlarge
culture personal. Attend courses
