A healthy spirit in…

A healthy mind in a healthy body. Science confirms more than ever this Latin proverb. The researchers continue to check by grinds experiments that l' physical-activity decreases the symptoms of the depression and l' anxiety and qu' it increases the capacity of concentration while intervening on the neurochimy of the brain, on its rate d' oxygenation and on connections between the neurons. Michael Babyak, of l' Duke university in North Carolina, showed that l' antidepressant effect of l' exercise would be as powerful as that of the drugs, which raise l' effectiveness of the neurons with serotonin and which, by this action, manage to dissipate the depressive symptoms. In d' other terms, like the antidepressants, l' physical-activity increases the serotonin concentration on the level of the brain. During l' exercise, of the hormones, known as neuromodulatrices, are secreted on the level of the muscles and join the brain, where they will have an impact on certain neuro-transmitters, such as the serotonin, which is associated with l' antidepressant effect, as well as the dopamine and the norépinéphrine, which intervene in the circuits of l' attention and of the executive functions, like planning d' a task, underlines Dave Ellemberg, professor and researcher at the department of kinesiology of l' University of Montreal. Regular practice of l' physical-activity raises also the release of factors neurotrophic derived from brain (BDNF) mainly on the level of the hippocampi of the brain, where they stimulate the synaptogénèse, c' be-with-to say the production of new connections (or synapses) between the neurons. “L' physical-activity has not only one impact on l' mood, but also on the memory. Studies in imagery showed at the people who make l' exercise systematically a packing synaptic in the area of the temporal lobes where the hippocampi [sites of the memory] are. And that results in an increase in the mnemic capacities”, explains the researcher. Dave Ellemberg also recalls that the meetings d' physical-activity increase l' blood contribution towards the brain and consequently increase l' oxygenation of the neurons, of which l' s' activity; intensify. On electroencephalograms (EEG) obtained after d' a meeting d' exercises, it is indeed possible to see an increase in l' intensity of l' neuronal activity which is normally associated with the executive functions and with l' caution. It appears also increasingly obvious qu' a regular physical-activity delays the cognitive losses which occur during ageing, underlines the researcher before specifying that l' exercise slows down significantly the progression of the disease d' Alzheimer.

Public say mental health problems deserve sympathy

The public is broadly sympathetic towards people with mental health problems, according to a Department of Health survey published this weekend.

The survey 'Attitudes to Mental Illness 2009' showed that the vast majority of the public think that people with mental health problems deserve sympathy and that society needs to be more tolerant towards them (86 and 85 per cent respectively).

There were some improvements in attitudes on employment and integration of people with mental ill health into the community. The survey shows:

* Almost three quarters (73 per cent) agreed that people with mental health problems should have the same rights to a job as anyone else - up from 66 per cent in 2008.

* 79 per cent agreed that mental health services should be provided through community based facilities - up from 72 per cent in 2008.

* 79 per cent also agreed that people with mental illness should not be excluded from their neighbourhood - up from 74 per cent in 2008.

Levels of fear of mental illness also demonstrate signs of improvement:

* 61 per cent of people agree that people with a mental illness are far less of a danger than most people suppose - compared to 57 per cent in 2008.

* Only 15 per cent of respondents feel frightened by people with mental health problems living in residential neighbourhoods.

Care Services Minister Phil Hope said:

"There's no question that even now in the 21st century, prejudiced and outdated attitudes to mental health problems still exist, leading to discrimination and social exclusion. But this survey shows that some attitudes are starting to change for the better.

"I want to help create mentally healthier and more resilient communities, but also a culture where if people do develop mental health problems they are accepted. We'll be consulting on how to do this later this year as part of the New Horizons programme."

Some attitudes to mental illness have worsened, according to the survey.

* 18 per cent of people thought that one of the main causes of mental illness was lack of self discipline and willpower - up from 14 per cent in 2008.

* In 2009 11 per cent of people said they would not want to live next door to someone with a mental health problem, an increase from 8 per cent since 1994.

* The proportion agreeing that we need to adopt a more tolerant attitude decreased from 92 per cent in 1994 to 85 per cent in 2009.

* The proportion disagreeing with the statement 'People with mental illness don't deserve our sympathy' decreased from 92 per cent in 1994 to 86 per cent in 2009.
