Corrección Metabólica y Depresión: Efecto de una Combinación de Suplementos
Palabras clave:
desorden depresivo, suplementación dietaria, Puerto RicoResumen
La depresión es un trastorno del estado de ánimo que provoca cambios en el peso, apetito, sueño y actividad física. El presente estudio pretende investigar los efectos de una fórmula combinada de suplementos en el manejo de esta enfermedad con idea de mejorar el metabolismo de los neurotransmisores. Cinco pacientes con depresión recibieron suplementos dietéticos de combinación con co-enzimas y se compararon pre y post tratamiento. Los pacientes recibieron suplementación diaria de vitaminas, minerales, hierbas y ácidos grasos durante seis semanas. La gravedad de la depresión se midió usando el Inventario de Depresión de Beck-II en la visita inicial y se repitió en la sexta semana después del tratamiento. Se realizó una ANOVA con medidas repetida para comparar y realizar un seguimiento de los cambios ocurridos durante el estudio. La puntuación media del Inventario de Depresión de Beck disminuyó significativamente (de 30 a 15) cuando los pacientes recibieron la fórmula de suplementos al final de la sexta semana sin efectos secundarios negativos (p < 0. 01) en comparación con las medidas previas de línea de base, controlando para factores sociodemográficos (género, educación) y condiciones previas de salud. Los resultados del presente estudio sugieren que la suplementación pudiese ser de ayuda en el tratamiento de pacientes con depresión.
