70.

According to a review of 61 studies of patients suffering from severely debilitating depression, a large majority of the patients reported that missing a night's sleep immediately lifted their depression. Yet sleep-deprivation is not used to treat depression even though the conventional treatments, which use drugs and electric shocks, often have serious side effects.

Which of the following, if true, best explains the fact that sleep-deprivation is not used as a treatment for depression?

(A) For a small percentage of depressed patients, missing a night's sleep induces a temporary sense of euphoria.
(B) Keeping depressed patients awake is more difficult than keeping awake people who are not depressed.
(C) Prolonged loss of sleep can lead to temporary impairment of judgment comparable to that induced by consuming several ounces of alcohol.
(D) The dramatic shifts in mood connected with sleep and wakefulness have not been traced to particular changes in brain chemistry.
(E) Depression returns in full force as soon as the patient sleeps for even a few minutes.

答案是E,
看到霧煞煞，無法找出因果關係，請大家協助!謝謝!

題目大意說 睡眠減少可以幫助治療憂鬱症 但是減少睡眠並不會用來治療憂鬱症
問題 下列哪個可以合理解釋這個情形
答案 (我的解讀 有錯請指正)
憂鬱症患者(應該指不睡的憂鬱症患者吧)
睡了幾分鐘後反而會更憂鬱

再請大家幫忙補充囉

其實我題目看不太懂ㄝ...
"a large majority of the patients reported that missing a night's sleep immediately lifted their depression"

請問前輩們, lifted their depression是說加重憂鬱嗎? 可是感覺上好像應該是改善憂鬱才會比較何題目的邏輯... 我被搞混了

[Frankts]

我這邊把lift看成"解除"的意思
我不是把它看成提升 也不知道這樣看對不對
希望沒有誤導大家

簡單來說, 減少睡眠只能很短暫的對憂鬱症有效, 但是很快憂鬱症又會再犯, 所以無法當成一個treatment, 就像止痛藥也不能當成treatment, 止痛藥只能暫時的止住疼痛, 真的想治好, 還是得靠其他的辦法~

lift v.

1 a : to raise from a lower to a higher position : ELEVATE b : to raise in rank or condition c : to raise in rate or amount
2 : to put an end to (a blockade or siege) by withdrawing or causing the withdrawal of investing forces

在本題中作2解吧

yeah, 應該站在醫生的角度想, 雖然很快depression會被解除, 但也很快會恢復depression
所以, 不會拿它來使用treament

[chris8888]

(E) Depression returns in full force as soon as the patient sleeps for even a few minutes.
憂鬱回復很快, 快到跟病人睡了甚至才沒幾分鐘就復發了, 所以由於憂鬱症的復發性太快, 保持不睡, 但只要一睡個幾分鐘, 一醒過來立刻憂鬱襲來. 所以醫生不會用它來治療.

(A) For a small percentage of depressed patients, missing a night's sleep induces a temporary sense of euphoria.
題目說大部分的患者會因為失眠而造成他們的憂鬱症減輕 (lift), 這句話說 : 一小部分的憂鬱患者, 失眠會造成心情愉快or興奮的感覺.
一點都不能解釋醫生的practce
