Fight DEPRESSION with MAGNET

We all are aware of the use and advantage of magnets in our life, especially in our modern lifestyle from electric, electronic devices to magnetic therapies. But, do you know magnets may treat depression in people who have not responded earlier to drugs. This finding has been disclosed by a research group from Medical University of South Carolina, United States.

For the purpose of study, a group of people were selected and magnets attached to their heads to activate certain parts of the brain. In comparison to people who were treated with a similar device without a magnet, these people reported more relief from depressive disorder.

Out of 190 selected people, just half were randomly assigned to receive the trascranial magnetic stimulation therapy. These people had to wear a helmet like device that applied a magnetic current to the front section of their brain for around 37 minutes a day for three consecutive weeks.

Other participants wore the same helmet for the same duration, but without a magnetic field.

After the study got over, the findings revealed 14 percent of those who received the real magnetic treatment reported relief from depressive symptoms, while only five percent reported relief who had the simple treatment.

FRIENDSHIP an eternal bonding

On this occasion of Friendship Day, I give you a simple but complex thought. Just imagine your life without a friend. Dull, boring and colorless, isn’t it? I knew your answer because this is one such relation we are not born with like other family relations. This is one such relation we make ourselves with a complex blend of heart and mind. True friendship is a gift of God and a friend’s affection is a greatest treasure of life. Many people say a boy and girl can never be friend. This is utterly ridiculous. In fact, a true friend can be anyone irrespective of gender and class. Second thought (?) never comes if one is a true friend.

History speaks in volume about how one sacrificed its life for his friend, and also how one stabbed on the back of his friend. This is just part of life. Sometimes we may be wrong in making right friend, but not always. I mean to say be careful while making friends because you share ever secrets of your life with your friend even those which you can not share with your family members. Oops! I must not speak like this on this very day. So just chill out and enjoy the day with your friends. But do not forget my one advice. Never let build wall between friends. If any problems occur, try to solve it soon. Because communication gap can be perilous for your relationship. Fingers crossed.
