Depression as a Meaningful Meaninglessness by Maria Sergeeva

“…While not denying the biochemical and/or organic changes pertained to depression, positive psychotherapy suggests that behind every symptom, and depression can be considered as one, lies its function. Taking into account the loss of the meaning being one of the manifestations of depression, it can be hypothesized that there is a certain ‘collision’ of two meanings: 1) meaning of life, to which one strives for, and 2) the function of depression in its meaning to depreciate the sphere of meaning in general. …”

Effectiveness of an exercise and nutrition intervention for older adults with mild cognitive impairment: an open-label double-arm clinical trial by Moeko Noguchi-Shinohara, Kunihiko Yokoyama, Junji Komatsu, Kazumi Masuda, Mitsunobu Kouno, Mitsuhiro Yoshita, Kenjiro Ono

“…Therefore, the decline of MPI score in the nonparticipant group is a natural change, however interestingly, the MPI scores improved in the intervention group, suggesting that the physical exercise with nutritional lectures may prevent memory function. Our results also suggest that through physical exercises and nutritional lectures, older adults might have developed exercise habits that increased their muscle weight which might have improved their cognitive function. …”
