By Brian Resnick抑郁癥的治療是猜測，精神病學(xué)家正在開始解碼。腦部掃描和機(jī)器學(xué)習(xí)方案將助力突破解碼進(jìn)程。
Here's a frustrating fact for anyone who has been prescribed medication or therapy for depression:your doctor doesn't know what treatment will work for you.一個(gè)令人挫敗的事實(shí)是那些被醫(yī)生處方以藥物或話療對(duì)抗抑郁癥的人們，你的醫(yī)生并不知道什么處置對(duì)你有效。
"It's currently complete? primitive guesswork ," Leanne Maree Williams, a professor at Stanford university, says. " It's? hard to imagine how you can do worse than the current situation.to be honest,"“現(xiàn)在完全是原始的猜測”斯坦福大學(xué)教授麗安娜說，“老實(shí)說，沒什么比現(xiàn)在更糟了。”
depression means being stuck in a chronic sad mood or lack of enjoyment in life, to a degree where it starts to degrade quality of life. the two main treatments are antidepressant medications and cognitive behavioral therapy(CBT), a talk-centered approach that gets patients to readjust their habits. both are equally effective. Around 40 percent of patients will get better on either. but no one treatment reliably works for everyone. It's not just? about? talk therapy versus drugs. Even in the realm of medication, available drugs like Zoloft and Cymbalta will work for some but not others.抑郁癥意味著陷入悲傷情緒或缺失生活樂趣而束手無策，以至于達(dá)到降解生活質(zhì)量的程度。目前兩種主流方法是抗抑郁藥物和認(rèn)知行為療法（CBT）一種以談話為核心旨在重塑病患生活習(xí)性的方法。兩種方法效果相當(dāng)，實(shí)施任一方法都有大約40%的患者會(huì)有好轉(zhuǎn)。但沒哪種對(duì)所有患者都見效，并非話療和藥物間比較，即便在醫(yī)藥領(lǐng)域像目前可用的樂復(fù)得千憂解也只對(duì)部分病例起效。
enter "precision psychiatry" inspired in part by "precision medicine" which changed the way doctors treat certain kinds of cancer. psychiatric researchers are hoping to bring a "precision" approach to diagnose and treat depression using brain scans and machine learning algorithms. Too many patients are left frustrated after? treatments fail.these scientists think they can do better.醫(yī)生們受到精確藥物應(yīng)用于某些癌癥治療的啟示，試圖通過精確醫(yī)藥跨入精確精神病學(xué)，精神病學(xué)研究者希望借助腦部掃描和機(jī)器學(xué)習(xí)算法技術(shù)對(duì)抑郁癥進(jìn)行診斷和治療。太多患者在處置不當(dāng)后被留在挫敗感中，這些科學(xué)家認(rèn)為他們能做得更好。
