How is pain viewed?

Pain is an uneasy perception one has which they can feel it in their body in a discomforting manner on an ongoing daily basis. This pain is incredibly real, even though it cannot be seen, has no weight and can't be heard, it can be measured. The measurement of pain with perception can become an individual's entire way of living.

There are two types of pain and they are Chronic Pain and Acute Pain

Chronic pain sufferers have pain which last 3 months or longer. Folks with this type of pain are frequently left out in the cold because others do not know of how the pain can remain so stretched. A good number of people with this type of discomfort find it impossible to get sympathy and can sometimes end up being addicted to pain killers. This category of pain rarely performs function except to just be there. Ongoing pain has more people on disabilities now than it did 20 years ago when people did not want to recognize their pain due being discriminated against or being seen as frail individuals. This nature of pain can lead people to be infuriated and generally frustrated with their life and loved ones. It can produce the loss of fun of living, socializing and fear of leaving their home.

Bacteria in the gut was related to the brain. Several intestinal disorders are known due to psychiatric disorders such as stress, depression and anxiety. Now scientists reveal that the depression experienced by a person can be combated by consuming probiotics.

One probiotic that is easily obtainable at a yogurt drink containing probiotic. Drinking yogurt is also considered better than the consumption of antidepressants because of fewer side effects.

The findings, reported online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences said that the results obtained could lead to new ways to control depression, anxiety and other disorders.

"It allows a person to eat yogurt with probiotics and not the antidepressants," says researcher John Cryan, a neurologist at University College Cork in Ireland, as quoted by LiveScience, Sunday (09/04/2011).

Cryan said to affect the bacteria in the intestines it can develop a broad spectrum of chemicals in the brain and behavior. As well as allowing the development of therapies for treating psychiatric disorders by targeting the gut.

"The effects depend on the probiotic strain depending on the yogurt, so it does not mean every day should eat yogurt. But it is expected to have fewer side effects compared with drugs," he said.

The researchers indeed have long suspected that bacteria in the gut associated with the brain. For example, some known intestinal disorders resulting from psychiatric disorders such as stress, depression and anxiety in that person.

To find out, researchers experimented on mice given broth containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus JB-1 (bacteria that occurs naturally in the intestines).

Mice given bacteria known to have behavioral stress, anxiety and depression are less. Stress hormone corticosterone levels were significantly lower as well. This suggests that the bacteria can be used as probiotics to improve health.
