武林群侠传2.0安卓版:躁郁症的家族因素

研究表明，如果家族中有其他精神紊乱疾病的病史，比如注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)；那么在这样的家庭成长的儿童在今后很有可能会患上躁郁症。

Researchers still do not know what causes bipolar disorder, although it is argued that family history is presently the strongest predictive factor for being diagnosed with bipolar. If an older relative has bipolar disorder, you are at greater risk for developing it.

尽管家族因素是躁郁症预测的重要影响因素，研究者们仍不清楚躁郁症的具体原因。如果你有一个年长的亲戚患有躁郁症，那么你很有可能也会得这种病。

In the present longitudinal study, led by John Nurnberger from the Indiana University School of Medicine, examined the lifetime prevalence and early clinical predictors for psychiatric disorders in 141 high-risk children and adolescents from families with a history of bipolar disorder.

印第安那医学院的John Nurnberger进行了一项长期的研究，他们在有躁郁症病史的家族中选择了141名儿童和成人，并统计了患病率，进行了早期临床精神紊乱的预测。

The researchers found a significant difference between the high-risk families and a group of healthy control families. By age 17, the lifetime prevalence of a major affective disorder (such as depression or bipolar disorder) was more than 23 percent in the high-risk cases, but only just about 4 percent in children of mentally healthy controls.

研究者发现这些高危家族和正常对照组的家族有着明显的区别。在17岁前，高危家族中有情绪紊乱疾病比如忧郁症或躁郁症的患病率高于23%，但在正常家族中只有4%.

Overall, the prevalence of bipolar disorder was 8.5 percent in the high-risk cohort, while no bipolar disorder was reported in the control group. The risk for developing bipolar disorder was more than 5 times greater in the children of families with bipolar disorder than in those from the families in the control group.

总体来说，在高危家族中躁郁症的患病率为8.5%，而正常家族中则没有发现该病例。高危家族中的儿童患躁郁症的几率比正常家族中的要高5倍。

In high-risk children a childhood diagnosis of an anxiety disorder or a childhood disorder like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) significantly predicted the onset of major affective disorders later in life.

在高危儿童中，如果在儿童时期就检查出焦虑症或儿童心理疾病如ADHD，那么很大程度上预示在以后会患情感性精神病。

Children who were in families where others were diagnosed with anxiety or similar kinds of childhood disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) appear to be at significantly greater risk for developing bipolar disorder than children who lived in families without these disorders present.

在有焦虑症或儿童心理疾病如ADHD病史家族中儿童患躁郁症的几率远远大于在正常家庭中成长的孩子。

“[Our results] reinforce the importance of family history in evaluating the meaning of diagnoses in children and adolescents,” wrote the researchers, “and they support a different monitoring and management strategy for children and adolescents with a positive family history of bipolar disorder.”

研究者称“我们的研究强化了家族史在儿童和成人诊断中的评估作用，同时也支持对有躁郁症家族病史的儿童和成人采取不同的检测和控制方式。
