In the past, it was believed that depression(抑郁症) was more prevalent among the poorer and less educated people, but that is not the case. The truth is, depression can afflict people from all walks of life, and often it hits the most ambitious, creative and conscientious. It is wrong to think that people on the corporate position of the social ladder are not prone(易于......的) to this disease. In fact, executives and professionals who are burdened with mounting pressures in their work may obsessed with all these pressures and become depressed. The suicide of Vincent Foster, a noted American lawyer and White House official is a case in point. Despite the honor of his position, which many people thought admirable, he felt overburdened with pressures and decided to take the easy way out.
Studies show that people born later in this century have experienced much more depression than those born earlier. In fact the rate of depression over the last two generations has increased tenfold. Experts theorize that it could be due to the fact that the younger generations have higher expectations from life and are therefore more likely to suffer from failure, disappointment and hence, depression.
Depression is easily recognizable. The depressed person feels sad or down in the dumps, and loses interest in even the most pleasurable activities. Moreover, he suffers from either significant gain or loss of weight, sleeplessness or over sleeping, sluggish movement and thinking, fatigue, feelings of guilt and worthlessness, impaired concentration and forgetfulness, and in extreme cases, the afflicted person may have suicidal tendencies. It is often believed that depression runs in the family, but this is not conclusively so, since there are eases where depressed persons do not have a history of depression in their families. Depression is often work-related although at times it has its roots in family relations.
People who suffer from depression need not stay in the closet, since it is not a sin or a shame to be depressed. A prompt visit to a psychologist means prompt treatment and hence prompt recovery. Experts guarantee that depression is easily treatable, and in nip-in-the-bud eases, the patient fully recovers in a few days, thanks to the variety of effective treatment available.
Studies show that depression ______.
选项
A、is more common today than in the past decades
B、was more common in the old generations
C、increased ten times in the days of our parents and grandparents
D、afflicts only young people
答案
A
解析
文中第二段指出,一项研究结果表明,本世纪后期出生的人比早期出生的人更易患抑郁症。并举出后两代人患此病的比率增加了10倍的例子来证明。所以我们可判断最佳答案为A顶。而B项认为“抑郁症在上辈们中更为普遍”,这显然与原文相反。C项认为:“该病的发生率在父母辈和祖父母辈期间增加了10倍”。这与文中所说的“最近的两代人,即年轻人及他们的父母辈”不相一致。D项认为“抑郁症仅折磨年轻人。”答案片面,因为父母辈也属于受该病折磨的一代人。所以D项也不正确。
