The Taragana Fernando says expert in gerontopsychiatry
Taragana Fernando, Argentina Association of Psychiatrists .
Like it or not, much of the current psychology and psychiatry are indelible traces considered Cartesian dualism of mind and body as two opposing substances. However, in his inaugural speech of the 17 th International Congress of Psychiatry, which just ended in this city, Dr. Fernando Taragana, president of the Congress and responsible gerontopsychiatry area of \u200b\u200bthe Argentina Association of Psychiatrists launched a provocative claim: that in a country whose population is aging rapidly,
the best preventive intervention in mental health for the next 30 years is ... physical activity, as walking, swimming, cycling or dancing! .
"If the population continues to grow at its current pace, by 2040 we will have more than three million people 65 years or more, with
anxiety, depression, insomnia and vascular dementia ,
Taragana says. Our mission is to prevent, to get people not only live longer but also live better.
"Being active brings many benefits at any time of life. But at a certain age, aerobic intervention is a medical treatment."
-surprising that the activity proposed to treat psychological problems. We tend to identify psychiatric therapy with Freud's couch ...
"However, both approaches are not opposed at all. We must expand our formulary.
"In a way, do you propose to reconcile body and mind?
"This does not mean or go against therapies or against drugs. But that is after an event. Before is prevention, and in that sense, among the most important factors are modifiable, are the psychosocial.
- What are the proven effects of aerobic activity?
-Reduces the risk of depression, anxiety and insomnia, and increases energy levels and wellbeing.
- Is there a precise moment that should be implemented?
- There is a window of opportunity. Love is beautiful in all ages, but at the beginning of existence it configures and constitutive of our mental structure. Similarly,
exercise in youth is very good for many reasons, but after 50 years is transformed into a medical intervention, because it returns oxygen, returns to the vascular endothelial function and reverses many medical conditions processes .
"If it's so easy to practice, what attributes are not routinely use physical activity as psychological therapy?
- I really like what you said Epictetus says that 55 years after Christ. He wondered if it would be impossible to change what is thought control. Psychiatrists and psychologists hear all the time: "I, if I want, I quit tomorrow," "Tomorrow I start doing gymnastics" or "Cocaine I do not control, I leave when I want ". If a thought to control something, difficult to modify. And on the other hand, psychiatrists still do not know how to use the aerobic activity in psychiatry, because this is new all over the world, not only in Buenos Aires and Argentina, but also in Switzerland, Austria, in Oxford. .. We must respond to the impact that changing population structures generated in the quality of care.
- Is accepting patients?
"We look and say" no, doctor, give me a pill. " Aerobic intervention is badly accepted, and yet reduce the risk of early death, heart disease and hypertension, and even colon cancer. Provide better weight control, lower levels of diabetes, increase bone strength and improving balance. And if adults are going to be so, better be healthy.
