Background: Dementia-like situations and depressive symptoms can be caused by a specific neuron circuit blockage, related
with remote organic causes that are not cited in the CNS. Excessive cytokine secretion during stress situations is one of these causes which can be related with onset of cognitive symptoms including or accompanied by depressive ones, sometimes in an overlapping way. In both cases, chronic inflammation is a common hidden mechanism causing a vicious circle with mechanisms of somatic chronic stress and vice-versa while the serotonin pathway seems not to get seriously involved.
Materials and methods: Psychotherapy could dynamically influence the brain’s and synaptic plasticity by treating disorders in
an analogue with life’s emotional trauma and conflicts, and by altering current life’s stimuli according to the restoration of
memories in the prefrontal lobe and in deeper brain areas. After neurological examinations, EEG, Mini Mental Scale and MRI control, Patients underwent personal and group psychotherapy with selective members of their choice participating in the group.
Results: The reduction of the cytokine’s levels by participation and psycho-education inside the Group Psychotherapeutic
Treatment, could lead to a regulation of IL-1, to the reduction of CRP, to the amelioration of the levels of cortisol thus regulating the inflammation of the bain. The function of the Psychotherapeutic environment as a “container” is strongly associated with stress relief and reduction of the hyper secretion of cortisol, with successful management of the cortisol blood levels, and with impact on the HPA Axis, with consequence to cortisol secretions in the body’s organs and glands. EEG and Mini Mental Scale significantly change and improve after Psychotherapy. Medical treatment for depression and dementia failed in comparison with the benefits which emerged from the Psychotherapeutic method.
