As I forgot to post new blog report on 12 August, 2010. Today I would like to present an affect of depression that state in “Depression dulls sense of smell” in New Scientist news.
The research of forty-two volunteers, a half is depression and the others are non-depression, by researcher at the University of Dresden Medical School in Germany show that depressive people have the sense of smell smaller than normal about 15 per cent.
Depression and stress might be major cause of mental illness such as schizophrenia. I do not think so with the new, I think that only 42 volunteers can not conclude that lose of smell cause from depress because my own experience when I depress or stress with a work or a final examination, but I still feel good smell sense.

Maybe 15 per cent loss in the sense of smell can not make us noticeable. One thing I remember when I get depress is I feel bored with the foods, but I hunger for sweet snack instead.
