健康择药:百忧解带来的未解之忧

One area of shyness that the S.S.R.I. class has helped overcome is discussion of depression. Decades ago, Hollywood stars and other celebrities dared not touch the subject. Now they routinely go public with their anguish. Robin Williams was an example.

如果说SSRI类药物确实帮助人们克服了某些问题，那么，使人们不再羞于讨论抑郁便是其中之一。几十年前，好莱坞明星和其他名人都对这个话题讳莫如深。现在，他们已经可以很习惯地公开谈论自己的苦恼了。罗宾·威廉姆斯就是一个例子。

Of course, there are those in other realms of society for whom the topic remains taboo. Take one man who confesses to his wife that he is on Prozac but cautions her to tell no one. "I'm serious," he says. "The wrong person finds out about this and I get a steel-jacketed antidepressant right in the back of the head." This is Tony Soprano talking to his wife, Carmela. An extreme example from a work of fiction? Sure. But in all likelihood many Americans have similar fears about what others might think, and keep depression to themselves.

当然，在其他社会领域中，有些人仍然十分忌讳这个话题。例如，有一个人在向自己的妻子承认他在服用百忧解时，警告她不要告诉任何人。“我是说真的，”他说。“要是给不该知道的人听到点风声，我就得脑袋后面吃颗钢制的抗抑郁药。”这是《黑道家族》中的托尼·索普拉诺(Tony Soprano)对他的妻子卡尔梅拉(Carmela)说的话。这自然只是虚构作品中的一个极端的例子。但是，在美国人里，恐怕很多都会对别人的看法抱有类似的担忧，所以他们宁愿对自己的抑郁问题守口如瓶。
