Abstract

Depression is one of the most common mental disorders in society. Depression is influenced by several factors, including the personality of the sufferer and the existence of a comorbid disease that aggravates the symptoms. Several previous studies have not clearly reported on the psychodynamic picture of depressed patients with dependent personality disorder accompanied by hypokalemia. The study aims to provide a psychodynamic picture of depressed patients with dependent personality disorder accompanied by hypokalemia. A man, 26 years old, an Indonesian citizen, came with the main complaint of feeling helpless to do anything that has been burdensome for the last 2 months. The complaint was felt to be aggravating after he started working as a private employee. The patient feels insecure in his ability to complete the work assigned to him and feels that he is looked down upon by his peers and superiors. Patients often miss the figure of their deceased father. In addition, the patient has suffered from hypokalemia since he was in high school and has taken potassium supplements until now. The symptoms of depression experienced by patients are aggravated by the presence of dependent personality disorders and hypokalemia suffered by patients. Dependent personality disorder lowers the patient's confidence, and hypokalemia aggravates the vegetative symptoms he experiences, such as body weakness, decreased appetite, and palpitations. Dependent personality disorder and hypokalemia are very influential in aggravating the clinical symptoms experienced by depressed patients

Abstract

Depresi merupakan gangguan suasana hati paling banyak di masyarakat, yang ditandai dengan perasaan sedih yang menetap. Antidepresan merupakan farmakologi utama dalam penanganan gangguan depresi. Namun, antidepresan memiliki kerja yang cukup lama dan efek samping yang besar. Sehingga diperlukan alternatif obat dengan efek samping yang kurang dan lebih efektif. Ageratum conyzoides L. merupakan tanaman herbal yang memiliki aktivitas farmakologi. Selain itu, belum ada pemberian obat secara inhalasi pada pasien depresi. Padahal, sediaan inhalasi dapat membantu penggunaan obat menjadi mudah dan praktis. Untuk menginvestigasi pengaruh sediaan inhalasi dari Ageratum conyzoides L. dalam memperbaiki gejala depresi pada mus musculus. Mus musculus dibagi secara acak dalam 6 kelompok (n=4), yaitu: 1) kontrol normal; 2) kontrol negatif: pemberian chronic mild stress (CMS); 3) Kontrol positif: pemberian CMS + fluoxetine 0,05 mg/kgBB; 4) Perlakuan 1: pemberian CMS + ekstrak Ageratum conyzoides L. (150 mg/kgBB); 5) Perlakuan 2: pemberian CMS + ekstrak Ageratum conyzoides L. (250 mg/kgBB); 6) Perlakuan 3: pemberian CMS + ekstrak Ageratum conyzoides L. (350 mg/kgBB) selama 14 hari. Selanjutnya, Forced Swimming Test dilakukan untuk menilai pengaruh Ageratum conyzoides L. dalam memperbaiki gejala mirip depresi pada mus musculus. Tidak ditemukan perbedaan bermakna antara kelompok kontrol positif dengan perlakuan 1, 2, dan 3. Dan, kelompok perlakuan 2 memiliki kecenderungan lebih baik dibandingkan kelompok perlakuan lainnya dalam memperbaiki gejala mirip depresi. Ini menunjukkan kemungkinan potensi efek antidepresan dari ekstrak ini yang serupa dengan fluoxetine. Ageratum conyzoides L. memperbaiki gejala mirip depresi pada mus musculus dan mungkin memiliki mekanisme kerja yang mirip dengan fluoxetine.
