A study led by Plana-Ripoll，a doctor at Aarhus University in

Denmark，tries to deal with a fundamental question that has

bothered researchers for more than a century—what exactly

causes mental illness?

In the hope of finding the answer，scientists have piled up a

large amount of data over the past decade，through studies of

genes and brain have found that many of the same

genes underlie seemingly distinct disorders and that changes in

the brain’s decision-making systems could be involved in many

conditions.

The researchers are also rethinking theories of how our brains

go idea that mental illness can be classified into

distinct，separate categories like “anxiety”has been disproved

to a large d，recently they’ve found that disorders

shade into each other，and there are no hard dividing lines.

The researchers are trying to understand the biology that

underlies mental have a few s there

are several dimensions(维度) of mental illness，so depending on

how a person scores on each dimension，they might be more

likely to have some disorders than alternative idea is

that there is a single factor that makes people easier to suffer

from mental illness in disorder they develop is

then determined by other ideas are being taken

seriously though the former one is more widely accepted by the

researchers.

The details are still unclear，but most researchers agree that

one thing is specific：The old system of categorizing mental

disorders into neat boxes does not are also hopeful

that，in the long run，replacing this framework with one that is

grounded in biology will lead to new drugs and

researchers aim to reveal，for instance，the key genes，brain

regions and neurological processes involved in

psychopathology(精神病理学)，and target them with

gh it might take a while to get there，they are

long-term optimistic if the field really does its work.

Matt Doogue， a 34-year-old nature photographer， had

been suffering from depression when he first found his passion

for taking pictures of insects and his work is now featured

in National says that he tried to take his own life

nine years ago after hitting rock bottom.“In the beginning， I

was so paranoid(多疑的) and angry that I couldn’t leave the

house，”says Doogue.“When I attempted to end my life， I knew

I needed to see someone.I went to the doctors and got

treatment， but I knew that I needed something more and that’s when I started photography.”

detail against brightly colored backgrounds， caught the eye of

publishers at National Geographic.“I ended up as one of their

featured photographers，”recalled Doogue.“It was the peak of

my was incredible.”

Originally from Salford， Greater Manchester， he now lives

in Armadale， West Lothian， he fears that

Scotland is in the middle of an epidemic(流行病) of male suicide，

he believes that sharing his love of nature photography can help

others to cope with their mental health issues as well.“I think the

problem is this man-up approach; the idea that men need to be

strong puts so much pressure on young males to be fine all the

time，”says Doogue.“This is why I try and be so open about my

own er I am out with my camera， I don’t

think about my other is just me and the environment

around can lose yourself in a spider making its web.”
