Por que Essas Situações São Importantes?
À medida que aprofundamos a compreensão de como o cérebro influencia nossas emoções, pensamentos e comportamentos em problemas como ansiedade, pânico e depressão, descobrimos que todas essas situações correspondem a uma das cinco grandes dimensões do funcionamento cerebral:
-
Sistemas de Valência Positiva: Como sentimos prazer e buscamos recompensas. Em pessoas com depressão, por exemplo, pode haver uma redução significativa da capacidade de sentir prazer (anedonia), ligada a disfunções nesse sistema.
-
Sistemas de Valência Negativa: Como reagimos a ameaças e sentimentos negativos. Nos transtornos de ansiedade, esses sistemas podem estar hiperativos, gerando respostas exageradas a situações de estresse.
-
Cognição: Processos de pensamento, memória e tomada de decisões. Pessoas com depressão ou ansiedade frequentemente relatam dificuldade de concentração, problemas de memória e tomada de decisões prejudicada, relacionados a alterações cognitivas.
-
Processos Sociais: Como nos relacionamos com os outros. Transtornos como a fobia social ou o transtorno de personalidade borderline podem envolver dificuldades significativas nesses processos.
-
Modulação do Estado de Alerta (Arousal): Como mantemos o corpo e a mente alertas ou relaxados. Em casos de ansiedade e pânico, esse sistema pode estar hiperestimulado, levando à insônia, tensão muscular e fadiga.
O que isso significa para você?
Abordagem Medicamentosa:
A abordagem medicamentosa atual foca cada vez mais em tratar os circuitos cerebrais específicos que regulam comportamento, sono, humor, emoções, concentração e memória. Por exemplo, em pessoas com ansiedade, medicamentos como inibidores seletivos de recaptação de serotonina (ISRSs) podem ajudar a regular o Sistema de Valência Negativa. Já para tratar a anedonia em casos de depressão, a intervenção no Sistema de Valência Positiva pode envolver medicamentos que aumentam a dopamina, responsável por gerar sensações de prazer. Essa personalização permite ajustar o tratamento às suas necessidades individuais, em vez de seguir uma abordagem única para todos.
Abordagem Psicoterápica:
A psicoterapia nas consultas foca em você como um todo – não apenas em seus sintomas, mas também em seus contextos de vida, pontos fortes e vulnerabilidades. Trabalhamos para identificar os ciclos de comportamento que mantêm os problemas, como os pensamentos automáticos negativos em transtornos de ansiedade e depressão. Além disso, buscamos entender as causas subjacentes que predispõem você a essas condições, o que pode ajudar a prevenir recaídas.
Por exemplo, ao trabalhar com técnicas de Terapia Cognitivo-Comportamental (TCC), você pode aprender a reestruturar pensamentos negativos que ativam seu Sistema de Valência Negativa em situações estressantes, promovendo uma resposta mais equilibrada.
Base Científica:
Tudo isso está fundamentado em sólidas evidências científicas nos campos da neurociência, genética e comportamento. Estudos recentes mostram como a regulação de neurotransmissores como serotonina e dopamina, além de intervenções cognitivas, podem alterar efetivamente os circuitos cerebrais afetados por transtornos psiquiátricos, levando a uma melhoria significativa na qualidade de vida.

I started my medical treatment with Dr. Fabio in 2019. I was extremely satisfied with his treatment method and especially with his responsibility and commitment to the patient. The way he administers the medications is very cautious and dosed correctly.

Gislaine Lima
Dr Fabio Fonseca, wise, intelligent, polite, attentive, ethical, super human, likes to listen to his patients and is always assertive...
Thank you very much for all your help. Thank you!
I am extremely grateful to Dr. Fábio for everything he has done for me. I have seen several psychiatrists since I was young, and none of them could diagnose me correctly. I was discouraged by so many doctors and psychologists, so I decided to try one last time. Dr. Fábio was the only doctor who was able to get to the root of the problem and give me an accurate diagnosis. Today, I can say that after less than a year of treatment, I feel completely cured! With a quality of life that I never imagined I could have. My family is completely happy with my improvement and for giving me back my desire to live and socialize with people. Doctor, thank you for everything. May God enable you to help more and more people. My gratitude!
I have been a patient of Dr. Fábio for several years and he has always helped me a lot with his advice. I feel very safe opening up about my anxieties to him because I feel welcomed and understood.
He is very knowledgeable, listens to us carefully and is able to create a doctor/patient bond necessary for humanized care. I highly recommend him.
