Level6 Unit1 Part3.2 Listening - Depression & Treatment 2

Because the treatment wasn't working, Jack tried something new.

He decided to use brain scans to look inside Bob's brain.

Brain scans are a way to look inside the brain to see how it is functioning.

What the scans showed about Bob was crucial.

They showed that his brain was damaged in a way that nobody had anticipated.

There was significant damage to the front part of his brain.

An injury in this part of the brain can contribute to depression and negative feeling.

It can also contribute to feelings of anger and rage.

The fact that his brain was injured and unbalanced explained why the treatments hadn't worked.

The brain scans showed why the medications and other treatments hadn't worked.

They had failed because they didn't address the brain injury.

After discussing the injury with Bob and his parents, they concluded that the cause of the injury was from playing soccer.

In fact, Jack knew of quite a few soccer players who had suffered head injuries from playing that sport.

Heading a hard soccer ball many times can damage the brain.

An injured brain must be healed before other treatments, such as vitamins, drugs or counseling, can work.
