Resumo: | Depressive disorders are characterized by a heterogeneity of symptoms, with suicidal thoughts being the most worrying. The treatment for depression basically consists of drug therapy, but about 4% of people who do this type of treatment do not show results and this demonstrates that alternative therapies can be the way to give these people back some dignity. Based on what has been exposed, the objective of this study was to search the literature for evidence that aromatherapy is an option for the treatment of depressive disorders, especially in patients unresponsive to conventional therapies. Therefore, a literature review was carried out in the PubMed database for articles that demonstrated the efficiency of aromatherapy. Aromatherapy has been used for thousands of years, but there are few studies that demonstrate its effectiveness for the treatment of depression and even these results are inconclusive, as most of them were just experiments performed on animals and those performed on humans were related with more transient depressions such as postpartum depression and menopausal depression. With this, it can be concluded that aromatherapy can become an alternative for the treatment of depression, given that its use comes from centuries, but more studies must be carried out on its effectiveness. |

El tratamiento para la depresión básicamente consiste en terapia con medicamentos, pero alrededor del 4% de las personas que hacen este tipo de tratamiento no muestran resultados y esto demuestra que las terapias alternativas pueden ser el camino para devolverles un poco de dignidad a estas personas. En base a lo expuesto, el objetivo de este estudio fue buscar en la literatura evidencia de que la aromaterapia es una opción para el tratamiento de los trastornos depresivos, especialmente en pacientes que no responden a las terapias convencionales. Por ello, se realizó una revisión bibliográfica en la base de datos PubMed de artículos que demostraran la eficacia de la aromaterapia. La aromaterapia se ha utilizado durante miles de años, pero existen pocos estudios que demuestren su eficacia para el tratamiento de la depresión e incluso estos resultados no son concluyentes, ya que la mayoría de ellos eran solo experimentos realizados en animales y los realizados en humanos estaban relacionados con más transitorios. depresiones como la depresión posparto y la depresión menopáusica. Con esto, se puede concluir que la aromaterapia puede convertirse en una alternativa para el tratamiento de la depresión, dado que su uso viene desde hace siglos, pero se deben realizar más estudios sobre su efectividad.Os transtornos depressivos se caracterizam por uma heterogeneidade de sintomas, sendo o pensamento suicida os mais preocupantes.

Com base no que foi exposto o objetivo desse estudo foi buscar na literatura evidências de que a aromaterapia seja uma opção para tratamento de transtorno depressivos, principalmente em pacientes não responsivos as terapias convencionais. Para tanto foi realizada uma pesquisa de tipo revisão bibliográfica em na base de dados da PubMed em artigos que demostrassem a eficiência da aromaterapia. A aromaterapia tem sido usada a milhares de anos, mas existem poucos estudos que demostrem sua eficácia para o tratamento da depressão e mesmo esses resultados são inconclusivos, pois a maioria deles não passou de experimento realizados em animais e os que foram feitos em humanos estavam relacionados com depressões mais passageiras como a depressão pós-parto e depressão na menopausa. Com isso pode-se concluir que a aromaterapia pode se tornar uma alternativa para o tratamento da depressão, haja visto que seu uso vem de séculos, mas, mais estudos devem ser realizados sobre sua eficácia.Research, Society and Development2022-07-24info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/3236710.33448/rsd-v11i10.32367Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 No. 10; e100111032367Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 Núm. 10; e100111032367Research, Society and Development; v. 11 n. 10; e1001110323672525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/32367/27581Copyright (c) 2022 Jéssica Daiane de Melo Maia; Maria Fâni Dolabelahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMaia, Jéssica Daiane de Melo Dolabela, Maria Fâni2022-08-12T22:23:03Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/32367Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:48:24.020730Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
