When someone has clinical depression, it's important they see a doctor or a mental-health professional who can evaluate them properly and provide effective options for treatment. But there's also something known in the psychology world as subthreshold depression-a condition in which people exhibit some symptoms of depression, but not enough for a clinical diagnosis. 当某人患有抑郁症时，看医生或者咨询心理健康专家是很重要的，他们能恰当评估患者的状况，为他们提供有效的治疗方法。但心理学也有一种叫做阈下抑郁的抑郁症--人们呈现出抑郁症的症状，但还不足以临床诊断是否患有抑郁症。 It's estimated that between 10% and 24% of the population has subthreshold depression (sometimes referred to as mild depression) at some point in their lives. And for those people, a new study suggests, practicing mindfulness meditation may help improve their mood and reduce their risk of developing depression. The study, published in the Annals of Family Medicine, highlights yet another reason why meditation may be good for both physical and mental health. 据估计，10%至24%的人口都会在生命中的某个阶段患有阈下抑郁（有时候也叫做轻度抑郁症）。于这些人而言，一项新研究表明：练习正念冥想或有助于让他们的心情变好，降低他们患抑郁症的风险。研究发表在《家庭医学年报》期刊上，强调了冥想或有利于身心健康的另一个原因。 |
