Hey, there. Welcome to life noggin.
嘿，大家好。欢迎来到脑洞大开的生命奇想。
Quarantine and isolation can effectively prevent or at least minimize the impact of infectious disease outbreaks.
检疫和隔离可以有效地预防或者至少可以减少传染病暴发的影响。
And while they can help keep your community healthy, people who are under quarantine or isolation can experience some mental health issues.
虽然这种方式能够帮助所在社区保持健康，但被隔离或隔离的人可能会经历一些心理健康问题。
This is your brain on quarantine.
今天来讲讲被隔离的大脑。
A recent study review the psychology effects of past quarantines that took place all over the world from events,
最近的一项研究回顾了过去世界各地发生的隔离事件对心理的影响，
like the SARS outbreak in 2003 and the Ebola out break from 2014 to 2016.
比如2003年爆发的非典，以及2014年至2016年爆发的埃博拉。
They found that the impacts of quarantining are wide ranging,
他们发现隔离的影响是广泛的，
including symptoms of post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, confusion, and anger.
包括创伤后压力、抑郁、焦虑、困惑和愤怒的症状。
And these effects can last for a while, even years.
这些影响可能会持续一段时间，甚至几年。
In addition to a fear of the virus,
据报道，除了对病毒的恐惧，
things like boredom, frustration and inadequate supplies or finances and a lack of information were reported as being major stressors even months after their quarantine ended.
甚至在隔离结束几个月后，无聊、沮丧、供应不足或资金不足和信息缺乏等都成为了主要的压力源。
Another study of past-quarantines found that these effects more often occur in those with lower income,
另一项关于隔离后影响的研究发现，这些影响更多地发生在收入较低、
a smaller social network and those with a history of mental illness.
社交网络较小和有精神病史的人身上。
When it comes to COVID-19, some studies have already begun looking at how quarantines and isolation are affecting people.
说到新冠肺炎，一些研究已经开始研究隔离对人们产生的影响。
One study surveyed over 24,000 college students in China, they found
一项针对中国2.4万多名大学生的调查显示，他们发现，
that the prevalence of moderate to severe depression symptoms, self-harm or suicidal ideation and emotional distress because of COVID-19
在因新冠疫情导致的中度至重度抑郁症状、自残或自杀念头以及情绪困扰方面，
was significantly higher in those who were quarantined compared to those who weren't.
被隔离的人与未被隔离的人相比，前者患病率明显更高。
Persistent or chronic stress can cause us to seek out sources of relief which can lead to even more health issues.
持续或长期的压力会导致我们寻找释放压力的来源，这可能会导致更多的健康问题。
That's because when the brain is overloaded with the stress hormone cortisol for long periods of time,
这是因为当大脑长时间承受过多的应激激素皮质醇时，
it excessively activates the reward center which makes us look for stimuli.
会过度激活让我们寻找刺激的奖赏中心。
So we might end up doing things like drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes,
所以我们可能会做一些事情，比如喝酒，抽烟，
using drugs or eating bad foods which can cause health issues such as overdose, respiratory problems or cardiovascular disease.
滥用药物或食用不健康食物，而这会导致用药过量、呼吸系统问题或心血管疾病等健康问题。
Despite all these negative effects, quarantining can save lives.
尽管存在这些负面影响，但隔离可以挽救生命。
Studies have consistently found that when people quarantine after exposure to an affected individual,
研究不断发现，当人们接触到被感染的个体后进行隔离，
they can prevent 44% to 96% of new infections and 31% to 76% of deaths.
可以预防44%至96%的新增感染病例和31%至76%的死亡率。
So if you need to quarantine, do what you can to cope with the stress?
所以如果你需要隔离，可以做些什么来应对压力呢?
