118. According to a review of 61 studies of patients suffering from severely debilitating depression, a large majority of the patients reported that missing a night’s sleep immediately lifted their depression. Yet sleep-deprivation is not used to treat depression even though the conventional treatments, which use drugs and electric shocks, often have serious side effects.

Which of the following, if true, best explains the fact that sleep-deprivation is not used as a treatment for depression?

(A) For a small percentage of depressed patients, missing a night’s sleep induces a temporary sense of euphoria.

(B) Keeping depressed patients awake is more difficult than keeping awake people who are not depressed.

(C) Prolonged loss of sleep can lead to temporary impairment of judgment comparable to that induced by consuming several ounces of alcohol.

(D) The dramatic shifts in mood connected with sleep and wakefulness have not been traced to particular changes in brain chemistry.

(E) Depression returns in full force as soon as the patient sleeps for even a few minutes

哪位NN能给翻译一下选项（E），我怎么觉得E说的也不是很对啊？

表面是一个解释题，实际上是一个加强题，只要给出一个事实来支持原文的措施就可以了。彻夜不眠虽然可以减轻症状，但：“只要睡上一小会儿，症状马上又全部表现出来了”

提醒一点：lifted their depression　是指减轻，不是升高。

liu_900老兄，为什么lifted their depression　是指减轻，不是升高？这要是到了考试里怎么能看出来啊
