This paper proposes that clinics that care for depressed pregnant women employ an evidence-based yoga intervention spanning twelve weeks with a minimum of twice weekly yoga practice, based on a yoga practice protocol shown to be effective in prenatal depression.

The present study examined relations between choice preference and reaction time to emotionally valenced words, dysphoric symptoms (BDI), and dysfunctional attitudes (DAS) in clinically depressed (CD; n = 61), previously depressed (PD; n = 42), and never depressed controls (ND; n = 46). The results showed: 1) NDs and PDs exhibited a choice preference for the relatively more positive words and differed significantly from CDs; 2) PDs and CDs exhibited longer reaction time and differed significantly from NDs; and 3) BDI and DAS were positively associated with reaction time to positively valenced ...

The diagnosis of diabetes was associated with decreased risk for severe depression at the time of diagnosis in the patient population, with implications for the development of person-centered approaches to care.

A literature review examines the effectiveness of yoga practice in pregnant women who are depressed or have depressive symptoms and proposes that clinics that care for depressed pregnant women employ an evidence-based yoga intervention spanning twelve weeks with a minimum of twice weekly yoga practice.

A 2015 network meta-analysis of 52 prospective RCTs, including about 3,800 depressed adolescents, investigated efficacy of various psychotherapies, finding 63% of the depressed group had another episode of MDD in adulthood versus 31% in the control group (relative risk 2.2; P<.05).

Relations between choice preference and reaction time to emotionally valenced words, dysphoric symptoms (BDI), and dysfunctional attitudes (DAS) in clinically depressed people, and never depressed controls, showed a choice preference for the relatively more positive words and differed significantly from CDs.

This investigation confirms previous findings of an association between low adiponectin levels and depressive state in individuals with BD and might interfere with pathophysiological mechanisms of BD and its somatic comorbidities via involvement in metabolic and inflammatory processes.

Introduction: Late adolescence (16-18 years old) usually experiences a crucial period in life which makes teenagers vulnerable to mood disorders such as depression. One of the interventions that can decrease depression is writing a memoir, biography, diary, and life writing. Writing can disclose the feeling and help mind care. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of life writing therapy to decrease depression in late adolescence. Methods: This study used pretest-post-test control group design with 40 people as samples, divided into intervention and control groups. Befor...

We have interpreted the literature showing left anterior hypoactivation in depression as reflecting a decrease in approach-related motivation and behaviour among depressed subjects. In support of this model, we have previously demonstrated a decreased responsiveness to reward in subclinically depressed dysphoric subjects. The current study was designed to replicate and extend those findings. Clinically depressed subjects who met DSM-IV criteria for major depression were compared to a group of nondepressed control subjects on a verbal memory task under three monetary payoff conditions: neutral,...

The current research shows a connection between N-methyl-D-aspartate antagonists like Ketamine and decrease depressive symptoms, although the use of Ketamine in treating Major Depressive Disorders should not be adopted without further examination.

he effectiveness of life skills training in relieving depression was examined. Sixty two female students in grade nine were randomly selected and assigned to an experimental or a control group. Biweekly, the experimental group received life skills training sessions of two hours, for 12 weeks. The both groups completed the Children Depression Scale (Lang & Tisher, 1983) before and after the training. The results of ANCOVA posited that life skills training significantly decreased symptoms of depression: social problems, and mental preoccupation with illness and death. However there were no signi...

In a preliminary study, Cortico-Binding Globuline (CBG) has been determined in 10 depressed major inpatients (DSM3) and compared with healthy volunteers and reported a clear cut fall of binding activity of transcortin.

A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of fluoxetine in children and adolescents with depression and its use in patients with depression is described.

It is demonstrated here that the EEG dynamics of major depressive subjects is more predictable, that is less complex, than that of control subjects.

Consistent with the emerging theory that altered DMN activity is a risk factor for depression relapses, the association between reduced fALFF in the right precuneus and number of depressive episodes supports the role of the DMN in the pathology of recurrent depression.

Melatonin secretion was inversely correlated with the depressed mood and reality disturbance factors of the Hamilton Depression Scale and these results are consistent with previous reports of low melatonin syndrome in a subgroup of depressed patients.

effects of socio-demographic variables on these depression trajectories. Respondents were 1664 widowed older adults aged over 50 from waves 1 to 11 of Health and Retirement Study (HRS). Depression of the respondents was measured by an abbreviated 8-item version of the Center for Epidemiological Studies—Depression Scale (HRS CES-D). The HRS CES-D score was used for selected respondents at four consecutive waves: pre-widowhood wave, widowhood wave, and two post-widowhood waves. Using latent class growth analysis, four groups were identified as the depression trajectories before and after widowho...

Plasma H2S levels were significantly lower in patients with depression relative to healthy individuals and the results suggest that decreased H 2S is involved in the pathophysiology of depression, and plasmaH2S might be a potential indicator for depression severity.

Depression is a highly prevalent mood disorder, which has been associated with low levels of energetic arousal, delays in approach and avoidance processes, and problems expressing and regulating negative emotions such as anger. We designed a novel experiment to test the hypothesis that depressed patients’ preferences for emotional stimuli also demonstrate this tendency. To investigate how depressed patients differ in their preferences for music excerpts, both healthy (n 1⁄4 30) and depressed (n 1⁄4 79) participants were presented with 2 sets of 30 musical excerpts that represented the basic em...

Both antenatal depression and a lifetime history of depression are associated with a decreased quality of women's speech to their infants, as shown by less focus on their infant's experience, decreased positive affection, and less able to mentalize.

Low PGD2 levels in the plasma of major depressive disorder patients and in the brains of depressive mice were both decreased compared with their corresponding controls, and these levels are associated with depression-like behaviors.

Investigating whether decreased environmental reward was significantly associated with self-reported depression and diagnosed major depression relative to other well-established risk factors that included gender, stressful life events, traumatic life Events, childhood maltreatment, and cognitive vulnerability found it was.

There was evidence that it would be useful in the treatment of anxiety states, reactive depression, and those forms of depression in which there was a strong element of anxiety. It appeared to be particularly suitable for outpatient practice.1' 2'3'4 As reactive and anxiety depression, commonly seen in outpatients, are often difficult to treat satisfactorily because of the persistence of anxiety, we welcomed the opportunity of investigating this preparation for a long enough period to assess critically its value in these conditions.

Current evidence suggests that it is possible to decrease the prevalence of depression in later life, but a more systematic approach to the assessment and management of older adults is necessary.

Analysis of data, which showed a correlation coefficient of 0.35 (p < .002) between depression and subjective time, supports the hypothesis that depression is related to decreased subjective time.

The reported data here are consistent with the hypothesis that an altered GR capacity or function underlies the exaggerated HPA activity in depression.

There is a tendency in the systemic psychiatry of mental states to consider periods of sadness or persistent discouragement in the adolescent, or even just morose states, as signs of pathology. Following the theories of D. W. Winnicott, E. Gut, P. Fedida and Ph. Gutton, we develop the dynamic viewpoint according to which the depressive movement that is inherent to mental life plays a part in the regulation of psychical life. Set in motion by loss or abandonment, it fosters the redistribution of investments, a veritable « re-affectation ». The depressed adolescent subject needs to be accompanie...

Treatment of all depressions rests, primarily, on the one best known item of the natural history of depression, namely, its natural recover-ability, and psychotherapy is helpful in ridding the patient of the guilt associated with his inability to strive towards those goals which have always guaranteed his self-approbation.

Findings suggest that the LGI may be a relatively stable neuroimaging marker associated with MDD predisposition.

It can be concluded that music (memory songs) has an effect to the depression of stroke patient.

The findings show BDD and MDD patients have similar decreases in insular connectivity in the dorsal lateral frontal regions, and BDD patients have specific decreasedinsular connectivity, especially in the somatosensory and motor cortex, which may be used as imaging evidence for clinical identification.

The result of the study confirmed that the clinical nursing practice guideline could reduce depressive symptoms in the patients with major depressive disorders and showed the possibility to implement in the practice setting.

The purpose of the current research was to examine whether individuals with depression are perceived as less desirable for employment and, if so, whether this decreased employability is related to potentially legitimate job-related concerns or simply to the stigma associated with mental illness. In Study 1, we compared the effect of different labels of illness on employability and found that individuals with a label of depression are less likely to be recommended for hiring than individuals labelled as physically ill. In Study 2, we aimed to rule out the possibility that this differential empl...

In primary care patients with major recurrent depression or chronic depression, does a relapse prevention programme improve adherence to medication and decrease symptoms and relapses?

Adrenal gland enlargement occurring during an episode of major depression appears to be state-dependent, in that it reverts to the normal size range during remission after treatment, and it thus does not appear to be an index of cumulative lifetime depression.

Heme oxygenase is a biological factor that might explain the relationship between inflammation, oxidative stress, and the biological and functional changes in brain activity in depression and is a candidate depression biomarker and provides an avenue for novel preventative and diagnostic strategies against this disease.
