Abstract:
This work evaluated the structure of dreams in depressed patients. The verbal reports of dreams of 100 depressed patients were compared with 251 dreams of a control group. In accordance with the Jungian thought, which view's dreams as texts, dream reports were assessed using textual analysis processing techniques. Significant differences were found in parameter values, as well as in the role of the dreamer as an external observer. Considering the length of the dreams' texts, depressed patients used fewer words than the control group. With regard to sensory field, there were fewer lemmas referring to sight for depressed patients than for healthy participants. This work seems to confirm the value of textual analysis in the study of oneiric material

Abstract:
Depression has repeatedly been found to be a risk factor for completed suicide, particularly when coupled with a pervasive sense of hopelessness. The aim of this study was to evaluate depressed older persons’ suicidal experiences. Data were collected by means of individual in-depth interviews with nine informants living in two districts of Norway. A hermeneutic analysis was performed. One main theme: Going around in a circle and two themes: being alone without meaning in life and struggling to achieve reconciliation emerged from the analysis. An important implication for mental healthcare practice is the need to develop a person’s ability to shape and take control of her/his life. The healthcare organisation must be committed to a plan that sets out strategies enabling suicidal individuals to avoid the negative experience of meaninglessness. It was concluded that suicidal depressed elderly persons need help to escape from their desperate situation. More research is urgently required in order to prevent suicide in depressed elderly persons whose emotional pain is unbearable.

Abstract:
Currently, many experts are discussing and examining the impact of spirituality on health. It is no longer arguable to claim that spirituality has a positive effect on a person’s health. Pope Francis highlights that, in the Catholic Church, every person finds a spirituality that can provide healing. The focus of this paper is limited to the impact of spirituality on the health of persons suffering from depression, particularly on the forms of spiritual help found in Christian spirituality. This paper will be presented in three chapters. In the first, the symptoms and causes of depression are examined. In the second chapter, the author explains what constitutes spiritual help for depressed persons and which aspects should receive special attention in order not to do more harm than good. Various forms of spiritual help for depressed persons within Christian spirituality are described in the final chapter.

Abstract:
BackgroundFew studies have examined religiosity as a protective factor using a longitudinal design to predict resilience in persons at high risk for major depressive disorder (MDD).MethodHigh-risk offspring selected for having a depressed parent and control offspring of non-depressed parents were evaluated for psychiatric disorders in childhood/adolescence and at 10-year and 20-year follow-ups. Religious/spiritual importance, services attendance and negative life events (NLEs) were assessed at the 10-year follow-up. Models tested differences in relationships between religiosity/spirituality and subsequent disorders among offspring based on parent depression status, history of prior MDD and level of NLE exposure. Resilience was defined as lower odds for disorders with greater religiosity/spirituality in higher-riskversuslower-risk offspring.ResultsIncreased attendance was associated with significantly reduced odds for mood disorder (by 43%) and any psychiatric disorder (by 53%) in all offspring; however, odds were significantly lower in offspring of non-depressed parents than in offspring of depressed parents. In analyses confined to offspring of depressed parents, those with high and those with average/low NLE exposure were compared: increased attendance was associated with significantly reduced odds for MDD, mood disorder and any psychiatric disorder (by 76, 69 and 64% respectively) and increased importance was associated with significantly reduced odds for mood disorder (by 74%) only in offspring of depressed parents with high NLE exposure. Moreover, those associations differed significantly between offspring of depressed parents with high NLE exposure and offspring of depressed parents with average/low NLE exposure.ConclusionsGreater religiosity may contribute to development of resilience in certain high-risk individuals.

Abstract. Studies of exercise in depression have not focused on persons already engaging in exercise. The current study aimed to provide an in-depth examination of exercise in depressive persons. In all, 62 depressive outpatients were compared with 62 parallelized nondepressive controls on various aspects of self-reported exercise (total amount, frequency, duration, intensity, type). Of the depressive participants, 52 % and of the nondepressive participants 76 % reported engaging in exercise. Compared with nondepressive exercisers, depressive exercisers exercised less (average total amount of M = 1.7 vs. M = 2.7 hr/week, including all intensity levels), were exercising less frequently (M = 1.7 vs. M = 2.6 sessions/week), and were engaged in fewer different exercise types (M = 1.4 vs. M = 2.0). Groups did not differ in intensity (M = 6.1 vs. 6.2 METs) or duration of exercise sessions (M = 1.1 hr). Exercisers with depression engage in exercise at reduced levels compared with nondepressive exercisers. Interventions to increase exercise in depressive patients should focus on raising the frequency of exercise sessions rather than the duration or intensity.

Abstract:
Previous research examining the impact of training and practice effects on modifying performance of fluid intelligence tasks (Gf) and crystallized intelligence tasks (Gc) were extended to include self-rated performance attributions among non-depressed and depressed older persons. The following general questions were addressed. How does level of depression affect performance on Gf and Gc measures and performance attributions? How does level of depression and degree of benefit from either training or practice relate to changes in attributional styles? The framework used for predicting shifts in attributional styles was the reformulated learned helplessness model. Three hundred twenty-five community-dwelling older persons completed the Gf/Gc Sampler, Beck Depression Inventory, and Attributions for Success/Failure Questionnaire at pretest, posttest (one week), and follow-up (one month). Between the pretest and posttest sessions, subjects participated in one of three experimental conditions; (a) cognitive (induction) training, (b) stress inoculation training, and (c) no-contact control groups. The results from univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance procedures provided partial support for the hypotheses. At pretest, both non-depressed and depressed older persons had internal attributional styles, although based on differential performance outcomes. The depressed persons were found to have more failure experiences as a result of their significantly poorer performance on Gf tasks, versus the non-depressed. Specific Gf training effects were documented regarding attributional shifts for the non-depressed, while there were no changes on their attributional style due to practice on either Gf or Gc tasks. In contrast, only differential practice effects were documented for depressed subjects across Gf and Gc tasks. The importance of assessing personality dimensions in older persons and their xelationship to training and practice effects were discussed, in addition to limitations of the study and suggestions for future research.

Abstract:
The subject of mood disorders and in particular depression is pertinent with rapidly increasing incidences of depression and suicide a widespread phenomenon in the world today. In South Africa, the rates of depression are increasing steadily each year. Much research has been undertaken in the area of depression, with negative cognitive schema identified as a common factor, which increases an individual’s vulnerability or diathesis to depression and hopelessness. The primary aims of this research are to explore and describe the depressogenic cognitive schema of both a depressed as well as normal (nondepressed) individuals and identify the relationship these schema have to levels of depression and hopelessness. In order to achieve these objectives, three measures were administered, the Beck’s Depression Inventory, the Beck’s Hopelessness Scale and the Inferential Style Questionnaire. The research design is quantitative in nature and took the form of an exploratory-descriptive study. The researcher made use of frequency tests to identify frequencies of scores and descriptive statistics to identify the mean, range and standard deviations. T tests, a Pearson product- moment correlation coefficient and factorial analysis of variance (ANOVA) were also employed for statistical analysis within this research study. The findings of this research study identify that the depressed sample scored higher levels of depression, hopelessness and negative inferential style than that of the normal sample.

Full text
Abstract:
Previous research suggested that attentional bias, rumination and avoidance associate with depression. Depressed individuals who show a habitual tendency to attend to negative aspects of their life, to focus on their negative mood and ruminate over the causes and consequences of their depressive symptoms are more vulnerable to depression. Avoidance, a construct that has received relatively less attention in the studies of depression in the past, is considered to play a role in depression as more evidences emerged in recent research. This study examined the tripartite relationship among attentional bias, rumination and avoidance, and specifically, explored the relationship between attentional bias and avoidance in the context of depression. A Chinese clinically depressed sample (N = 91) completed self-report measures on attentional bias, rumination, avoidance and depressive symptoms. Results showed that positive and negative attentional bias, rumination, avoidance were all significantly correlated with depressive symptoms even after anxiety was controlled. Positive attentional bias and rumination were found to be significant independent predictors of depressive symptoms. Besides, current results supported the role of avoidance as a partial mediator in the relationships between attentional bias (both positive and negative) and depressive symptoms. The findings extended current models of depression and further confirmed the role of avoidance in depression. The present results provided important evidences for clinicians to take note of the roles of attentional bias, rumination and avoidance in the development of depression and include attentional training, behavioral activation and cognitive components into their therapeutic interventions for depressed individuals.

Abstract:
AbstractEven in patients suffering from severe physical diseases such as cancer, the request for euthanasia is often motivated by mental reasons: they consider that their life no longer has meaning, are afraid of future suffering or to be a burden for their family and are discouraged because they have to abandon some activities. Therefore, the request for euthanasia more often emerges in isolated or depressed cancer patients. On the other hand, physical suffering can often be controlled with medication, and if refractory, with palliative sedation.Should a lethal injection be the solution that we offer to the emotional despair of cancer patients? What other solutions can be offered? Where can we find the necessary resources to respond to mental and existential suffering? The theories of Viktor Frankl seem to be a good starting point since this psychiatrist devoted his entire career to empirical research on the meaning of life. Frankl’s logotherapy was developed in part in peculiar circumstances of severe suffering: during his deportation to Auschwitz. Frankl’s theories as well as his personal experience show us in an empirical way how mankind can find the meaning of life despite, or sometimes as a consequence of situations of severe suffering.

Abstract:
Depression is a common but serious mood disorder that negatively affects how people think, feel, and function in their everyday life, and it can lead to other emotional and physical problems. This chapter provides a foundation for understanding depressed mood within the framework of integrative mental health nursing. Integrative mental health nursing is founded on the principles of whole-person, relationship-based care provided within the personal, lived context using a range of therapies to support the individual’s health and healing. Nursing approaches are exemplified in the chapter through a case study of an adolescent experiencing depression. Integrative nursing care for persons with depression is based on interventions that move from least intensive/invasive approaches to more, depending on need and context. Integrative nurses incorporate evidence-informed traditional and nontraditional approaches and can effectively promote wellbeing in persons with depressed moods.

Abstract:
This chapter considers the long-term course of depression. Epidemiology has shown that a large segment of depressed persons have a difficult future course, marked by recurrence of disorder and intermittent impairment of function. More benign courses of depression have been overlooked, in part because research has not used samples of depressed persons that are fully representative of the population. A first step towards clarifying who has a poor course and who has a benign course is defining key depression course markers such as recovery, response, and remission. In this chapter, research on depression recovery, response, and remission is reviewed with an eye toward achieving a balanced view of prognosis that considers the possibility both of poor outcomes and of relatively benign outcomes over the long term. The chapter concludes with a consideration of what is known about the best depression outcomes and what it might mean to flourish after depression.

Abstract:
Abstract Couples in which one partner is diagnosable as depressed are encountered by virtually every marital therapist. In addition, couples in which one or both partners have significant levels of depressive symptoms are the norm rather than the exception in marital therapy. Similarly, therapists treating depressed clients individually often discover that marital distress is a major influence in many aspects of their clients’ lives. In response to the apparent interconnection of marital discord and adult unipolar depression, the topic of marital therapy for depressed adults has become an important focus of research. Several questions have been partially answered: Do marital problems precede and predict continuation of depressive symptoms or episodes of depression? Does marital therapy for depression produce improvement in couple distress, in depression, or both? Can marital distress be treated while a depressive episode is ongoing or only after it is over? Would a successful individually focused intervention for a depressive episode cause marital stress to disappear? What specific culture, age, and gender features influence the relationship between marital distress and depression? Our goal in the current chapter is to address these and other questions by presenting major findings in the literature to date and by summarizing them into a relatively simple argument as follows. Marital problems are often present for depressed persons; these problems are serious, and they carry unacceptable consequences for those depressed clients who suffer with them.

Abstract:
Suicidal tendencies have increased today due to nuclear organization of families and rapid urbanization around the world. Loneliness, aggression, and fast-moving daily lives make the youths and the aged persons depressed. Most of the time, they are involved in mutual relationships on social media. Social media posts and chats, thus, become an important resource from where we can find one's mental illness level and suicidal tendances. The most-used keywords are taken from an open database and are analyzed. ML algorithms like random forest, support vector classifier, and KNN are used to train and predict a person's suicide attempt. Out of these algorithms, SVC produces greater accuracy. To generate more accuracy, word sets shall be robust.

Abstract:
With the spread of Major Depressive Disorder, otherwise known simply as depression, around the world, various efforts have been made to combat it and to potentially reach out to those suffering from it. Part of those efforts includes the use of technology, such as machine learning models, to screen a potential person for depression through various means, including social media narratives, such as tweets from Twitter. Hence, this study aims to evaluate how well a pre-trained DistilBERT, a transformer model for natural language processing that was fine-tuned on a set of tweets coming from depressed and non-depressed users, can detect potential users in Twitter as having depression. Two models were built using the same procedure of preprocessing, splitting, tokenizing, training, fine-tuning, and optimizing. Both the Base Model (trained on CLPsych 2015 Dataset) and the Mixed Model (trained on the CLPsych 2015 Dataset and a half of the dataset of scraped tweets) could detect potential users in Twitter for depression more than half of the time by demonstrating an Area under the Receiver Operating Curve (AUC) score of 65% and 63%, respectively, when evaluated using the test dataset. These models performed comparably in identifying potential depressed users in Twitter given that there was no significant difference in their AUC scores when subjected to a z-test at 95% confidence interval and 0.05 level of significance (p = 0.21). These results suggest DistilBERT, when fine-tuned, may be used to detect potential users in Twitter for depression.

Abstract:
Introduction: There are vital needs that keep us going even when we are worn out or without a clear expectation of achieving some transfer to an external object. Unlike common sense, the demands of life do not come from what we want from the outside world, in other words, from our material aspirations. The outside world depresses us, but it doesn't cause us melancholy. What drives us comes from within, from our own lived body. For Jerusalinsky (2012), the repeated search for transference in autism constitutes fragments designated as partial objects. It still relativizes the imagined totalization, being that it prescinds to being only that agent who lives on the other side of the mirror (maternal agent). Objectives: The aim of this paper is to present the body as a memory of repetition in Autism and what the consequences would be of placing this body in relation with the internal and external world, with spaces, others and oneself. Methodology: In discourse analysis, we use movement and relationship as a theoretical-analytical device. Thus, the production of meanings is understood in comparisons, relationships, dissonances, approximations and displacements. It is in the event and in the analysis of other (non-linguistic) materialities that we will present the results. Results: The experiential experiences of childhood and the relationship between mother and baby are primordial for subjective constitution and the production of meanings in the formation of the psyche. Affective life, emotions, identifications and the strengthening of bonds of social belonging are anchored in this phase and from there emanate all the threads that bind the unconscious content. The case study of mother A.S. and her relationship with little R.A. showed that the child with autism is constituted in primary and secondary regressive and partial identifications, with their own singularity constituted in repetition. The symbolic and imaginary contents to remember and repeat are repeated without success. Conclusion: This work has focused on the considerations of Merleau-Ponty's (2011) studies on the body that inhabits the world and makes it a lived world. All the premises about affective life, the formation of the psyche and the unconscious come from the studies of Sigmund Freud and the psychoanalysts who followed him and affirmed or refuted his writings, helping psychoanalysis to become a theory in process. The case study presented in this paper is about little R.A., aged four, and his mother, his personal history and the constitution of a subjective body in the memory of repetition.

Abstract:
Past research has provided evidence of the role of some personal characteristics as risk factors for depression. However, few studies have examined jointly their specific impact and whether country characteristics change the probability of being depressed. In general, this is due to the use of single-country databases. The aim of this paper is to extend previous findings by employing a much larger dataset and including the country effects mentioned above. The paper estimates probit models with country effects and explores linkages between specific environmental factors and depression using data from the 2007 Gallup Public Opinion Poll. Findings indicate that depression is positively related to being a woman, adulthood, divorce, widowhood, unemployment and low income. Moreover, there is evidence of the significant positive association between inequality and depression, especially for those living in urban areas. Finally, some populations characteristics facilitate depression (age distribution and religious affiliation).
