Mourning and depressive experience are distinguished to highlight the core of the suffering of people in depression. In the mourning experience a specific person or situation becomes unreachable and therein lies the loss suffered. The experience of melancholic depression differs: what is lost is that which anchors the subject to the fabric which connects him/her to the world. A radically relational approach to depression where the client and therapist are seen as depressing here and now in the therapy’s situation is introduced.

Ford, Megan E. "Preference for Internet Therapy versus Traditional Therapy to Treat Postpartum Depression." ScholarWorks, 2018. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/4626.
A growing body of research has emerged about effective treatments for postpartum depression, specifically how the internet could become a pivotal and vital option for women with postpartum symptoms. With that in mind, the purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate whether women suffering from postpartum depression preferred traditional therapy treatment or internet therapy treatment. The nonexperimental survey design was used to assess differences between groups related to stigma, satisfaction with treatment, and perceived quality of treatment received. Data collected from a sample of 78 adult females, who had previously received postpartum depression therapy treatment, indicated there was no difference experienced between the treatment modalities. Results were calculated using an independent sample t-test, noninferiority design, and it was determined that participants perceived no difference in their experience of stigma, treatment satisfaction, and perception of credibility and quality between the two therapy modalities. This study adds to the growing body of literature that suggests internet therapy may be a viable option for some women. The results encourage positive social change in that psychologists may advance clinical practice through incorporating technology into their treatment plans, thereby benefiting women who suffer from this condition and who may not be able to readily access a therapist's office on a weekly basis.

Beck's cognitive model of depression suggests that negative thinking can play an important role in the development and maintenance of clinical depression. It follows from this that interventions which reduce the frequency or intensity of depressing thoughts will also reduce depression. This prediction forms the basis of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) for depression, as developed by Beck and his colleagues. The cognitive model of depression, and cognitive therapy, are described. The development of a questionnaire (the Cognitions Questionnaire -- CQ) is then presented, designed to assess various dimensions of depressive thinking in relation to positive, negative and neutral hypothetical events. Relationships between scores on the questionnaire and level of depression in psychiatric and community samples are examined, and possible indices of continuing cognitive vulnerability to depression following an episode are explored. As an alternative to the traditional outcome trial, a within-subject experimental design is proposed, designed to test the central prediction of the cognitive model outlined above by examining the immediate effects on depressive thinking and on depression of specified cognitive therapy interventions. A series of experiments is presented, which demonstrated that in patients low in endogeneity, a brief, standardised distraction procedure reliably reduced the frequency of depressing thoughts, compared to a control procedure. As would be predicted from the cognitive model of depression, this was accompanied by significant reductions in depression. A study using non depressed student subjects showed that these effects could not be attributed to the direct impact of the two procedures on depressed mood. Similar results were not found in depressed patients high in endogeneity. The nature of this difference in responsiveness to distraction is explored, and its implications for the theory and practice of CBT for depression are discussed.

Mausner, Oliver. "Depression and Music Therapy: A New Therapeutic Method." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2017. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/cmc_theses/1458.
Depression affects over three million people in the United States every year, with that number increasing drastically as we look at the entire global scale. Depression is described as “a brain disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment in daily life” (Mayo Clinic). Possible causes include a combination of biological, psychological, and stress factors. One explanation that psychologists have found includes some abnormal activity by neural circuits in the brain. Depression is characterized by a continuing feeling of sadness and loss of all interest in daily life. Depression can lead to a range of behavioral and physical symptoms. Some of these symptoms include trouble sleeping, loss of appetite, decreased energy level, inability to concentrate, changes in daily behavior, and low self-esteem (Mayo Clinic). In more serious cases, depression can also be associated with thoughts of suicide. Usually, doctors and psychologists will prescribe medications to hopefully combat the feelings of depression and help the patient get out of their altered state. Other forms of treatment include consistent therapy sessions with a psychiatrist or psychologist, during which the patient talks and vents their feelings. Some medications and talk therapy have been proven to be very successful, while others have not. A possible treatment that not many have considered may be the use of music therapy with depressed and lonely individuals. A main issue facing many people with depression and loneliness seems to be a need and desire for connection. What if music could be that connection they are missing? Many studies show that sad music can be used as a therapeutic tool to help cope with sad feelings, but the song and the patterns of sound within may also be giving the patients something else; a connection that they may not have had in the past. Because of this, music can give these individuals a reference point and a new outlook on their situation. If they struggle to find a strong connection with another human, music could be something for them to identify with and an outlet that could help change the way that they see their situation. Sad music can be a positive influence and a coping mechanism for depressed individuals, due to the fact that it provides them with feelings of happiness and gives them a connection and vantage point that they may not necessarily have seen before they listened to the music.

Davies, Helen. "Investigating attachment narratives in couple therapy for depression." Thesis, University of Exeter, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/10871/18866.
Objective: The Exeter Model is an integrative systemic-behavioural and systemic-empathic couple therapy for treating people with depression. ‘Attachment narratives’ is a component of the systemic-empathic approach, which seeks to help the couple understand how past relationships impact on the current relationship with the aim of rebuilding trust and security between the couple. This study sought to examine how attachment narratives in this Model are used by therapists. Method: Narrative Analysis was employed to explore attachment narratives in three couples who had completed therapy in an outpatient clinic where one member of the couple had been referred with depression. Results: Analysis highlighted four specific ways in which therapists used attachment narratives. These consisted of: therapist enabled stories of past relationships to be foregrounded; attachment theory employed to build hypothesis about attachment styles based on past relationships; therapist helped the couple understand how attachment styles maintain unhelpful cycles of relating and introduced alternative relationship narratives enabling improved trust and security. Analysis also demonstrated the structuring of these attachment narratives across the therapy sessions. Conclusion: This study shows that through the therapist paying attention to attachment styles, awareness of unhelpful cycles of relating within couples can be highlighted, and adjustments to how the couple can relate to each other suggested. This exploratory study serves to better inform the use of the Exeter Model.

Background. Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is a relapse-prevention treatment for people in remission from major depression (rMDD). The neuropsychological mechanisms of MBCT are largely unknown. The key theoretical mechanisms of MBCT include self-compassion and rumination, with other mindfulness-based studies suggesting mechanisms across domains of attention, emotional processing, and cognitive flexibility. The aims of this thesis were to investigate the neuropsychological and neuroimaging mechanisms of MBCT in rMDD and to investigate relationships with relapse six months beyond MBCT. Paper One. 40 MBCT, 33 Treatment As Usual (TAU), and 42 healthy volunteers (HVs) took part. Experimental tasks for self-compassion and rumination were completed at baseline and post-session, alongside self-report questionnaires. Results showed increases for self-compassion following MBCT, with non-specific reductions for rumination. Paper Two. 40 MBCT, 33 TAU, and 42 HV participants took part. Tasks of attention, emotional processing, and cognitive flexibility were completed at baseline and post-session. Results showed increases in positive emotions post-MBCT, with non-specific changes for face emotion recognition and affective attentional bias tasks both post-MBCT and TAU. There were no changes over time for sustained attention or cognitive flexibility. Paper Three. 16 rMDD participants completed baseline and post-MBCT fMRI tasks of sustained attention and self-blame. Results showed reduced activation over time in the bilateral dACC in self-blame contrasts but no activation changes for sustained attention. Paper Four. 69 rMDD participants (38 MBCT & 31 TAU) completed task-based and self-report assessments up to six months follow-up. Non-relapsing MBCT participants showed increased self-compassion post-session which was maintained in follow-up. MBCT non-relapsing and TAU participants showed reduced rumination post-session and in follow-up. Conclusions. MBCT encourages a move towards more self-compassionate, positive processing but does not alter more automatic, bottom-up levels of processing. MBCT initiates a process for change beyond the course, particularly for self-compassion. Findings have theoretical and clinical implications and extend our understanding of the mechanisms of MBCT in rMDD participants.

Naeem, Farooq. "Adaptation of cognitive behaviour therapy for depression in Pakistan." Thesis, University of Southampton, 2011. https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/364922/.
Background: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) in its current form might not be applicable in Non Western cultures. Differences between western and non western cultures have been reportedly widely. Psychotherapy was developed in the west and is underpinned by many beliefs and practices which might be specific only to the Western culture. However, in order to modify CBT we need to understand whether the concepts associated with the CBT might cause conflicts among people who receive therapy, the barriers in giving therapy and the views of the patients. This project was carried out mainly in Pakistan to adapt CBT for depression. Aims: To find out if CBT can be successfully adapted in a Non Western culture. Methods: This was a mixed methods Study. The project consisted of two phases. In the first phase a series of studies were carried out, including interviews with psychologists, patients and group discussions with university students about their views regarding concepts underlying therapy. In the second phase a CBT for depression manual was modified using guidelines which were developed on the basis of studies carried out in the first phase. This manual was then tested in a small pilot project using a Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) design. Results: We were able to find themes and subthemes, on the basis of studies in first phase of the project, which were used to modify a CBT for depression manual. We developed an adaptation framework on the basis of the identified factors. This framework consisted of three broad themes (name theme) with each subdivided into seven sub themes. The pilot study showed that therapists trained for a short period and under supervision can deliver CBT using a manual. Results of pilot showed that modified CBT is more effective than 'care as usual' in reducing symptoms of depression. Conclusions: The study demonstrates that for CBT to be effective in Non Western cultures, it needs modification. This can be achieved using small scale qualitative studies locally, which explore experience of therapists working in a given culture as well as by exploring the views of patients. Further information can be obtained by talking to the members of that community about concepts underlying CBT. However, these are preliminary findings and further research needs to be done to explore this area further.

Burgin, Elizabeth. "Effectiveness of Child-Centered Play Therapy on Childhood Depression." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2020. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1703432/.
Depression in childhood is a significant mental health concern, impacting cognitive, affective, social, behavioral, and physical domains. Children who experience depressive symptoms are at an increased risk for physical and mental health, social, and behavioral problems throughout adulthood. Children who are marginalized due to their socioeconomic status, racial and ethnic identities are at an increased risk to experience depression and limited access to mental health care. Further, previous research has demonstrated limited efficacy of depression treatments for young children. In this study, I examined the efficacy of child-centered play therapy [CCPT], a culturally and developmentally responsive treatment, on depression among young children. Participants were 71 children from five Title 1 elementary schools in the southwestern U.S. referred by school personnel for depressive symptoms (49 males, 22 females; ages 5-9, mean age M = 6.21). The sample consisted of 14 (19.7%) African American, 3 (4.2%) Asian American, 15 (21.1%) biracial, 19 (26.8%) Caucasian, and 20 (28.2%) Latino children. Participants were randomly assigned to eight weeks of twice-weekly CCPT treatment group (n = 34) or a waitlist control group (n = 37). Results of doubly multivariate repeated-measures MANOVA revealed statistically significant improvement in depressive symptoms for children who participated in CCPT on the Mood and Feelings Questionnaire Parent and DOF Sluggish Cognitive Tempo Scale. Repeated measures ANOVA on DOF Total Problems indicated that children in CCPT statistically significantly decreased their demonstration of overall problem behaviors as rated by blind observers. Results of this study support the effectiveness of CCPT with young children of diverse ethnocultural and socioeconomic background.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), also known as seasonal depression, is a subtype of depression in which the patient is affected by hours of daylight received during specific seasons. Besides the classic symptoms of a depressive disorder, SAD causes hypersomnia and cravings for carbohydrates. SAD is caused by several psychological and biological mechanisms of which the shift of the circadian rhythm caused by an imbalance of melatonin is one. This specific mechanism can be treated using bright light therapy. During daily light therapy sessions, the user is subjected to a strong light source directed to the eyes. Although bright light therapy (BLT) is proven to be an effective non-pharmaceutical treatment, compliance and motivation of patients is low.In this paper, we analyse the specific needs and wishes of seasonal depression sufferers, to gain an understanding in the ways in which the light therapy market is currently lacking. By conducting in-depth interviews as well as diary surveys and field research, insights were collected to map the users’ needs and experiences. After a short analysis of the technical specifications and market segments of daylight lamps, a list of requirements was composed to support the design process of a new, innovate light therapy system in which there is a clear focus on user experience.This paper contributes to the literature on light therapy and SAD, offering a new user-centred angle to the theoretical line-up of research papers in order to increase therapy compliance and improve user experience during light therapy sessions.

"Over the years, research has demonstrated that psychotherapy is an effective treatment in different psychopathological conditions. However, which are the mechanisms or processes involved in therapeutic change that could explain its efficacy are not yet clear. The Assimilation of Problematic Experiences Model describes change in therapy as a process that occurs through the gradual assimilation of problematic experiences in the self – higher levels of assimilation seem to be associated with a better outcome at the end of therapy. However, little is known about the contribution of this process to the maintenance of therapeutic gains after the end of therapy. In the current study we aimed to explore how the level of assimilation achieved throughout therapy is associated with relapse prevention after treatment. We analyzed two good outcome cases of Emotion-Focused Therapy, previously diagnosed with depression: one case that remained asymptomatic and another that relapsed one year and a half after the end of therapy. The Assimilation of Problematic Experiences (APES) was used to assess the assimilation levels achieved and the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) was used to assess the intensity of depressive symptoms. Five therapeutic sessions and three follow-up sessions were rated using the APES. The results showed that higher APES levels were associated with lower intensity of symptoms at the end and after therapy termination, being associated with relapse prevention in depression. These results suggest that a complete assimilation of the problematic experiences may help clients to maintain therapeutic gains reducing the probability of relapsing in depression."

In International Conference on Public Health and Humanitarian Action. International Federation of Medical Students' Associations - Jordan, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.56950/xsxm3127.
Background: breast cancer is considered as one the most common type among women worldwide and for Jordanian citizens according to Jordan Ministry of health that there was around 1292 (38.4%) new cases of breast cancer reported in 2020, and The diagnosis of breast cancer is usually associated with psychological stress such as Anxiety and depression that is resulting from the diagnosis itself, where if it's was incurable diseases, fear of death, fear of loss, at the end previous studies show that there is a higher prevalence of depressive disorder which is up to two to three times more than the general population. Objective: Our goal in this cross-section study is to find out the prevalence of psychological and depressive disorders correlates to breast cancer (BC) in outpatient and inpatient setting as it was approved that depression is comorbid to cancer that should not be neglected. We also aim to identify risk factors of depression among study participants like cancer stage ( initial or later), income and marital status, and type of intervention chemotherapy or radiation therapy plus their treatment sessions Method: This study was conducted at king Abdullah university hospital in Irbid, King Hussein cancer center (KHCC), and queen Alia Military hospital in Amman, Jordan. More than 400 formed the study sample include inpatient and outpatient setting of breast cancer using in them Depression and anxiety assessment scale. In the inpatient setting The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) instrument used, which is a 14-question instrument given to patients in a secondary care setting to screen for the presence and severity of depression and anxiety. Also, the beck depression Inventory (BDI) used, which is a self-report rating inventory that measures characteristics, attitudes, and symptoms of depression. In the outpatient setting The PHQ-9 instrument which includes nine questions given to the patient in primary care settings. The anxious symptomatology defined by using the GAD-7 instrument with a total score of 15 and above indicating a case with severe anxious symptomatology. Results: Our study findings demonstrated a higher prevalence of depressive and anxious symptomatology in the inpatient setting and advanced disease stages. In addition, the underutilization of antidepressant therapy was observed. there for we need to consider mental disorder as part of the treatment protocol for breast cancer patient.

Review question / Objective: We aim to assess the antidepressant effects of statin therapy among patients complicated with moderate to severe depression. Condition being studied: Depression is one of the major causes of disability worldwide, and major depressive disorders (MDD) contribute to a significant heavy disease burden, which is expected to be second by 2050, only to heart disease. Despite great improvement in therapy, the treatment efficacy remains low. Therefore, alternative therapies have been intensely investigated. A substantial body of researches have suggested that inflammation is one of the operative pathways between MDD and increased risk of somatic comorbidities, and some specific depressive symptoms. Depression occurs in most patients with cardiac and cerebrovascular disease due to the long-term effects, and depression increases the risk of cardiovascular disease in the population as a whole and in patients with coronary artery disease or stroke. Several observational studies have demonstrated reduced rates of depression among patients taking statins, which may be related to its anti-inflammatory effect. However, whether statin improves the depressive symptoms and its associated mechanism is still mixed. Furthermore, there is little evidence about statin treatment effect in those with moderate to severe depression. In addition, whether the effect of statin treatment on depressive symptom changes with time or is affected by baseline depression severity or percentage change of lipid levels has not been explored in previous studies.

This project aims to appraise evidence of the effectiveness of various practices on reducing stress, anxiety, and depression among parents of infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The project contains six research articles from both national and international journals. Study designs include one meta-analysis, one randomized controlled trial, one small scale randomized controlled trial, one prospective phase lag cohort study, on pretest-posttest study, and one mixed-methods pretest-posttest study. Recommendations for effective interventions were based on best evidence discovered through quality appraisal and study outcomes. All interventions, except for educational programs and Kangaroo Care, resulted in a statistically significant reduction of either stress, anxiety, and/ or depression. Family centered care and mindfulness-based intervention reduced all barriers of interest. There is strong and high-quality evidence for the effect of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy on depression, moderate evidence for the effect of activity-based group therapy on anxiety, and promising evidence for the effect of HUG Your Baby on stress.

Effectiveness and Safety of Electroacupuncture for Depression: a systematic review and meta-analysis. INPLASY - International Platform of Registered Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Protocols, January 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.37766/inplasy2022.1.0068.
Review question / Objective: Is electroacupuncture a safe therapy for the treatment of depression? Is electroacupuncture effective for the treatment of depression, as compared with sham control, or conventional drugs？ Condition being studied: Depression is a mood disorder that causes sufferers to feel sadness, decreased interest, guilt, self-blame, loss of energy, and experience sleep disorders such as insomnia. People suffering from depression even feel they have no way out and have suicidal thoughts. In the United States, the prevalence of a major depressive disorder is 16.2%1-3. The 2010 Global Burden of Disease Study identified major depression as the second leading cause of disability worldwide and a leading cause of the burden of suicide and ischaemic heart disease. At present, depression patients are mainly treated with antidepressants, but the efficacy is extremely unstable. Studies have shown that acupuncture can help improve symptoms in patients with depression, but these clinical studies have not been systematically evaluated, and further confirmation is needed to confirm the efficacy of electroacupuncture in treating depression.
