Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: Malingering is the intentional production or exaggeration of symptoms for personal gain in the context of external incentives. Due to the absence of objective symptoms, depression may represent a relatively attractive option for malingerers. Existing approaches to distinguish between depressive symptoms and possible malingering often use time-consuming psychometric tests or unreliable interview techniques. Short screening tests for malingering may be a practicable alternative and recently South African cut-off scores on tests for malingering were determined for a student sample. The purpose of this study was to establish South African cut-off scores for persons with a diagnosis of depression on screening instruments for malingering. Fifty-one subjects with a diagnosis of depression (measured by the Zung Depression Scale) were randomly ascribed to one of two groups: an experimental group of 25 subjects (instructed to simulate symptoms based on a malingering case scenario) and a control group of 26 subjects (instructed to do their best in the tests). No incentive was provided to the subjects. Each subject completed the 21-item verbal memory forced choice test (FCT), the Rey IS-item test (Rey IS-item), the dot-counting test (DCT), the Word Recognition test (WR) that is part of the Alzheimer Disease Assessment Scale Cognitive Battery (ADAS-Cog) and the Structured Inventory of Malingered Symptomatology (SIMS). The WR test correctly classified 74.5% of subjects with a sensitivity of 93%. The FCT, with a cut-off of> 15.5, correctly classified 72.5% of subjects. A regression equation was computed by combining the FCT, DCT and SIMS. This correctly classified 74.5% of patients with a sensitivity of 69%. The DCT accurately identified 64% of the malingerers using a cut-off score of> 65.57. The Rey15-item test showed poor results and does not seem to be useful as a screening instrument. The WR test shows promise as a screening instrument for malingering. Combining tests when screening for malingering proved to be an effective way to distinguish between malingering of depressive symptoms and real symptoms. The results of this study will help provide guidelines to mental health workers on how to diagnose malingering in patients with depression more objectively.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Malingering is die opsetlike nabootsing of oordrywing van simptome vir persoonlike gewin in die konteks van eksterne vergoeding. As gevolg van die subjektiewe aard van simptome, kan depressie 'n relatief aantreklike opsie wees wanneer psigiatriese kondisies gesimuleer word. Bestaande maniere om te onderskei tussen werklike depressiewe simptome en moontlike malingering, gebruik tydrowende psigometriese toetse of onbetroubare onderhoudstegnieke. Kort siftingstoetse vir malingering kan 'n praktiese altenatief wees en onlangse Suid-Afrikaanse afsnypunte op toetse vir malingering is bepaal vir 'n studentesteekproef. Die doel van hierdie studie was om Suid-Afrikaanse afsnypunte te verkry vir malingeringstoetse vir mense met 'n diagnose van depressie. Een en vyftig subjekte met 'n diagnose van depressie (gemeet deur die Zung Depressieskaal) is ewekansig toegewys aan een van twee groepe: 'n eksperimentele groep van 25 subjekte (met die opdrag om simptome te simuleer op grond van 'n malingering-scenario) en 'n kontrolegroep van 26 subjekte (met die opdrag om hulle bes te doen in die toetse). Geen vergoeding is aan proefpersone gebied nie. Elke subjek het die 21-item verbal memory forced choice test (FfC), die Rey 15-item test (Rey IS-item), die dot-counting test (DCT), die Word Recognition test (WR) wat deel vorm van die Alzheimer Disease Assessment Scale Cognitive Battery (ADAS-Cog) en die Structured Inventory of Malingered Symptomatology (SIMS) voltooi. Die WR het 74.5% van die subjekte korrek geklasifiseer met 'n sensitiwiteit van 93%. Die FCT, met 'n afsnypunt van <15.5, het 72.5% van die subjekte korrek geklassifiseer. 'n Regressie-vergelyking is bereken deur 'n kombinering van die FCT, DCT en SIMS. Dit het 74.5% van die subjekte korrek geklassifiseer met 'n sensitiwiteit van 69%. Die DeT kon 64% van die malingeerders akkuraat identifiseer deur gebruik te maak van 'n afsnypunt van> 65.57. Die Rey IS-item toets het swak resultate getoon en blyk nie bruikbaar te wees as 'n siftingstoets nie. Die WR toon potensiaal as In siftingstoets vir malingering. Die kombinering van toetse wanneer pasiënte gesif word vir malingering blyk 'n effektiewe manier te wees om te onderskei tussen die malingering van depressiewe simptome en werklike simptome. Die resultate van hierdie studie kan help om riglyne te skep vir geestesgesondheidswerkers oor hoe om malingering van depressie meer objektief te diagnoseer.

Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: People diagnosed as being HIV positive or having AIDS develop depression as they attempt to cope with their daily lives. Some studies have indicated the prevalence of depression and anxiety in people living with HIV/AIDS is higher than in the general population. An evaluation of gender related factors that lead to depression after a diagnosis with HIV/AIDS will highlight the incidences and frequency of what individuals experience in their daily lives. The research is a descriptive study in which the factors that cause depression after HIV/AIDS diagnosis were identified and related to gender. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used to analyse the responses elicited from the participants in the sample. Twenty five PLHAs who had been diagnosed with depression were selected from patients attending both Nthabiseng and Luthando Clinics at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto, Johannesburg. A questionnaire was designed to gather demographic as well as information regarding family, social and economic history. A short interview was also conducted with selected patients to determine in their own words what causes their depression. The selected patient hospital charts were analysed to gain additional information to complete the equation. A semi structured interview was conducted with 13 selected health care professionals to gather information on how they see depression in the presence of HIV and whether they are adequately equipped to detect and manage this condition. The findings from this study supported the view depression is present or develops after a positive HIV diagnosis and a difference was detected in the causes of depression in women and that of men. Common causes of depression after HIV diagnosis were denial, fear of death and social insecurity. Women were more likely to attribute their depression to denial and worry about work and family responsibility. Men attributed their depression to failure to provide for their family and loss of social status. Recognising the causes of and gender differences in the causes of HIV-related depression may help in designing more effective counselling strategies and improve management and care of PLHAs.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Daar is 'n aantal mense wat nie aan depressie ly voordat hulle met HIV gediagnoseer word nie. Meeste studies dui aan dat die voorkoms van depressie en angstigheid by mense wat lewe met MIV en VIGS heelwat hoër is as die algemene MIV populasie. Baie mense, insluitende gesondheidsorgwerkers, neem aan dat depressie 'n onontsnapbare newe-effek is van MIV/VIGS diagnose. Dus mag dit gebeur dat depressie ongesiens verby gaan, onbehandeld, met die gevolg van oneffektiewe behandeling, riskante optrede, swak bestuur van MIV/VIGS en 'n lae lewenskwaliteit vir hierdie pasiënte. Hierdie navorsingsartikel kyk na die geslags-verwante faktore wat lei tot depressie na die diagnosering van MIV/VIGS. Die navorsing is 'n beskrywende studie waarin faktore wat depressie in MIV/VIGS gediagnoseerde pasiënte veroorsaak identifiseer en gedifferensieer word afhangende van geslag. Kwantitatiewe asook kwalitatiewe metodes is gebruik. Dertig PLHAs wat met depressie gediagnoseer is, word behandel in Nthabiseng asook Luthando Kliniek by die Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospitaal in Soweto, Johannesburg. Nthabiseng is die MIV Kliniek en Luthando is die psigiatriese kliniek vir MIV/VIGS pasiënte. 'n Vraelys is saamgestel om demografiese asook familie, sosiologiese en ekonomiese inligting te verkry. 'n Kort onderhoud is ook met sommige pasiënte gehou om in hul eie woorde te hoor wat hul glo hul depressie veroorsaak. Die geselekteerde pasiënte se hospitaal kaarte is geanaliseer, met die doel om die dokter se insette of redes te kry oor die pasiënte se depressie. 'n Semi-gestruktureerde onderhoud was gedoen met gesondheidsorgwerkers in Luthando- en Nthabiseng klinieke om inligting te verkry oor hoe hierdie professionele gesondheidsorgwerkers depressie sien by MIV/VIGS pasiënte en of hul bevoegd is om dit te identifiseer en te behandel. Die studie het bevind dat daar 'n verskil is by oorsake van depressie by vroue en oorsake van depressie by mans. Mees algemene oorsake van depressie by MIV/VIGS pasiënte is ontkenning, vrees van dood en sosiale onstabiliteit. By die vroue het ontkenning en bekommernis oor werk- en familie verantwoordelikhede meestal bygedra tot hierdie depressie, en by die mans was dit meer asof daar 'n algemene terleurstelling geheers het in hul gemoed. 'n Terleurstelling deurdat hul nie vir hul families sal kan sorg nie asook die vernedering in die sosiale netwerk. Om die verskille in MIV-geassosieerde depressie gebasseer op geslag te kan herken mag bydra tot die ontwerp van meer effektiewe beradingstrategië.

Повний текст джерелаA depressive mood disorder has been for the past decade the mood disorder with the highest prevalence in the general population. Independent studies done in South Africa indicated a prevalence of depression between 13% to 53%. These results do not concur with official published statistics indicating a prevalence of depression in 16% of the general population over a lifetime. Depression is probably under diagnosed by general practitioners and only a small proportion of adolescents with depression are recognised and even less receive any support for their depression. The aim of this study was to explore the following: the prevalence of symptoms of depression in grade 10 learners in schools in Stellenbosch, gender differences regarding the prevalence of depression symptoms in grade 10 learners, the prevalence of specific symptoms of depression and to explore similarities between symptoms of depression and the adolescent developmental phase. The study was conducted by means of the Beck Depression Inventory. The survey was conducted with 201 grade 10 learners with the necessary permission. The results regarding the prevalence of depression symptoms and gender differences regarding the prevalence of depression correlate with international statistics. This study found that more respondents indicated one or more symptom of depression at the given time than indicated by the literature. It was also found that some adolescent developmental tasks are similar to some symptoms of depression. Further research in South Africa regarding the prevalence of symptoms of depression was recommended.

Повний текст джерелаThe growing impact of the analysis of complex signals on biology and medicine is fundamentally changing our view of living organisms, physiological systems, and disease processes. In this endeavour, the basic challenge is to reveal how the coordinated, dynamical behavior of cells and tissues at the macroscopic level, emerges from the vast number of random molecular interactions at the microscopic level. In this way, the fundamental questions could be: (i) how physiological systems function as a whole, (ii) how they transduce and process dynamical information, (iii) how they respond to external stimuli, and mostly (iv), how they change during a pathological processus.
These challenges are of interest from a number of perspectives including basic modeling of physiology and practical bedside approaches to medical and risk stratification.
The general purpose of this thesis, therefore, is to study physiological time series to provide a new understanding of sleep dynamics in health, specifically as they apply to the pathological condition of MDD. More precisely: (1) to quantitatively characterize the complex, nonlinear behaviour of cardiovascular (ECG) and electroencephalographic (EEG) time series during sleep, in health and in MDD. This project will test the hypotheses that both the sleep EEG and ECG detects reorganization in the system dynamics in patient suffering from depression. (2) To develop new diagnostic and prognostic tests for MDD, by detecting and extracting “hidden information” in the ECG and EEG datasets.
Three different methods are introduced in this thesis for the analysis of dynamical systems. The first one, detrended fluctuation analysis, can reveal the presence of long-term correlations ("memory" in the physiological system) even when embedded in non-stationary time series. Graph theoretical measures were then applied to test whether disrupting an optimal pattern ["small-world network"] of functional brain connectivity underlies depression. Finally, multiscale entropy method, which is aimed at quantifying the complexity of the systems' output resulting from the presence of irregular structures on multiple scales, was applied on the ECG signal.
The results indicate that healthy physiologic systems, measured through the EEG and the ECG signals, are the most complex. According to the decomplexification theory, the depressive disease model exhibits a loss of system complexity, with potential important applications in the development and testing of basic physiologic models, of new diagnostic and prognostic tools in psychiatry, and of clinical risk stratification.

Повний текст джерелаThe term Dual Pathology (DP) refers to the coexistence or concurrence of at least one Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and a Mental Disorder (MD) in the same person. Although there is a wide variety of possible combinations given the heterogeneous nature of this condition, this work has considered the comorbidity of three very prevalent severe MDs in DP (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depression). The relevance of DP seems to be related to its etiology and complex phenotypic expression in which multiple risk and protection factors are involved. Added to this is the high prevalence, clinical and psychosocial severity, difficult therapeutic management and worse overall functional prognosis. Today, the correct detection, diagnosis and therapeutic intervention in DP is a difficult task and a pending challenge among professionals and researchers in the fields of mental health and addictions. Scientific evidence and clinical practice show that in dual patients there are cognitive and circadian rhythmic variations associated with the type of comorbid MD, which may result in clinical and functional implications of different impact. Therefore, the objective of the present doctoral thesis was to explore such differences and the interrelation with other sociodemographic and clinical variables based on the type of comorbid psychiatric diagnosis. Our purpose is to try to contribute to the knowledge of a differential profile in dual patients according to the comorbid pathology that could be transferred to the development of possible preventive interventions and therapeutic strategies especially directed to their individual needs. This research covered three areas of study. First, the sociodemographic and clinical variables of the three groups of dual patients under treatment were analyzed, allowing to define and specify characteristics associated with the psychiatric diagnosis and their risk or influence on the onset and development of the comorbid disorder. Secondly, was the evaluation of neurocognitive performance, the analysis of the effect that premorbid intelligence has on it and the interrelation of both with clinical variables. Cognitive alterations are considered as endophenotypes of some MD and, in recent years, individual differences in brain activity and good premorbid functioning have been linked to a better cognitive and functional performance. Finally, differences in circadian rhythmic expression - peripheral body temperature (PBT), sleep-wake time and circadian typology- were explored, including a comparison with a group of healthy controls (HC) and the influence of the type of outpatient treatment or residential (mostly in therapeutic community). The evidence indicates the existence of circadian rhythmic alterations in both SUD and in some MD, suggesting that these alterations could be a significant clinical feature that affects the onset and course of comorbid disorder. Data in dual patients, although scarce, suggest the existence of rhythmic recovery associated with withdrawal time and the type of treatment. A total of 114 male participants aged 20 to 50 years were evaluated, all of them with diagnosis of DP in outpatient or residential treatment (most in the therapeutic community). The participants were divided into three groups based on the comorbid psychiatric diagnosis of schizophrenia (SZ+=38), bipolar disorder (BP+=37) or major depression (MD+=39). Inclusion criteria to the study were regular treatment adherence and clinical stability, initial remission of SUD (not induced), and minimum abstinence period of three months and up to one year. The results indicated that patients with SZ+ presented indicators of a greater risk for the onset and maintenance of the comorbid disorder as well as greater social and clinical severity, such as inactivity due to disability, lower level of studies, and an earlier age of onset for both MD and SUD, more family history of substance use, simultaneous use of more substances, and more nicotine consumption. In contrast to these, patients with MD+ exhibited an older average age, greater probability of being separated/divorced and having children, unemployment due to work stoppage or work leave, age of onset of the latest MD, reduced pattern of drugs, and lower consumption of nicotine. In addition, half of them were undergoing an intensive treatment in a therapeutic community. The BP+ patients were placed in an intermediate position in the majority of the variables, although the group highlighted a higher level of education and a lower severity of addiction. Regarding the cognitive performance, premorbid functioning was conserved in the three groups, as well as visoconstructive and spatial skills, and attention span. Learning and verbal memory were affected in SZ+ and relatively conserved in MD+ and BP+, except for immediate memory. Thus, we observed a good processing of information for MD+, and some difficulties for SZ+ and BP+. The executive functioning of the three groups was adequate except in the TMT task, in which SZ+ and BP+ showed deficits in the cognitive inhibition of automatic sequences and mental flexibility. Moreover, premorbid intelligence influenced almost all cognitive domains evaluated and, to a lesser extent also the age of the patients, the abstinence period, clinical stability, and the age of onset for both SUD and MD+. Regarding the circadian rhythmic expression, the SZ+ patients, followed by BP+, showed a late acrophase and a higher mesor than MD+ and HC. The MD+ patients presented greater amplitude and stability of the rhythm compared with the other groups of patients and HC. In addition, patients MD+ were predominantly within a morning typology, slept less hours a day and got up earlier. All the diagnostics groups exhibited less fragmentation of the rhythm compared to HC. The circadianity index was lower in SZ+ and MD+ than that observed for HC, and according to the normative range. On the other hand, regarding residential patients, those outpatients had a higher minimum, mesor and L10 value, a late acrophase and a delay in the central time of the waking period. They also reported a longer duration of daily sleep, later hours of getting up and going to bed, as well as an intermediate typology. Together with the type of treatment, age, abstinence period and nicotine consumption were indicative factors of rhythmic involvement or recovery. Our findings point out the importance of the cognitive preservation and circadian recovery in the functionality of dual patients; being indicators of these aspects the premorbid intelligence and the residential treatment, respectively. Among the preventive and clinical implications that arise from such findings, it is worth mentioning the inclusion of neuropsychological and premorbid IC assessment in early episodes and at older ages, also incorporating interventions to enrich the cognitive reserve if necessary. Likewise, other clinical implications from our observations are to evaluate the circadian rhythmic state before and throughout the SUD treatment, incorporating chronotherapeutic strategies for outpatients. In conclusion, the consideration of neurocognitive and circadian alterations and the posible impact on them of comorbid MD will contribute to the detection of possible markers of vulnerability and can be predictors of prognosis and adherence to treatment together with the establishment of more precise goals and strategies; oriented to prevention or rehabilitation as well as to maintaining changes in behavior and healthy habits in the medium and long term to avoid relapses.

Повний текст джерелаHese deficits coexist in the acute phase of a depressive episode and interfere with decision-making and goal-directed behaviors, and the associated feeling of effort. They appear to persist in periods of clinical remission, decreasing the quality of the therapeutic and functional response and lately worsening the prognosis of the disorder. The aim of this work is to identify objectively measurable neurocognitive markers in clinical practice, and to study their association with the prognosis of a depressive episode, in order to better predict remission and potentially to optimize therapeutic prescribing strategies for patients accordingly. The impairment of neurocognitive processes related to reward constitutes a first vulnerability marker for major depressive disorder (MDD): in a study assessing the production of motor effort in order to obtain a reward, depressed patients had a deficit in production of effort, unlike healthy subjects. Such deficit in incentive motivation - a process underpinned by the activation of ventral cortico-striatal circuits in healthy subjects - may constitute a specific dimension of MDD. It participates in the decision-making and action processes impairments and is associated with – and possibly a consequence of- more specifically cognitive deficits. In a study assessing several cognitive functions in a large cohort of depressed patients, the persistence of psychomotor retardation after 6 to 8 weeks of treatment - in patients considered as being in clinical remission - was positively and independently correlated with the number of past depressive episodes, thus constituting a marker of "cumulative" marker of past depressive episodes. Finally, in a literature review on the progressive evolution of cognitive deficits in MDD, we discussed the existence of a “neurotoxic” effect of the lifetime accumulation of depressive episodes on neurocognitive deficits and its consequences on disease prognosis (increased risk of incomplete functional/clinical remission, relapses, evolution towards dementia). One of the main interest in identifying clinical and cognitive markers of vulnerability is to highlight their capacity to predict the course of a depressive episode-or disorder. In a study based on a cohort of more than 500 depressed patients, a measurement of attention (d2 attention test) was able to significantly and independently predict the subsequent course towards complete remission (clinical and functional) and to constitute a trait -marker of depression, easy to use in clinical practice. Other cognitive markers (such as executive functions) have shown high predictive values for therapeutic response, comparable to those provided by imaging or electrophysiology markers, according to the results of a recent meta-analysis, that emphasizes the interest of using them in patient’s follow-up. Finally, in order to better assess the prognosis of depressive disorder, we have shown that Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) diagnosis criteria - which nevertheless represents a specific depressive disorder with well-known physiopathology substrates (construction validity) - had a low predictive validity, prompting to consider this disorder as a temporary expression of a mood disorder, rather than a specific disorder. The identification of clinical tools measuring motivational and cognitive deficits in clinical routine and predicting the course of a depressive episode or disorder represents a major challenge in the improvement of personalized therapeutic management and the long-term prognosis in depressed patients

Повний текст джерелаPurpose: To identify variables associated with common mental disorders in an Australian university population. Background: A systematic literature review was conducted to identify research on prevalence and risk factors associated with depression, anxiety, eating and alcohol disorders in university students. The review identified 1200 studies of which 36 met our inclusion criteria. Depression and anxiety disorders were identified as the most prevalent disorders in this group. The main risk factors reported for student mental disorders were: being a woman, being homosexual or bisexual, growing up in a family with low socio-economic status, current financial difficulty and being a man for alcohol disorders. Methods: We invited all Australian based students from a large public university (N=24,209) to participate in a web-based Student Mental Health Survey. Outcome measures included the Primary Health Questionnaire depression, anxiety, and eating disorders modules, and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. Explanatory variables of interest included gender, age, year of study, degree type, financial means, parental education, domestic/international status and sexual orientation. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to estimate independent associations with the four outcomes. Results: Complete responses were received from 6044 students (25%). Proportions reporting depression, anxiety, eating disorders and harmful drinking were 8%, 13%, 14% and 8% respectively, while 30% had at least one of these disorders. The groups with the highest rates of disorder were women, 25–34 year olds, students on low income, and homosexual or bisexual students. Parental education was not associated with disorder, and nor was an international/domestic status. Conclusions: This is the first study examining mental disorders in a population-based university sample in Australia. Groups in particular need are women, students on low incomes and homosexual or bisexual students. Given increasing student numbers and participation of students from lower socio-economic backgrounds, policy is urgently needed to promote better mental health in the population, to routinely identify vulnerable students, and to intervene early. A national longitudinal study examining mental health across multiple institutions with oversampling of high risk groups is recommended based on the findings and limitations of this study. There is also need for further research and development of electronic programs which are cost-effective and preventative in nature, as a first response in a stepped care approach to mental health on campuses.

Повний текст джерелаWhile new motherhood is socially perceived to be a time of great elation and joy, this life stage is also a time of great risk for mental health problems and emotional difficulties. For women, these problems can have long-term impacts including putting them at risk for ongoing mental health problems and dissatisfaction with motherhood. This in turn may reduce infant-mother bonding which can have impacts on the infant’s mental health and intelligence even into childhood. The most common form of mental health morbidity in the perinatal period is postnatal depression, affecting between 10-20% of mothers in Australia (National Health and Medical Research Council 2000). This thesis fills a gap in the current literature by examining both the proximal and distal factors related to postnatal depression in Australia by using longitudinal data collected on a national, broadly representative, sample of women. A longitudinal, multi-methods design was employed to examine the complex associations between risk factors and to also explore the lived experience of new mothers who have experienced postnatal depression. Prior history of mental health conditions were particularly evident as having a significant impact on risk of postnatal depression, as was long-term experience of stressful life events and lack of social support. In addition health and stressful life events in pregnancy and postpartum such as breastfeeding, emotional distress during labour and sleep deprivation had an impact on the occurrence of postnatal depression. The results indicated that understanding a woman’s mental health history is very important in the detection of those who are most vulnerable to postnatal depression. These findings also indicate that treatment and management of depression and anxiety earlier in life may have a positive impact on the incidence of postnatal depression. The findings of this project can direct future mental health clinical guidelines regarding postnatal depression and support the premise of early intervention for mental health problems. By preventing first incidences of mental health problems, recurrences such as those in the perinatal period should be reduced, which in turn will have a positive impact on mother-infant bonding, and on maternal health outcomes and infant outcomes.

Повний текст джерелаBackground: Medication use among older people has received increased attention in recent years because the prevalence of multiple medication use in the older population has increased. There is some evidence that some medications can cause mental illness such as depression, anxiety, and mood disorders. However, there is limited evidence of the association between medication use and mental health outcomes, in older women. Aims: This thesis has six interconnected aims: 1) To describe medications used by women in the ALSWH who were born in 1921-1926 (1921-1926 Cohort). 2) To examine the cross-sectional association between medication use and mental health scores, in women aged 76-81 years, who completed Survey 3 (2002) of the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health. 3) To examine, longitudinally, the association between medication use and poor mental health, in ALSWH participants who completed Survey 3 (2002), Survey 4 (2005), Survey 5 (2008) and Survey 6 (2011). 4) To assess the association between various classes of medication and mental health among ALSWH participants aged 76-81 years, who completed Survey 3 in 2002. 5) To examine, longitudinally, the association between classes of medication used and poor mental health, across surveys 3-6, clarifying, and expanding upon the findings of aim four. 6) To systematically review current literature of studies assessing the association between selected classes of medication and mental health outcomes, in older adults without mental illness. Methods and Results: To reach these aims, secondary data analyses of ALSWH data and four systematic reviews (in 2014 and 2015) were conducted. Women at greater risk of poor mental health who used medications, had more co-comorbid conditions, more symptoms, were more likely to be obese, and to be a smoker. Two analyses were conducted in order to evaluate aims two and three. First, cross-sectional analyses were undertaken, using a multivariable linear regression, to examine the association between medication use, in terms of two measures, and mental health scores, among women aged 76-81 years, at Survey 3 in 2002. A weak linear association between the number of different medications or number of different therapeutic medication groups used, and mental health scores, was found. A second set of analyses examined longitudinal associations between two measures of medication use and poor mental health, by using Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) models. From these analyses, it was found that poor mental health was associated with higher medication use (number of different medications and number of different therapeutic medication groups used). However, the association did not persist after adjusting for physical function and bodily pain. Unadjusted univariate analyses, using linear regression to assess the associations between various classes of medication and mental health scores, among similar women who completed Survey 3, showed statistically significant associations between the use of medications for the nervous system (Class N), blood (Class B), alimentary tract and metabolism (Class A), musculoskeletal system (Class M), and cardiovascular system (Class C), and lower mental health scores, among older Australian women, aged 76-81 years. GEE models were then used to explore associations between these four classes of medication (nervous system, alimentary tract and metabolism, musculoskeletal system, and cardiovascular system medications) and poor mental health, during ten years of follow-up and adjusting for other factors. The evidence from these analyses suggests that there is not a clear association between use of these four classes of medications and poor mental health, in older Australian women. Additional analyses (sensitivity analyses) were also conducted, as part of the fifth aim, excluding women who were using psycholeptics (N05) and psychoanaleptics (N06) medications for anxiety and depression, during 2002-2011. These analyses concluded that using Class A, Class M, and Class C medications were associated with lower risk of having poor mental health, for older women, during 2002-2011. While using Class N medications such as analgesics, antiepileptics, anti-Parkinson and other nervous system medications, was not significantly associated with poor mental health. Following these analyses, four systematic reviews considered whether there is any other published evidence to suggest an association between medications in each of these four classes, and mental health outcomes, in adults aged 65 years and over, without mental illness. These reviews indicated that adverse mental health outcomes such as anxiety or depression, were suspected, for some Class N medications (e.g. tiagabine, topiramate, rasagiline), some Class A medications (e.g. esomeprazole lansoprazole, cimetidine), some Class M medications (e.g. celecoxib, rofecoxib, etoricoxib), and some Class C medications (e.g. indapamide, hydrochlorothiazide/amiloride, metoprolol). Conclusion and Implications: This thesis has added to the evidence base examining the associations between medication use and mental health, and provided a comprehensive approach to examining these associations by using six different medication measures. The study findings presented in this thesis provides evidence that the number of different medications or the number of different therapeutic medication groups are not clearly associated with poor mental health after controlling for physical functioning or bodily pain, which themselves are strongly associated with poor mental health. Using Class A, Class M and Class C medications was associated with lower risk of having poor mental health, in older women, after excluding N05 and N06 medications. With a growing proportion of older people in our society, prescribers should be aware of the advantages that these medications have, for improving mental health. Future well designed studies in different population groups are required to confirm and extend these results, and to especially examine the association between using other common classes of medication, and poor mental health, over time. Four reviews provide evidence that some specific medications in Class N, Class A, Class M and Class C, may play a role in the development of mental illness, in older adults. Future research might include well-designed studies, where the aim is to assess the effects of individual medications, and determine their long-term effects on mental health, and whether these effects are different for older women. The results of this thesis contribute insights to the body of existing knowledge and provide justification for on-going research in this area, especially regarding mental health outcomes, for women. The findings enable clinicians and health professionals to be aware of the possible side effects of using various types of prescription medications, so they can better support this population, especially those at risk of poor mental health. It may be informative for other researchers, by providing an understanding of medication use over the life course, and pre-empting the potential long-term hazards of using medications, in terms of compromising mental health.
