“…These findings refute the possibility that currently depressed women are simply endorsing pre-menstrual symptoms due to current depressive symptoms (i.e., “I feel depressed, so ‘everything’ is wrong with me”) as women positive for history of depression but currently not experiencing MDD (Euthymic MDD Hx+) had rates of PMDD that were elevated compared to never depressed women. These findings are consistent with the questionnaire-based reports of elevated rates of PMDD in depressed women in Japan (Miyaoka et al, 2011), although the prevalence rates in the present study are somewhat lower, as might be expected from the use of a structured interview.…”

Background Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a chronic condition that significantly affects a woman’s well-being on a monthly basis. Although co-occurrence of PMDD and major depressive disorder (MDD) is common, most studies examine whether women with PMDD are at risk for depression and investigations of PMDD in depressed women are scant. Therefore, the present study examined rates of PMDD in young depressed women. Methods PMDD was assessed using a structured clinical interview (SCID-PMDD) in a sample of 164 young women with (n=85) and without (n=79) any history of depression. Results Rates of PMDD were elevated among women with MDD in this sample. This result held true regardless of participants’ MDD status (current, lifetime or past history-only symptoms of MDD) and regardless of whether all or most DSM-IV-TR PMDD criteria were met. Limitations Sample size in the present study was relatively small, and daily diary data were not available to confirm a PMDD diagnosis. Conclusions The current study highlights the need for clinicians to assess for PMDD in young female patients with major depression. Depressed women experiencing the added physical and psychological burden of PMDD may have a more severe disease course, and future studies will need to identify appropriate treatments for this subset of depressed women.

“…There are very few investigations of the prevalence of premenstrual symptoms in depressed women (Halbreich and Endicott, 1985; Hsiao et al, 2004; Miyaoka et al, 2011), none of which provided interview-based assessments of PMDD. To address this gap, the present study examined rates of PMDD in a sample of young depressed women.…”

“…Park et al [ 50 ] showed that walking through a forest reduces negative emotions such as tension, anxiety, depression, anger, fatigue, and improves positive emotions such as vigor. In a similar study, Morita et al [ 51 ] reported that staying and walking in the forest reduces hostility and depression and increases vigor, and further study showed that walking in the forest improves the amount of sleep and reduces the anxiety of participants [ 52 ]. To further clarify the psychological effects of forests, Song et al [ 36 ] divided 624 college students into 52 groups to walk through the forest and urban environment.…”

This study aimed to examine the psychological effects of forest activities in a campus forest. A pre-test and post-test control group design was employed to evaluate the psychological effect of forest activities in a campus forest. A total of 38 participants participated in this study (19 in the forest activities group; 19 in the control group). The Profile of Mood State (POMS) questionnaire, the Concise Measure of Subjective Well-Being (COMOSWB), and the modified form of the Stress Response Inventory (SRI-MF) were administered to each participant to assess psychological effects. This study revealed that participants in the forest activities intervention group had significantly positive increases in their mood, stress response, and subjective well-being, comparing with those of control group participants who did not partake in any forest activities. In conclusion, the implementation of forest activities in a campus forest is an efficient strategy to provide psychological well-being benefits to college students.

“…We selected heated hatha yoga as an intervention to engage this treatment target because it specifically aims to teach individuals to regulate their emotional responding and to persist while being exposed to heat and new or uncomfortable bodily sensations (i.e., a stressor). Like aerobic exercise, yoga results in sympathetic activation through the practice of asana (i.e., physical postures) and certain types of pranayama (i.e., breathing exercises; Bidwell et al, 2012; Sarang & Telles, 2006; Telles et al, 2011) and may similarly function as repeated, prolonged exposure, thereby improving emotional responding in stressful situations. In addition, the meditative and relaxation aspects of yoga result in reduced sympathetic activity and increased vagal tone (Ross & Thomas, 2010; Sarang & Telles, 2006; Telles et al, 2013).…”

Objective Cortisol reactivity to stress is associated with affective eating, an important behavioral risk factor for obesity and related metabolic diseases. Yoga practice is related to decreases in stress and cortisol levels, thus emerging as a potential targeted complementary intervention for affective eating. This randomized controlled trial examined the efficacy of a heated, hatha yoga intervention for reducing cortisol reactivity to stress and affective eating. Method Females (N = 52; ages 25–46; 75% White) at risk for obesity and related illnesses were randomly assigned to 8 weeks of Bikram Yoga practice or to waitlist control. Cortisol reactivity to and number of snacks consumed following a laboratory stress induction were measured at weeks 0 (pretreatment) and 9 (posttreatment). Self-reported binge eating frequency and coping motives for eating were assessed at weeks 0, 3, 6, and 9. Results Among participants with elevated cortisol reactivity at pre-treatment (“high-reactors”), those randomized to the yoga condition evidenced greater pre- to posttreatment reductions in cortisol reactivity (p = .042, d = .85), but there were not significant condition differences for the “low reactors” (p = .178, d = .53). Yoga participants reported greater decreases in binge eating frequency (p = .040, d = .62) and eating to cope with negative affect (p = .038, d = .54). Conclusions This study provides preliminary support for the efficacy of heated hatha yoga for treating physiological stress reactivity and affective eating among women at risk for obesity-related illnesses.
