“…These results show that the loss of everyday adaptive skills and social functioning, as described by parents, can be associated with an increase in the severity of the depressive and anxiety symptoms reported by the patients. Comparably, the association between childhood depression and both low activities in daily life and poor social adaptation has also been demonstrated in children not affected by known genetic syndromes [19].…”

“…VCFS, like other genetic disorders, is often associated with high impairment in daily routine and family functioning and social performance [18]. The adverse influence of anxious and depressive symptoms on children's social, academic and family functioning has also been well established [19]. Therefore, the second objective was to ascertain the effects of anxious and depressive symptoms of children and adolescents affected by VCFS on their level of impairment in adaptive, social and family functioning, controlling for age, gender and intellectual functioning.…”

Velo-cardio-facial syndrome (VCFS) is characterized by a high prevalence of depression and anxiety disorders in childhood and adolescence. These disorders are a source of great impairment in everyday functioning, as well as important risk factors for the emergence of later psychotic disorders. Impairment in daily and social functioning as well as loss of IQ throughout growth are also are well-established correlates of the VCFS. This study aimed to confirm the high prevalence of depression and anxiety disorders. The second objective was to ascertain the correlation between anxious and depressive symptoms and the decline in adaptive and cognitive functioning. A total of 73 children and adolescents with VCFS (mean age 11.9 years) underwent psychiatric evaluation. Subjects were further divided into four age groups: ages 6-9, 9-12, 12-15 and 15-18 years. Assessments measuring intelligence, anxious and depressive symptoms, and adaptation skills reported by parents were submitted to a subsample of 62 children (mean age 12.2 years); 62.2 % of the sample showed an anxiety disorder, specific phobia being the most represented at all ages. Lifetime depression concerned 27 % of the sample, peaking at age 12-15 years. Anxious and depressive symptoms and low IQ were significantly associated with low adaptive functioning. Anxiety and depression are common disorders in children and adolescents with VCFS and have a great impact on adaptive functioning. Clinicians should pay great attention to diagnosis and treatment.

“…We cannot say whether use of a trait depression measure would yield results similar to those we report here. Others have documented the stability of depression (trait) in adolescents, 33,34 however, so it is reasonable to ask whether depression, even at a young age, may play a role in the onset of substance use. Our measure of use of marijuana, cocaine, and inhalants was lifetime use, which is not as specific a measure as annual or 30-day use.…”

Depression and substance use in minority middle-school students

OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the association between depression and substance use in a sample of middle-school students. METHODS: The 5721 students (59%-63% Hispanic) completed self-report items on depressive symptoms, recent smoking and binge drinking, and lifetime use of marijuana, cocaine, and inhalants. RESULTS: Symptoms of depression were strongly and positively related to substance use. For every type of use, a stepwise increase was seen between the percentage of students with low symptom frequency and the percentage of students with more symptoms. A sizable number of users reported symptoms indicating major depression. Depression scores showed few clinically meaningful differences among demographic subgroups. Substance use scores, in contrast, showed meaningful intergroup differences for racial/ethnic group and other demographic variables. CONCLUSIONS: Depressive symptoms and substance use were associated in a sample of middle-school students who were largely non-White and predominantly Hispanic. Greater understanding of the nature of this association is needed; this understanding should be used to design prevention programs, and prevention programs should be introduced at least in the middle-school years.

“…Depressed mood is the most common depressive symptom (Lewinsohn et al, 1998), and it is a risk factor for subsequent depression (Devine et al, 1994). Participants were asked to indicate whether statements describing various feelings and behaviors were (0) "not true," (1) "somewhat or sometimes true," or (2) "very or often true" for them at any time within the preceding 6 months.…”

Objective-Adolescent alcohol involvement may increase risk for young-adult depression; however, findings are mixed and important questions remain unanswered. Because alcohol involvement among teens is multidimensional, this study examined the extent to which four different adolescent alcohol dimensions (i.e., frequency of alcohol use, quantity of consumption, frequency of heavy episodic drinking, and frequency of problem use) were predictive of young-adult major depressive disorder (MDD).Method-Participants in this prospective longitudinal study, which extended from age 11 to age 22, were 429 rural teens (including 222 girls) and their families. Self-reports of each dimension of adolescent alcohol involvement were obtained at ages 16 and 18. Depression diagnoses were obtained at age 22, using a structured interview. Analyses included adolescent depressed mood, measured via self-report at ages 16 and 18. Data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling.Results-The multidimensional nature of adolescent alcohol involvement was best represented by a first-order problem-use factor and a second-order alcohol-intake factor comprised of quantity, frequency, and heavy drinking. After controlling for gender and depressed mood, adolescent problem use, but not alcohol intake, was a significant positive predictor of young-adult MDD.
