“…Hence, replicating and extending the findings reported herein to more diverse samples in terms of psychological and neurological functions would be important. Additionally, it is well documented that individuals of Anglo-European background are more likely to recognize anxiety as cognitively derived, while Hispanic and Asian populations tend to experience anxiety somatically (Rao, Poland, & Lin, 2012). However, the sample examined in the present study was predominantly Caucasian, making it difficult to determine the impact of specific ethnic identity on the degree of reported somatic versus cognitive anxiety.…”

Research suggests a reciprocal relationship between late-life anxiety and cognition, particularly attention and executive functions. Whereas evidence supports a conceptual distinction between cognitive and somatic dimensions of anxiety, their differential relationship with cognitive outcomes has not been examined, particularly on tests of attention/executive functions that rely on processing speed. Study goals were threefold: (a) to describe levels of overall, cognitive, and somatic anxiety in a sample of older adults without dementia, (b) to determine if overall anxiety is associated with performance on select measures of attention/executive functions that rely on processing speed, and (c) to determine if a differential relationship exists between cognitive and somatic anxiety and cognitive performance. Participants were 368 community-dwelling older adults. Results showed that elevated levels of somatic, but not cognitive anxiety were associated with poorer performance across measures. Findings suggest that the nature of anxiety symptoms may have important implications for cognitive performance in older adults.

“…Older patients are less likely to report low mood and often present with only physical complaints or a deterioration in cognitive ability 27. Similarly, some ethnic minorities are more likely to present with nonspecific somatic symptoms 2829. If they mention it at all, patients will often wait until the end of the primary care consultation to share any concerns about depressed mood 30.…”

Depression is a common and heterogeneous condition with a chronic and recurrent natural course that is frequently seen in the primary care setting. Primary care providers play a central role in managing depression and concurrent physical comorbidities, and they face challenges in diagnosing and treating the condition. In this two part series, we review the evidence available to help to guide primary care providers and practices to recognize and manage depression. In this first of two reviews, we outline an approach to screening and diagnosing depression in primary care that evaluates current evidence based guidelines and applies the recommendations to clinical practice. The second review presents an evidence based approach to the treatment of depression in primary care, detailing the recommended lifestyle, drug, and psychological interventions at the individual level. It also highlights strategies that are being adopted at an organizational level to manage depression more effectively in primary care.

“…However, more investigations are needed among under-researched ethnic groups such as Hispanics because previous research suggests that the presentation of depressive symptom domains may differ between racial/ethnic groups (Huang, Chung, Kroenke, Delucchi, & Spitzer, 2006; Rao, Poland, & Lin, 2012). For instance, some studies have found that relative to other ethnic groups, Hispanics endorsed higher levels of anhedonia and somatic complaints (Hernandez & Sachs-Ericsson, 2006; Huang et al, 2006; Lewis-Fernández, Das, Alfonso, Weissman, & Olfson, 2005; Vega, Rodriguez, & Ang, 2010).…”

Objective A limited amount of research has examined the effects of unique depressive symptom domains on alcohol use behavior among Hispanics of any developmental stage. This study aimed to (a) examine the respective associations between depressive symptom domains (e.g., negative affect, anhedonia, interpersonal problems, and somatic complaints) and alcohol use severity among Hispanic emerging adults, and (b) examine if gender moderates each respective association. Method 181 Hispanic emerging adults (ages 18–25) completed an anonymous cross-sectional online survey. Participants completed a demographic questionnaire, the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test, and the Center Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale. Hierarchical multiple regression was used to estimate respective associations of negative affect, anhedonia, interpersonal problems, and somatic complaints in relation to alcohol use severity. Moderation tests were also conducted to examine if gender functioned as an effect modifier between respective depressive symptom domains and alcohol use severity. Results Findings indicated higher levels of anhedonia were associated with higher alcohol use severity (β = .20, p = .02). Moderation analyses indicated that somatic complaints (β = −.41, p = .02) and interpersonal problems were associated with greater alcohol use severity among men (β = −.60, p < .001), but not women. Conclusions Findings underscore the need to examine the relationship between specific depressive symptom domains and alcohol use; and the importance of accounting for potential gender differences in these associations.
