“…Samples of youth with diagnosed depressive disorders have typically been recruited from treatment settings, often including inpatient facilities. As only about 20% of depressed children and adolescents receive any form of mental health treatment (Lewinsohn, Rohde, & Seeley, 1995;Keller, Lavori, Beardslee, Wunder, & Ryan, 1991), this sampling strategy brings into question the generalizability of the information gathered. This is particularly the case as preliminary evidence suggests that family discord is greater in families who seek treatment than in those who do not (Lewinsohn, Clarke, Rohde, Hops, & Seeley, 1996).…”

This study compared family relationships across three groups of adolescents: a) those with unipolar depressive disorders (n = 82); b) those with subdiagnostic depressive symptoms (n = 78); and c) those without emotional or behavioral difficulties (n = 83). Results based on multi-source, multimethod constructs indicated that depressed adolescents, as well as those with subdiagnostic symptomatology, experience less supportive and more conflictual relationships with each of their parents than do healthy adolescents. These findings are notable in demonstrating that adverse fatheradolescent relationships are associated with depressive symptomatology in much the same way as mother-adolescent relationships. As well, they add to the emerging evidence that adolescents with subdiagnostic symptoms experience difficulties in social relationships similar to those experienced by adolescents with depressive disorder.The role of family relationships and interactional processes as factors relevant to child and adolescent depression has received increasing attention over the last decade (Sheeber, Hops, & Davis, 2001). The research to date suggests that adverse family environments characterized by the absence of warm and supportive interactions and, conversely, by elevated levels of conflictual and critical interactions are associated with depressive symptomatology and disorder (Sheeber et al., 2001). These findings are consistent with evidence that chronic interpersonal stress is negatively associated with children's emotional well-being (Compas, Grant, & Ey, 1994;Rudolph, Hammen, Burge, Lindberg, Herzberg, & Daley, 2000). It is important to note in this regard, that although adolescents spend increasing amounts of time with peers outside of the home, available evidence suggests that the family environment retains its salience and in fact, family relations appear to be more reliably associated with adolescent depressive symptomatology than are peer relations (Barrera & Garrison-Jones, 1992;McFarlane, Bellissimo, Norman, & Lange, 1994;Stice, Ragan, & Randall, 2004).The primary objective of this study, therefore, was to extend our understanding of family processes associated with adolescent depression by conducting a rigorous examination comparing the nature of mother-adolescent and father-adolescent relationships and interactional processes across three groups of adolescents: (a) those who met diagnostic criteria for unipolar depressive disorder (Depressed); (b) those with subdiagnostic levels of Correspondence concerning this article, including reprints, should be addressed to Lisa Sheeber, Ph.D., Oregon Research Institute, 1715 Franklin Blvd, Eugene, Oregon 97403.

“…Predictors identified within the adolescent were (1) both presence of and duration of prior affective disorders (Harrington et al, 1990;Kovacs and Goldston, 1991;Lewinsohn et al, 1994); (2) learning disabilities (Rutter, 1983); and (3) other psychiatric diagnoses (Keller et al, 1991). The relationship ofIQ and gender to onset of episodes were also examined.…”

“…Depressive disorders at adulthood has a precursor from tender age most especially during adolescence [20,21]. Kim-Cohen et al [22] in their study among 1,037 who were followed for 26 years found that only 25% of their participant experienced depression at adulthood while 75% of adults who met criteria for major depression, had earlier experienced depressive disorder in childhood or adolescence.…”

Introduction: Hearing loss is a silent disability that reduces the hearing acuity of an individual and makes it difficult to perceive or interpret auditory signals. Persons with hearing loss are a heterogeneous group comprising of diverse and complex psychosocial characteristics of individuals who does not readily enjoy the empathy/sympathy received by other forms of disabilities that is readily visible. Hearing loss usually predisposes sufferers to resentment, hostility, rejection and subtle denial resulting to a cascading effect on socio-emotional development and could ultimately lead to depression.Objective: This study assessed the extent and trend of studies on depression among individuals with hearing loss which are domiciled online data bases and to establish the strengths and limitation of such studies in Nigeria. Methods:To conduct this systematic review, a thorough search across multiple databases was undertaken, based upon five search facets ("depression", "depressive symptoms", "hearing loss", "deaf" and "hard of hearing"). Five electronic databases, key texts and references in the articles identified were scrutinized for article that have in their title "depression" and "hearing loss". Results:Data gathered revealed that hearing loss is significantly associated with depression while the onset and degrees of hearing loss poses to be a major correlate of depressive symptoms among the elderly. The study revealed that there is a dearth of studies which distinguished between communication options, parental involvement, socioeconomic status or birth order of the Deaf respondents/participants in relation to depression in their studies. Conclusion:There is a great tendency for depression among the Deaf and/or hard of hearing which may as well instigate suicidal thoughts. This study observed a dearth of studies on depression and its associated symptoms among the Deaf and/or hard of hearing in Nigeria and the Sub-Sahara Africa. Therefore, psychologist and other mental health workers should not take for granted any depressive symptoms among persons with hearing loss.
