“…For children at the age of 11, Anderson et al (1987) observed the same prevalence. In adolescents between 12 and 16 years of age, Fleming et al (1989) estimated 1.8%, but Kashani et al (1987) in a sample of 14 to 16 year olds, and Bailly et al (1992), in students aged 14 to 23, found 4.7% and 4.4% respectively; figures similar to those of the girls of 13 years in the present study.…”

“…The total prevalence of D was lower than the findings of Kashani in pre-adolescents (2.5%) (Kashani et al, 1983) and in adolescents (3.3%) (Kashani et al, 1987), but higher than the data found by Lewinsohn et al (1993) in high-school adolescents. The low prevalence of D may be, as suggested by Klerman and Weissman (1988), the consequence of untreated, or only partly resolved, episodes of MD that have become chronic and may explain why higher D would be found at the end of adolescence/adulthood.…”

“…Fleming et al (1989) reported no differences between genders in pre-adolescents while other authors (Kashani & Simond, 1979;Anderson et al, 1987) showed a higher prevalence in boys than in girls. Several studies in adolescents found higher figures of depression in the female sex than in the male (Kashani et al, 1987;Fleming et el., 1989;Lewinshon et al, 1993) although Bailly et al (1992) found no significant differences. Kashani and Sherman (1988) postulated that, as the child reaches puberty and adolescence, the condition becomes more common among girls than boys and this pattern coincides with findings in adults where the rates of depression are higher in women than in men (Weissman & Klerman, 1977;Klerman & Weissman, 1988;CoryeU et al, 1992).…”

Depression characteristics were investigated in 507 adolescents using a two-stage longitudinal study design. The three-year longitudinal study started when the girls and boys were 11 and 12 years, respectively. In the initial (screening) phase the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) was used to select subjects for phase-II of the study in which the Children's Depression Rating Scale-Revised (CDRS-R) interview was used. The caseness definition of Major Depression (MD) and Dysthymia (D) was based on the DSM-III-R criteria. Pubertal development was assessed by Tanner's staging. Estimated prevalence of Major Depression in the female sample for each increasing year of age was 2.2%, 2.7% and 4.1%. In the male sample the prevalence for the three years was 0.9%, 0.3% and 0.6%. There was no relation to age. The estimated mean prevalence of Dysthymia was 1.4% in girls and 0.8% in boys. No association between pubertal development and depression was found. Longitudinal data support the notion of chronic depression in early adolescence.

Differential effects of coping in mental disorders: A prospective study in psychiatric outpatients

1996

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The present follow-up study investigated the differential effects of dispositional coping styles on change in nine clinical syndromes of the Axis I spectrum of the DSM-III-R. Subjects were 155 psychiatric outpatients who were examined 6 and 7 years after their enrollment in the study. Coping accounted for up to 9% of the variance of symptom change over 1 year. As hypothesized, the effects of different coping styles varied considerably across the clinical syndromes. Active goal-oriented coping improved symptoms of the anxiety and the dependency spectrum; seeking social support had beneficial effects on symptoms of the depressive spectrum. The effects of the coping styles distraction, use of alcohol and other drugs, and focusing on and venting of emotions were detrimental, but again in a specific way. The results suggest that the differentiation of outcome criteria for coping is important.
