“…Quanto às limitações, destacamos a não utilização de outras metodologias de avaliação para determinar se os participantes preenchem crité-rios de diagnóstico da depressão, e a não utilização de medidas relativas ao auto-conceito e funcionamento interpessoal, enquanto importantes variáveis preditoras da incidência da sintomatologia depressiva (Klein & Santiago, 2003).

Esta investigação teve como objectivo principal caracterizar a prevalência de sintomas depressivos ema dolescentes que frequentam escolas secundárias do concelho de Palmela. Aplicou-se a versão portuguesa do Inventário de Depressão para Crianças (CDI) a uma amostra de 570 jovens entre os 12 e os 17 anos. Fizeram-se estudos das características psicométricas do inventário, cálculo da percentagem de sujeitos considerados sem sofrimento psicológico (amostra total e subamostras) e estudos sobre o efeito preditivo das variáveis critério relativamente aos resultados no CDI. Neste artigo, discutem-se os resultados do estudo, suas implicações práticas e limitações.

“…[41][42][43] Although no population-based studies excluded patients with a history of depression from analyses, 17 hospital-based and rehabilitation-based studies excluded patients with recent or severe depression, 13,26,30,32,38,44 -55 including 6 studies in which patients using antidepressants at entry were also excluded. 30,46,48,[52][53][54] Use of antidepressants at entry or during follow-up was assessed in less than half of the included studies, and ranged from 0% in the first few weeks 56 to 31% at 2 years after stroke.…”

Background and Purpose-Although depression is an important sequelae of stroke, there is uncertainty regarding its frequency and outcome. Methods-We undertook a systematic review of all published nonexperimental studies (to June 2004) with prospective consecutive patient recruitment and quantification of depressive symptoms/illness after stroke. Results-Data were available from 51 studies (reported in 96 publications) conducted between 1977 and 2002. Although frequencies varied considerably across studies, the pooled estimate was 33% (95% confidence interval, 29% to 36%) of all stroke survivors experiencing depression. Differences in case mix and method of mood assessment could explain some of the variation in estimates across studies. The data also suggest that depression resolves spontaneously within several months of onset in the majority of stroke survivors, with few receiving any specific antidepressant therapy or active management. Conclusions-Depression is common among stroke patients, with the risks of occurrence being similar for the early, medium, and late stages of stroke recovery. There is a pressing need for further research to improve clinical practice in this area of stroke care.

“…Although some consider recurrent and chronic depression to be different illnesses (Klein & Santiago, 2003), identifying the correct diagnosis in a particular client is hampered by incomplete remission and memory bias. Current recommended treatments for depression include antidepressant medication, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), counselling, and interpersonal therapy (NCCMH, 2010).…”

EMDR as a treatment for long‐term depression: A feasibility study

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

ObjectiveCurrent treatments for long‐term depression – medication and psychotherapy – are effective for some but not all clients. New approaches need to be developed to complement the ones already available. This study was designed to test the feasibility of using an effective post‐traumatic stress disorder treatment for people with long‐term depression.DesignA single‐case experimental design with replications was undertaken as a feasibility study of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) in treating long‐term depression.MethodsThirteen people with recurrent and/or long‐term depression were recruited from primary care mental health services and given standard protocol EMDR for a maximum of 20 sessions. Levels of depression were measured before and after treatment and at follow‐up, clients also rated their mood each day.ResultsEight people engaged with the treatment; seven of these had clinically significant and statistically reliable improvement on the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression. Daily mood ratings were highly variable both during baseline and intervention.Conclusions EMDR is a feasible treatment for recurrent and/or long‐term depression. Research on treatment efficacy and effectiveness is now required.Practitioner points EMDR may be an effective treatment for depression. EMDR could be considered if first‐line approaches (CBT and counselling) have been tried and failed. EMDR may be particularly helpful for service users with a history of trauma.
