Abstract

This study suggests that adding psycho-education with elements of CBT to antidepressant treatment is feasible, acceptable and can produce further benefits to depressed adolescents in this region.

A Systematic Review and Lived-Experience Panel Analysis of Hopefulness in Youth Depression Treatment

“…2 ). Studies rated as lower quality (Aubuchon-Endsley & Callahan, 2014 ; Gillig et al, 2019 ; Isa et al, 2018 ; Lin et al, 2013 ; Sælid & Nordahl, 2017 ; Smith et al, 2011 ; Teodorczuk et al, 2019 ) did not appear markedly different in reported interventional effects on hopefulness but reported larger effects on depression. Qualitative studies of lower quality (Anttila et al, 2015 ; Midgley et al, 2016 ; Watsford et al, 2013 ) were those which largely focused on hopes for therapy.…”

“…The specific psychological interventions identified were incredibly variable (see Online Appendix E), ranging from cognitive and/or behavioral-based therapies (Fowler et al, 2018 ; Gee et al, 2018 ; Isa et al, 2018 ; Lin et al, 2013 , 2014 ; Metsäranta et al, 2019 ; Ritschel et al, 2011 , 2016 ; Sælid & Nordahl, 2017 ; Shepherd et al, 2018 ) to other talking (Conklin, 2009 ; Green et al, 2007 ; Leibovich et al, 2020 ; Teodorczuk et al, 2019 ), arts (Walsh & Minor-Schork, 1997 ) or activity-based (Gabrielsen et al, 2019 ; Gillig et al, 2019 ; Hambridge, 2017 ; Smith et al, 2011 ) interventions. Interventions were variable with respect to duration and number of sessions (Online Appendix E).…”

“…Most interventions were provided in mental health service settings—of which all but one (Walsh & Minor-Schork, 1997 ) were outpatient—or an educational setting, with two provided in residential care and two in a community nature-based setting (Table 1 ). Most studies involved community samples (Conklin, 2009 ; Gillig et al, 2019 ; Green et al, 2007 ; Lin et al, 2013 , 2014 ; Sælid & Nordahl, 2017 ; Shepherd et al, 2018 ; Smith et al, 2011 ; Teodorczuk et al, 2019 ), others involved clinical (Fowler et al, 2018 ; Gabrielsen et al, 2019 ; Isa et al, 2018 ; Metsäranta et al, 2019 ) or mixed populations (Gee et al, 2018 ; Ritschel et al, 2011 , 2016 ). There was an equivalent mixture of individual and group interventions (Online Appendix E).…”

Prevalence, Barriers, and Interventions related to Medication Adherence Among Patients Diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder: A Scoping Review

“…Moreover, the selected studies used various data sources; the majority obtained from patients (n=21), and direct methods were not used in the included studies. As previously mentioned the variation of the prevalence of medication adherence, the rate of adherence as assessed by using self-reported, claims database/refill data, pill count, health provider's report (self-report, patient record) ranged from 10.6% to 81%, 19,[21][22][23]34,[46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62] 10% to 62.9%, 25,34,63-70 45%, 71,72 and 69.2% to 85.4%, 34,58 respectively. The most common included studies utilized standardized and structured data collection tool, and structured interviews to measure adherence.…”

“…23 However, race-gender also associations with adherence, AD adherence difference across four race-gender subgroups (African-American women, African-American men, White women, and White men), white women more likely to be adherent to their AD medication 3.1 times than African-American women. 50 Moreover, marital status exhibits significant differences in the level of medication adherence. According to Baeza-Velasco et al 48 reported that high adherent patients have a partner.…”
