“…Parental depression is one of the most robustly established risk factors of child and adolescent psychopathology (Brennan et al, 2002;Goodman et al, 2011;Goodman and Gotlib, 1999;Keller and Gottlieb, 2012;Mendes et al, 2012;Weissman et al, 2006;Wickramaratne and Weissman, 1998). A meta-analysis, pooling 121 studies, found a correlation of 0.23 (95% CI, 0.22-0.24) for maternal depression and offspring internalizing problems (Goodman et al, 2011).…”

“…Childhood depression was the most frequently addressed psychopathology (Goosby, 2007;Lau et al, 2007;Lengua et al, 2008), and this outcome was common among the children of mothers with depression (Mendes, Loureiro, Crippa, et al, 2012). This finding might indicate the transgenerational nature of depression.…”

Recognizing the conditions that minimize the impact of maternal depression on children has clinical relevance. The present review aimed to analyze recent empirical studies that have investigated the associations between maternal depression and different social support conditions for school-aged children. We systematically reviewed empirical articles indexed from 2007 to 2014 in the following databases: MEDLINE, PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, LILACS and SciELO. Three keywords were used: maternal depression, social support and child behavior. Twenty-seven articles were included and analyzed. These studies included a broad range of contextual risk factors and social support conditions, and in their predictive models, it was found that less contextual risk and greater parental resources and social support were predictors of fewer problems for the children. The identification of social support sources that attenuate the effect of maternal depression on child outcomes has implications for the development of prevention and intervention programs.

“…Specifically, these researchers observed that in the total sample of 1858 participants, morning cortisol was associated with a high risk of depression exclusively in male participants. Given the higher prevalence of depression in adolescent girls (Domench-Llaberia et al, 2009;FonsecaPedrero, Paino, Lemos-Giráldez, & Muñiz, 2011;Mendes et al, 2012;Weissman et al, 2006), these groups of results (Lewis, Jones, & Goodyer, 2016;Nelemans et al, 2014;Owens et al, 2014) should alert us of the need to shift the focus of our attention towards the search for further sensitive biomarkers of early depression risk in girls. In line with this search for new, more precise biological markers of depression, the usefulness of sAA as a low-cost, biological marker of psychopathology has become a relevant new line of research, especially over the two last decades.…”

Título: Bajos niveles de actividad alfa-amilasa salivar predicen un número más elevado de síntomas depresivos en una muestra infantil comunitaria. Resumen: Los modelos sobre la etiología de los trastornos depresivos sugieren que el inicio de un episodio depresivo es el resultado de un complejo fenómeno que se basa en la interacción entre la carga genética, factores ambientales críticos tales como eventos vitales estresantes y traumáticos, y el efecto de los cambios neuroendocrinos asociados con la respuesta de estrés. Numerosos estudios han resaltado la utilidad de los niveles matutinos de cortisol (C) como un potencial predictor de episodios depresivos. El objetivo del estudio fue comparar la efectividad del C, de la actividad/secreción de la alfa-amilasa salivar (AAs) y de su ratio para predecir la sintomatología depresiva en una muestra comunitaria de 99 niños con edades entre los 8-11 años. Dos muestras de saliva fueron obtenidas en la mañana en dos días escolares. Los profesores describieron el comportamiento de sus estudiantes usando la escala Teacher's Report Form (TRF). Nuestros resultados indican que, con independencia del género, el mejor predictor de las puntuaciones de depresión/aislamiento y del total de alteraciones internalizadas del TRF fue mostrar bajos niveles de actividad de AAs en la mañana. Por lo tanto, esta medida salivar podría ser usada como un marcador biológico del riesgo para el desarrollo de un primer episodio de depresivo infantil. Palabras clave: Alfa-amilasa; Cortisol; Síntomas Depresivos; Estudio Observacional Descriptivo.Abstract: Models of the etiology of depressive disorders suggest that the onset of a depressive episode is the result of a complex phenomenon based on the interaction between genetic background, critical environmental factors such as life stressors and traumatic events, and the effects of neuroendocrine changes associated with the stress response. Numerous studies have highlighted the usefulness of morning cortisol (C) as a potential predictor of depressive episodes. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of C, salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) activity/output, and the sAA/C ratio in predicting depressive symptoms in a community sample of 99 children aged 8-11 years old. Two saliva samples were obtained in the morning on two different school days. Teachers described their pupils' behavior by using the internalizing problems scales of the Teacher's Report Form (TRF) questionnaire. Our results indicate that, regardless of gender, the best predictor of depressive/withdrawal scores and overall internalizing scores on the TRF was lower mean morning levels of sAA activity. Hence, sAA could be proposed as a biological marker for the risk of developing a first episode of depressive illness in child samples.
