BACKGROUND Previous research using latent class analysis (LCA) identified classes of people with type 2 diabetes and specific profiles of depression and anxiety. Since LCA-derived anxious depression strongly predicts cardiovascular outcomes and mortality but cannot be applied to individuals, we developed a validated combined depression-anxiety metric, the Diabetes Anxiety Depression Scale (DADS...

Three of the most consistently reported and powerful predictors of depression are a recent major life event, a positive family history for depression, and a personal history of past depressive episodes. Little research, however, has evaluated the inter-relations among these predictors in depressed samples. Such information is descriptively valuable and potentially etiologically informative. In ...

we investigated the association between serum 25(oh) d levels and depressive symptoms in patients with major depressive disorder (mdd).eighty-five adults, 44 drug free patients with mdd and 41 apparently healthy controls, participated in the study. the hamilton depression rating scale was used to assess severity of major depression. mental health of the controls was assessed according to dsm-iv...

Depression has become one of the most common mental illnesses in world. For better prediction and diagnosis, methods automatic depression recognition based on speech signal are constantly proposed updated, with a transition from early traditional hand-crafted features to application architectures deep learning. This paper systematically precisely outlines prominent up-to-date research by intell...

BACKGROUND Major depressive disorder often remains unrecognized in primary care. OBJECTIVE Development of a clinical prediction rule using easily obtainable predictors for major depressive disorder in primary care patients. METHODS A total of 1046 subjects, aged 18-65 years, were included from seven large general practices in the center of The Netherlands. All subjects were recruited in the...

Although “modern-type” depression (MTD), having different features than melancholic-type depression, has become problematic in Japan especially since the late 1990s, there are few psychological studies of MTD. Sakamoto, Muranaka, and Yamakawa (2014) proposed a psychological framework depicting the onset of MTD, and coined a new concept of interpersonal sensitivity/ privileged self, which is ass...

This study examined prevalence of depression and anxiety as well as the relationships of age, gender, hemisphere of lesion, functional independence, and cognitive functioning (i.e., memory, attention/impulsivity, cognitive speed) to depression and anxiety at 3 months post stroke in 73 individuals. Prevalence of moderate to severe depression and anxiety in the sample were high (22.8 and 21.1%, r...

Depressive mood is often preceded by sleep problems, suggesting that they increase the risk of depression. Sleep problems can also reflect prodromal symptom of depression, thus temporal precedence alone is insufficient to confirm causality. The authors applied recently introduced statistical causal-discovery algorithms that can estimate causality from cross-sectional samples in order to infer t...

The authors studied the joint effect of blood pressure (BP) and depression on the risk of major adverse cardiovascular outcome in patients with existing cardiometabolic disease. A cohort of 35,537 patients with coronary heart disease, diabetes, or stroke underwent depression screening and BP measurement recorded concurrently. The authors used Cox's proportional hazards to calculate risk of majo...
