Depressed mood states and their inter-relationship with clinical depression

Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology

Abstract

A study was conducted to contrast depressed mood states in those positive and negative for lifetime depressive syndromes. A non-clinical cohort of 156 subjects was assessed on four occasions over 15 years, with 35% having had a major depression and 22% a minor depression at the most recent assessment. At 5-yearly reviews, estimates were obtained of episode frequency, duration and symptom patterns during depressed mood states. Such characteristics were then contrasted across the three groups of those who had experienced major depression, those who had suffered minor depression and lifetime non-cases. Depressive states were affirmed by at least 96% of subjects at each assessment, with the mean number of episodes per assessment year ranging from 8.6 to 21.2. Those who had experienced a lifetime episode of major depression differed from the two contrast groups (i.e. those with minor depression: non-cases) in having more episodes and more features during episodes. By contrast, there was a gradient across the three groups for two other examined features, with those having major depression being more likely than those with minor depression, who in turn were more likely than the non-cases to have longer episodes and a greater number of...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
