Adolescent Depression

Objetivo: A depressão na infância e na adolescência, tal como na população adulta, é uma das perturbações mentais mais comuns. Uma vez que o seu aparecimento nestas faixas etárias se associa a consequências graves na idade adulta, é fundamental identificar os sintomas depressivos precocemente. Desta forma, os instrumentos de autorrelato têm um papel fundamental, uma vez que permitem com facilidade, de forma fidedigna e válida, ter acesso a formas de pensar, sentir e agir dos sujeitos. O objetivo do presente trabalho é avaliar as propriedades psicométricas (fidedignidade e validade) da tradução portuguesa da Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale for Children (CES-DC). Métodos: A amostra é constituída por 417 adolescentes, com idades compreendidas entre os 12 e os 18 anos (M = 15,20, DP = 1,72). Foi utilizado o método translate – translate back na obtenção da versão na língua portuguesa. Para o estudo da validade convergente e divergente da CES-DC, foram utilizadas as ve...

Objective This study examined the prevalence and factors associated with depression among adolescents attending higher secondary schools in the Pokhara Metropolitan City of Nepal.

Design A cross-sectional study design was adopted.

Setting Four randomly selected higher secondary schools of Pokhara Metropolitan, Nepal.

Participants 312 randomly sampled higher secondary school students.

Methods The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale was used to assess the level of depression among students. The data collected through a self-administered questionnaire were analysed using descriptive statistical methods such as frequency and percentage. χ2 test and unadjusted OR (UOR) were calculated to assess the statistical relationship between depression and various variables at 95% CI, with level of significance at p<0.05.

Results The study found a high prevalence of depression among high school students, with more than two-fifths (44.2%) of students having depression. Furthermore, almost a quarter (25.3%) of the students were noted to have mild depression and 18.9% of the students expressed major depression. Students who had low perceived social support (UOR: 3.604; 95% CI 2.088 to 6.220), did not share their problems with anyone (UOR: 1.931; 95% CI 1.228 to 3.038) and had low self-esteem (UOR: 5.282; 95% CI 2.994 to 9.319) were at higher odds of being depressed.

Conclusion A high prevalence of depression was observed among high school students. It was also observed that students’ level of perceived social support, self-esteem and help-seeking behaviour are somehow related to their mental well-being. Hence, improving social support and self-esteem may alleviate depression and mental distress among these adolescents.

The present study was carried out to investigate the depression level among the undergraduate students and its comparison gender-wise and stream-wise. The study also explored the differences among male science and male art students; female science and female art students. The sample of the study consisted of 150 under-graduate students. “Mental Depression Scale” constructed and standardized by Beck was used to assess the depression of undergraduate students of South Kashmir. The findings of the study reveal that stream of study has an effect on the depression of female students not on male students. The data that has been collected by the investigator from the colleges were statistically analyzed by mean, standard deviation, and t-test

The present study was undertaken to investigate role stress among adolescents of employed and unemployed mothers. The sample of the study consisted of 200 adolescent students from both the private and public secondary schools of Amritsar, India. Equal number of students were taken from year level 9 and 11. Bisht Battery of Stress Scales (BBSS) was used to measure role stress among students. The analysis of the data revealed that no significant difference exists in the level of role stress among boys and girls of both employed and unemployed mothers, that is, level of role stress is independent of gender and employment status of mothers. The study fills the gap in the literature by underscores the usefulness of role theory for explaining role stress among adolescents of both employed and unemployed mothers. Furthermore, adolescents' role relationships should be the focus of intervention and prevention to promote their healthy psychosocial development. Findings are discussed in the light of previous literature. Theoretical and empirical implications of findings and directions for future research are also discussed.

The present study was undertaken to investigate the impact of role stress and vocational stress on Academic Achievement among Adolescent students. The sample of the study comprised of 200 students from the schools of Amritsar, equal number of students were taken from 9 th class and +1 class. Bisht Battery of Stress Scale was used to measure role stress and vocational stress among adolescent students. The analysis of the data revealed that there is a statistically significant impact exists of role stress and vocational stress on academic achievement among adolescent students i.e. level of academic achievement is dependent on the level of stress, whether role stress or vocational stress.

Treatment for depression is always a challenge. Treatments for depression include a combination of drugs and psychotherapy, or either drug or psychotherapy, depending on the underlying cause and degree. People with depression show symptoms such as irritability, fatigue, restlessness, and feelings of helplessness, guilt, worthlessness, and pessimism.

Dealing with anxiety and depression is a gigantic task as it involves the patience, courage, and strength of the same person suffering from the disease. It also involves resilience in dealing with the obstacles and pressures that prevent a person from overcoming depression.

Dhat syndrome is a condition in which the male patients suffer from premature ejaculation or impotence, and believe that they are passing semen in their urine. The prevalence rate is varying between 40-66% among Indian population. The patients with Dhat syndrome are experiencing the overlapping symptoms of other disorders such as depression, anxiety, and mood, and it can be hypothesized that they would respond to CBT and symptoms would be diminished. The effectiveness of CBT in the intervention of psychosexual dysfunction has been proved. Methodology: Aim of the study was to investigate the efficacy of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) in Dhat syndrome and co-morbid conditions. Pre-post research design was used to study the efficacy of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. Three outward male patients who diagnosed with Dhat syndrome were selected for the sample from GEMS Health Care, Hyderabad. The intervention was included with psycho-education, supportive psychotherapy and cognitive behaviour therapy with a duration of 4 months in 18 sessions and inform consents were taken from the patients. The cognitive behaviour therapy was compiled with activity scheduling, cognitive restructuring (thought challenging, role playing, positive statements, and behavioural rehearsal and relaxation therapy (JPMR). BDI-II, HAM-A and IIEF were used for pre-post assessment. Result: In CASE-1 on BDI-II he improved 71%, on HAM-A 47%, and on IIEF 61.2%. In CASE-2 on BDI-II he improved 53.8%, on HAM-A 57%, and on IIEF 69%. In CASE-3 on BDI-II he improved 73%, on HAM-A 42%, and on IIEF 61%. This study concluded that CBT techniques are very effective Dhat syndrome and co-morbid conditions.

When you are depressed, everything seems hard – if not downright impossible. This is the case with big questions as well as small, and no matter whether we are talking about your overall life and the reason you fell depressed or small everyday projects like shopping, gardening and the house. Other people you don’t got energy – or the desire – to be around either.

Depression is inactivity. So stay active, no matter whether you feel you are sliding into a depression, are already in it or are recovering from it.

Go see a friend. Do some volunteer work. Exercise. Go see a football match with your brother.

It is not so important what you do. As long as you just don´t sit at home alone all day long watching YouTube-videos and checking what other people are doing on Facebook.

I 2014 blev jeg deprimeret for første gang i mit liv. Jeg boede på det tidspunkt i Chiang Mai, i det nordlige Thailand, sammen med min burmesiske kone og vores to små piger.

Jeg havde boet i Thailand siden 2009. Det første 1½ år beskæftigede jeg mig med nødhjælpsarbejde i nabolandet Myanmar. Da min kæreste, på daværende tidspunkt, så blev gravid med vores første datter, begyndte jeg på en kandidat på et lokalt universitet.

Og det var da, jeg blev færdig med den uddannelse i 2013, at tingene begyndte at gå galt.

When you are depressed, you are at a very confusing stage of your life. You are fully aware that you are in a bad place. But at the same time, you have no idea how to get out of this place.

In this case, very often people choose to do nothing. This is understandable, because when you are depressed, you simply don’t know what to do.

But staying passive like this only helps the depression grow stronger. Makes it even more difficult for you to think clearly. And eventually to beat this illness and feeling better again.

So rather than doing nothing, the important thing is to simply do something – even though you are not sure that it is the right thing.

So reach out to somebody. Tell your mom or a friend what you are going through. Make an appointment with a therapist. Find help online. Or tell your teacher or boss that you are struggling at the moment.

Opening up like this to another human being will break your feeling of being isolated from the rest of the world. This will immediately make you feel a little bit better. Your moodiness will decrease. You will be more optimistic. And more able to think clearly.

El consumo de sustancias de abuso (tabaco, alcohol y marihuana) en adolescentes es un problema de salud pública. Muchos adolescentes que comienzan a consumir tempranamente lo seguirán haciendo durante adultos. Por otro lado, los trastornos depresivos suelen aparecer en la adolescencia, generando deterioros importantes en el desarrollo de los individuos. Finalmente, las conductas promotoras de salud suelen instalarse tempranamente en la vida de las personas y protegen para el desarrollo de futuras enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles. Determinar los factores relacionados a estos fenómenos puede ayudar a generar estrategias preventivas eficaces. Presentamos tres estudios en los cuales se explora la asociación entre factores escolares, en particular el vínculo escolar y sentido de pertenencia escolar, el consumo de tabaco, alcohol y marihuana, la presencia de conductas promotoras de salud, y la presencia de síntomas depresivas en adolescentes. El primer estudio (1) explora la asociac...

A key feature of depression is the internal monologue going on inside the depressed person´s head. When people are depressed, they spend a lot of time and energy on a daily basis telling themselves how crap their lives are, how much everything sucks and how much they hate it.

El bullying se manifiesta frecuentemente con importantes repercusiones
negativas en el desarrollo social, emocional y académico de los involucrados. Entre estas consecuencias se puede encontrar la depresión.
Se llevó a cabo una revisión de literatura con la finalidad de integrar los resultados que se han reportado acerca de la relación entre el bullying y
tener depresión, así como las variables que influyen en esta relación. Los estudios analizados aportan evidencia que confirma la presencia de depresión en adolescentes involucrados en situaciones de bullying, aunque esta no se manifiesta en todos los casos identificados, por lo que se sugiere realizar estudios longitudinales que proporcionen evidencia respecto a una posible relación de causalidad entre el bullying y la depresión.
