HISTORY• Ancient Egyptians wrote about depression more
than 3000 years ago• Ancient Greek thought depression as the cause of
excess of bile• Hippocrates, first person to throughly describe the
condition as a somatic illness and coin the term “melancholia”
• Ludwig Van Beethoven, Charles Dickens, Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln and Ernest Hemingway some famous people said to have suffered from depression

Facts and Statistics• People of all ages, backgrounds, lifestyles, and
nationalities suffer from major depression, with a few exceptions.
• Up to 20% of people experience symptoms of depression.
• The average age of first onset of major depression is 25-29
• Ranked as 4th highest public concern according to WHO and assumed to be 2nd by 2020

Major Depressive Disorder• Also called clinical depression or unipolar
depression• The most prevalent depressive disorder • Some 340 million persons worldwide meet the
criteria for clinical depression
![Page 8: Understanding depresssion](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102823/5452bd19af795907798b97bf/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Types • Classified further on the basis of occurrence
a. Single Episodeb. Recurrent
• Single episode - occurs only once and meets all the diagnostic symptoms of major depression
• If untreated, 85% of persons who have one episode of depression will have another episode within 10 years
• Recurrent-2 major depression episodes, separated by at least a 2 month period
• Median number of depressive episodes per person is 4
• 25% have 6 or more episodes

depression• Diagnostic Symptoms :
A. Depressed/irritable mood
B. Presence of two of the following:
• Appetite disturbance
• Sleep disturbance

GeneticsFamily Studies• first degree relatives of (children,siblings,parents) of depressed individuals are 1.5 to 3 times more likely to have depression compared to general population
Twin Studies •concordance rate of monozygotic twins ranges from 54-65% while in dizygotic twins in only 15-24
![Page 14: Understanding depresssion](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102823/5452bd19af795907798b97bf/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Biochemical Theories
• Monoamine Hypothesis• Neurotransmitter Dysregulation Hypothesis
• Neuroendocrine Findings
![Page 15: Understanding depresssion](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102823/5452bd19af795907798b97bf/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Monoamine Hypothesis• Depletion in the levels of serotonin, norepinephrine,
and/or dopamine in the CNS.
• Norepinephrine regarded as the component in the mobilization of the body toy deal with stressful event.
• Serotonin System- mood and arousal thinking,energy, libido, cognition,appetite,aggression and circadian rhythm.
• Dopamine System -human mood and behavior.
• Decreased level of biogenic amines in synaptic cleft inhibits the transmission of impulses from one neuron to another causing a failure of the cells to fire or charge.
• Pathophysiology supported by the mechanism of action of antidepressants and autopsy of depressed person

Monoamine HypothesisLimitations• Delayed onset of drug• Not all the depressed patient have decreased synaptic concentration of of biogenic amines• antidepressant can work via other mechanisms which do not involve reactive increased in synaptic neuro-transmitter concentration (eg. can block corticotropin releasing factor)
![Page 19: Understanding depresssion](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102823/5452bd19af795907798b97bf/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Neurotransmitter Dysregulation Hypothesis• Explains depression as the cause of failure of
regulation of neurotransmission system
Factors - Impairment in homeostasis or regulation- Disruption of normal periodicity ( Circadian rhythm )
- less selective response to stimuli
![Page 20: Understanding depresssion](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102823/5452bd19af795907798b97bf/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Neuroendocrine Findings• Neuroendocrine abnormalities may develop
depression• Abnormal thyroid function test including low
triiodothronine(T3) and thyroxine(T4)• Abnormal response to TRH(thyroid releasing
hormone) consisting or blunted or exaggerated thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)
• Clinical hypoparathyroidism • HPA axis influence manifestation of depression• Concentrations of CRF is elevated during
depressive episodes• Decreased hippocampus

Psychological Theories
• Psychoanalytical Theory• Learning Theories• Object Loss theory• Cognitive Theory
![Page 23: Understanding depresssion](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102823/5452bd19af795907798b97bf/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Psychoanalytical Theory• Sigmund Freud features of melancholia
– a profoundly painful dejection– loss of interest in world – loss of capacity to love
• Interpretation of melancholia– actual loss of loved one or emotional rejection – feelings of self-hatred develop and worthlessness and losses his or her self-esteem
![Page 24: Understanding depresssion](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102823/5452bd19af795907798b97bf/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Learning Theory• Seligman’s “learned helplessness” experiment on
dogs• Helplessness in human with numerous traumatic
situations either real or perceived• Seligman’s interpretation of depression
–Learned helplessness predisposes depression by imposing a feeling of lack of control and hopelessness over their life situation and failures
![Page 25: Understanding depresssion](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102823/5452bd19af795907798b97bf/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Object Loss Theory (Attachment Theory)• Attachment theory by John Bowlby, English
psychiatrist,• Relationship between depressive disorder in
adulthood and the quality of the earlier bond between the infant and their adult caregiver.
• The experiences of early loss, separation and rejection by the parent or caregiver
• Absence of security and emotional absence

Cognitive Theory• Put-forth by Aaron Beck• 3 cognitive distortion reality• Negative expectation
– Environment– Self– Future
• Contrary view
![Page 27: Understanding depresssion](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102823/5452bd19af795907798b97bf/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Social Theory• Family
–Problems with family–Family stress
• Social–Substantial life events–Social isolation
![Page 28: Understanding depresssion](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102823/5452bd19af795907798b97bf/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Diagnosis

Clinical Assessment• By Clinician,trained medical practitioner,
psychiatrist or psychologist• Mental state assessment – appearance, behavior speech, mood, memory,
and intellectual function• Physical Examination– palpitation in neck, laboratory tests ( TSH,
thyroxine, testosterone level)• Other bodily changes
![Page 30: Understanding depresssion](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102823/5452bd19af795907798b97bf/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Behavioral Rating Scales• Set of questionnaire for depression assessment •Uses
– Screening mental state – Quantifying target symptoms– Determine treatment efficacy
•Clinically preferred– Hamilton Rating Scales for Depression (HRS-D)– Montgomery-Asberg Rating Depression Rating Scale
–National Institute of Mental Health Diagnostic Interview Schedule (DIS)
![Page 31: Understanding depresssion](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102823/5452bd19af795907798b97bf/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
DSM-IV Criteria and ICD-10 Criteria• DSM-IV
– American Psychiatric Association's revised fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR)
• ICD-10– World Health Organization's
International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10)

Psychotherapy• Interpersonal therapy:
–assist in solving relationship problems that cause depression
• Cognitive-behavioral therapy:– changes the pessimistic ideas and unrealistic expectations
–develop positive life goals, and a more positive self-assessment
![Page 34: Understanding depresssion](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102823/5452bd19af795907798b97bf/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Electroconvulsive TherapyHow is it done?•Pulses of electricity are sent through the brain via two electrodes•Painless procedure•A person is put to sleep with general anesthesia•Muscle relaxers are used to prevent any injury from the procedureAdvantages•Quicker effect than antidepressant therapy and thus may be the treatment of choice in several emergency occasions
![Page 35: Understanding depresssion](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102823/5452bd19af795907798b97bf/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Pharmacotherapy• Use of antidepressants • Selective serotonin-reuptake
inhibitors (SSRIs) like fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline, fluvoxamine, citalopram
• Tricyclic Antidepressants(TCAs) like amitriptyline,
• Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs)
