Long-term Depression01:05

Long-term Depression

33.8K
Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Depression: Overview

1.2K
Depression is a prevalent mental illness marked by persistent sadness and lack of interest in previously enjoyable activities. It can take several forms, including major depression, persistent depressive disorder, and bipolar I and II disorders. Symptoms range from emotional changes like chronic worry to physical changes like sleep disturbances and suicidal thoughts. From a neurobiological perspective, depression is believed to be triggered by abnormalities in the brain's prefrontal cortex,...

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)

1.7K
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) serves as the primary classification system for mental health disorders, providing standardized diagnostic criteria for clinicians and researchers. First published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in 1952, the DSM has undergone several revisions to reflect evolving psychiatric understanding. The fifth edition, DSM-5, released in 2013, introduced key updates that expanded diagnostic categories and modified diagnostic...

Depressive Disorders: Etiology

863
Depressive disorders result from a complex interplay of biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors, each contributing uniquely to the development and persistence of the condition. Understanding these factors provides critical insight into the multifaceted nature of depression.
Biological Factors in Depression
Biological predispositions significantly influence the risk of developing depressive disorders. Genetic studies highlight the role of variations in the serotonin transporter...

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Psychology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Pathological gambling is frequently associated with high levels of depression.
  • Depression negatively impacts treatment outcomes for gambling disorder.
  • Limited research exists on depression trajectories within residential gambling treatment settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the course of depressive symptoms in adults undergoing residential treatment for gambling disorder.
  • To examine changes in depression levels over an eight-week period in a residential program.
  • To identify potential factors contributing to symptom reduction during treatment.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 44 adults in a Western US residential gambling program participated.
  • Participants completed the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) weekly for eight weeks.
  • Depression levels were categorized into no/minimal, mild/moderate, and severe groups.

Main Results:

  • A mixed-model analysis revealed significant effects for group, time, and their interaction.
  • Depression scores decreased significantly over time for both mild/moderate and severely depressed groups.
  • The rate of decrease in depression was similar between the two symptomatic groups, with no change in the non-depressed group.

Conclusions:

  • Residential treatment appears effective in reducing depressive symptoms among individuals with gambling disorder.
  • Improvements may be linked to increased self-efficacy, environmental stabilization, and therapeutic interventions.
  • Findings highlight the importance of stabilization, insight, self-efficacy, and termination processes in residential care.
