Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying

900
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross significantly advanced psychology's understanding of the process of dying with her influential book, On Death and Dying (1969). She focused on studying terminally ill individuals and outlined five stages commonly experienced when coping with death: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
In denial, individuals reject the reality of their condition, often thinking, "This isn't true; I feel fine," as a way to protect themselves from...

Depressive Disorders: MDD and Dysthymia

471
Depressive disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by pervasive feelings of sadness, diminished pleasure in life, and a significant impact on daily functioning. These conditions are most prevalent in individuals during their 30s and affect women at twice the rate of men. Contrary to popular belief, younger individuals are generally more susceptible to these disorders than older adults. Two key types of depressive disorders include Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and...

Depressive Disorders: Etiology

359
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...

Depression: Overview

673
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,...

Long-term Depression

32.9K
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.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Suicide is a leading cause of death for US youth.
  • Depressed mood is a known risk factor for suicidal behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine characteristics and circumstances of youth suicides.
  • To compare decedents with and without depressed mood.
  • To explore sex-specific differences in depressed youth suicides.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) data (2003-2012).
  • Inclusion of 4,053 suicide decedents aged 10-19 years.
  • Logistic regression to compare groups and explore sex differences.

Main Results:

  • Youth with depressed mood showed more clinical characteristics and precipitating circumstances linked to suicide.
  • Unique sex-specific differences were observed in depressed youth.

Conclusions:

  • A significant association exists between depressed mood and suicide risk factors in youth.
  • Findings highlight potential targets for suicide prevention efforts.
  • Further research is needed to refine prevention strategies.
