Life depression at a later age due to its devastating effects is an important area of public health research. The elderly life depression linked with morbidity, deteriorating physical health, likelihood of suicide attempts and social cognitive functioning. All of which, in turn, are linked to increased life loss [1,2]. Depression tends to be less common in older adults than in earlier lifespan. All aspects of the older adult’s lifetime condition are risk, protective factors, health, etiology, and outcomes. The impact of depression on older people is entirely different from younger people. However Effective treatment of older adults with depression, it often occurs with other medical illnesses and disabilities and it doubles an elderly person’s risk of cardiac problems and increases their risk of death from this illness [3]. Many research studies shown that the presence of depression increases the chances of death and depression reduces an elderly person’s ability to recover. This paper will explore an overview of the psychological theories, factors related to risk, prevention and late life treatment of depression. The possible cause of late depression is an individual’s response with experiences during losses of loved ones and stressful life events [4]. Review ARTicle

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is one of the most common psychiatric illnesses. The effect of depression on one’s physical health is well-known, which can include anything from weight gain or loss to chronic illnesses such as heart disease, kidney or gastrointestinal problems. Provided the increasing prevalence of patients suffering from End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) and receiving dialysis treatment, it is important to investigate how MDD affects the outcome of their treatment. The incidence of depression in dialysis patients ranges from 10% to 66% in various studies, with prevalence reaching as high as 100%. The purpose of this article is to find the prevalence and severity of major depressive disorder in dialysis patients as well as to describe the possible pathways MDD worsens the dialysis outcome. Our study population consisted of 51 End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients sampled from the Department of Nephrology at BIRDEM General Hospital. Neurocognitive, physical symptoms, the severity of MDD and presence of comorbid conditions including diabetics and hypertension, were measured in our study. The ESRD patient sample consisted 47.7% moderately depressed patients, 34% severely depressed, 11.4% mild and 6.8% with minimal MDD patients. Analogous to Hypertension and Diabetic patients with depression, the number of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients with mostly moderate severe depression increased with the duration of the disease. The article explains a myriad of biologic, behavioral, genetic and social factors underlying the association of depression and adverse medical outcomes in patients with CKD and ESRD. Moreover, neuroimaging data is analyzed to further discuss the relationship between Depression and CKD. The implication of this study is to emphasize the importance of dialysis patients’ overall health and to serve as a building block for further research into depression in dialysis patients.

Along with dietary intake, nutrition can also be obtained from nutrient supplements. They are widely used in the general population and their market is growing. It has been assumed adequate intake of them contributes to better overall mental health. This review explores studies regarding the role of different nutrients in treatment of depression. After searching among them we found Testosterone, Omega 3 fatty acid, Thyroid hormones, Modafinil, Folate, Vitamin B12, S-Adenosyl Methionine (SAMe), Magnesium, and Zinc as supplements which has some effect in combination with anti-depressant medications. They have advantages and also some disadvantages. In this review paper, we have taken a look at each of these agents individually and mentioned their current status in the treatment of depression.

Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is associated with depression, anxiety and stress, which are the commonest disorders resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. There is paucity of information regarding the association between depression, anxiety, and stress and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the present setup. This comparative cross-sectional study was designed to determine the magnitude of Depression, Anxiety and Stress and associated factors among COPD patients. Methods: Sixty five COPD patients and equal number of age and sex matched healthy individuals were included in the study. The study was conducted at Jimma University Specialized Hospital JUSH), from March 01 to April 30/2016. Spirometric assessment was done to evaluate severity of COPD. Depression, anxiety and stress scale (DASS 21) was used for the assessment of severity of depression, anxiety and stress. Chi-square test, independent t-test, Fisher’s exact test, one way ANOVA and linear regression were carried out to determine the association between independent and outcome variables and variables with p<0.05 were considered as significant. Results: Statistically significant difference between COPD patient and healthy controls was recorded on the prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress (47.7%, 49.2 %, and 56.9% respectively, p< 0.001). Depression score was significantly associated with severity of COPD (p<0.01). Duration of hospital admission was a common positive predictor for depression, anxiety and stress scores (β =0.156, 0.144 and 0.123 respectively, p<0.001), while FEV1 was a negative predictor of depression (β =-4.209) and stress score (β =-3.003), p <0.001. Higher educational level was a negative predictor of depression (β=-7.100) and anxiety scores (β = -5.15, p<0.05). Income was a negative predictor of stress score (β = -0.002, p <0.05). Cigarette smoking was a positive predictor of both depression (β=13.39, p<0.01) and anxiety scores (β=6.75, p <0.05), while khat chewing was positive predictor of only depression score (β=5.28, p<0.05). Conclusion: The present study showed that the prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress among COPD patients were significantly high. Educational status, duration of admission, FEV1, current khat chewing and cigarette smoking were predictors of depression score. At the same time educational status, cigarette smoking, history and duration of admission were predictors of anxiety score. The severity of depression, anxiety and stress was correlated with the severity of COPD. Therefore, appropriate intervention should be given by the concerned body to treat DAS among COPD patients.

Background: The purpose of the study was to present secondary data analyses of an 8-week randomized controlled trial to: 1) Determine the effects of a meditation app on depression and anxiety in adults with sleep disturbance and 2) Explore the potential mediating effect of fatigue and daytime sleepiness on the relationship between use of the app and depression and anxiety. Methods: Depression, anxiety, fatigue, and daytime sleepiness were assessed at baseline, mid-, and post-intervention in the intervention and waitlist control group. Repeated-measures ANCOVAs assessed intervention effects on depression and anxiety. Mediation models, using the PROCESS macro, were estimated using 5000 bootstrap samples. Per-protocol and intent-to-treat (ITT) analyses were conducted. Results: Intervention group participants (N=239) had more improvements in depression and anxiety as compared to the control group. Fatigue and daytime sleepiness fully mediated the association between study group and improvements in depression. Fatigue and daytime sleepiness partially meditated the association between study group and improvements in anxiety. Conclusions: A meditation app may improve depression and anxiety in adults with sleep disturbance with effects being driven by improvements in fatigue and daytime sleepiness. Future studies should consider targeting fatigue and daytime sleepiness to improve mental health in adults with sleep disturbance.

Background: Cognitive deficits are a central feature of schizophrenia and occur in high-risk relatives of the patients. Aim: We aimed to investigate whether children at-risk for schizophrenia also present neurocognitive deficits that are commonly observed in patients with schizophrenia. Settings and Design: In a cross-sectional study, we assessed neurocognitive functioning in 15 at–risk children of schizophrenia patients with an equal number of healthy controls. Materials and Methods: Offspring at-risk were compared with the control group on the measures of intelligence, verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, processing speed (assessed with Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children – Fourth (India Edition), verbal working memory (Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test) and executive function (Maze test). Results: Participants in the study group obtained significantly lesser scores, compared to those in the control group, on all neurocognitive measures including verbal comprehension, working memory, processing speed and verbal working memory except for perceptual reasoning and executive function. Conclusion: High-risk children had lower than average IQ and performed poorly on several neuropsychological measures in contrast to children in the control group.

Background: Depressions in person with physical disabilities are three times more common than in the general population. In Ethiopia, there are an estimated 15 million persons with disabilities. Despite the high burden of disability, very little is known about it; for this reason, the current study aimed at determining the magnitude of depression and its associated factors among adults with a physical disability. Methods: The study is a cross-sectional type conducted on individuals with a physical disability registered in Gondar physical disability’s rehabilitation and vocational center. All individuals with a physical disability attending the rehabilitation center were enrolled in the study. Face to face interview technique was used to evaluate the existence of depression and its determinants. In this study, the Beck Depression Inventory scale II was used to assess the status of depression. A multivariate logistic regression model was employed to see the strength, as well as the direction of the association between Depression and independent variables. Results: The study found that the frequency of depression was determined as 75.5%. Having a perceived internal stigma 5.03 (AOR=5.03 (95% CI: 2.30, 9.99), Poor social support (5.36 (AOR=5.36 (95% CI: 2.41, 10.8) and those who consume alcohol (2.77 (AOR=2.77 (1.24, 6.17) were associated likely to have depression.
