- 5% Depression more than 2 years
- Twice as common in women as in men
- Three times as common among people in poverty
Depression: Prevalence across cultures
*Prevalence varies across cultures
-MDD: 6.5% in China, 21% in France
(Cultural factors play an important role in depression rates)
(there are big differences in countries)
Epidemiology and Consequences of Depression: Co-morbidity
Co-morbidity
- 5-30% with MDD experience PDD
- 60% of those with MDD will also meet criteria for anxiety disorder at some point
Epidemiology and Consequences of Depression: Symptoms across cultures
- Symptoms vary across cultures
- Focus on somatic symptoms (e.g., pain, fatigue)
- –Ethnic minorities in the US
- –People from Latin America and some Asian countries
Epidemiology and Consequences of Depression: Age of onset
- Early 20s (This is the time for most people)
* Decreased over past 50 years
Generation change for MDD
With Each Generation, The Median Age Of Onset For MDD Gets Younger
T or F : Depressive episode required for Bipolar I, but not Bipolar II
FALSE
Depressive episode required for Bipolar II, but not Bipolar I
Mania
State of intense elation, irritability, or activation
-Severity and duration of mania defining feature of each: Bipolar I, Bipolar II, Cyclothymia
Hypomania
(hypo = “under”)
Symptoms of mania but less intense
Does not involve significant impairment
Might think will think getting a noble peace prize = hypomania but people with regular mania they they are Jesus

*Symptoms are present most of the day, nearly every day
*For a manic episode
vs For a hypomanic episode
-manic : Symptoms last at least 1 week, require hospitalization, or include psychosis

(“needs to be clinically significant” = requires treatments)
Epidemiology and Consequences of Bipolar Disorder
-gender differences
*Prevalence rates lower than MDD
*Average age of onset in 20s
*No gender differences in rates of bipolar disorders
(Women experience more depressive episodes)
*Severe mental illness
Epidemiology and Consequences of Bipolar Disorder: Prevalence rates
*Prevalence rates lower than MDD

(A little bit higher compared to depression)
*One in four report suicide attempt : More than half report suicidal ideation in past 12 months
Factors contributing to the onset of mood disorders
Genetic factors Neurotransmitters Brain function Neuroendocrine System Social factors Psychological factors
Etiology of Mood Disorders: Genetic Factors
*Heritability estimates
37% MDD vs 93% Bipolar Disorder (VERY HIGH )
- Unlikely one gene explains these illnesses : More likely Gene x Environment Interaction
- How a gene might increase risk in presence of environmental risk factor
- Serotonin transporter gene (5-HTT) polymorphism
- Short allele combination of the 5-HTT gene and childhood maltreatment or adulthood stressful life events increases risk of MDD
How much does heritability play a role for MDD vs Bipolar Disorder
(Etiology of Mood Disorders: Genetic Factors)
*Heritability estimates
37% MDD vs 93% Bipolar Disorder (VERY HIGH )
gene to predict depression and stress
Stressful life events interact with serotonin transporter gene to predict depression
Short / short allele = more depression
long/long allele= lower depression
(above 1 stressful life events)
Etiology of Mood Disorders: Neurotransmitters (NTs)
*Norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin 37% MDD
(Big one for treatments are serotonin and norepinephrine)
*Original models focused on absolute levels of NTs
*New models focus on sensitivity of postsynaptic receptors
-Stress may lead to changes in sensitivity of serotonin receptors
-Dopamine plays a major role in the reward system
-Dopamine dysfunction may be connected to specific symptoms (e.g., changes in energy and motivation)
-Dopamine receptors may be overly sensitive in BD but lack sensitivity in MDD
Etiology of Mood Disorders: Brain Function
*Oversensitivity to emotional stimuli (elevated amygdala)
(Amygdala is main thing want to talk about in regards to emotion)
*Interference with emotion regulation (elevated anterior cingulate, diminished prefrontal cortex and hippocampus)
*Motivation to pursue rewards (striatum)
*Disruptions in the connectivity of these regions

- Most of the day
- For at least 2 weeks
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
-types / classifications (i think)
- Episodic: Symptoms tend to dissipate over time
- Recurrent
- Once depression occurs, future episodes likely
- Among people with a first depressive episode : 15% report persistent depressive symptoms and Half report at least one additional episode
-Among people with a first depressive episode : _% report persistent depressive symptoms and _ report at least one additional episode
-Among people with a first depressive episode : 15% report persistent depressive symptoms and Half report at least one additional episode
DSM-5 Criteria for Manic and Hypomanic Episodes: symptoms
- Distinctly elevated or irritable mood

- PLUS 3 other symptoms (four if mood is irritable):
Epidemiology and Consequences of Bipolar Disorder: gender
*No gender differences in rates of bipolar disorders
Women experience more depressive episodes
- Serotonin transporter gene (5-HTT) polymorphism
- Short allele combination of the 5-HTT gene and childhood maltreatment or adulthood stressful life events increases risk of ____
MDD
Stressful life events interact with ______ gene to predict depression
Figure 5.2 Stressful life events interact with serotonin transporter gene to predict depression
striatum
*Motivation to pursue rewards (striatum)
Etiology of Mood Disorders: Neuroendocrine System
*Overactivity of HPA axis
Amygdala activates HPA axis, which releases cortisol
Cortisol, stress hormone, increases activity of immune system to prepare for threat
Prolonged high cortisol levels can cause harm to body systems
Damage to hippocampus
More severe course of illness for MDD and BD
Etiology of Mood Disorders: Social Factors in Depression
*Life events
*Interpersonal difficulties
High levels of expressed emotion predict relapse
Marital conflict also predicts depression
Etiology of Mood Disorders: Social Factors in Depression - *Life events
42-67% report a stressful life event in year prior to depression
40% risk of developing depression when experiencing stressful life event without support (4% risk with support)
Etiology of Mood Disorders: Psychological Factors in Depression
- Neuroticism
- Cognitive Theories
- Beck’s Theory
*Hopelessness Theory
Most important trigger of depression is hopelessness
Desirable outcomes will not occur
Person has no ability to change situation
Attributional Style
Negative life events are due to stable and global causes
*Neuroticism
Etiology of Mood Disorders: Psychological Factors in Depression
*Tendency to experience frequent and intense negative affect
Predicts onset of anxiety, which is highly comorbid with depression
- Beck’s Theory
- -Etiology of Mood Disorders: Psychological Factors in Depression
Negative triad
Negative view of self, world, future
Negative schema
Underlying tendency to see the world negatively
Cognitive biases
Tendency to process information in negative ways due to negative schema
Beck’s theory of depression
negative triad –> cognitive bias –> negative schema –> (back to) negative triad
(this is a bidirectional circle)
negative triad –> depression
Etiology of Mood Disorders: Psychological Factors in Depression : Cognitive theories
Negative thoughts and beliefs cause depression
Beck’s Theory, Hopelessness Theory, Rumination Theory
Changing the negative thoughts
contributes to hopelessness: stable vs unstable vs global vs specific
global + stable –> hopelessness
Rumination Theory
Etiology of Mood Disorders: Psychological Factors in Depression : an example of cognitive theory
A specific way of thinking: tendency to repetitively dwell on sad thoughts
Most detrimental form is to brood regretfully over causes of events
Social and Psychological Factors in Bipolar Disorder
- Negative life events, neuroticism, negative cognitions, expressed emotion, and lack of social support
- Triggers of depressive episodes in BD appear similar to triggers in MDD
*Predictors of mania
-Reward sensitivity
–High responsively to rewards
–Life events that involve attaining goals
–Excessive goal pursuit
(Related to dopamine in the system)
-Sleep disruption
*Predictors of mania
*Reward sensitivity
–High responsively to rewards
–Life events that involve attaining goals
–Excessive goal pursuit
(Related to dopamine in the system)

STAR-D (Rush et al., 2006)
Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression
- Attempted to evaluate effectiveness of antidepressants in real-world settings (comorbid psychiatric conditions)
- Only 33% achieved full symptom relief with citalopram
- About 30% of non-responders achieved remission with a different anti-depressant
- Remission rates were low and relapse rates were high
Combining psychotherapy and antidepressant
- Combining psychotherapy and antidepressant medications increases odds of recovery over either alone by 10-20%
- Medications quicker, therapy longer-lasting effects
Later studies (Hollon & DeRubeis, 2003)
CT as effective as medication for severe depression
CT more effective than medication at preventing relapse
Other mood stabilizers besides lithium
Anticonvulsants
Divalproex (Depakote)
Antipsychotics (offer immediate calming effect)
Olanzapine (Zyprexa)
Recommended if people are unable to tolerate lithium side effects
Can be combined with lithium
Antidepressants and Bipolar
Often, when depression presents initially, patients are put on antidepressants and they switch quickly to a manic episode due to the antidepressant.
Suicide ideation:
thoughts of killing oneself
Suicide attempt:
behavior intended to kill oneself
Suicide:
death from deliberate self-injury
Non-suicidal self-injury
: behaviors intended to injure oneself without intent to cause death

Epidemiology of Suicide and Suicide Attempts
10th leading cause of death in US
Worldwide: 9% report suicidal ideation at least once in their lives and 2.5% have made at least one suicide attempt
Guns are the most common means of suicide in the US (50%)
It is the most effective (other ways can be corrected)
Men are more likely than women to kill themselves
Women are more likely than men are to make suicide attempts that do not result in death
Men usually shoot or hang themselves
Women more likely to use less lethal means (like a drug overdose)
*The highest rates of suicide in the United States are for white males over age 50
The rates of suicide for adolescents and children in the United States are increasing dramatically
Being divorced or widowed elevates suicide risk four- or fivefold
in regards to suicide and gender
Men succeed more but women attempt more !
At what age is suicide most likely for both male and femal
45-54
Risk Factors for Suicide
*Psychological Disorders
*Neurobiological Models Heritability of about 50% for suicide attempts Low levels of dopamine Abnormal cortisol regulation *Social Factors
Perceived sense of burden to others and a lack of social belonging *Psychological Models Ineffective problem-solving Hopelessness : no feeling of meaning Impulsivity
relationship between psychological disorders and suicide
*Psychological Disorders
90% of people who attempt suicide have a psychological disorder
More than half of those who attempt suicide are depressed

Social factors relationship to suicide
Economic recessions ( a big one, example the great depression)
Media reports of suicide – Causation? (or correlation)
History of multiple physical and sexual assaults
Suicide and medication
Once started on medication during an episode of depression, suicide risk goes up initially.
Black box warning for adolescents.
(Thus there is a debate about whether should describe for adolescent- now it is very difficult to prescribe for adolescents- now do it in a controlled setting)
suicide notes
Often very impersonal (not addressed to a specific person)
Usually a list of things to be done following the person’s death
Rarely goes into detail about motivations
Preventing Suicide
Talk about suicide openly and matter-of-factly
Most people are ambivalent about their suicidal intentions
Talking about suicide can help the person identify other ways to relieve the pain
(A problem with problem solving : what are some other options?)
Treat the associated mental health disorder
Treat suicidality directly
Hospitalization for safety
3 ways that can be hopsilized involuntarily: suicide is one of them (missed the other 2)
Suicide Hotlines on Bridges
- putting more fencing on bridges
- people who patrol the bridge
Broader Approaches to Suicide Prevention
*Studying suicide prevention within the military

Programing to encourage and destigmatize help seeking, normalize distress, and promote effective coping
*Means Restriction
Make highly lethal methods less available
Keep guns in locked cabinets
Restrict access to lethal drugs
The goal of panic control therapy for panic disorder is to help clients
view their symptoms as harmless and controllable.
