Filter by:Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a chronic disease with a prevalence around 8-12% and is considered one of the most debilitating disease worldwide. A recent orientation is the analysis of language in relation to the description of images with a high and varied semantic and emotional content. It can be studied that changes in the description of an image check if these changes are associated with the evolution of a person with probable impairment both in memory and cognitive as well as emotional, psychiatric, behavioral and even in their interaction with environmental factors especially those associated with socialization and loneliness. The present study has the objective of validating Accexible as a tool for Screening and Monitoring Depression.
Major depressive disorder (MDD) exhibit reduced visual motor perception, which affects prognosis. Metabolic substance changes and abnormal neural activity in the middle temporal visual area (MT) mediate this perceptual dysfunction. The main questions are: •there is no conclusive evidence of impairment of visual motion suppression in treatment-resistant depression (TRD); •it is unknown that functional abnormalities in the MT of TRD patients mediate possible changes in visual perception •lack of treatment for deficit in visual motor perception; •mechanisms behind the intervention process need to be explored. The goal of this clinical trial is to understand the function of visual motor perception in TRD, to validate the effect of the MT on visual motion perception and to explore the effectiveness of the intervention as well as the neurophysiological mechanisms. This study was planned to •explore any differences in visual motor perception and function of MT between TRD and healthy controls; •analyze the influence of neurobiological changes in MT and related brain regions on visual motion perception; •investigate the effects of rTMS intervention in MT for treatment of impaired visual perception function in TRD; •studying potential therapeutic mechanisms by PET/MRI imaging. Participants will divide into TRD group and HC group. Clinical symptoms, scales, visual perception suppression index, PET/MRI, electrophysiology and other clinical data were collected at baseline for both two groups. TRD group received high-frequency rTMS stimulation targeting the MT. Besides, psychological scales, visual suppression index, PET/MRI, electrophysiology and other clinical data were collected during the intervention and after treatment. The researchers will •compare the differences in visual perceptual function and neurobiological characteristics between the TRD group and the HC group in baseline; •analyze the impact of MT and related brain regions in visual motion perception; •compare the suppression index before and after intervention in TRD to discuss the feasibility of rTMS stimulation targeting the MT to improve visual motion perception abnormalities；•utilize the changes in clinical data of PET/MRI and electrophysiology before and after the treatment of TRD group to explore the possible underlying mechanisms during the treatment process.
This study will attempt to use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to take a picture of the brain to learn about changes that occur in the brain during Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in people receiving this treatment for depression.
This observational study aims to estimate the prevalence of women from 1 to 4 years postpartum in Yvelines, who are suspected to suffer from postpartum depression, using the Edinburg Post natal Depression Scale (EPDS) and the Patient Heath Questionnaire 2 (PHQ2) and evaluate the factors that could be linked to it.
Effective pharmacological and psychological treatments for depression are available. However, treatment modalities are not accessible to all patients diagnosed with depression. Furthermore, some individuals who access treatment drop out and relapse after treatment. Improving treatment modalities for depression is important given the rates of individuals diagnosed worldwide, and rather than developing new treatments, there is a need to explore how existing treatment modalities can be improved and implemented in a simpler and more cost-effective way. To address this need, Metacognitive Training for Depression (DMCT) was developed as a low-cost, easy-to-implement, cognitive behavioral therapy-based group intervention. The aim of Metacognitive Training is to reduce depressive symptoms by working with the patient's cognitive biases from a metacognitive perspective. The effectiveness of this method, which has been proven effective by studies in the literature, is presented with a pilot study on older adults in 2018. Since the studies evaluating the effectiveness of the Metacognitive Training-Silver program are limited and it has not yet been adapted to Turkish culture, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Metacognitive Training-Silver program in older adults diagnosed with depression.
The purpose of this study is to administer the Unified Protocols for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children (UP-C) and Adolescents (UP-A) to youth and participants' parents and to examine the efficacy and outcomes of the treatment using standardized measures, questionnaires, interviews. The UP-C and the UP-A are cognitive-behavioral therapies to treat emotional disorders.
A study aimed to assess the efficacy of the various approaches to prescribing Ketamine currently in use off-label. The focus will be to include ketamine within the study plan of those with chronic conditions who are receiving ketamine.
This is a prevention intervention study that will examine the efficacy of a smartphone-based intervention in decreasing cancer risk by targeting mental health risk factors of anxiety and depression.
This protocol is a feasibility study of an integrated primary care pathway for patients suffering from difficult-to-treat depression. 50 patients will be recruited and followed for two years.
With this study the investigators aim to examine through a mixed method study the feasibility, usability and satisfaction with the developed online tool for perinatal mental health problems. This will be done through a pre- and post measurement of depressive and anxiety symptoms and the use of the tool itself. In addition, a qualitative thematic analysis will be conducted on the clarity, understandability and user-friendliness of the tool.
