Filter by:The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a two-hour online training course on depression and mental health in childhood and adolescence in educational professionals to improve depression and mental health literacy. It will further be investigated whether the course leads to changes in attitudes towards the illness (reduction of stigma) and to an increased behavioural confidence and behavioral change in dealing with pupils with symptoms and illnesses.
This study will focus on the hypothesis that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) based on EEG personalized modulation may be more effective in promoting symptomatic relief of major depressive disorder (MDD), and will rely on the platform of neuroimaging and function brain imaging of Shanghai Mental Health Center (SMHC), an authoritative institution in the field of mental health. We will eventually facilitate optimization of physical therapy for major depressive disorder (MDD).
The Investigators propose to carry out a randomized, double-blind trial to compare the clinical efficacy of an individualized connectome-guided accelerated iTBS vs an anatomically-guided (Beam F3) accelerated iTBS. The study team will recruit both inpatients and outpatients who had been referred for TMS for the treatment of depression.
The goal of this randomised controlled trial is to enhance the Friendship Bench intervention with antidepressants in adults with moderate to severe depression. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is the combination of the Friendship Bench with nurse-led antidepressants prescribing superior to the Friendship Bench alone? 2. What are the barriers and enablers for the prescription of antidepressants by non-specialists in primary care? Type of study: Randomized controlled superiority trial Participants will be randomly selected and allocated into the control arm or intervention arm. Participants in the control arm will receive six sessions of the Friendship Bench Problem Solving Therapy while those in the intervention arm will receive the Friendship Bench intervention plus Fluoxetine (Sertraline for breastfeeding women).
Depression and anxiety are the most prevalent mental disorders among both the general population and young adults, and transdiagnostic treatments for these patients are mostly based on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Based on common (transdiagnostic) principles of treatment (e.g., emotional exposure), these approaches have proliferated and demonstrated their efficacy in comparison to disorder-specific treatments. Although there are a few transdiagnostic approaches for children and adolescents, we could not find anyone targeting young people. For this reason, we propose the Identity-Based Transdiagnostic Therapy (IBTT) as a new treatment modality ideally created to address the challenge of improving the outcomes of psychotherapy for young adults with anxiety and/or depression. The IBTT is a psychological treatment for emotional disorders specifically designed for the youths in terms of their attitudes to treatment (attractiveness, engagement), and highly personalized to their construal of self and others. This project will allow testing the hypothesis that a novel brief psychotherapeutic intervention, IBTT, will be more efficacious in the treatment of the anxiety and/or depression of young adults than the well-established CBT-based Unified Protocol.
In this study, pregnant women were screened and managed for depression in three time windows: early pregnancy, mid-pregnancy, and late pregnancy. Pregnant women who screened positive for depression during pregnancy were dynamically enrolled in the study and stratified into randomized groups based on gestation period (early/mid/late) and randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups on a 1:1 basis. Pregnant women in the intervention group attended a three-week "mental fitness boot camp" and were assessed at 3 weeks, and if they still screened positive for depression, they were offered 4 times one-on-one counseling sessions by the obstetrician. The control group received routine care.
This study will explore the specific response characteristics of the niacin skin response test in the population with depressive disorder malinger. The investigators expect that depressive disorder malinger can be discriminated by the niacin skin reaction test.
Objectives of Study： Through the cross-sectional study of stroke and depression, key biomarkers are targeted by screening disease-associated intestinal bacteria, metabolites and immune factors through multi-omics techniques.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of performing psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy in patients hospitalized for treatment-resistant depression.
Although birth has a great place in a woman's life, factors such as the woman's education level, personal experiences, social support status, whether the pregnancy is planned or not, the family's attitude towards pregnancy, and socioeconomic status increase the burden of pregnancy and can create a stressful situation for the woman. While the pain that may be experienced during birth, thoughts about the baby's health and postpartum baby care further increase this fear, primiparous women who will give birth for the first time experience many emotions that they cannot define and cannot predict the situations they will encounter during birth. The most important situation that will cause pain during birth is fear. So much so that fear of birth may cause women to avoid pregnancy and increase optional abortions.In particular, fear of birth may increase cesarean delivery rates and also lead to negative maternal outcomes such as poor mental health after birth. Fear experienced during the antenatal period can lead to difficult births, mother-baby attachment problems, and depression. While fear of birth causes depression and anxiety disorders in the postpartum period, it is stated that depression experienced during pregnancy may increase the fear of birth, or fear of birth may be a hidden symptom of depression. It is noted that emotional regulation skills and resilience in pregnant women can be effective strategies in minimizing and managing fear, anxiety, stress, and anxiety. Emotional resilience is defined as the style of coping with stress, the ability to repair oneself, the ability to recover from adverse events quickly, and the state of adapting to a new environment. In particular, individuals with high emotional resilience can protect their physical and mental health and increase their life satisfaction by reducing the negative consequences they experience. With the emotional resilience training given during pregnancy, pregnant women's stress, fear, and anxiety will be reduced, and they will be able to cope better with the difficulties they experience. This research will be conducted to examine the effect of emotional resilience training given to primiparous pregnant women on fear of childbirth and depression.
