Although the prevalence of depression among medical interns substantially exceeds that general population, specific factors responsible are not well understood. Recent reports a moderating effect genetic polymorphism (5-HTTLPR) in serotonin transporter protein gene on likelihood life stress will precipitate may help to understand development mood symptoms interns.To identify psychological, demographic, and residency program associated with use internship as model study effects this...
Background For diagnostic purposes, the nine symptoms that compose DSM-5 criteria for major depressive disorder (MDD) are assumed to be interchangeable indicators of one underlying disorder, implying they should all have similar risk factors. The present study investigates this hypothesis, using a population cohort shifts from low elevated depression levels. Method We assessed MDD criterion (using Patient Health Questionnaire; PHQ-9) and seven factors (personal family history, sex, childhood...
<h3>Importance</h3> Depression is common among training physicians and may disproportionately affect women.

While short and poor quality sleep among training physicians has long been recognized as problematic, the longitudinal relationships sleep, work hours, mood, performance are not well understood. Here, we prospectively characterize risk of depression medical errors based on preinternship disturbance, internship-related duration, duty hours. Survey data from 1215 nondepressed interns were collected at baseline, then 3 6 months into internship. We examined how internship hours affected months,...

The relationship between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and earlier age at onset of affective illness was examined in probands with a history bipolar disorder.The authors assessed 56 adult subjects. Those childhood ADHD (N=8) were sex matched subjects without (N=8).The the first episode lower for (mean=12.1 years, SD=4.6) than those (mean=20. 0 SD=11.3).ADHD children might identify highest risk development disorder.
Improving our ability to accurately predict individual risk for depression would have profound public health benefits. While there has been growing interest in understanding the relation between measures of positive emotion, such as well-being, and depression, it is not clear whether low well-being an independent predictor short term risk. We assessed a factor depressive symptoms. Medical internship well-established period stress when levels symptoms increase dramatically. 1621 individuals...
<h3>Importance</h3>In 2003, the first phase of duty hour requirements for US residency programs recommended by Accreditation Council Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) was implemented. Evidence suggests that this resulted in a modest improvement resident well-being and patient safety. To build on these initial changes, ACGME new set took effect July 2011.<h3>Objective</h3>To determine effects 2011 reforms first-year residents (interns) their patients.<h3>Design</h3>As part Intern Health...
In the United States, approximately 1 physician dies by suicide every day. Training physicians are at particularly high risk, with suicidal ideation increasing more than 4-fold during first 3 months of internship year. Despite this increase, to our knowledge, very few efforts have been made prevent escalation thoughts among training physicians.To assess effectiveness a web-based cognitive behavioral therapy (wCBT) program delivered prior start year in prevention medical interns.A randomized...

Methods: A total 2,084 psychiatrists participated in an online survey, completed Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI) Patient Health Questionnaire–9 (PHQ-9), provided data information. Linear regression analysis was used to determine factors associated...
