Objective: Previously the authors found that personal importance of religion or spirituality was associated with a lower risk for major depression in study adults and without history depression. Here examine association adult offspring original sample using 10-year prospective longitudinal design. Method: Participants were 114 depressed nondepressed parents, followed longitudinally. The analysis covers period from to 20-year follow-up assessments. Diagnosis assessed Schedule Affective...
Studies of brain activity in affective disorders need to distinguish between effects depression and anxiety because the substantial comorbidity these disorders. Based on a model asymmetric hemispheric anxiety, it was predicted that anxious nonanxious depressed patients would differ electroencephalographic (EEG) measures parietotemporal activity. Resting EEG (eyes closed eyes open) recorded from 44unmedicated outpatients having unipolar major depressive disorder (19 with 25 without an...
We previously reported a 90% decreased risk in major depression, assessed prospectively, adult offspring of depressed probands who that religion or spirituality was highly important to them. Frequency church attendance not significantly related depression risk. Our previous brain imaging findings these high-risk families also revealed large expanses cortical thinning across the lateral surface right cerebral hemisphere.To determine whether adults high importance had thicker cortices than...
Major depressive disorder (MDD) remains challenging to treat. Although several clinical and demographic variables have been found predict poor antidepressant response, these markers not robustly replicated warrant implementation in care. Increased pretreatment rostral anterior cingulate cortex (rACC) theta activity has linked better outcomes. However, no prior study evaluated whether this marker incremental predictive validity over measures.To determine increased rACC would symptom...
This study examined whether adolescents with major depressive disorder (MDD) display the abnormal electroencephalographic (EEG) alpha asymmetries found in depressed adults. Resting EEG was recorded 25 right-handed female outpatients (19 MDD, 11 of whom also had a current anxiety disorder; 6 disorders only) and 10 non-ill controls. In contrast to controls, having MDD but no showed asymmetry indicative less activation over right than left posterior sites. Within patient group, comorbid reduced...
The approach-withdrawal model posits 2 neural systems of motivation and emotion hypothesizes that these are responsible for individual differences in emotional reactivity, or affective styles. also proposes depression is characterized by a deficit reward-seeking behavior (i.e., approach motivation) associated with relative decrease left frontal brain activity. authors tested aspects this comparing the electroencephalogram alpha power depressed nondepressed individuals during task manipulated...
