Non-melancholic depressive symptoms are associated with above average fat mass index in the Helsinki birth cohort study

2022

AbstractThere is an existing link between two of the most common diseases, obesity and depression. These are both of great public health concern, but little is known about the relationships between the subtypes of these conditions. We hypothesized that non-melancholic depressive symptoms have a stronger relationship with both body composition (lean mass and fat mass) and dysfunctional glucose metabolism than melancholic depression. For this cross-sectional study 1510 participants from the Helsinki Birth Cohort Study had their body composition evaluated as lean mass and fat mass (Lean Mass Index [LMI, kg/m2] + Fat Mass Index [FMI kg/m2] = Body Mass Index). Participants were evaluated for dep…

Flow with Nature treatment for depression: Participants’ experiences

2022

This study examined Flow with Nature (FWN) treatment, which is an integrative intervention (rehabilitation) based on eco and environmental psychology, psychotherapeutic theories and professional psychological practice. FWN is intended for depression rehabilitation with the help of social support, nature environments and FWN exercises. Exercises encourage sensing the environment, mindful awareness, psychological processing and focusing on the future. The FWN treatment proceeds in separate stages (horizon, growth and path), which emphasise nature, group (social support) and FWN exercises differently. This study focused on the experiences of the participants in the FWN treatment. Finnish adult…

Olemuksellisesti kivulias kokemus : eksistentiaalinen tunne ja psyykkinen kärsimys masennuksessa

2019

In his depression memoir the author William Styron likens suffering from depression to physical pain. In the article, I argue that Styron’s comparison must be taken literally: experience of depression essentially resembles suffering from physical pain. To this aim I will phenomenologically compare two autobiographical illness narratives, those of Jean-Luc Nancy and Piet Cornelius Kuiper. The first describes physical pain and discomfort, the latter severe depression. With the help of this comparison I will criticize an influential present account of the phenomenology of depression, Matthew Ratcliffe’s theory of so-called existential feelings. By criticizing Ratcliffe’s account and showing ho…

Personality Traits and Changes in Health Behaviors and Depressive Symptoms during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Longitudinal Analysis from Pre-pandemic to…

2021

The COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing measures targeting the transmission of the virus impacted everyday life in 2020. This study investigated pre- to in-pandemic changes in health behaviors and depressive symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic and the role of personality traits in these changes in Finland. Data from a larger population-based cohort study of 51–59-year-old Finnish women were used (n = 358). Self-reported questionnaires gathered information about depressive symptoms, eating behavior, physical activity, and alcohol consumption before the pandemic time, at the onset, and at the end of the COVID-19 emergency conditions. Information about personality traits (extraversion an…

Employment and earnings trajectories before and after sickness absence due to major depressive disorder: a nationwide case-control study.

2020

ObjectivesTo examine employment and earnings trajectories before and after the first sickness absence period due to major depressive disorder (MDD).MethodsAll individuals (n=158 813) in Finland who had a first sickness absence period (lasting longer than 9 days) due to MDD between 2005 and 2015 were matched with one randomly selected individual of the same age and gender with no history of MDD. Employment status and earnings were measured using register-based data annually from 2005 to 2015. Generalised estimating equations were used to examine the trajectories of employment and earnings before and after MDD diagnosis in men and women separately.ResultsSickness absence due to MDD was associ…

Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on mental health : An international study

2020

Background The COVID-19 pandemic triggered vast governmental lockdowns. The impact of these lockdowns on mental health is inadequately understood. On the one hand such drastic changes in daily routines could be detrimental to mental health. On the other hand, it might not be experienced negatively, especially because the entire population was affected. Methods The aim of this study was to determine mental health outcomes during pandemic induced lockdowns and to examine known predictors of mental health outcomes. We therefore surveyed n = 9,565 people from 78 countries and 18 languages. Outcomes assessed were stress, depression, affect, and wellbeing. Predictors included country, sociodemogr…

Me, Myself, and My Thoughts : The Influence of Brooding and Reflective Rumination on Depressive Symptoms in Athletes in the United Kingdom

2020

Individual differences in vulnerability to depression are still underexplored in athletes. We tested the influence of different brooding and reflective rumination profiles (i.e., repetitive thought processes in response to low/depressed mood) on the odds of experiencing clinically relevant depressive symptoms in competitive athletes (N = 286). The Patient Health Questionnaire–9 and the Ruminative Responses Scale– short form were utilized to measure depression and rumination, respectively. Compared to athletes with a low brooding/reflection profile, athletes with a high brooding/reflection profile had significantly higher odds of experiencing clinical levels of depressive symptoms (OR = 13.4…

"Mielimatka on ollut mieluisa matka": Yhdistelmäkuntoutus vs. perinteinen Silmu-kuntoutus mielenterveysongelmiin ja asiakkaiden kokemukset yhdistelmä…

2019

Hankkeen tavoitteena oli tutkia verkkopohjaisen, hyväksymis- ja omistautumisterapiamenetelmiin perustuvan yhdistelmämallin eli verkko-ohjelmasta ja kolmesta ryhmämuotoisesta kuntoutusjaksosta koostuvan kuntoutuksen vaikuttavuutta asiakkaiden mielenterveysoireiluun verrattuna Kelan Silmu-mielenterveyskuntoutukseen. Asiakkaat rekrytoitiin lehti-ilmoituksilla kesällä 2017. Tutkimus toteutettiin vuosien 2017–2019 aikana satunnaistetussa kontrolloidussa asetelmassa vertaamalla yhdistelmäkuntoutusryhmää (n = 32) ja perinteistä Silmu-kuntoutusryhmää (n = 27). Yhdistelmäkuntoutusryhmä sai 12 kuukauden kuntoutuksen, johon sisältyi 3 x 2 päivän lähijaksot Peurunka oy:n kuntoutuspalveluissa sekä verkk…

"Ei tää hullumpi ole" : yli 60-vuotiaiden omaishoitajien etäkuntoutuksen vaikuttavuus ja kuntoutujien kokemukset

2019

Hankkeen tavoitteena oli tutkia verkkopohjaisen, hyväksymis- ja omistautumisterapiamenetelmiin perustuvan etäkuntoutusohjelman vaikutuksia yli 60-vuotiaiden omaishoitajien psyykkiseen hyvinvointiin. Hanke toteutettiin näennäiskokeellisessa asetelmassa vertaamalla keskenään ryhmiä, joista yksi osallistui 12 viikon etäkuntoutusohjelmaan (n = 60), yksi omaishoitajien laitoskuntoutukseen (n = 52) ja yksi omaishoitoyhdistysten tarjoamiin toimintoihin (n = 39). Omaishoitajien psyykkistä hyvinvointia arvioitiin tutkimuksen alussa, etäkuntoutusohjelman jälkeen 4 kuukauden välimittauksissa sekä 10 kuukauden kuluttua tutkimuksen alusta. Tässä artikkelissa raportoidaan tuloksia ja kokemuksia hankkeen …
