This chapter describes methods and tools for assessing obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). The chapter outlines the purposes of assessment and discusses special challenges presented by OCD, such as shame associated with socially unacceptable obsessional content. Several types of assessment tools are discussed, including structured diagnostic interviews, semistructured clinician interviews to assess OCD symptom profile and severity, self-report instruments, behavioral assessment and self-monitoring, assessment of appraisals and beliefs relevant to OCD, and functional impairment. The importance of linking assessment findings to an evidence-based treatment plan is discussed.

The primary purpose of this study was to investigate parents' and teachers' sensitivity to the unhappiness and depression of 110 elementary-aged undercontrolled children being treated in an inpatient program. Sensitivity was operationally defined as congruence between the child's responses on two self-report measures (Children's Depression Inventory and Hopelessness Scale for Children) and the adults' behavioral ratings of the children on behavior checklists (Child Behavior Checklist and Teacher Report Form). The first hypothesis that children's self-reports of depressive symptoms would not be significantly correlated with parents' and teachers' ratings of depressive symptomatology was supported. Secondly, it was hypothesized that there would be no differences in the level of self-reported depressive symptoms when children who were rated as depressed by their parents and teachers were compared with children rated as not depressed by their parents and teachers. This was also supported. Finally, it was hypothesized that children who reported significant levels of depressive symptomatology would be rated by their parents and teachers as having more behavior problems than children who did not report significant levels of depressed symptomatology. This was partially supported. The implications of these results in relation to identification and treatment are discussed.

Previous research has demonstrated a clear link between late chronotype and depression. The vulnerability factors underpinning this link, however, are unclear. Here the relationship between two specific emotion regulation strategies, cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression, and chronotype was investigated using multiple regression. Two hundred and fourty participants (age range 18- 80, 189 females) completed validated self-report questionnaires assaying chronotype, neuroticism, depression symptomatology, sleep quality and emotion regulation. Eveningness was associated increased expressive suppression and morningness was associated with increased cognitive reappraisal after controlling for age, gender, depressive symptomatology, neuroticism and sleep quality. Trait expressive suppression and reduced cognitive reappraisal are known to increase depression risk. Our results suggest that eveningness is associated with impaired emotion regulation which may confer risk for future depression. These findings suggest modifiable markers that could be therapeutically targeted to prevent the onset of depression in late chronotype individuals.

Abstract Introduction A prior study showed a higher prevalence of insomnia among younger Veterans with military sexual trauma (MST) before receiving care at a VA Medical Center (VAMC). We extend the literature to investigate the prevalence and correlates of insomnia in male Veterans with and without MST currently receiving care within a VAMC. Methods We evaluated cross-sectional data from a survey within the Philadelphia VAMC (N=138) using the following instruments: Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) total score for insomnia; Sexual Harassment Scale (DRRI-2) to screen for MST; PTSD checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) PTSD symptoms; Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology-Self report (QIDS-SR) to evaluate depressive symptoms; Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT-C) to assess for harmful drinking; and, the nightmare question from the PCL-5 scale to screen for persistent nightmares. The association between ISI total score and variables were assessed separately in individuals with and without MST, using bivariate and multivariable analyses. Results The mean(SD) age was 55.2(12.8) years. They were likely to identify themselves as African-American (44.2%), and had a high school diploma (39.1%). MST was endorsed by 31.9% of the Veterans. Insomnia was more prevalent in those with MST [N=42(95.4%)] than those without [N=77(81.9%)]. Individuals with MST had higher ISI (19.9±5.0 Vs 16.7±7.2) and PCL-5 (48.4±14.4 Vs 38.1±19.7) total scores, than individuals without. Among those with MST, the bivariate analysis showed significant associations with PCL-5 (β=0.2, p<0.0001), QIDS (β=0.5, p=0.01), AUDIT-C (β=0.5, p=0.008), and nightmares (β=3.9, p=0.03). In the multivariable model, ISI total score was only associated with the PCL-5 total score (β=0.3, R2=0.18, p=0.0005). Among those without MST, the bivariate analysis showed significant associations between ISI total score and age (β=-0.1, p=0.02), total scores on the PCL-5 (β=0.2, p<0.0001), QIDS (β=0.9, p<0.00001), and nightmare (β=6.7, p<0.0001). In the multivariable model (R2=0.5, p<0.00001), the ISI total score was associated with PCL-5 (β=0.1, p=0.01), and QIDS (β=0.7, p=<0.0001) total scores. Conclusion There is a higher prevalence of insomnia among Veterans with MST currently receiving care within the VHA. Treatment of insomnia and PTSD is critical to improve their well-being and prevent complications. Support (if any) The study was supported by VA grant IK2CX000855 (S.C.).

Intravenous Ketamine

Abstract Background Ketamine’s potent and rapid antidepressant properties have shown great promise to treat severe forms of major depressive disorder (MDD). A recently hypothesized antidepressant mechanism of action of ketamine is the inhibition of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor-dependent bursting activity of the habenula (Hb), a small brain structure which modulates reward and affective states. Methods Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging was conducted in 35 patients with MDD at baseline and 24 hours following treatment with intravenous ketamine. A seed-to-voxel functional connectivity (FC) analysis was performed with the Hb as a seed-of-interest. Pre-post changes in FC and the associations between changes in FC of the Hb and depressive symptom severity were examined. Results A reduction in Montgomery–Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) scores from baseline to 24 hours after ketamine infusion was associated with an increase in FC between the right Hb and a cluster in the right frontal pole (t=4.65, P=0.03, FDR-corrected). A reduction in Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology-Self Report (QIDS-SR) score following ketamine was associated with increased FC between the right Hb and clusters in the right occipital pole (t=5.18, p<0.0001, FDR-corrected), right temporal pole (t=4.97, P<0.0001, FDR-corrected), right parahippocampal gyrus (t=5.80, P=0.001, FDR-corrected), and left lateral occipital cortex (t=4.73, P=0.03, FDR-corrected). Given the small size of the Hb, it is possible that peri-habenular regions contributed to the results. Conclusions These preliminary results suggest that the Hb might be involved in ketamine’s antidepressant action in patients with MDD, although these findings are limited by the lack of a control group.
