Abstract: This article analyzes the textual and visual discourse of recent depression campaigns and advertisements generated by state-policy, advocacy, and pharmaceutical organizations, drawing on the work of Anne Balsamo, Nikolas Rose, and Paul Rabinow, among others. A variety of recent Web campaigns are critiqued, addressing the new pharmaceutical strategy of identifying a broad spectrum of depression. These campaigns re-gender subjects by targeting common social and biological factors in the lives of women and girls as risks, while framing male depression as patriarchal opportunity. This analysis of the discourse of gender, risk, and depression in the context of neo-liberalism indicates how health subjects are imagined as consumers and how this situation creates new constrained forms of “responsibilized,” gendered subjectivity. Résumé : Cet article analyse le discours textuel et visuel de campagnes et de publicités récentes sur la dépression produites par des organismes gouvernementaux, activistes et pharmaceutiques. Pour ce faire, on se fonde sur l’oeuvre d’Anne Balsamo, Nikolas Rose et Paul Rabinow, entre autres. Nous y passons en revue une diversité de campagnes sur le Web en portant une attention particulière sur la nouvelle stratégie pharmaceutique qui consiste à reconnaître un large éventail de types de dépression. Ces campagnes remettent l’accent sur le sexe des sujets en évaluant les pratiques quotidiennes de femmes et de filles comme comportant des risques tout en cadrant la dépression masculine comme occasion patriarcale. Cette analyse du discours sur le sexe, le risque et la dépression dans le contexte du néolibéralisme indique comment maints organismes perçoivent les patients comme étant des consommateurs et comment cette perception crée de nouvelles formes contraignantes de subjectivité « responsabilisée » par sexe.

Abstract Background Multivariable risk algorithms (MVRP) predicting the personal risk of depression will form an important component of personalized preventive interventions. However, it is unknown whether providing personalized depression risk will lead to unintended psychological harms. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the impact of providing personalized depression risk on non-specific psychological distress and functional impairment over 12 months. Methods A mixed-methods randomized controlled trial was conducted in 358 males and 354 females who were at high risk of having a major depressive episode according to sex-specific MVRPs, and who were randomly recruited across Canada. Participants were assessed at baseline, 6 and 12 months. Results Over 93% of participants were interested in knowing their depression risk. The intervention group had a greater reduction in K10 score over 12 months than the control group; complete-case analysis found a significant between-group difference in mean K10 change score (d = 1.17, 95% CI 0.12–2.23) at 12 months. Participants in the intervention group also reported significantly less functional impairment in the domains of home and work/school activities, than did those in the control group. A majority of the qualitative interviewees commented that personalized depression risk information does not have a negative impact on physical and mental health. Conclusions This study found no evidence that providing personalized depression risk information will lead to worsening psychological distress, functional impairment, and absenteeism. Provision of personalized depression risk information may have positive impacts on non-specific psychological distress and functioning. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02943876

Introduction. This study aims to establish the association between low capital social (CS) with some indicators of psychological distress. Methods. A cross-sectional study was carried out using an online questionnaire that evaluated demographic variables, social capital, coronavirus disease perceived stress, depression risk, insomnia risk, and suicide risk. SC was taken as an independent variable, and symptoms indicating psychological distress was handed as dependent variables. Odds ratios (OR) were established with 95% confidence intervals (CI), using binary logistic regression analysis. Results. A group of 700 adults participated in the survey; they were aged between 18 and 76 years (M = 37, SD = 13). Low SC was associated with depression risk (OR = 2.00, 95%CI 1.34-2.97), elevated suicide risk (OR = 2.62, 95%CI 1.40-4.91) high perceived stress related to coronavirus disease (OR = 2.08, 95%CI 1.15-3.76), and insomnia risk (OR = 2.42, 95%CI 1.69-3.47). Conclusions. Low CS was associated with indicators of psychological distress represented in depression risk, elevated suicide risk, high perceived stress related to coronavirus disease and insomnia risk. SC is a community social resource that could help mitigate the impact of the coronavirus disease quarantine amidst the Colombian population's psychological health. It is necessary to deepen the SC role in psychological well-being during and after the coronavirus disease epidemic.
