Childhood Bereavement

Recent studies of childhood bereavement in depressive populations (Forrest, Fraser, and Priest, 1965; Munro, 1966) indicate that parental bereavement in childhood may be of aetiological significance in depressive illness (Forrest et al., 1965) and may affect the severity of the clinical picture (Munro, 1966).

Symptoms Of Depression

AbstractMany endocrine disorders present with symptoms of depression, thus differentiating primary depressive disorders from such endocrine conditions can be challenging. Awareness of the typical clinical picture of endocrine disorders is of primary importance. This article discusses a variety of common and uncommon endocrine disorders and the symptomatology that might suggest a depressive illness, and reviews literature on how endocrinopathies can mimic depression. Emphasis is also placed on the role that stress can play in the pathogenesis of endocrine disorders. Psychiatrists should be familiar with the range of presenting symptoms for endocrine disorders, and they should not rely on the presence or absence of stressors to guide their differential diagnosis between depression and endocrine disorder.

Mourning And Melancholia

The effect that childhood experience may have upon the individual's adult life has always been a subject of great interest.Since the publication of Freud's essay on “Mourning and Melancholia” (1917), much thought has been devoted to the influence of bereavement in childhood, more especially as an antecedent to depressive illness in the adult. Bereavement is peculiarsluyitable for such an investigation since the death of a parent is one of the few reasonably frequent events which are largely independent of the behavioural pattern of the family.

Already an extensive literature exists on affective disorders, particularly depressive illness, in various developing countries of the world (Carothers, 1947; Tooth, 1950; Lambo, 1956 and 1960; Asuni, 1962; Pfeiffer, 1962 and 1963; Yap, 1965). Different authors have commented on different aspects of these disorders, and variations in their incidence, symptomatology and course have aroused widespread speculation regarding possible cultural influences on aetiology and clinical picture.

Depressive Patients

Since in most cultures it is normal practice for children to be reared by their parents, there is a general consensus of opinion that it is undesirable to be deprived of one's parents in childhood. This can scarcely be disputed, but to assert, as many authorities do, that a variety of severe psychological abnormalities may arise in the child as a result of such deprivation is to make an assumption of some magnitude. It requires an even greater assumption to postulate a causal connection between a long-past occurrence like childhood bereavement and a psychiatric illness which develops in adult life. It will be contended here that, with some exceptions, the evidence for such a connection is meagre. In particular, it will be shown that there is no apparent justification for regarding parental deprivation as an aetiological factor in depressive illness.

Opposite Sequence

Of 100 inpatients with depressive illness, fifty-three had evidence of depressed mood prior to their hypochondriacal symptoms, sixteen had the opposite sequence of development and thirty-one had no hypochondriacal symptoms. Comparison of the three groups revealed some differences that would suggest a less severe depressed mood in association with hypochondriacal symptoms. Whether hypochondriasis preceded or followed depressed mood did not make any other difference to the total clinical picture. This should not be taken to imply that treatment and prognosis are the same in hypochondriacal and nonhypochondriacal depressions.

The Subject

Among all the childhood influences that may affect individual development and contribute to breakdown in adult life, the quality of parental care has always appeared of paramount importance. The supposed sequelae of parents’ absence have been the subject of many studies, relating particularly to depression (Dennehy, 1966, and Hill and Price, 1967) and to attempted suicide (Greer et al., 1966). In the latter study a significant association was established between absence of either parent and a later suicidal attempt, especially if the absence started in the first five years of life.

Folie A Deux

AbstractAn example of folie à deux with an uncommon clinical picture is presented. It concerns two spinster sisters, with no past psychiatric history, who became simultaneously manic while on holiday. The “Principal” was clearly deluded; the “Associate” shared these abnormal beliefs. After recovery and eighteen months later, one became depressed and the other shared her suicidal ideas, but this time the roles of the “Principal” and “Associate” were reversed. The shortcomings of the ICD10 and DSM-IIIR in classifying this syndrome are highlighted.

Lysosomal Diseases

There are four lysosomal diseases of which the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis is the rarest. The clinical presentation and their characteric abnormal ultrastructure subdivide them into four types. These are known as the Infantile form (Santavuori-Haltia), Late infantile form (Jansky-Bielschowsky), Juvenile form (Batten-Spielmeyer-Voght) and the Adult form (Kuph's).An 8 year old Omani girl presented wth myclonic jerks since the age of 4 years, with progressive encephalopathy, mental retardation, ataxia and loss of vision. An ophthalmoscopy was performed followed by rectal suction biopsies (fig. 1). A previous sibling had died of an undiagnosed neurological disorder with a similar clinical picture.
