Initial Stage

The purpose of the study was to study the clinical and psychopathological phenomenology of the initial stage of depressive disorders in the context of clinical pathomorphosis. Materials and methods. Features of clinical symptoms of the initial stage of depressive disorders in the comparative aspect in the context of clinical pathomorphosis based on the analysis of medical records of 236 patients who were treated for depressive disorders in 1971-1995 (ICD-9 codes 296.1, 296.3) and clinical examination of 245 patients with depressive disorders in 2015-2019 (ICD-10 codes F 31.3, F 31.4, F 32.0, F 32.1, F 32.2, F 33.0, F 33.1, F 33.2) are considered. Results and discussion. It was established that there is a predominance in the clinical picture of modern depressive disorders of low mood (in general in 91.4% of patients, 91.6% of men and 91.3% of women, p>0.05), dyssomnia (93.1%, 92.5% and 93.5%, respectively, p>0.05), anxiety, fear (84.5%, 78.5%, 89.1%, respectively, p<0.01), asthenia (82.4%, 77.6% and 86.2%, respectively, p>0.05), somatic vegetative symptoms (82.9%, 77.6% and 87.0%, respectively, p<0.01), apathy (78.8%, 69.2% and 86.2%, respectively, p<0.01) and ideas of self-humiliation and self-blame (69.8%, 72.9% and 67.4%, respectively, p<0.01), and the relatively low prevalence of obsessive symptoms (55.1%, 54.2% and 55.8%, respectively, p<0.05), emotional lability (51.0%, 54.2% and 48.6%, respectively, p<0.01) and cognitive impairment (45.3%, 43.9% and 46.4%, respectively, p<0.05) with a predominance of emotional lability and ideas of self-humiliation and self-blame in men, and manifestations of anxiety, fear, apathy, cognitive impairment, obsessive and somatic vegetative symptoms in women, which gives grounds to consider that the main predictors of depressive disorder at the initial stage of low mood are dyssomnia, anxiety fear, asthenia and somatic vegetative symptoms. The revealed features suggest the presence of a clinical pathomorphosis of depressive disorders. The clinical pathomorphosis of the initial stage of depressive disorders is in a significant reduction in the clinical picture of low mood, ideas of self-abasement and self-blame, emotional lability and cognitive impairment, and an increase in anxiety, fear, asthenia, apathy, obsessive symptoms and obsessive-compulsive symptoms, with significantly greater gender differentiation of clinical symptoms of depression. Conclusion. The identified patterns are embedded in the general trend towards polymorphism and clinical undifferentiation of modern depressive disorders, significant involvement of patients with sleep disorders, asthenic, apathetic and somatic vegetative symptoms, which requires revision of diagnostic strategies and individualization of diagnosis. The identified patterns can be used for early diagnosis of depressive disorders and prevention of depression

Isozyme System

SummarySince the introduction of the monoamine oxydase inhibitors and the first tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) imipramine in the late fifties, the treatment of depressive disorders has been changed dramatically. Althought a great variety of antidepressants such as TCA's, selective serotoninte-re-uptake inhibitors (SSRI's) mianserin, trazodone, mirtazapine, moclobemide and venlafaxine has become available, the exact mode of action is not revealed as yet, and classification should be done according to the interference of antidepressants with central monoaminergic processes.As to the potential of causing interactions, special attention has to be given to the SSRI's because of their interference with the CYP450 isozyme system. Therapeutic monotoring is recommended for the TCA's. The choiseforan antidepressant should be based on various factors like symptomatology and severity of the depression, potential interactions and somatic and/or psychiatric comorbidity.Extensive clinical research has demonstrated that TCA's are the most effective for major depression with melancholia (vital depression) and depressive disorders in the elderly.

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.

Axis I

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a common disorder and usually runs a chronic course with waxing and waning course. It leads to pervasive impairments in multiple domains of life. The aim of the study was to assess the demographic characteristics of the OCD patients and symptom severity of this disorder. This was a cross-sectional study done in OCD clinic of outpatient department (OPD) of BSMMU, during the period from May, 2015 to April, 2017. Four hundred patients fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected consecutively. After taking written consent a predetermined questionnaire was filled for each patient through face-to-face interview. Then patients were evaluated covering the following areas: Axis I diagnoses (DSM-IV) and Y-BOCS severity scale. The results showed that, the mean age of the respondents was 26.6 (SD±9.9) years, ranging from 8 to 63 years. According to Y-BOCS symptoms severity used for adult patients found that majority (70%) of the patients had moderate to severe sufferings. Male had co-morbid anxiety disorders (panic disorder, agoraphobia, social phobia) more but female patients were found more depressive disorders. Female had more hypothyroidism, diabetes, skin disorders and hypertension than male. These demographic status, co-morbidity profile and symptoms severity can serve as the baseline data for a country like Bangladesh and further large scale, multi-centered study would better generalize the study results.

BACKGROUND Background: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive procedure in which brain neural activity is stimulated by direct application of a magnetic field to the scalp. rTMS is considered a therapeutic tool in various neuropsychiatric conditions. Since its approval in Canada in 2002 and despite its wide and continuous usage for the management of depressive disorders, knowledge on the use of rTMS for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is sparse. OBJECTIVE Objectives: This scoping review seeks to; (i) explore the relevant literature available regarding the use of rTMS as a mode of treatment for OCD; (ii) To evaluate the evidence to support the use of rTMS as a treatment option for OCD. METHODS Method: We electronically conducted data search in five research databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, Psych INFO, SCOPUS, and EMBASE) using all identified keywords and index terms across all the data bases to identify empirical studies and randomized controlled trials. We included articles published with randomized control designs which aimed at the treatment of OCD with rTMS. Only full-text published articles written in English were reviewed. Review articles on treatment for conditions other than OCD were excluded. RESULTS NA CONCLUSIONS Conclusion: The application of rTMS as a treatment intervention for OCD looks promising despite diversity in terms of outcomes and clinical significance. Further studies with well-defined stimulation parameters are needed in order to be able to draw a definite conclusion of its clinical effectiveness in the treatment of OCD.
