Developing and Implementing E-psychotherapy Program for Mental Health Challenges in Oncology and...

Mental Health IssueDepression3 more

The demand for mental health problems, particularly depression and anxiety, is three times greater in Oncology and Palliative Care Centres than in the general population. There are unique factors in this population that make them more susceptible to mental health challenges. The disease itself, the adjustment to a chronic/fatal diagnosis, and the treatment options can all perpetuate the development of mental illness. Despite the well-established association, there have been barriers to access suitable treatment for these patients. Online Psychotherapy is an effective treatment option that may address many of these barriers. This modality has been proven effective in addressing depression and anxiety in other populations. To date, there has been no psychotherapy module developed specifically for oncology and palliative care patients to our knowledge. The aim is to establish the first academic e-psychotherapy treatment option to address mood and anxiety disorders in oncology and palliative care patients. The investigators will use the Online Psychotherapy Tool (OPTT), a secure cloud-based platform for online delivery of e-CBT, developed by the PI. The proposed study aims to establish the feasibility and effectiveness of delivering online psychotherapy to oncology and palliative care patients who have a comorbid depressive or anxiety disorder. The patients will be enrolled in an 8-week program with a combination of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness techniques delivered via a series of modules. They will receive individualized feedback from a trained therapist weekly. It is hypothesized that delivering this psychotherapeutic intervention in this manner will have great adherence. The aim is to prove that it will improve the quality of life and decrease symptoms of depression and anxiety in this underserved patient population.

Treatment of Early Childhood Depression

Depression

Depression often occurs in early childhood. Moreover, later depression is frequently preceded by early childhood Depression (ECD). However, at present, there is a lack of evidence-based tratestments (EBTs) for ECD, posing a core research desideratum highlighted by both the American and German practice parameters for ECD. The current study seeks to redress this research gap, by evaluating the feasibility and dose-dependent effectiveness of manualized short-term psychoanalytic child psychotherapy (PaCT) compared to waitlist in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) among clinically referred 3 to 8-year-olds with ECD. Comprising 20-25 sessions in alternating settings (child-only, caregiver(s)-child, caregiver(s)-only), PaCT focuses on internal conflicts and representations underlying depressive disorders. PaCT targets the child-therapist relationship, using interpretative, play and mentalization-based techniques, aiming to elicit the interpersonal meaning of the child's symptoms within the child-caregiver relationship(s).

The Influence of Probiotic Supplementation on Depressive Symptoms, Inflammation and Oxidative Stress...

Depressive DisorderDepression4 more

The trial will be a four-arm, parallel group, prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled design that will include 200 participants and will last 20 weeks. The probiotic preparation will contain Lactobacillus helveticus Rosell®-52, Bifidobacterium longum Rosell®-175. We will assess the level of depression, anxiety and stress, quality of life, blood pressure, body mass index and waist circumference, white blood cells count, serum levels of C-reactive protein, HDL cholesterol, triglicerides, fasting glucose, faecal microbiota composition and the level of some faecal microbiota metabolites, as well as inflammation markers and oxidative stress parameters in serum. The trial may establish a safe and easy-to-use treatment option as an adjunct in a subpopulation of depressive patients only partially responsive to pharmacologic treatment.

Use of Transmucosal Ketamine in Post Stroke Depression

Post-stroke Depression

Studies have shown that ketamine is very effective and has a quick onset in treatment of depression. Most of these studies used intravenous ketamine in an inpatient setting and there are no large trials examining its use in Post Stroke Depression (PSD). There have been only few studies that have used other routes of administration (i.e., oral, transmucosal, intranasal, intramuscular) of ketamine which provided symptom relief for depression. The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of use of transmucosal ketamine in treatment of PSD. We hypothesize that fast acting antidepressant effects can be achieved with tolerable side effects for translation into the general post-stroke population. To test our hypothesis, the specific aim is to: (1) demonstrate that transmucosal administration of ketamine is feasible within the post-stroke depression population and has tolerable side effects. Exploratory aims will include assessment if ketamine also produces fast acting antidepressant effects.

Community Singing Interventions for Postnatal Depression: a Hybrid Type II Effectiveness-implementation...

Postnatal Depression

Postnatal depression (PND) affects over 13% of new mothers but there is still not an ideal treatment for all cases. Pharmaceutical and psychotherapy have offered solutions but there are challenges in treatment uptake and adherence and long waiting-lists for psychotherapy. Many mothers attend group activities with their babies, some including music and singing. Community group singing has shown improvement in mental health and singing to babies has shown improvement in mother-infant interaction and reduced infant distress. In this realm, Melodies for Mums (M4M) is a programme based in Lambeth and Southwark providing 10-week singing and music sessions for mothers with postnatal depression (PND) and their babies in community Children's Centres or online, according to government social distancing guidelines. Studies have demonstrated its effectiveness in reducing symptoms of PND faster than usual care or social groups, and preliminary process evaluations have suggested its suitability. It has also been identified as a strong way of engaging mothers from minority backgrounds who are less likely to seek professional support for their mental health. However, the programme is reliant on short-term grants and has not been implemented in clinical care. Therefore, there is a clear need to invest more research into this programme to help it achieve its potential. The investigators aim to conduct M4M in a clinical trial aimed at women experiencing symptoms of postnatal depression in the boroughs of Southwark, Lambeth and Lewisham. The investigators will collect data on the wellbeing of the women through a series of interviews and questionnaires and the investigators will also collect biological samples for stress and immunity markers from mothers and babies. In the long term the investigators intend to establish defined clinical referral pathways for patients from primary (GPs, community, among others) and secondary care (specialist doctor, hospital clinic) settings. In addition, the investigators will collect further evidence of the clinical, implementation and economic effectiveness of the intervention.

The Phosphodiesterase 4 Inhibitor Roflumilast as an Adjunct to Antidepressants in Major Depressive...

Major Depressive Disorder

n pre-clinical studies and early-stage clinical trials, PDE4 inhibitors such as rolipram have been shown to enhance memory. They also improve depressive-like behaviors induced by chronic unpredictable mild stress, lipopolysaccharide, or ethanol abstinence . Consequently, it is reasonable to believe that PDE4 is a potential target for treatment of the comorbidity of depression and AD.The aim of the current study is to evaluate the potential adjunct antidepressant effect of the Phosphodiesterase-4 Inhibitor Roflumilast in adult patients with MDD.

Comparing Uni- and Bi-lateral TBS in Major Depression

Major Depressive Episode

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a Health Canada approved treatment for major depression. Theta burst stimulation (TBS) is a very promising new treatment for major depression that allows a 15-fold reduction in duration of daily sessions. However, no large scale naturalistic study has assessed the superiority of bilateral TBS in comparison with unilateral left TBS. In fact, no TBS study thus far has included both unipolar and bipolar depression, or other psychiatric comorbidities such as anxiety. Maintenance has yet to be studied with TBS, along with an effective maintenance protocol to prevent relapse. Our study aims to explore and address these gaps.
