Active clinical trials for "Depression"

To assess the efficacy of an online, active play program (Revival Active Program) in reducing the symptoms of anxiety and depression in community-based adolescents,, a retrospective community based participatory research was conducted with 32 adolescents aged between 11-17 years old. Program was conducted during Covid-19 lockdown from March 2020 to June 2020 to support children and families in isolation.

Introducing restrictions on human contact has been effective in preventing the uncontrolled spread of COVID-19, however, it appears to have negatively impacted mental health. Psychological problems in different age groups occur with different intensity and duration of the pandemic. This study was aimed to assess the impact of introducing distance learning (e-Learning) on the stress levels and mental well-being among Polish, Slovak and Lithuanian Students.

The interest of pulmonary rehabilitation for patients who underwent lung resection for cancer remains controversial. The investigators studied the effects of the RR and its impact on quality of life and level of anxiety and depression in patients. In 2011 and 2012 , an RR was proposed to the patients referred to our center after lung resection for cancer. Patients were assessed at entry and departure by 6minutes walk test , a visual analog pain scale , a quality of life questionnaire ( EORTC QLQ C30 ) and an anxiety questionnaire and Depression (HAD) . These same questionnaires were mailed 6 months after the end of the pulmonary rehabilitation .

This study seeks to investigate the levels of parental stress across different demographic subgroups in the general parental population during the strict social distancing government-initiated non-pharmacological interventions (NPI's) related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The study also seeks to examine the predictors of parental stress rates related to these non-pharmacological interventions (NPI's). In addition, the research will investigate the association between parental stress associated and psychopathology symptoms (i.e., depression and generalized anxiety). The aim of the project is to: Inform the policymakers, the general public, scientists, and health practitioners about the psychological associations of the COVID-19-related government-initiated measures on parental stress, with special focus on the school and kindergarten lockdowns. Provide a foundation for policymakers and health-care professionals to employ interventions that protect families against possibly increased psychological stressors. Help policymakers and healthcare professionals to better understand the association of demographic variables and other predictors on parental stress and parent-child dysfunction, which information necessary for evaluating the psychological impact of NPIs on parental stress and thus the framework under which decisions about school/kindergarten lockdowns are made.

The study will apply state of the art radiology through advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to investigate structural and functional brain effects of ECT.

Qatar Mothers and Babies is a 4-year collaboration between Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and Sidra Medicine in Doha, Qatar that will generate and evaluate a cultural and contextual adaptation of the Mothers and Babies intervention for pregnant Arabic-speaking women in Qatar. The study will examine the feasibility and acceptability of the adapted intervention as well as its effectiveness in improving mental health outcomes among pregnant women receiving prenatal care at Sidra Medicine in Doha. Additionally, given the high prevalence of diabetes among this study population, the investigators are also interested in seeing if the Mothers and Babies interventions helps improve the management of this disease. Funded by the Qatar National Research Fund's National Priorities Research Program (NPRP), this project has the potential to guide future cultural adaptations of Mothers and Babies as well as other evidence-based interventions, and the delivery of Mothers and Babies to Arab and Arab-American women.

Depressed patients talk differently when they are depressed compared to when they are well. But it is hard to actually measure what the differences are. The study team will record voice samples from patients with mood disturbances, like depression, over the course of their receiving an electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) series. The study team will try and measure or quantify exactly what has changed in their speech and voice. The study team will choose ECT as it is one of the most effective and rapid treatment for depression. The study team will use a service provided by a company, NeuroLex, who has complex computer programs (artificial intelligence, AI) to analyze the voice samples.

The Dual Factor Model of mental health (DFM; Greensporn & Saklofske, 2001) postulates that mental health consists of two at least partially unrelated factors, the experience or absence of psycho-pathological symptoms (i.e. depressive symptoms) and the experience or absence of positive mental health (i.e. life satisfaction, meaningfulness). Both factors contribute to an individual's well-being and mental health.The DFM has been used as a framework to describe and evaluate participants' mental health in different settings in cross-sectional and longitudinal designs mostly outside of clinical settings. Psychological Interventions, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy are widely studied concerning their reduction of psycho-pathological symptoms. However, little is known about the effect of psychological interventions on the second factor (positive mental health) of the DFM. This is especially important, because the latter has been shown to contribute significantly to subjective well-being and to reduce the risk of suicidal intentions and behavior. Primary, the authors aim to investigate the DFM in an inpatient sample over the course of time (pre-treatment, post-treatment, 6 and 12 months after discharge). Secondly, they aim to investigate the relationship between positive mental health and suicidal ideation over the course of time.
