Several studies assessed the relationship between depression and dimensions of temperament/character using the Cloninger's model of personality and the TCI-R. The aim of this study is clarify the relation between depression and personality in men and women who are expecting a baby. The Temperament and Character Inventory-Revised Form and the Beck Depression Inventory were administered to 65 pregnant women and 37 husbands during the last quarter of pregnancy. ANOVAs showed that pregnant women had higher levels of depression, reward dependence, and self-transcendence than the expectant fathers. Hierarchical Multiple Regression Analysis in the pregnant women group showed that harm avoidance and self-directedness were significant predictors of the level of depression. In the expectant fathers, only self-directedness was a significant predictor of depression. Low TCI-R self-directedness is a strong predictor of depression in expectant parents during pregnancy regardless of gender, and high TCI-R harm avoidance is an additional predictor of depression in expectant mothers.

Development of an online psychological intervention to prevent depression in patients with atrial fibrillation: lessons learned in a user-centered design study.

Department of Psychology, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark.
Background: Approximately 30% of patients with atrial fibrillation suffer from depression. Depression in patients with atrial fibrillation is associated with poor health outcomes, reduced health-related quality of life, and elevated societal costs. Preventing depression in this population may therefore lead to better health outcomes for the individual patient and reduced burden on society.

Background: Adolescents living with HIV face unique challenges, including mental health issues such as depression and cognitive dysfunction. Despite this significant burden, there is a lack of evidence focusing on this population. This study therefore aims to examine the moderating effects of biopsychosocial factors on the bi-directional relationship between HIV-related depression and cognitive function among adolescents living with HIV in the Mbeya region, Tanzania.

Reinforcement learning studies propose that decision-making is guided by a tradeoff between computationally cheaper model-free (habitual) control and costly model-based (goal-directed) control. Greater model-based control is typically used under highly rewarding conditions to minimize risk and maximize gain. Although prior studies have shown impairments in sensitivity to reward value in individuals with frequent alcohol use, it is unclear how these individuals arbitrate between model-free and model-based control based on the magnitude of reward incentives.

Objective: The study aimed to estimate 5-year recurrence rates of first-episode major depressive disorder (MDD) and assess the impact of adolescence on recurrence likelihood after the first episode, compared to adults.
Methods: A pre-registered retrospective cohort study that utilized epidemiological data from the Stockholm MDD Cohort (1997-2018), including all individuals registered with a depression diagnosis in Region Stockholm from 2010 to 2018. This dataset combines longitudinal information from primary and secondary care, socioeconomic data, drug dispensations, psychotherapy sessions, brain stimulation treatments, and inpatient treatment.
