Objective: To ascertain the frequency of depressive disorder in women after miscarriage.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
Place And Duration Of Study: The Outdoor Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Services Hospital, Lahore, from January to June 2017.
Methodology: A total of 150 women from Outdoor Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Services Hospital, Lahore, fulfilling the inclusion criteria, were registered. Clinical assessment and the diagnosis for depressive disorder was performed by psychiatrist by putting criteria given in International Classification of Disease: 10th Revision (ICD-10). ICD 10 criteria require at least 2 symptoms out of three core symptoms (depressed mood, loss of interest, and reduced energy) along with at least 2 other symptoms, to be diagnosed as depression (ICD 10 criteria is given in annexure 2 of our article as well). The whole data was analyzed on SPSS-10 and p-value was measured. Chi-square was the test of significance.
Results: The 150 cases, 62% (n=93) were in age of 15-30 years while 38% (n=57) were in age of 31-40 years, with mean of 29.17 +5.94 years, frequency of depressive disorder among women after miscarriage was recorded in 15.33 (n=23). Stratification for frequency of depressive disorder among women after miscarriage with relation to family history shows that 10 out of 57 cases had family history, while 13 out of 93 cases had no family history of depression (p=0.55).
Conclusion: The frequency of depressive disorder was not very high among women after miscarriage; however, by taking appropriate interventions like guiding the family members, including friends, to provide emotional support to the women after miscarriage, it may further reduce.

Background And Objectives: Peripartum mood and anxiety disorders constitute the most frequent form of maternal morbidity in the general population, but little is known about peripartum mental illness in mothers with multiple sclerosis (MS). We compared the incidence and prevalence of peripartum mental illness among mothers with MS, epilepsy, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and diabetes and women without these conditions.
Methods: Using linked population-based administrative health data from ON, Canada, we conducted a cohort study of mothers with MS, epilepsy, IBD, and diabetes and without these diseases (comparators) who had a live birth with index dates, defined as 1 year before conception, between 2002 and 2017.
Integrative Oncology: Incorporating Evidence-Based Approaches for Patients With GI Cancers.

Data have matured to support incorporation of integrative oncology modalities into comprehensive cancer care. Clinical practice guidelines have recently been published by ASCO for diet and exercise (2022) and use of cannabinoids and cannabis (2024) and jointly by ASCO and the Society for Integrative Oncology (SIO) for application of integrative approaches in the management of pain (2022), anxiety and depression (2023), and fatigue (2024) among adults with cancer. Following the ASCO-SIO guidelines, clinicians should recommend mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) to patients with symptoms of anxiety or depression and MBIs and exercise for management of fatigue during or after completion of cancer treatment.

Background: Epidemiological research suggests that altered levels of cytokine are associated with pathophysiology and the development of major depressive disorder (MDD). Based on earlier study, IL-1β rs16944 and rs1143627 polymorphisms may increase the risk of depression. Here, we aimed to evaluate the correlation between these polymorphisms and MDD susceptibility among the population in Bangladesh.

Background: Recent studies have demonstrated a greater risk of dementia in female veterans compared to civilians; with the highest prevalence noted for former service women with a diagnosis of psychiatric (trauma, alcoholism, depression), and/or a physical health condition (brain injury, insomnia, diabetes). Such findings highlight the need for increased and early screening of medical and psychiatric conditions, and indeed dementia, in the female veteran population. Further, they call for a better understanding of the underlying biopsychosocial mechanisms that might confer heightened risk for female veterans, to tailor preventative and interventional strategies that support brain health across the lifespan.

Department of Psychology, Brandeis University, Waltham, MA, USA.
Background And Objective: Poor executive functioning (EF) has been consistently linked to depression, but questions remain regarding mechanisms driving this association. The current study tested whether poor EF is linked to depression symptoms six weeks later via dependent stressors (model 1) and stressors perceived to be uncontrollable (model 2) at week two (W2) and repetitive negative thinking (RNT) at W4 during early COVID-19 in college students.
Design: This was a longitudinal study with four timepoints spanning six weeks (April-June 2020).
