Abstract

Background

Major stressful life events are known to predict depression onset, but relatively few studies have examined the interplay of daily stress and negative affect, particularly in clinical samples. Preliminary research has been inconclusive whether only current depression is characterized by amplified emotional reactivity to stress, or whether these patterns are equally strong in those with any history of depression.

Methods

Twenty-three participants with current major depression, 38 with remitted depression, and 43 with no history of depression completed 2 weeks of ecological momentary assessment to examine reactivity to perceived stress, negative daily events, and interpersonal versus noninterpersonal daily events.

Results

Currently depressed individuals demonstrated greater reactivity (i.e. greater increases in negative affect) in response to daily perceived stress, relative to previously depressed and never depressed individuals. Furthermore, while previously and never depressed individuals exhibited equal reactivity to interpersonal and noninterpersonal stress, currently depressed participants were particularly sensitive to interpersonal negative events.

Conclusions

These microlongitudinal results extend prior longitudinal evidence of the critical role of interpersonal stress in the course of major depression. The findings emphasize the importance of cognitive interventions that target negative interpretations of daily events.

1
The terms “stress reactivity” and “emotional reactivity” have been used similarly in previous literature. We adopt the term stress reactivity here to emphasize the study’s focus on emotional responses to external daily stressors, negative events or other daily stress.
 
2
The difference in group sample size was due to the prevalence of current MDD, relative to remitted MDD or no history of MDD, within the larger project’s specific window for study entry, the first year of college.
 
3
Although gender differences were not a primary focus of the study, gender was examined as a possible moderator of stress reactivity. Gender did not moderate reactivity to negative events, interpersonal negative events, or noninterpersonal negative events, all ps > .145. Women did experience greater intensification of NA as perceived stress level increased, t(100) = 2.37, p = .020.
 
4
All stress reactivity models were re-analyzed to control for gender and baseline anxiety symptoms. There were no changes in the statistical significance of group differences in reactivity to perceived stress, to all negative events, to interpersonal events, or to noninterpersonal events. The only change in moderation results was that, compared with those with no history of depression, participants with current depression were no longer significantly more reactive to interpersonal versus noninterpersonal events, t(97) = 1.86, p = .067.

Neu im Fachgebiet Psychiatrie

„Wir wollen die Bedeutung von Gen- und Umwelteinflüssen besser verstehen“

Eine Mutation in einem einzelnen Gen kann bei Mäusen eine Art Bipolarstörung auslösen. PD Dr. Jan Deussing vom Max-Planck-Institut für Psychiatrie in München sieht in solchen Tiermodellen eine Möglichkeit, den Ursachen der Erkrankung auf den Grund zu gehen.

Suizidassistenz erhöht Suizidzahlen: Aktuelle Ergebnisse der geplanten S3-Leitlinie

Erstmals wird in Deutschland eine S3-Leitlinie zum Thema Suizidalität erarbeitet. Ziel ist es, die Versorgung in suizidalen Krisen durch einheitliche Standards zu verbessern. Erste Ergebnisse der bisherigen Leitlinienarbeit wurden auf dem DGPPN-Kongress vorgestellt.

Einer von sieben Frauen macht die Menopause sehr zu schaffen

Von mäßigen bis schweren vasomotorischen Beschwerden sind 14,7% der Frauen in der Postmenopause betroffen. Das haben kanadische Forscherinnen in einer Subgruppenanalyse der WARM-Studie herausgefunden.

Depressive Senioren fahren besonders riskant

Beim Autofahren machen ältere Depressive häufiger eine Vollbremsung, gehen öfter zu schnell in Kurven und halten sich seltener an Tempolimits als Senioren ohne Depression. Offenbar scheint eine Depression eine riskante Fahrweise im Alter zu verstärken.
