countries averages 50%. In developing countries, the rates are even
lower.
Noncommunicable diseases (cancer, hypertension, diabetes,etc)
Mental disorders, human immunodeficiency virus/acquired

La Depressione : definizioneLa Depressione : definizione
La depressione come fenomeno appare di non facile definizione, in quanto legata indissolubilmente al concetto di umore.
L’umore è una dimensione complessa della vita psichica dell’uomo, nellaquale confluiscono aspetti emozionali, affettivo/sentimentali, cognitivi,
temporali, motivazionali e motori che, se così si può dire, “colora di sé” tutta la vita dell’individuo, costituendo una sorta di griglia percettiva ed
elaborativa con cui si dà significato alla realtà. (Vella, Siracusano1994)

Esiste una linea di continuità che collega la depressione sia alla tristezza, tristezza, esperienza comune e fisiologica,
sia al dolore,dolore, che rappresenta a sua volta uno dei nulei centrali della depressione.
La qualità che fa traghettare dolore e tristezza nella depressione può essere riconosciuta nella loro pervasività,pervasività, nell’interessare psiche e somanell’interessare psiche e soma allo stesso modo, nella loro fissitàfissità, nel non essere più modificabilinon essere più modificabili dalledalle

Depressione e suicidioDepressione e suicidio
10-15% dei pazienti depressi si suicida
I due terzi tra i pazienti depressi hanno idee suicide
I pazienti depressi con aspetti psicotici considerano talvolta l’uccisione di persone coinvolte nei loro sistemi deliranti
Population projection of US adults with lifetime experience of depressive disorder by age and sex from year 2005 to 2050 (I).
In year 2006 the (weighted) prevalence of lifetime experience of
depressive disorder was 15.7% among 188,292 respondents aged 18
years or older.
Female prevalence was 20.6%, which was about twice as high
as the prevalence among males (11%).

Population projection of US adults with lifetime experience of depressive disorder by
age and sex from year 2005 to 2050 (II).
From year 2005-2050, the total number of US adults with
depressive disorder will increase from 33.9 million to 45.8 million,
a 35% increase.
The increase is projected to be greater in the elderly population
aged >/= 65 years (3.8-8.2, a 117% increase???) than in the young
population aged < 65 years (30.1-37.7, a 25% increase).

Gender differences in health status
• In industrialized countries males tend to die earlier than females and females tend to have greater longevity but higher rates of morbidity (Okojie, 1994; Stein, 1997; Lewis, 1998)
• This female advantage is a relatively recent phenomenon and female excess mortality, which defined many western societies prior to the industrial revolution, still pertains in many less developed countries today ( Annandale, 1998)

perimenopausal transition) and then actually falls after menopause

Gender Differences in The Rates of Exposure to Stressful Life Events and Sensitivity to Their Depressogenic Effects
Conclusion
Women reported more interpersonal whereas Men reported more legal and work -related stressful life events.
Most life event categories influenced the risk for major depression similarly in the two sexes
The greater prevalence of major depression in women versus men is due neither to differences in the rates of reported stressful life events nor to differential sensitivity to their pathogenic effect.

Postpartum Depression: what it’s not
Postpartum depression has been used as a catchall phrase for many disorders, but it’s important to differentiate it from other postpartum disorders:
• Maternity Blues
• Postpartum panic disorder
• Postpartum obsessive-compulsive disorder
• Postpartum bipolar II disorder
• Postpartum posttraumatic stress disorder
• Postpartum psychosis
(Beck, Cheryl Tatano DNSc, CNM, FAAN, American Journal of Nursing, 2006; 106 (5) 40-50)
Postpartum Depression: what it is
Depressed Mood or Loss of Interest or Pleasure with 5 or more of the
following symptoms for at least two week:
1) insomnia or hypersomnia, 2) psychomotor agitation or retardation, 3)
fatigue, 4) changes in appetite, 5) feelings of worthlessness or guilt, 6)
decreased concentration and suicidality.
Although the DSM-IV-TR states that the depressive episode begins within four weeks of birth, many clinicians and researchers agree that this description is too limiting, as it’s thought that postpartum depression can occur up to a year after childbirth.
Postpartum Depression is a major depressive disorder. It strikes about 1 in 10 women.

RISK FACTORS Associated With The Development of Postpartum Mood Disorders
Were found to be significant risk factors for postpartum mood disorders:
Prenatal depression
Low self-esteem
Difficulties with child care
Prenatal anxiety
A high stress level
A low level of social support
Poor marital relationship
Two recent metaanalyses have identified significant risk factors for Postpartum Depression

Population projection of US adults with lifetime experience of depressive disorder by
age and sex from year 2005 to 2050 (III).
By year 2050, approximately 46 million US adults aged 18 years
Or older will be diagnosed with a depressive disorder. The increase
will be more pronounced in adults aged 65 or older. Prevention,
detection, and treatment of depressive disorders might attenuate
the magnitude of this estimate.
