We used the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale to assess maternal depressive symptoms and the trajectories from three months until the 11-year follow-up were calculated using a group-based modelling approach. Psychological and physical aggression were measured using the Parent-Child Conflict Tactics Scale. Maternal quality of life was measured by the question \"How is your quality of life?\". Data were analyzed using path models in Mplus.Results: Our findings showed that all maternal depressive symptoms trajectories increased the frequency of psychological and physical aggression at early adolescence when compared to the reference group. Mediation analysis indicated that maternal depressive symptoms led to low levels of perceived maternal quality of life, which in turn was associated with the increased use of harsh parenting. The proportion of total effect explained by maternal quality of life ranged from 4.04% (0.00%-5.58%) to 16.31% (10.88%-19.10%).Conclusion: Our findings support the evidence showing that maternal depressive symptoms are associated with harsh parenting within a longitudinal framework from a middle-income country. Our results also suggest that one mechanism underlying this association is a women's lower perceived quality of life.","PeriodicalId":21244,"journal":{"name":"Revista Brasileira de Psiquiatria","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142294249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After excluding prevalent cases in 2007. Subsequently, a nested case-control study enrolled 1,256 suicide cases and 5,022 matched controls was conducted. The frequencies of MDD-related outpatient or inpatient visits over a 7-year period preceding the event dates were calculated and analyzed for association using conditional logistic regression.Results: Dementia comorbid with MDD was associated with increased suicide risk (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 2.67), particularly in individuals with ≤1.0 MDD episodes per year (AOR: 2.85). Similar association was observed only in individuals aged ≥65 years and males, with a pronounced risk of suicide in those ≤1.0 MDD episodes per year (AOR: 3.08 for individuals aged ≥65 years; AOR: 3.28 for males).

Participants who played instruments or already received some psychological treatment showed a greater magnitude of symptom decrease.

Although severity has been operationalized in different ways, mostly on a gradient between symptom severity and functional impairment, such approaches are limited in capturing real-world functioning. We suggest adopting the severity model proposed by DSM-5 for autism spectrum disorders. The model defines three levels of severity, based on the support required, directly addressing two barriers from previous models: real-world functioning and ease of implementation. Our adapted model includes three new features: First, this severity specifier is global, rather than for each symptom domain. Second, the centrality of occupational functioning is emphasized to define the level of support. Third, we propose a one-month timeframe for severity appraisal, standardizing the assessment process. Considering practical utility, we indicate how severity assessment can guide clinical practice towards rehabilitation. Additionally, we outlined operational definitions for severity and functioning in schizophrenia, aligned with the premises of our model. Finally, we acknowledge potential limitations, the most relevant being the need for empirical validation. The model is presented to foster discussion. Additional studies will follow to investigate inter-rater reliability and convergent validation with standard measures of symptom and functioning severity.","PeriodicalId":21244,"journal":{"name":"Revista Brasileira de Psiquiatria","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142294247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
