“…According to Moffitt et al [24], the prevalence of major depressive disorders ranges from 10%-17% in early adulthood with more depressive symptoms among women than it may affect men while depression is relatively uncommon in pre-pubertal children in respect to gender and age [25]. In other words, the levels of depressive disorders starts too rise between 4-5% during early teenage year most especially among girls due to the pubertal symptoms which is much obvious than in boys [26] while discrepancies in rate of depressive symptoms among persons between ages 10 to 14 years of age has been found to vary considerably lower than adolescents who were between 15 to 19 years of age [27][28][29].…”

Introduction: Hearing loss is a silent disability that reduces the hearing acuity of an individual and makes it difficult to perceive or interpret auditory signals. Persons with hearing loss are a heterogeneous group comprising of diverse and complex psychosocial characteristics of individuals who does not readily enjoy the empathy/sympathy received by other forms of disabilities that is readily visible. Hearing loss usually predisposes sufferers to resentment, hostility, rejection and subtle denial resulting to a cascading effect on socio-emotional development and could ultimately lead to depression.Objective: This study assessed the extent and trend of studies on depression among individuals with hearing loss which are domiciled online data bases and to establish the strengths and limitation of such studies in Nigeria. Methods:To conduct this systematic review, a thorough search across multiple databases was undertaken, based upon five search facets ("depression", "depressive symptoms", "hearing loss", "deaf" and "hard of hearing"). Five electronic databases, key texts and references in the articles identified were scrutinized for article that have in their title "depression" and "hearing loss". Results:Data gathered revealed that hearing loss is significantly associated with depression while the onset and degrees of hearing loss poses to be a major correlate of depressive symptoms among the elderly. The study revealed that there is a dearth of studies which distinguished between communication options, parental involvement, socioeconomic status or birth order of the Deaf respondents/participants in relation to depression in their studies. Conclusion:There is a great tendency for depression among the Deaf and/or hard of hearing which may as well instigate suicidal thoughts. This study observed a dearth of studies on depression and its associated symptoms among the Deaf and/or hard of hearing in Nigeria and the Sub-Sahara Africa. Therefore, psychologist and other mental health workers should not take for granted any depressive symptoms among persons with hearing loss.

“…It is one of the leading causes of disease-related disability in women (2), and they are nearly twice as likely, compared with men, to suffer from an episode of depression (3)(4)(5). This difference begins early in life (adolescence) and persists through the mid-50s (6,7). Therefore, it would appear that women are more at risk of depression during their reproductive years.…”

Depression is one of the leading causes of disease-related disability in women, and they are nearly twice as likely as men to suffer from an episode of depression. The difference begins in early life and persists through to mid-life, and as such, these reproductive years have been labelled by some as a 'window of vulnerability'. The prevalence has been reported to be particularly high during the menopausal transition, but there is no consensus supporting a direct association with reproductive status. This may be partly due to methodological limitations and inconsistencies in the available studies, resulting from a large number of confounding factors. In addition, relationships between sex hormones and the neurotransmitters purported to be responsible for depression are complex. What appears to be universally accepted is that treatment, with oestrogen, for low mood in women during midlife years may be beneficial, and should be considered. Key Words Depression MidlifeSexual dimorphism Receptor polymorphisms SearchingAll searches were conducted in PUBMED and EMBASE. The following search terms were combined using Boolean rules: depression, menopause, midlife, women. All searches were updated June 2016.Searching of grey literature or unpublished literature was not undertaken. Papers published in languages other than English were not reviewed.The titles and abstracts of records retrieved by the searches were sifted for relevance, with potentially significant publications obtained in full text.

“…The importance of early detection of mental disorders in preadolescence and adolescence is widely acknowledged, because these years are critical for the onset and development of later disturbances [8,10,32,34]. Therefore, accurate estimates of the prevalence of psychopathology for these age groups are essential for setting up adequate services, with the aim of diminishing the consequences of mental disorders on later development and functioning in adulthood.…”

Background: While in the last 5 years several studies have been conducted in Italy on the prevalence of mental disorders in adults, to date no epidemiological study has been targeted on mental disorders in adolescents. Method: A two-phase study was conducted on 3,418 participants using the child behavior checklist/6–18 (CBCL) and the development and well-being assessment (DAWBA), a structured interview with verbatim reports reviewed by clinicians. Results: The prevalence of CBCL caseness and DSM-IV disorders was 9.8% (CI 8.8–10.8%) and 8.2% (CI 4.2–12.3%), respectively. DSM-IV Emotional disorders were more frequently observed (6.5% CI 2.2–10.8%) than externalizing disorders (1.2% CI 0.2–2.3%). In girls, prevalence estimates increased significantly with age; furthermore, living with a single parent, low level of maternal education, and low family income were associated with a higher likelihood of suffering from emotional or behavioral problems. Conclusions: Approximately one in ten adolescents has psychological problems. Teachers and clinicians should focus on boys and girls living with a single parent and/or in disadvantaged socioeconomic conditions
