“…Residual social maladjustment was subsequently reported by other investigators (Bauwens et al 1991 ;Goering et al 1992 ;Coryell et al 1993 ;Shapira et al 1999;Judd et al 2000a ;Papakostas et al 2004;Nasser & Overholser, 2005) and was found to correlate with long-term outcome (Goering et al 1992;Agosti, 1999 ;Furukawa et al 2001;Papakostas et al 2004;Goldberg & Harrow, 2004). The question has been raised as to whether these interpersonal functioning deficits are trait or state dependent (Ohrt et al 1998 ;Agosti, 1999 ;Petty et al 2004). When monthly ratings of impairment in major life functions and social relationships were obtained during a 10-year follow-up of 371 depressed patients, disability was pervasive and chronic, but disappeared when patients became asymptomatic (Judd et al 2000a).…”

“…Several studies have investigated the issue of whether increased DAS scores can be seen as a trait marker in depression -for example, that they would remain increased in remission. A few studies of clinically depressed patients indicate that the DAS score is independent of state (4,5); however, most studies, including our own (6), suggest a state-dependent nature of the scale (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18).…”

Oslo. ISSN 0803-9488.The aim of this study was twofold: to test the state-dependency hypothesis by studying changes in ratings of cognitive distortion in relation to treatment response and to investigate the predictive value of ratings of cognitive distortion for treatment response. Twenty-six subjects with major depression were assessed with the Swedish versions of the Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (DAS) and the Automatic Thought Questionnaire (ATQ) before and after a 6-week period of psychopharmacologic treatment. The results support state dependency of cognitive distortion in depression. A predictive value of the cognitive measurements for treatment response was not supported.

“…Dysfunctional attitudes, as cognitive vulnerabilities, interact with adverse life events to affect depression (22). Current research showed that dysfunctional attitudes are not only related to the severity of depression and the risk of recurrence (23) but can also persist as stable features (24) and mediate the impact of childhood traumas on depression (25).…”

BackgroundChildhood traumas are well-established risk factors for major depressive disorder (MDD). However, the relationship between childhood traumas types and MDD symptoms is unclear. The present study tested the hypothesis that childhood traumas affect specific types of anhedonia in depression and the mediating role of dysfunctional attitude.MethodsWithin this cross-sectional study, 310 young adult patients with MDD completed the PHQ-9, CTQ-SF, DAS, and SHAPS. The statistical analyses used the Mann-Whitney U test, Spearman's rank correlation, and multiple regression analysis. Mediation analyses were tested by the structural equation model (SEM).ResultsSpearman's rank correlation analysis showed positive correlations between the SHAPS, CTQ-SF, and DAS total score (p < 0.05). The EA, EN, PN, and SHAPS scores were positively correlated (p < 0.05). Among the four factors of anhedonia, social interaction and interest/pastimes were positively correlated with EA, EN, and PN (p < 0.05), the sensory experience was positively correlated with EN (p < 0.01), and diet did not correlate with childhood traumas. Stepwise regression analysis showed that dysfunctional attitude and emotional neglect were the main influencing factors of sensory experience (p < 0.001) and social interaction (p < 0.001). Dysfunctional attitude and physical neglect were the main factors influencing interest/pastimes (p < 0.001). SEM analysis found that dysfunctional mediated between childhood traumas and anhedonia.ConclusionsThe degree of anhedonia was related to dysfunctional attitudes and childhood traumas. The childhood emotional neglect experience was the most important and was related to sensory and social anhedonia. Dysfunctional attitudes played a mediating role between childhood neglect and anhedonia. Early psychotherapy targeting young adult MDD patients with childhood emotional neglect may help decrease symptoms of anhedonia.
