“…The bio-psycho-social model is a popular framework that explains the etiology of depression 47,48) , in which the biological system refers to the molecular substrates of disease, the psychological system refers to a vulnerable personality or negative cognition, and the social system includes environmental, cultural, and familial influences. Besides well-established biological and psychological factors, social factors also play an important role in causing depression 32,49) , and our findings support the notion that job stress may be a key element in the social causality between work environment and depression among workers.…”

Adverse mental health conditions among physiciansincluding stress, burnout, and depression-can result in errors in professional conduct and interfere with the quality of healthcare provision [1][2][3] . Physicians are usually exposed to high levels of occupational stress resulting from heavy workloads and high levels of time pressure, and those in certain employment positions or specialties are at higher risk of suffering from depression disorders than the general population 4,5) . High occupational stress and depression within physicians can even lead to higher suicide ideation or suicide rates 6,7) .Among various risk factors in the work environment, job stress is central to workers' daily lives; its asso- Abstract: This study assessed the levels and association of occupational stress and depression rate among physicians, and to compare physicians' occupational stress with that of Taiwanese employees in other occupations. The subjects were physicians employed at 14 participating regional hospitals in the Around Taiwan Health Care Alliance. Self-administered questionnaires capturing data on demographics, occupational characteristics, occupational stress measured using Job Content Questionnaire (C-JCQ), and health status measured using Taiwanese Depression Questionnaire (TDQ) were sent to eligible physicians. Results revealed that the depression rate (13.3%) was higher than that found in the general population (3.7%) of Taiwan. The mean scores of the JCQ dimensions "work demands" and "job control" were both much higher than those in most occupations in Taiwan. Higher depression scores were found in subjects with higher work demands, 8-10 d of being on duty per month, and more frequent alcohol consumption, while lower depression scores were found in subjects working in the east Taiwan area, with higher job control and with greater workplace social support. On the other hand, gender, smoking, and working hour were not independently correlated with depression, but the interaction of gender and job control also had an independent effect on depression. This study suggests that job stress plays an important role in depression in physicians; it is necessary to pay attention to physicians at high risk of depression, as well as their work environments, for early detection and intervention.

“…The concept of emergence is implicit in much of the thinking about how behavioral styles and patterns of cognition arise from the non-linear interaction of underlying factors ranging from the molecular, anatomical, and symptom levels. Applications of complexity science to personality theory [Mandell and Selz, 1995], anti-social behavior [Warren and Knox, 2000], depression [Garcia-Toro and Aguirre, 2007], schizophrenia [Bender et al, 2006;Globus and Arpaia, 1994;Paulus and Braff, 2003], and dyslexia [Fisher, 2006] have appeared. In Down syndrome, Fidler [2006] has posited the emergence of a personality-motivation profile from cross-domain interactions of more primary aspects.…”

Although most research on autistic behavior has considered autism categorically, the increasingly apparent genetic and phenotypic complexities of autism are prompting a more dimensional approach to this area. The long-standing interest in a less categorical approach is made clear from a review of literature. The accumulating empirical support for viewing autism-related phenomena as separable and fractionable is outlined and includes data indicating that many of the behaviors occur in isolation in family members and the general population, are not highly correlated within individuals, and appear to be inherited separately. However, it is emphasized that some of the most common and characteristic phenomena observed in individuals diagnosed with autism do not run in their families. It is suggested that these novel, ''emergent,'' phenomena may arise in the individual from interacting configurations of co-occurring traits or from the interaction of genetic and biological factors underlying the traits. A number of autism-related phenomena including intellectual disability, seizures, persistence of primitive reflexes, stereotypies, self-injurious behavior, savant abilities, and morphological abnormalities, among others, are discussed as potentially being emergent. It is concluded that consideration of the role of emergence in autistic behavior and related phenomena should complement a reductionist approach and might help illuminate the components and complexities of autism.

“…Depression is a bio-psychosocial disorder and so there is a wide spectrum of psychosocial factors that affect it (51). Using the results of this study, it seems that intervening on some modifiable aspects of psychosocial factors can reduce depression in later life.…”

Context: Depression is a major health problem in geriatric population and has many adverse consequences. The aim of this study was to review the existing literature on psychosocial factors that protect against depression in later life.Evidence Acquisition: A MEDLINE systematic search was done via Pubmed and Sciencedirect web pages to gather the published articles on psychosocial factors of late life depression First, the titles and abstracts reviewed and relevant articles were selected according to the inclusion criteria. Then full texts of the selected articles obtained, read, and data were extracted and categorized.Results: There were 204 articles on psychosocial factors of late life depression in community dwelling older adults and among them 29 articles included protective factors. Reading them carefully, protective factors were extracted and organized into 5 main categories: Demographic factors, psychological factors, social factors, health related factors and also spiritual factors. Conclusion:Psychosocial factors protecting older adults against depression are diverse. Identification of the modifiable ones and provision of appropriate interventions to enhance them, can be helpful in preventing geriatric depression.
