“…The present study explored the relationship between risk factors for depression, personality functioning, and depressive symptomatology. One of the first results was that impairments on personality functioning were associated with a greater presence of depressive symptoms, being consistent with previous studies (Bender et al, 2011;Ehrenthal et al, 2012;Zimmermann et al, 2012;Morey et al, 2013;Dagnino et al, 2017).…”

“…This may be key for clinical interventions, since there is greater probability that impairments as vulnerability (personality functioning) must be worked on initially or throughout the process, and not the risk factor itself. This is consistent with studies that relate depression and personality (Klein et al, 2011;Dagnino et al, 2017) and approaches that explain the relationship between these constructs from a "pathoplastic" explanation; proposing that personality would have an influence on how depression is expressed, in terms of severity and response to treatment, among others (Klein et al, 2011).…”

“…From a clinical perspective, it is relevant to achieve knowledge both of the vulnerabilities that underlies symptomatology (in this case, personality functioning) and of the risk factors, especially the ACE. This, in order to be able to make an approach that not only addresses the current symptomatic manifestation of the patient, but also takes a complete look at its complexity and heterogeneity, including interventions that are conducive to the patient's profile, enriching an idiosyncratic and patient-centered treatment (Van Praag, 1989;Gabbard and Simonsen, 2007;Dagnino et al, 2017).…”

“…Depression can be a very complex phenomenon. Risk factors are important to comprehend the onset, recurrence and prevalence of depression, but depression is a very heterogeneous syndrome (see e.g., de Vos et al, 2015;Fried and Nesse, 2015;Dagnino et al, 2017;Rantala et al, 2018) that must be accounted for having a personalized or tailored made treatment. In general terms, complex depression refers to the interaction between depression and personality, since more symptoms, like suicide or drug abuse will have a connection with the presence of personality disorders correlating with greater severity of depression (Klein et al, 2011;Clarkin et al, 2019).…”

“…Finally, other studies report that depressive styles such as self-critical and dependent (Blatt, 2004) will develop predispositions to stressors and show different responses for treatment (Dagnino et al, 2018), as well as personality vulnerabilities that are specific to each type of depressive style (OPD Working Group, 2008;Dagnino et al, 2017;De la Parra et al, 2017).…”

Risk Factors for Adult Depression: Adverse Childhood Experiences and Personality Functioning

Background: Depressive disorder is one of the main health problems worldwide. Many risk factors have been associated with this pathology. However, while the association between risks factors and adult depression is well established, the mechanisms behind its impact remains poorly understood. A possible, yet untested explanation is the mediating impact of levels of personality functioning, i.e., impairments with regard to self and interpersonal.Method: Around 162 patients were assessed at the beginning of their therapy, with regard to risk factors, such as sociodemographic, physical, hereditary (Information Form), and adverse childhood experiences (ACE; CTQ). Depressive symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory, BDI) and personality functioning (OPD-SQ) were also measured. Associations between the related variables as well as other possible covariates were examined by means of zero-order correlations and bootstrapping-based mediation analysis.Results: Of all the risk factors taken into account, level of education and physical illness were associated with depression. On the other hand, the most significant predictor of depressive symptomatology was ACE, and this relationship was mediated by personality functioning. This indicates that patients presenting adverse childhood experiences are more likely to develop deficiencies in personality functioning, which in turn increases their likelihood of developing depressive symptomatology.Conclusion: These results reaffirm the importance of incorporating risk and vulnerability factors such as personality functioning in understanding depression.

Background: Chile is a highly religious country. Although a majority of the population describes itself as Catholic, there has been a substantial growth in Evangelism, especially among indigenous people. In this context, the aim of this study is to analyse the relationship between Catholic and Evangelical religiosity in terms of identity and practices and depressive symptoms in the Mapuche and non-indigenous Chilean population. Methods: The study was conducted using secondary data from the Longitudinal Intercultural Relations Study of 2017, estimating linear regressions to explain variations on the PHQ-9 scale between the adult Mapuche and non-indigenous Chilean population by first including the controls variables, followed by religious identification, churchgoing, and prayer. Results: Social support, good health, and age showed a negative association with PHQ-9 in both groups. Being a woman and not having a partner were only positively related with depression in the non-indigenous group. A negative association was found between Evangelical religious identity and depressive symptoms among the Mapuche population, while churchgoing was negatively associated and prayer was positively associated with depression in the non-indigenous group. Conclusions: The findings confirm that religiosity is a protective factor against depressive symptomology in the Chilean population. However, the analysis reveals significant ethnic differences.
