“…Correlations between all scales administered for this report are presented in Table 1. According to the CESD, 64 individuals endorsed clinical levels of depression based on a cut-off value of 21 [56]. In addition, 78 individuals endorsed clinical levels of social anxiety according to the LSAS based on a cut-off value of 60 [57].…”

Responses to affect subtypes differentially associate with anxious and depressive symptom severity

Responses to affect include cognitive processes (i.e., perseverative vs. non-perseverative) and valence (i.e., modulation of positive vs. negative affect). However, little research has examined how the factor structure of responses to affect is defined along one or both of these dimensions. The present study conducted an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) of items from assessments of repetitive negative thinking, rumination on positive affect (PA), and dampening. We also examined the associations between emergent factors and measures of depressive symptoms, social anxiety symptoms, and non-social state anxiety. EFA results suggested a three-factor model of repetitive negative thinking, dampening, and rumination on PA. There was a significant association between repetitive negative thinking and dampening factors, but not between other factors. Repetitive negative thinking and dampening were associated with greater internalizing symptoms, whereas rumination on PA was associated with fewer internalizing symptoms. These findings clarify the structure of these responses to affect and their differential associations with symptoms, which may be used to tailor cognitive interventions for anxiety and/or depression.

“…In addition, the p-values of the CES-D scores in the FR group decreased significantly (p < 0.0001) compared to that of FL groups (p < 0.001) after the intervention (Table 1). The CES-D is a widely used clinical testing tool for the presence of major depression and is known to be a good choice when sampling young adults with high levels of depressive symptoms [49,50].…”

Flavonoid-Rich Orange Juice Intake and Altered Gut Microbiome in Young Adults with Depressive Symptom: A Randomized Controlled Study

Depression is not just a general mental health problem but a serious medical illness that can worsen without treatment. The gut microbiome plays a major role in the two-way communication system between the intestines and brain. The current study examined the effects of flavonoids on depression by observing the changes in the gut microbiome and depressive symptoms of young participants consuming flavonoid-rich orange juice. The depressive symptom was assessed using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), a psychiatric screening tool used to detect preexisting mental disorders. The study population was randomly divided into two groups: the flavonoid-rich orange juice (FR) and an equicaloric flavonoid-low orange cordial (FL) group. For 8 weeks, participants consumed FR (serving a daily 380 mL, 600 ± 5.4 mg flavonoids) or FL (serving a daily 380 mL, 108 ± 2.6 mg flavonoids). In total, 80 fecal samples from 40 participants (mean age, 21.83 years) were sequenced. Regarding depression, we observed positive correlations between brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and the Lachnospiraceae family (Lachnospiraceae_uc and Murimonas) before flavonoid orange juice treatment. Most notably, the abundance of the Lachnospiraceae family (Lachnospiraceae_uc, Eubacterium_g4, Roseburia_uc, Coprococcus_g2_uc, Agathobacter_uc) increased after FR treatment compared to that after FL treatment. We also validated the presence of unclassified Lachnospiraceae through sensitive real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction using stool samples from participants before and after flavonoid treatment. Our results provide novel interventional evidence that alteration in the microbiome due to flavonoid treatment is related to a potential improvement in depression in young adults.

“…Of the tasks administered, Stroop color-word [interference] was the most difficult. Third, we used the same CES-D cut-off for men and women though some argue in favor of a lower cut-off for men than women 63 . Whether a different pattern of findings would emerge with sex-specific cutoffs is unknown.…”

Background: HIV-infected (HIV+) women appear to be more vulnerable to neurocognitive impairment than HIV+ men, perhaps in part due to mental health factors. We assessed the association between elevated depressive symptoms and NCI among HIV+ and HIV-uninfected (HIV-) women and men. Setting: Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) and Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS). Methods: 858 HIV+ (429 women; 429 men) and 562 HIV-(281 women; 281 men) completed the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D; 16 cutoff) scale and measures of psychomotor speed/attention, executive, and motor function over multiple visits (or time points). WIHS and MACS participants were matched according to HIV status, age, race/ethnicity, and education. Generalized linear mixed models were used to examine interactions between biological sex, HIV-serostatus, and depression on impairment (T-scores<40) after covariate adjustment. Results: Despite a higher frequency of depression among males, the association between depression and executive function differed by sex and HIV-serostatus. HIV+ women with depression had 5 times the odds of impairment on a measure of executive control and inhibition
