“…Considering the results, and the multiple dimensions through which it is possible to understand depression as a clinical and heterogeneous phenomenon (Van Praag, 2010;Fuller-Thomson et al, 2016;Milaneschi et al, 2016), the aim of the therapeutic work is to determine what it means to suffer depression for each patient in particular (with his/her requirements, strengths, and risks). Therefore, the role played by personality functioning in the relationship between depressive symptomatology and risk factors is fundamental for diagnosis, intervention, and prognosis.…”

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.

“…As previously described elsewhere (Fuller-Thomson, Lewis, & Agbeyaka, 2016;Fuller-Thomson, Agbeyaka, LaFond, & Bern-Klug, 2016), this study was a secondary analysis of the nationally representative 2012 Canadian Community Health Survey-Mental Health (CCHS-MH). The purpose of the CCHS-MH was to examine mental health status, service utilization, functioning and disability, and sociodemographic factors that influence mental health.…”

“…The risk of mental disorders in populations, most notably depression, does not occur randomly in developed nations. Rather, the gradient of risk is steeply slanted toward the disadvantaged [155][156][157][158][159]. From the nutritional perspective, childhood adversities (which already increase risk of later-life NCDs) predict subsequent unhealthy dietary choices in adulthood [160].…”

Abstract:Recognizing the importance of nutrition as part of the grand challenges faced by humanity-the current epidemic of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), sustainability and maintenance of Planetary Health-the United Nations (UN) has declared 2016-2025 the Decade of Nutrition. Research continues to underscore the extent to which ultra-processed foods dominate the contemporary nutritional landscape. Moreover, the dual role played by food technology and marketing in the expansion of ultra-processed foods is under increased scrutiny. As public health experts and clinicians contend with a crisis of NCDs, attempting to untangle a knotted assortment of interrelated strands of causation, an examination of the early origins of highly-marketed ultra-processed foods can provide valuable lessons. Here, we illuminate a little-known piece of history in the annals of ultra-processed nutritional science and childhood welfare. Astrofood was a commercially-marketed, collaborative government-industry effort that brought soy protein-enriched Twinkies as a nutritive breakfast cake to disadvantaged children; its concept and delivery demonstrated an unwillingness to deal with root-cause challenges. Although its official tenure was only about 7 years, we argue that Astrofood and its total food engineering still resonate throughout the global ultra-processed nutritional landscape. New scientific advances in nutritional psychiatry and the microbiome are on a collision course with the profits, marketing and intellectual dishonesty of the ultra-processed food industry. Solutions to the grand challenges of the Decade of Nutrition may be found in lessons from Astrofood. They provide clues to undoing the tangled knots which otherwise maintain an untenable status quo.
