“…Research identifying different developmental trajectories of depressive symptoms in adolescents sheds light on the episodic versus chronic (stability) nature of depression (Heath & Camarena, 2002; Holsen et al, 2000). Heath and Camarena conducted a 3-year longitudinal study with 268 adolescents using six half-yearly measurements starting during the fall of sixth grade, and using quantitative and qualitative methods, identified six separate trajectories.…”

“…However, recent research focusing on the episodic versus chronic nature of depressive symptomatology has implications for studying the prediction of adolescent depression. Different developmental trajectories may exist among adolescents and analyses based on a single point-in-time measurement of depressive symptomatology may underestimate the strength of predictors (Heath & Camarena, 2002; Holsen, Kraft, & Vitterso, 2000). While these studies have been important in identifying different stability or episodic patterns of depression during adolescence, childhood risk factors that may be precursors or may differentiate individuals on various developmental depressive phenomena trajectories have not been examined.…”

Few studies have examined risk factors of childhood and early adolescent depressive symptomatology trajectories. This study examined self-report depressive symptomatology across a 6-year time period from 2nd to 8th grade to identify latent groups of individuals with similar patterns of depressive phenomena in a sample of 951 children (440 girls, 511 boys). Analyses, using semiparametric group modeling (SGM), identified 5 trajectory groups for girls and boys: low depressed stables, low depressed risers, mildly depressed stables, moderately depressed changers, and moderately depressed risers. Individual risk factors, with the exception of shy/ withdrawn behavior, were significantly different across trajectory group membership for boys and girls, as was low-income status for boys. Boys in the low depressed and mildly depressed stable trajectory groups had significantly higher levels of antisocial behavior, attention problems, and lower social competency compared to girls in similar groups. These results suggest that universal prevention programs implemented in early elementary school that target selected risk factors may be helpful in reducing future adolescent mental health problems, specifically depressive symptomatology. KeywordsTrajectories; Children's Depression; Early Risk Factors Depression in children and adolescents continues to be a serious problem (Jellinek & Snyder, 1998) and has been a major focus for youth mental health prevention and intervention programs (Lewinsohn, Gotlib, & Seeley, 1995;Reinherz, Giaconia, Carmola Hauf, Wasserman, & Paradis, 2000). The prevalence of major depressive disorder in elementary school children ranges from 2% to 5% (Reynolds & Johnston, 1994) and increases significantly to 15% to 20% among adolescents (Lewinsohn, Clarke, Seeley, & Rohde, 1994). Understanding the early risk factors would be an important first step for developing prevention and intervention programs.Correspondence regarding this article and requests for reprints should be directed to James J.

Author manuscript; available in PMC 2011 June 1. NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author ManuscriptThe focus of research on depression is complicated by the lack of a standard definition in using the term "depression" (Compas, Ey, & Grant, 1993), thus making it difficult to compare results of research across studies. One approach to mitigate the confusion has been to use three categories that represent the continuum of depression and/or depressive symptomatology: depressed mood, depressive syndrome, and depressive disorders (Compas et al., 1993;Hammen & Compas, 1994). These categories are not mutually exclusive and have been collectively referred to as depressive phenomena (see Compas et al., 1993 for more detail). For consistency purposes of this literature review, we will refer to depressive categories when they a...

“…Early adolescents are moving in and out of the world of childhood and looking for guidelines to define their new status. As such, early adolescence has been identified as a period of heightened risk for the development of depressed mood (Clarizio, 1994;Heath & Camarena, 2000). For youth with HIV-infected parents, this is also a time when many parents choose to disclose their HIV infection (Armistead, Tannenbaum, Forehand, Morse, & Morse, 2001;.…”

Rates of mental health problems in mothers and children in families affected by maternal HIV as compared to those not affected by maternal HIV but living in similar inner-city, low-SES, primarily ethnic-minority neighborhoods were examined. In addition, correspondence between mother and child mental health was explored. Interviews were conducted with 220 mother/child dyads regarding symptoms of depression and anxiety. Participants included HIV-negative early adolescents (ages 10 through 14 years) and their mothers, approximately half of whom were HIV-positive. Overall, mothers with HIV exhibited more depressive symptomatology than uninfected mothers. There were no significant differences, however, in depressive symptomatology between children of mothers who were HIV-positive and children of mothers who were HIV-negative. Among families directly affected by HIV, mothers who disclosed their status to their children endorsed greater depressive symptomatology than those who did not disclose and children who had been disclosed to were more likely to score in the clinically depressed range on the Child Depression Inventory than those who did not know. Latina mothers and their children were at increased risk for both depression and anxiety symptoms, particularly in families where the mother was not born in the United States. The results corroborate previous findings with HIV-infected women that highlight the mental health needs of HIV-infected mothers and their children, particularly children that know their mothers' status.

“…Correct diagnosis is of the utmost importance since the treatment of one kind of disorder could negatively affect the course of another disorder. Some diagnoses frequently made in the case of bipolar disorders are short attention span and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), behavioral disability, anxiety, disorder, and use of harmful substances (Hangaard, 2004, p. 34;Heath & Camarena, 2002;p. 254;Kaplan, Sadock & Grebb, 1994, pp.…”

This article deals with the impact of emotional intelligence on human modeling therapy that is used as a point of departure. Human modeling therapy is a creative therapeutic technique during which something new is created from material that already exists. The possible relationship between emotional intelligence and creativity made human modeling and creativity a suitable form of therapy for the purposes of this study. The BarOn EQ-i: YV TM was used as a measuring instrument to determine the emotional intelligence of the youth in this study.
