We investigated the association between cognitive performance and major depressive disorder (MDD) in adolescents seeking outpatient treatment. We used several tests comparing cognitive capacities between 16 adolescents with MDD and 25 adolescents not diagnosed as suffering from psychiatric illness according to the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R (SCID). No difference in neuropsychological test performance was found between adolescents with MDD and those without psychiatric diagnosis. Logistic regression analysis showed the only independent factor associated with MDD to be Emotional Tone (S2; odds ratio 1.13). The specific effects of MDD on the adolescents were restricted to the emotional area and were expressed as a broad deterioration in psychosocial functioning.

“…Many studies showed a relationship between self-perception and a depressive mood. 37,38 Despite the fact that childhood obesity and depression are frequently studied, both concepts were rarely associated with each other. So far, two studies 39,40 investigated the occurrence of depression in obese children.…”

OBJECTIVE:The presentation will successively deal with the psychological models to explain for the onset or maintenance of child obesity. DESIGN: Five psychological perspectives on childhood obesity are selected. The boundary model of Herman and Polivy (1980) was brought forward as an explanation model for understanding the overeating behaviour in obese people. Others describe obese children as over-responsive to external cues and this over-responsiveness is seen as a personality trait. Learning theories put forward how (dysfunctional) learning mechanisms can explain also why obese people eat in front of food cues, without feeling hungry. Finally, obesity can be seen as an expression of a family pathology or an emotional problem. CONCLUSIONS: Psychological explanation models are still subject of discussion. Personality variables, eating behaviour, restraint attitudes, psychopathlogy and emotional factors, learning mechanisms as well as the role of the family are to be considered in an assessment process. It may help to better empathize with both parent and child. Furthermore, it can help to tailor the treatment program to the individual needs of an obese child. Further research is needed to find out whether already during the intake psychological indicators can be found that are predictors of negative therapy outcome.

[35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44] Studies using the Youth Self Report, SDQ, YEDE-Q, EES-C and SRQ-20 reported overweight male and female adolescents as having psychopathological symptoms, suffering more from mental disorders, and reporting body dissatisfaction and problems in psychosocial functioning. [45][46][47][48][49] The inadequate adjustment in sexual attitudes revealed by the overweight adolescent girls in our study could be a result of dissatisfaction with their bodies, resulting in feelings of unattractiveness in comparison with the cultural 'standards' imposed by Western society.…”

Background and objective. Adolescence is considered a critical stage of life, and one during which body image and self-concept are of particular importance for peer acceptance and approval. Body weight may impact on satisfaction or dissatisfaction in adolescent girls’ self-concept. The aim of this research was to determine the association between obesity and self-concept among adolescent girls. Methods. The study sample consisted of 40 overweight (BMI 25 - 30) 18-year-old girls in their last year of high school. A further 40 girls of the same age with a BMI of 18 - 25 formed a control group. The Offer Self-Image Questionnaire for Adolescents (OSIQ) was used to evaluate their self-concept. Descriptive statistical methods used in analysing the data included calculation of the median and standard deviation of variables, and t-tests were used to compare group differences, with p<0.05 taken as the level of significance. Results. Statistically significant differences between two groups were found in two components of the OSIQ, sexual attitudes (p=0.044) and psychopathology (p=0.020), but no differences were found in other components such as impulse control, emotional tone, body and self-image, social relations, morals, family relations, mastery of the external world, vocational educational goals and superior adjustment. Conclusion. Our results suggest that overweight adolescent girls are less adjusted with regard to their sexual attitudes and present with more psychopathology as measured by the OSIQ compared with their peers of average weight.
