Gender Differences in Trajectories of Depressive Symptoms Among Talkspace Clients: Naturalistic Observational Study

Gender minority populations, including transgender, nonbinary, and gender-diverse individuals, experience increased risk of depression relative to cisgender counterparts due to chronic exposure to structural and interpersonal stressors [1,2].

A Mobile Game Intervention for Young Persons Living With HIV and Depression in Nigeria: Protocol for a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

A Mobile Game Intervention for Young Persons Living With HIV and Depression in Nigeria: Protocol for a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Young people living with HIV also bear a disproportionate burden of depression compared to the general population, which is a key driver of poor HIV outcomes such as higher rates of interruptions in care, medication nonadherence, virologic failure, and progression of HIV [4-7]. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)–based interventions are highly effective in treating depression and have been successfully used across the age spectrum from adolescents to older people [8-10].

Depression and Anxiety Outcomes in a Technology-Enabled Psychotherapy Practice: Retrospective Cohort Study

During onboarding, 98% of all patients are screened for depression and anxiety using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) [27] and General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) [28], and 48% and 45% of patients meet the clinical cutoff of ≥10 on these measures, respectively. Of those with a positive screen on either measure, 84% start care within 30 days.

Prevalence and Factors Associated With Depression Among Antenatal and Postnatal Women Attending Government Health Clinics in Selangor, Malaysia: Protocol for a Cross-Sectional Study

Early childhood is a critical period for brain development, and maternal depression can have a detrimental effect during this time. A few studies show that women are particularly susceptible to depression during the antenatal and postnatal periods. Depression can be due to hormonal changes and various psychosocial factors [1]. As a result, depression is more frequently reported in pregnant women than in those who are not pregnant [2].

The Critical Moderating Role of Cognitive Function in Digital Inclusion: Data Analysis Study on Depression Risk Among Older Adults

The Critical Moderating Role of Cognitive Function in Digital Inclusion: Data Analysis Study on Depression Risk Among Older Adults

Longitudinal research documents bidirectional relationships between cognitive function and depression in later life, with cognitive decline predicting increased depression risk and depressive symptoms accelerating cognitive deterioration [25]. If digital engagement is associated with enhanced cognitive function through stimulation and learning, as suggested by cognitive reserve research [16], this might create indirect protective effects against depression.

Chatbots’ Empathetic Conversations and Responses: A Qualitative Study of Help‑Seeking Queries on Depressive Moods Across 8 Commercial Conversational Agents

Chatbots’ Empathetic Conversations and Responses: A Qualitative Study of Help‑Seeking Queries on Depressive Moods Across 8 Commercial Conversational Agents

Depression is a severe illness that affects around 280 million people globally [1]. The COVID-19 pandemic worsened the situation, with an estimated 27.6% increase in cases of major depressive disorder [2]. Individuals with depression symptoms may avoid seeking medical help due to cost, time, possible side effects of medication, and social stigma [3]. The resulting unmet need for depression support has increased the demand for alternative services.

Leveraging No-Code Digital Platforms for Designing an Integrated Smartphone-Based Ecological Momentary Intervention With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Mental Health Care: Development and Usability Study

Beyond difficulties among the general population [11,12], the maintenance of health-related behavior change can be even more challenging in people with subclinical and clinical mental health symptoms, wherein motivational deficits and anhedonia reflect cardinal symptoms of various psychiatric conditions, such as major depression, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, eating disorders, and posttraumatic stress disorder [13].

Culturally Tailored Tele–Mental Health Care Linkage for Indigenous Populations: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Pilot Study

Culturally Tailored Tele–Mental Health Care Linkage for Indigenous Populations: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Pilot Study

The most significant mental health concerns facing urban Indigenous communities include a high prevalence of substance use disorders [5], depression, suicide, anxiety [6], and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) [2]. For example, estimates of rates of PTSD among Indigenous people range from 16% to 24% [7-9], which is 3 times the rate of lifetime PTSD among the general population [10], and rivals the lifetime rate (29%) among US veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan [11].
