The present data suggest that, for GPs at least, finding it rewarding to look after patients with depression is correlated with more positive attitudes towards psychotherapy and with a less strong belief in a biological basis for depression.
While she remains doubtful about evidence of a biological basis for depression, Rowe thinks of herself as a scientist, and suggests hopefully that the vast gulf between scientific understanding of the brain and ideas about the mind is narrowing.
Moreover, alterations of prefrontal cortical activity are considered as an important causal factor for major depression [22], which provides a basis for the treatment of depression with brain stimulation [23].
However, the PHQ9 is widely used within UK primary care as a basis for diagnosis and treatment of depression, so our approach has good external validity.
In addition, a Swedish study estimated the heritability of depression the degree to which individual differences in occurrence are associated with genetic differences to be around 40% for women and 30% for men, and evolutionary psychologists have proposed that the genetic basis for depression lies deep in the history of naturally selected adaptations.
Therefore, in-depth study on prevalence and associated factors of depression is urgently needed to provide scientific basis for depression prevention and treatment targeted at underground coal miners.
Indeed differential coping styles of men and women [ 111] may contribute at least in part to depressive symptoms; however, several studies have cited not only the bidirectional nature of depression and disease [ 14, 53, 87], but the biological basis for depression within disease [ 95, 112, 113].
As the "monoamine hypothesis" proposes that the underlying biological basis for depression is depletion of central noradrenergic, serotonergic, and dopaminergic systems [ 3], thus genes implicated in the metabolism or kinetics of monoamine neurotransmitter system, including the serotonin (5-HT) and dopamine (DA), are good candidates for studying the association with affective disorder [ 4].
This self-focused cognitive tendency may constitute a basis for rumination style preferentially prevalent in depression [ 55].
These results provide a basis for designing preventive interventional programs to decrease depression among older women living alone in Korea.
Economic depression, factional political disputes, and the French Indochina War provided a basis for consistent attacks from both the communists and the Gaullists.
