ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: We use the biopsychosocial model of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF): a) to analyze functioning and disability patterns in unipolar depression cases attended in primary care settings; b) to study predictive and mediator variables related to disability in depression, and c) to determine the impact of traditional interventions in depression cases using functional remission as outcome measure. DESIGN: Naturalistic, prospective, longitudinal. SETTING: Multicenter study in primary care. Health Area 2. Region of Madrid. PARTICIPANTS: Adult patients with a diagnosis of unipolar depression who initiate psychopharmacological treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) in primary care sites. Patients with history of bipolar disorders, psychotic disorders, dementias, and dependence of toxic substances will be excluded. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: Level of functioning and disability in different domains of well-being assessed through ICF related instruments. Stressful life events, social support and cognitive schemes will be analyzed as mediator variables. Socio-demographic and clinical characteristics, psychopharmacological treatment and treatment compliance are considered independent factors. DISCUSSION AND PRACTICAL USE: Selection bias may affect the generalization of the results. The biopsychosocial model underlying the ICF and its methodology are applied to the study of depression in primary care settings for the first time in Spain. Improving our understanding of disability related factors in depressive patients is expected. This study is one of the main research priorities of the EU (MHADIE project).

ABSTRACT

Los trastornos psiquiátricos constituyen la principal causa de insomnio en la población general. Curiosamente, se ha prestado escasa atención a la tipología de estos trastornos en el período crítico de la vida que transcurre entre los 40 y los 60 años. En los últimos años, esta población ha constituido un nuevo foco de interés, sobre todo a raíz de la publicación de una serie de estudios longitudinales efectuados en la población general. Ello coincide con nuevos planteamientos en la agrupación nosológica de estos trastornos, basados en el concepto de espectros. En el presente artículo se revisa la tipología, características generales, y abordaje de los trastornos mentales en la edad media de la vida, se dan pautas generales de su valoración para médicos no especialistas en psiquiatría, así como su relación con factores sociodemográficos, y con parámetros globales de desenlace como la mortalidad y la longevidad. Se revisan también las estrategias de intervención específicas en este grupo de población (AU)
