  1. Mood Disorders - Major depressive Disorder - Bipolar Disorders - Dysthymia - Cyclothymia - Other mood disorders

  2. I- Major depression - Primary disturbance in mood - Syndromes rather than disease - Occur in cyclic fashion - Lost sense of control

  3. DSM IV Classification of mood disorders - Major depressive disorder ( unipolar depression ) = 2 weeks - Hypomania = 4 days - Bipolar I (Mania for 1 week, alternating episodes of Mania+ Mania, Mania+ MDD) - Bipolar II( Hypomania+ MDD) - Mixed episode = 1 week

  4. Epidemiology A-Prevalence - Life time prevalence MDD 10-15% in women Bipolar I = 0.4-1.6% 5-12% in men Bipolar II =0.5% B- Sex In MDD -Women : Men = 2:1 Why? Child birth, hormonal differences, psychosocial stressors In Bipolar - Women = men C- Mean age of onset Bipolar I = 30 years MDD = 40 years

  5. D- Marital Status More in single, divorced, separated, poor interpersonal relations E-Socioeconomic Status No correlation for MDD, bipolar more in high SES Depression more in rural areas

  6. Etiology A- Biological Factors 1- Biogenic amines ( levels in blood, urine,CSF) Heterogeneous dysregulation of the biogenic amines Low nor epinephrine, Serotonin in depression, Low dopamine in depression and high in mania Others, GABA, Glutamate 2- Neuroendocrinal dysregulation - Adrenal Axis ( Non suppression of dexamethasone suppression test) - Thyroid Axis Antithyroid antibodies, low thyroid hormones, development of rapid cycler

  7. 3- Sleep EEG abnormalities • Delayed sleep onset , short rapid eye movement( REM ) Latency, Increased duration of 1st REM period, abnormal Delta sleep 4- Neuroimmune dysregulation 5- Brain imaging studies Enlarged ventricles and small frontal lobes, Diminished cerebral blood flow

  8. 6- Genetic factors Genetic evidence through family studies, adoption studies, twin studies. Molecular biology: involvement of chromosome;5,11,18,X. B- Psychosocial factors - Life stressor commonly precede the occurrence of first MDD and bipolar disorder. - Life events common in past history of patients : Loss of parent before the age of11 years, loss of spouse , unemployment.
