Prevention of depression Sample Clauses

Prevention of depression. Prevention is described as ‘to stop something from happening’ (Longman dictionary of contemporary English, 1988). The old system proposed in 1957 by the Commission on Chronic Illness Prevention consisted of three types: primary prevention aimed at decreasing the number of new cases (incidence). The aim of secondary prevention was lowering the number of established cases (prevalence) and tertiary prevention focused on decreasing the amount of disability associated with an existing disorder. In this classification system only primary prevention seems to fit the Longman definition of prevention. Secondary prevention corresponds with treatment and tertiary prevention with maintenance care. Currently the term prevention is reserved for what used to fall under primary prevention. It is divided into three categories (Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx, 1994): Universal prevention when it is a measure for the general public or all members of specific groups (pregnant women, elderly, teenage girls). The measures have an educational character. Selective prevention aims at people at risk for developing a mental disorder, but who are at the time (mentally) perfectly well. Risk can pertain to biological, psychological or social factors which are related to the disorder. In this study: older people with lifetime depression, but who are currently well. Widowhood or physical illness adds to the older person’s vulnerability for depression. Indicated prevention is meant for high-risk individuals who show minimal but detectable signs of illness; however the DSM criteria are not met. Elderly with subthreshold depression would be candidates.
