by the students. The data were collected using an information col-

lection form, PMS provisional diagnosis form, daily status record

form, Beck Depression Inventory. The data were analyzed using

descriptive and inferential statistics.

Results

The comparison of vitamin B1 group before the inter-

vention with that after the intervention showed that vitamin B1

reduced mean Depression related to PMS (42.06%) significantly

(

P

< 0.0001). Moreover, there was a significant difference between

vitamin B1 and placebo groups in terms of mean Depression, as

mean symptoms in vitamin B1 group was significantly lower than

that in the placebo group (

P

< 0.0001).

Conclusion

It seems that vitamin B1 is effective in recovery of

mental symptoms of PMS especially depression. Therefore, this

vitamin can be used to reach a major goal of midwifery, that is,

reduction of mental symptom severity of PMS, without any side

effects.

The relationship between anxiety,

depression and hopelessness among

nonclinical sample

Introduction

This research aims at examining the relationship

between anxiety, depression, and hopelessness among nonclini-

cal Kuwaiti sample using Beck Anxiety Inventory, Beck Depression,

and hopelessness inventories.

Objectives

highlighting the relationship between anxiety,

depression, and hopelessness among nonclinical sample of

females and males and the common factor/s.

Methods

The participants were 616 (308 females & 308 males),

Kuwait University students. The two genders were matched in age

(18.15

±

0.36 & 18.18

±

0.38,

t

= 0.94,

P

> .05) and BMI (24.12

±

3.27

& 23.50

±

4.85,

t

= 0.54,

P

> 0.5). The Arabic versions of the Beck Anx-

iety Inventory (BAI), Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), the Beck

Hopelessness Scale (BHS), and demographic surveys were admin-

istered to participants during classes. All participants read and

signed a consent form before participating. The correlation matri-

ces, exploratory factor analysis, and reliability analysis are used in

this study.

Results

Internal consistency of scores were satisfactory for the

BAI, BDI-II, & BHS inventories respectively (Cronbach’s alpha

(M) = 0.88, 0.75, 0.74 & (F) = 0.89, 0.84, 0.88). A correlation of

(

r

= 0.53) between the BAI and BDI-II and (

r

= 0.43) with BHS.

Meanwhile a correlation of (

r

= 0.58) between BDI-II & BHS. A

principal-axis factor analysis with oblique rotation suggested one

factor accounting for 67.73% of the common variance.

Conclusion

The results indicate that there is a strong relationship

between anxiety, depression and hopelessness. This highlights the

important of examining common factors between anxiety, depres-

sion and hopelessness among nonclinical sample.

Given the increase in depressive symptoms, as a mental disor-

der combined with an organic disease, we suggest a therapeutic

approach based on group therapy. The effectivity of this kind

of therapy has been confirmed by multiple studies as a way to

decrease the pressure in mental health units. The results reached

in various studies confirm at least an equal effectivity as individual

psychotherapy, thereby it optimizes the increasingly limited public

health resources. The objective of the group therapy is to promote

an active attitude in the patients and make them responsible of

their condition and their treatment process too. The program is

aimed to female patients with various kinds of clinical depression,

ranging from 40 to 60, who come to the USMC Hospital Vazquez

Diaz in Huelva. The group had 12 participants, it was led by a Clini-

cal Psychologist with the help of the Clinical Psychology residents.

The program consisted in 8 bimonthly sessions of 90minutes with

an assessment test/retest at the beginning and end of it. The work

in the group therapy was based on the constructivist orientation.

Different areas were treated as: identification and adaptive expres-

sion of emotions, strengthening self-esteemandproviding adaptive

coping strategies to the psychological distress. As a conclusion we

can see how the individual changes in the patients go socializing

and enhancing the change in the rest of the participants in a mutual

support that promote amore active role that take the patients away

of the initial passivity.

Introduction

Recurrent depressive disorder is heterogeneous in

respect to its etiology (predominantly exogenous or endoge-

nous). Patients with recurrent depressive disorder (RDD) may

change diagnosis to bipolar disorder (BD). Regarding the “true”

RDD there is the possibility that in most cases it is exogenous,

and the prevalence of endogenous RDD might be similar to BD.

There is still debate regarding useful criteria for distinguishing

between bipolar and monopolar depression especially at the first

episode.

Objectives

The purpose of the study is to identify useful

phenotypes that could help distinguishing between endogenous

monopolar and bipolar depression.

Methods

The study was carried out on patients diagnosed with

RDD and BD according to ICD 10 criteria. The following data was

analyzed: socio-demographic parameters, family psychiatric his-

tory, seasonality, suicidal attempts, and behavioral phenotypes

such as nicotine, alcohol, or illicit drug use.

Results

The study included 105 RDD and 74 BD patients. In the

RDD sample the mean age at disorder onset was 45.93 years,

while in the BD sample, was 32.45 years. Significant differences

between the samples were found in: family psychiatric history

(BD patients having more relatives with schizophrenia,

P

= 0.01),

smoking habits (BD patients smoking more cigarettes than RDD

patients,

P

= 0.001), and seasonal depression (mainly summer and

winter in RDD, and mainly summer and autumn in BD). No differ-

ences were found regarding suicidal attempts, alcohol or illicit drug

use.

Conclusions

Onset age, family psychiatric history, smoking

habits, and seasonality may reflect endogenous depression (BD or

RDD) or different subtypes of BD or RDD.
