This study explores the role of mood disorders’ symptoms salinece

on different types of defensemechanisms (mature, neurotic, imma-

ture) predominance. Total of 255 both clinical and non-clinical

participants in Mostar, Bosnia & Herzegovina, completed a Defense

Style Questionnaire (DSQ-40; Andrews, Singh & Bond, 1993) and

Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI; Beck, Steer & Brown, 1996). The

sample was additionally divided into four groups, given the level of

symptoms experienced: 1. Minimal, 2. Mild, 3. Moderate, 4. Severe

depression. Results show that participants with minimal depres-

sive symptoms use mature defense mechanisms more often than

other three groups. Immature mechanisms are most commonly

used by the groupwith severe depression levels in comparisonwith

other groups. These differences are discussed within the dynamic

level of analysis to have a better understanding of the relationship

between defense mechanisms’ maturity and the degree of mood

disorders’ symptom severity. In addition, these results could serve

as an implication for the future therapeutic treatment plans.

Introduction

A considerable amount of studies support the asso-

ciation of depression with nutritional factors, especially fruit and

vegetables. Little evidence exists concerning mood and nutritional

habits of pregnant women in Greece.

Objective

Our specific objective was to examine potential rela-

tionships between fruit and vegetable consumption and depression

in pregnant women.

Aims

The overall aim of this study was to investigate the nutri-

tional habits and the depression level of healthy pregnant women

in Greece.

Method

Eighty-eight healthy pregnant women, aged 25–44 years

(mean

±

standard deviation: 32.41

±

3.9), were studied with the aid

of a questionnaire addressing eating habits and the BeckDepression

Inventory (BDI).

Results

Twenty-four women were found having mild to mod-

erate depression (score 20–24, according to BDI) associated with

lower consumption of salads (

P

< 0.05). No association was found

between depression and consumption of fruit or fruit juices, or

prescribed supplements (Ca, Fe, Mg, folic acid).

Conclusion

Interestingly, in our sample an association of depres-

sion in pregnancy was found with the consumption of salads but

not fruit or fruit juices. The presence of vitamin B in vegetables is

one of the factors differentiating them from fruit. So it might be a

crucial element for further research.

Introduction

Depressive symptoms in pregnancy are risk fac-

tors for postpartum depression and associated to adverse child

outcomes (Glover, 2014). Depressive symptoms decreases after

participation in mindfulness and self-compassion based interven-

tions for pregnant women (e.g. Goodman et al., 2014). However,

apart from intervention trials, there are not studies on the rela-

tionship between mindfulness, self-compassion and depressive

symptoms in pregnancy (Zoeterman, 2014).

Objective

To explore the association between mindfulness, self-

compassion and depressive symptoms in pregnant women.

Methods

Four hundred and twenty-seven pregnant women

(mean age: 32.56

±

4.785 years) in their second trimester of preg-

nancy completed a set of self-report questionnaires validated for

pregnancy: Facets of Mindfulness Questionnaire-10 ([FMQ-10];

Azevedo et al., 2015; to evaluate Nonjudging of experience/NJ,

acting with awareness (AA) and observing and describing (OD),

Self-Compassion Scale ([SCS]; Bento et al., 2015; to evaluate

self-kindness, self-judgment, common humanity [CH], isolation,

mindfulness and over-identification [OD]) and PostpartumDepres-

sion Screening Scale-24 (PDSS-24; Pereira et al., 2013). Only

variables significantly correlated with the outcomes were entered

in the multiple regression models.

Results

FMQ-10 and SCS Total scores were both significant

predictors of PDSS-24 (

B

= –0.294,–0.272). Derealization and fail-

ure predictors were NJ and Isolation (

B

= –0.234; 0.384); Suicidal

ideation predictor was NJ, OD and isolation (

B

= –0.152;–0.115;

0.334); concentration difficulties and anxiety predictors were iso-

lation and CH (

B

= 0.296;–0.201); Sleep difficulties predictors were

AA and isolation (

B

= –0.199; 0.248) (all

P

< 0.05).

Conclusions

Mindfulness and self-Ccompassion dimensions, par-

ticularly nonjudging of experience, acting with awareness,

observing and describing are protective correlates of antenatal

depressive symptoms. Isolation is a correlate of PD in pregnancy.
