본 연구에서는 MEDLINE에 수록된 논문의 암 관련 우울증 문헌을 대상으로 MeSH(Medical Subject Headings) 키워드를 이용하여 1992년부터 2011년까지 20년간의 연구 동향을 분석하였다. 암과 우울증에 해당하는 MeSH 키워드를 주제로 다룬 논문 3,389편과 50,778개의 키워드를 대상으로 주요 학술지 및 암 발병 위치와 우울증 치료요법을 분석하였다. 암 관련 우울증 논문의 암 발병 위치별 빈도는 유방암이 799편으로 가장 높았으며, 폐암, 전립선암, 뇌종양, 두경부암이 뒤를 이었다. 또한 우울증 치료 요법별 빈도는 비약물치료가 552편으로 약물치료 400편보다 높게 나타났으며 비약물치료는 크게 상담치료와 상담 외 치료에 대한 키워드로 구분되었고, 약물치료는 치료 요법명과 약명으로 다시 구분되었다.

Media coverage of depression, the mental disorder, is on the high rise following the soaring number of reported celebrity suicide. This study is an exploratory attempt to get a glance on how online news media are portraying depression. The content analysis results indicate that celebrity was the most cited source, outnumbering the others such as non-celebrity patients and experts. More than half of the sample attributed the cause of depression to socio-psychological factors. Medical consultation was the most reported means of treating depression among the sample, while over the half did not suggest any treatment methods at all. Overall, celebrity related news were less likely to talk about the cause and treatment methods. In addition, the more neuro-biological factors were designated as the main cause of depression in the articles, the more chances of treatment method of all kinds were brought up. The frame of human interest dominated a little less than half of the articles examined, and only few reported positive outcome or achievements after coping with depression.

본 연구는 마음챙김(Mindfulness)의 심리치료적 과정을 기술해 보고 현대인의 정신적 질병인 우울증에 대한 마음챙김의 치료효과를 검증하는데 있다. 마음챙김은 최근 미국을 중심으로 심리학과 정신의학 분야에서 크게 주목을 받고 있는 심리치료 프로그램이다. 마음챙김은 일상생활에서 well-being을 추구하는 정신건강에 효과가 있으며, 정신적 스트레스 감소와 임상치료에서 우울, 불안, 강박, 중독, PTSD, ADHD 등 각종 정신병리의 증상완화에도 치료에 효과가 있다고 밝혀졌다. 본 연구는 신경정신과에서 의뢰받은 3명의 내담자들을 대상으로 마음챙김 심리치료를 실시하고 그 결과를 분석하여 우울증에 대한 치료효과를 알아보았다. 내담자의 특성은 장기간 우울증을 겪고 있으며 약물을 복용하고 있는 50대 여성을 대상으로 하였고, 그 결과 마음챙김은 우울증으로 인한 우울감과 불안감, 반추적 성향, 정서조절 곤란 정도에서 감소되는 효과가 있었으며, 정신건강의 긍정적인 지표인 마음챙김 기술 척도는 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구 결과는 마음챙김이 인지행동치료 뿐만 아니라 약물치료를 대체하는 정신적 치료법으로도 효과가 있다는 시사점이 있다.

하필이면 왜 나인가?, "내가 어쩌다가 당뇨병 같은 불치병에 걸린 걸까?" 대부분의 사람들이 당뇨병을 처음 진단받고 하늘이 무너져 내리는 듯한 심정을 느낀다. 처음에는 깊은 분노감을 표출하고 점차적으로 시간이 지나면서 우울증의 늪에 빠지는 사람이 많다. 당뇨병환자는 우울증에 잠 걸리는데, 문체는 우울증이 있으면 당뇨병치료가 힘들어진다는 사실이다.

This paper investigated the biomedical medicalization of "depression"which is growing fast in Korea in terms of the treatment mechanism. Depression has been regarded as a mental disease that occurs with mixing various causations because what was the cause of this disease was not clarified until a recent date. Thus, as depression treatment, the medicine and the psycho-socio therapy have been used. However, from 1990s, as the brain science was introduced in the western society, and the high-tech diagnostic equipment of the brain disease and new drugs for the mental disease were developed, depression was rapidly redefined as 'the brain nerve system illness'that is easy to be taken and is able to obtain the permanent relief with the regular care. Under the influence of the redefinition of depression and the new treatment of it, recently, 8% of depression patients per year emerge as the aggressive cure subjects in the Korean psychiatric circle. However, according to the Korean psychiatric circle's unofficial calculation, it is estimated that only 10% of depression patients are receiving the accurate treatment but over 80% of the patients are not. If so, what does this estimation mean? Based on this question, this paper critically investigated the biomedical medicalization of depression.

Objectives : Several factors, such as biological markers, clinical correlates, and course of the depressive disorders with psychotic symptoms differ from those without psychotic symptoms. Therefore, specification of a treatment algorithm for depressive disorder with psychotic symptoms is legitimated. This article provides a systematic review of somatic treatments for depressive disorder with psychotic symptoms. Methods : According to the search strategy of the Clinical Research Center for Depression of Korean Health 21 R & D Project, first, PubMed and EMBASE were searched using terms with regard to the treatment of depressive disorders with psychotic symptoms(until July 2006). Reference lists of related reviews and studies were searched. In addition, relevant practice guidelines were searched using PubMed. All identified clinical literatures were reviewed and summarized in a narrative manner. Results : Treatment options, such as a combination of an antidepressant and an antipsychotic versus an antidepressant or an antipsychotic alone are summarized. In addition, issues regarding the electroconvulsive therapy( ECT), combination therapy, and maintenance treatment are discussed. Conclusion : In former times, the combination of an antidepressant and an antipsychotic or ECT were recommended as the first line treatment for depressive disorder with psychotic symptoms. Recently, however, there was a suggestion that there was no conclusive evidence that the combination of an antidepressant and an antipsychotic drug is more effective than an antidepressant alone. More evidence regarding the pharmacological treatment for depressive disorder with psychotic symptoms is needed.

Objectives : Considering the impact of depressive illness on physical and mental health of both mother and fetus, specification of a treatment algorithm for depressive disorder during pregnancy is legitimated. This article provides a systemic review of treatments for depressive disorder during pregnancy and lactation. Methods : According to the search strategy of the Clinical Research Center for Depression of Korean Health 21 R & D Project, PubMed and EMBASE were searched using terms with regard to the treatment of depressive disorders during pregnancy and lactation. Reference lists of related reviews and studies were searched. In addition, relevant practice guidelines were searched using the PubMed. All identified clinical literatures were reviewed and summarized in a narrative manner. Results : Pharmacotherapy during pregnancy and lactation requires a comprehensive assessment of the risks and benefits of treatment for both mother and fetus or neonate. Recently, there is growing evidence that the use of tricyclic and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors during pregnancy and lactation does not result in increased risks of teratogenicity. Treatment strategies are described according to the point of time of pregnancy or lactation. FDA categories for antidepressants during pregnancy and lactation are described. In addition, issues regarding to the electroconvulsive therapy and psychosocial treatment are discussed. Conclusion : The treatment option for depressive disorders during pregnancy and lactation depends on the severity of depressive illnesses of the individual patient. For mild to moderate depression, the non-pharmacological treatment should be considered first. For moderate to severe depression, pharmacotherapy should be administered in addition to the psychosocial treatment. ECT is recommended for depressive disorder of severe intensity. As the research knowledge is limited, the recommendations should based on the best judgement of psychiatrists.

The pregnancy and postpartum period appear to be a time of heightened vulnerability for the development of major depression in some women. Postpartum depression affects 10% of women within a few weeks immediately postpartum. Postpartum depression is associated with disturbances in the mother-infant relationship, which in turn have an adverse impact on the course of child cognitive and emotional development. Depression during pregnancy is also common, although it has been relatively neglected. Psychopathological symptoms during pregnancy have physiological consequences for the fetus. Understanding the aetiology of perinatal depression requires integrating of multiple psychosocial and biological risk factors. The treatment of depressed pregnant women requires skilled decision making by psychiatrists. Risk-benefit analysis is appropriate method for intervention fur depression in pregnancy. Effective treatments for depression in pregnancy include psychotherapy, antidepressant medication and electroconvulsive therapy. In treatment of postpartum depression, the biological, psychological, and social interventions are included. Prescribing antidepressants(such as fluoxetine), estrogen in severe and chronic cases, and counselling can be effective for improving maternal mood and aspects of infant outcome. Ongoing research is directed to further elucidating neurohormonal and psychosocial contributions to depression during pregnancy or postpartum. Screening for risk factors and symptoms for depression need to be incorporated into antenatal and pediatric clinics.
