Depression is 4th most disabling medical condition

worldwide

Predicted to be 2nd only to chronic heart disease with regards to disability

by year 2020 The management of TRD is a major public health

problem worldwide Need to consider multiple forms of depression: Unipolar Bipolar Dysthymia With Chronic Pain

• • • • • • • • •

Common, typically recurrent, often chronic disabling disorder Life-long prevalence of 4.9-17.9% Women twice as likely to have depression More frequent in patients with a general medical condition Episodic disorder, one episode every 5 years 20-35% experience a chronic unremitting course Early-onset dysthymia is also common and has milder but also chronic depressive symptoms Relapse and recurrence more common in those with a history of dysthymia and in those with partial recovery Longer episodes appear more difficult to treat

Prognosis of Affective Illness The Burden of The Illness

“Paradigmatic Shift”

Unipolar Major Depressive Disorders are viewed as chronic illnesses with episodic recurrences as the norm

Brodati et al 2001

Typical Symptoms of Affective Disorders

Mania Excessive energy Restless Aggression Rapid thoughts and speech Insomnia Sadness Depression Worthlessness Loss of interest/pleasure Significant weight gain/loss Hypersomnia Euphoria Grandiosity Irritability Recklessness Restlessness/ agitation Fatigue Guilt Decreased libido Poor concentration Suicidal tendencies

The Bipolar Illness

Mania Hypomania Wide range of syndromes with manic features, associated with episodes of depression Normal Depression Severe depression Normal mood variation Cyclothymic Cyclothymic personality disorder Bipolar II disorder Unipolar mania Bipolar I disorder Not shown: recurrent unipolar depression with family history of mania/hypomania Goodwin FK, Jamison KR. Manic-depressive illness. New York: Oxford University Press, 1990

Paradigmatic shift Complex life-long disorders Often misdiagnosed and as a consequence poorly treated Current treatment is a combination of “science and art” Proven treatment algorrhytms and RTC ’s are sorely needed Comorbidity with psychiatric and medical conditions common

Triple inhibitors of monoamine reuptake Agents blocking both 5-HT reuptake and inhibitory 5-HT autoreceptors. Bimodal antidepressants acting as 5-HT2 C HT2 A receptor antagonists or 5 Novel antidepressants with antagonist properties at 5-HT3 receptors Dual 2-AR autoreceptor antagonists/monoamine reuptake inhibitors Hybrid, monoaminergic/nonmonoaminergic antidepressants

Histamine H3, nicotinic, and GABAB receptors as targets: improving cognitive function

Glutamatergic receptors as targets: ionotropic and metabotropic hypotheses

Neuropeptidergic receptors as targets: focus on Neurokinin1 (NK1) receptor antagonists/SRI Innovative neuroendocrine mechanisms: calming HPA axis overdrive and recruiting melatonin receptors Drugs affecting intracellular cascades, BDNF, and more

Recommendation 1: The American College of Physicians recommends that when clinicians choose pharmacologic therapy to treat patients with acute major depression,

they select second-generation antidepressants on the basis of adverse effect profiles, cost, and patient preferences

Recommendation 2: The American College of Physicians recommends that clinicians

assess patient status

, therapeutic response, and adverse effects of antidepressant therapy

on a regular basis

beginning within 1 to 2 weeks of initiation of therapy Recommendation 3: The American College of Physicians recommend that clinicians

an adequate response to pharmacotherapy within 6 to 8 weeks modify treatment if the patient does not have

of the initiation of therapy for major depressive disorder Recommendation 4: The American College of Physicians recommends that clinicians

continue treatment for 4 to 9 months

after a satisfactory response in patients with a first episode of major depressive disorder.

For patients who have had 2 or more episodes of depression, an even longer duration of therapy may be beneficial

“The available evidence does not support clinically significant differences in efficacy, effectiveness, or quality of life among SSRIs, SNRIs, SSNRIs, or other second generation antidepressants for the treatment of acute phase MDD ”

Therapeutic Neuromodulation: A Welcomed Change in Psychiatry

21

st

Century Neuromodulation Therapies in Psychiatry

Psychiatry treatment may be at similar threshold as cardiology 25 years ago, in terms of potential for devices to improve our therapeutics Effective medications & psychosocial interventions help many but by no means all of our patients Devices have potential to help our severely ill patients and clearly warrant intensive research going forwards

Definitions

Neurotherapeutics Treatments for nervous systems disorders through pharmacological or other modalities Neuromodulation-Neurostimulation The therapeutic alteration of activity in the central, peripheral or autonomic nervous systems, electrically or pharmacologically*, by means of implanted devices.

*(today we must add also magnetically, and through light or ultrasound waves)

ECT:

Brief pulse ECT

Ultrabrief pulse ECT Localized seizure ECT Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS)

Role of ECT in 21

st

century

ECT remains a gold standard treatment for severe depression and has yet to be superseded by medication or by any other brain stimulation treatment In recent multicenter trials remission rates with ECT are about 75%. This is 3-4 fold superior to antidepressants Relapse and recurrence rates unreasonably high

Variations of TMS
