Psychosocial Functioning in Depression

Abstract

Individuals who become clinically depressed once are more likely than are their never depressed counterparts to experience a future depressive episode of depression. This finding suggest that there is a stable vulnerability factor that predispose some individuals to become depressed repeatedly over the course of their lives. Interpersonal theory of depression posit that interpersonal factors like dependency and reassurance seeking behavior may compose such vulnerability factors. In the current study, we seek to elucidate interpersonal vulnerability factors in adults who have been previously been depressed and examine their interrelations. 28 currently depressed, 24 remitted depressed, 31 matched never depressed participants completed self reported measures of interpersonal functioning. Results indicated currently depressed individuals displayed high level of interpersonal dependency and reassurance seeking behavior, and also low level of perceived social support. but there was' nt a significant difference in the interpersonal functioning between remitted depressed and never depressed. These results suggest dependency and reassurance seeking behavior have been shown to be mood-dependent, decreasing as depressive symptom abate. Implications of these findings for interpersonal functioning of depressed individuals are discussed and directions for future research are advanced.
