Public Mental Health is the application of the principles of medicine and social science to prevent the occurrence of mental and behavioral disorders and to promote mental health of the population. This course illustrates the principles of public health applied to depressive disorder, including principles of epidemiology, transcultural psychiatry, health services research, and prevention. It is predicted that by 2020 depressive disorder will be the most important cause of disease burden in the entire world! Every human being suffers from feeling depressed at some point or other, but only about one fifth of the population will experience an episode of depressive disorder over the course of their lives. This course illuminates the public health approach to disease, and the particular complexities of applying this approach to mental disorders, using depression as the exemplar.

Hello folks its Bill Eaton and this is
Major Depression in the Population, the Public Health approach.
And we're in lecture 4 entitled The Search for Etiologic Clues.
So this is the outline of the presentation today.
And it's about risk factors.
So, prior lecture we studied about research designs
and a little bit on methods and psychiatric epidemiology.
But now we're going to use those methods, and
try to understand what is it
that increases the risk for depressive disorder?
And you can see we're going to consider
inheritance, and stress, social supports, and work life.
And then this funny combination of socioeconomic status and
social supports and life stage, I'll tell you about that.
And then a recency of birth as risk factors for depressive disorder.
So the first section on inheritance.
Now you remember in the first lecture, I
talked a little bit about Alfred Lord Tennyson, and
showed you his family tree which was darkly
colored with people with depressive disorder of different types.
And so now I'm just going to show you a tiny bit more on depressive disorder.
This is a slide on family studies of depressive disorder.
And you can see, you know, we have this cases and controls language here.
So we have cases of depressive disorder, and controls
who are like them except they don't have depressive disorder.
And then, we're going to study in their first degree
relatives the prevalence of depressive disorder in cases and controls.
And this is a selection, there are a couple dozen studies
in table 8.3 in Peter Zandi's Chapter in Public Mental Health.
This is a selection of four of those that I chose.
These are some
of the strongest studies.
And you can see that this literature is a little bit old.
We aren't doing that many family studies on depressive disorder
anymore because we, we know the results, to some extent.
So we have in Gershon's study we have 133 cases.
And in their first degree relatives, first degree
relatives are siblings, or parents, or children, right?
And these first degree relatives share 50% of their genetic material
with the case.
So there's 17%, 16.6% in the case, but only 5.8% in the controls.
And you get a similar preponderance in Winokur's study.
11.2 of prevalence of depressive disorder in their first degree relative
of cases, versus 7.3 in the first degree relatives of controls.
So this is a little bit repetitive, 14.9 versus 5.6.
So, and 19 versus 7.7 in Heun and Maier study.
What this shows us is, that we think that depressive disorder is inherited.
Now it could be, that it's inherited through cultural patterns and upbringing.
But basically we tend to think that it's actually
in the genetic material that is making it be inherited.
There's a little more evidence here, on twin studies.
We have monozygotic twins, MZ pairs.
Those twins are formed from the same egg and
sperm, so they share 100% of their genetic material.
And dizygotic pairs are twins in the same birth process,
but they are like siblings sharing 50% of their genetic material.
So we have again, I've selected 4 studies from Peter
Zandi's fourth table in Chapter 8 in Public Mental Health.
And if you look at the first one by McGuffin, there's 84 monozygotic pairs.
Of course,
it's hard to find these.
These are hard to conduct studies because you have to find
those twin pairs, and McGuffin got them from a hospital population.
And there are 130 dizygotic pairs.
And concordance means if the one twin has the
disorder, what percentage of the other twin has it?
So you can see the monozygotic pairs, if one
twin has it, 53% of the other twin has it.
For the dizygotic twin pairs, if one twin has it,
28% of the other twin will have it.
So its much stronger for the monozygotic,
and that makes us think that its inherited.
And we actually can calculate a so called heritability estimate.
And this is the estimate of the total variance in
the population, what percentage of that is so called genetic variance?
And 43% is a sizable chunk of the variance.
And I've listed in the column called population, different sources of data.
And this
turns out to be one of the important things
in the, research on depression where the data come from.
People with depressive disorder in the hospital are different than people from
the general population with depressive disorder
as in Kendler's study at the bottom.
And likewise, they're different from the
Veteran's Twin Registry, and from volunteers.
But you can see for example, in Mike Lyon's work
on the Veteran's Twin Registry, the monozygotic versus dizygotic is 22
versus 14 with a heritability of 36%.
And Laura Bierut's larger population, and she's categorized them as
to same sex dizygotic pairs, or opposite sex dizygotic pairs.
Monozygotic pairs are always the same sex because
they have the 100% of the genetic material shared.
But dizygotic pairs can have different sex.
And she's also tabulated by sex, and you can see there that the females have higher
rate of depressive disorder than the males.
For example, in the monozygotic twins it's 38 versus 20.
That tends to be the tendency.
Females have more depressive disorder than males in
general, and she gets a heritability of about 44%.
Likewise, Ken Kendler with a general population of twins, is called the
Virginia Twin Registry, which he formed and has been working on, 38% heritability.
So this
makes us think look, depression in inherited.
And I think nobody would challenge that.
The next step is, let's find a gene that's connected to the depressive disorder.
Or maybe two genes or three genes.
For example, a study of phenylketonuria, there is a single gene.
A single location on the genome which is related to phenylketonuria.
But we have been searching for that gene, or those genes for decades.
And this is the most recent search that I have.
It's called a mega analysis, because they
looked at 1.2 million single nucleo type polymorphisms.
Those are locations on the chromosome
single pieces of chemicals on the chromosome.
And he had 18,759 subjects, right?
So if anything could find it, you'd think this could find it.
But you see the second red underlining there.
No SNIPs, that's a single
nucleotide polymorphism or like in an
allele, no SNIP achieved genome-wide significance.
And so where the arrows are, although
this is the largest genome-wide analysis of major
depressive disorder yet conducted, its high prevalence
means that the sample is still under powered.
So the geneticists are asking for more than 20,000 people,
and more money from the taxpayer to search for these genes.
And this is referred to as the missing
heritability, this paradox we have.
We know it's inherited, but we can't find the genes.
This is another just example of what
happened to the heritability of depressive disorder.
When they do a genome-wide scan, that is, they look at, let's
say, a million different positions on the chromosome, the 23 chromosome's there.
And you can see chromosome 1, 2, 3, on the x axis there.
And they plot of all the locations, the significance
of the relationship to the phenotype of interest.
In this case its height, that is how tall is somebody?
Everybody knows that you have tall parents, you have tall kids,
short parents short kids, tall father, short mother, medium height kids.
Inheritance is inherited, and when you do a genome wide association study, you
get something like this, which is called a Manhattan plot, looks like sky scrapers.
And if you pay close attention
to the left hand, the ordinate there, you can see that's the negative log ten.
That's the significance value.
And when the significance value is 20 there, that
means basically there are 19 zeros after the decimal point.
Stating basically, that the finding would occur by chance if
it's at that level, 1 in 10 to the 20th times.
It's completely impossible to have occured by chance.
The value of 8 I've marked down there, is about one in a hundred million.
So you can see in this Manhattan plot on chromosome 1, and chromosome 3, and
chromosome 6 and 7 and 8 and 12 and 13 and 20, there are hugely important findings.
And so this Manhattan plot as we say, it looks like Manhattan.
Now let's make a Manhattan plot for depressive disorder.
And there's the value of 8.
We have to change the scale, but
this Manhattan plot does not look like Manhattan.
There's nothing in there.
It looks like Ames, Iowa.
I hope the people from the Midwest won't think I'm prejudice.
I think Ames doesn't have very many tall buildings in it.
It's been a long time since I've been there.
But this is the other issue.
We, we, we're almost certain that depression is
inherited, but we can't find exactly how its inherited.
It's very complicated.
Either its lots of different genes acting together, or the genes act with
the environment in very complex ways, or
they interact together in very complex ways.
Still a puzzle. So that's our issue about inheritance.
I, I'm sorry we can't come to better conclusion.
Just think back to Alfred Lord Tennyson, and the density of his family tree.
And now we'll move on to the second most important aspect
of depressive disorder, that we also considered
in our first lecture, that is stress.
