  • Research Proposal Regarding a Study of Institutionalized Elderly and Depression

    This 8 page paper provides an overview of a proposal for a research study on the issue of depression in the elderly population. This paper specifically looks at institutionalized elderly and the impacts of variables that determine the onset of depression. Further, this paper also considers the issue of mortality and the link to depression, and the application of a holistic nursing model to address depression.

  • Depression And Diabetes: Article Reviews

    10 pages in length. The relationship between diabetes and depression is an unmistakable - and perhaps unavoidable - occurrence of comorbidity. Each of these articles illustrates the importance of patient self-care and appropriate life choices as a means by which to offset the prevalence toward the comorbidity of depression and diabetes. While one study seeks to determine the most provoking factors that draw out the tendency toward both major and minor depression, another finds no more correlation between depression and diabetes than there is with those who do not have diabetes. Similarly, a third study sought to determine if those with either major depression or diabetes were more or less functionally disabled than those with diabetes and comorbid major depression. Another study examines how different locale and ethic composition impacts comorbidity, while the final article provides a broad overview of how depression and diabetes are often misdiagnosed and inappropriately treated. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

  • Alcohol and Depression

    A 3 page paper discussing the link between depression and alcohol use, both as a reason that some people begin drinking and a reason that others continue. Researchers link childhood depression with early onset of alcohol use; other research examines the effects of antidepressants on alcohol use and establishes a cross-cultural link between depression and heavy alcohol use. All research is from 2006 and 2007. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

  • Link Between Depression and Creativity

    This 4 page report discusses the alleged link between creativity and depression. The idea of the suffering artist is part of the Western world’s cultural legacy but is there an actual biological link or connection? The question becomes whether it is the creativity that drives the depression or the depression that motivates the creativity. The issue of alcohol abuse and creativity is also briefly discussed. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

  • Children's Depression and the Impact of Divorce

    A 10 page (M.L.A. style) proposal for researching the connection between divorce and depression among children. The divorce rate continues to increase, as does teen suicide and reports of depression in children. Many of today’s children are living with or through divorce, and some researchers maintain that we are creating divorce-engendered depression in children. The paper discusses proposed methods and provides a theoretical rationale for the study. The MLA-style bibliography lists 14 sources.
