Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war es die Wirksamkeit einer Behandlung mit Transkranieller Magnetstimulation bei depressiven Patienten zu untersuchen. Der Behandlungserfolg wurde mit depressionsspezfischen Fragebögen, der Testleistung in einer kognitiven Aufgabe und ereigniskorrelierten Potentialen im EEG objektiviert. Es konnte nicht abschließend geklärt werden, ob die Theta-Burst-Stimulation in der Therapie depressiver Patienten geeignet ist. Es fanden sich allerdings Hinweise darauf, dass die präfrontal applizierte Behandlung Veränderungen in den frontal generierten ereigniskorrelierten Potentialen bewirkte. / Transcranial magnetic stimulation was frequently used in treatment of depressive patients. We used a special paradigm called theta burst stiumlation to treat therapy resistant depressive patients for 2 weeks. Effectiveness was measured by questionaires, results in a cognitive task and event related potentials in EEG. Results show that there was a change in event related potentials in frontal brain areas. Clear evidence for an improvement of depressive symptoms could not be shown.

The purpose of this research was to examine the proportion of clients diagnosed with a depressive disorder who also exhibit one or more comorbid disorders. In addition, this study examined multiple aspects of age and gender associated with comorbid disorders in an attempt to better inform treatment and diagnosis of depressive disorders and associated disorders and to answer two questions: 1) What is the proportion of clients diagnosed with a depressive disorder who also exhibit one or more comorbid disorders; and 2) Are there significant differences in number of comorbid disorders among developmental stages and gender. The current study helps to shed light on the understanding of comorbid disorders related to childhood and adolescent depression. Previously, no other study had investigated the changes in comorbidity that take place across childhood development.The present study used an archival data set obtained from the Dean-Woodcock Neurological Battery. Participants included patients that had been referred for psychological and neuropsychological evaluation and treatment at a large outpatient Midwestern neurology practice. For the purpose of the present study, participants were selected from the data set for analysis if he or she were diagnosed with a depressive disorder and were than nineteen-years of age. The sample included 136 males and 74 females (n=210). The ages of the participants ranged from 4 year-old to 18 years-old. Results of an ordinal regression revealed that males were significantly more likely to have a greater number of comorbid diagnoses than females. Additionally, participants appeared to exhibit a greater number of comorbid disorders as the age of the participant increased. / Department of Educational Psychology
