3. Major Depression:
Public Health Impact
The World Health
Organization estimated that
major depression is the
leading cause of disease-
related disability among
women world-wide.

4. Gender Differences in Prevalence of
Major Depression
Women: 1.5-2.5 X rate relative to men 15-54
Kessler et al (1993) Journal of Affective Disorders
5. Improving
Outcomes
Consider Differential Diagnosis
Treat to Remission; Response at Minimum
Measure Symptom Improvement
Use Evidence Based Interventions
Personalize Antidepressant Choice to the Woman
Optimize the Dose
Special Considerations for Reproductive Related
Depressions (PMDD, Perinatal, Perimenopausal)
Provide Self-Help Resources
6. Major Depression
For two weeks, most of the day nearly every day, 5 of
these (one must be mood or interest):
Depressed mood
Diminished interest/pleasure
Weight loss/ gain unrelated to dieting
Insomnia/ hypersomnia
Psychomotor agitation/ retardation
Fatigue or loss of energy
Feelings of worthlessness/guilt
Diminished ability to concentrate
Recurrent thoughts of death

7. Diff Dx: Bipolar Disorder
Unopposed Antidepressant is not Appropriate, risks
agitation/ rapid cycling
Prevalence=1-1.5%; to 5% for spectrum, Males=Females
Mania/ hypomania alternate with depressive episodes.
Onset in mid to late teens
Postpartum onset particularly common
“Plugged in” symptoms: grandiosity, less need for sleep
but not tired, pressured speech, flight of ideas,
distractibility, increased involvement in goal-directed
activities, psychomotor agitation, excessive involvement in
pleasurable activities with likelihood of painful
consequences

19. Depression Recurrence
during Pregnancy
Recurrence risk for women who either maintained
or discontinued antidepressants proximal to
conception (Cohen et al- JAMA. 2006;295:499-507)
Significantly more women who discontinued
(44/65, 68%) compared to women who maintained
(21/82, 26%) antidepressant treatment suffered
recurrent major depressive disorder.
Most recurrences emerged rapidly (50% in the first
trimester, and 90% by the end of second trimester).
20. Reproductive Outcome
Domains
Major birth defects (approx 3% in the
general population)
Growth Effects
Behavioral Teratogenicity
Neonatal Syndrome
These domains are impacted by
both psychiatric disorders and
antidepressants
21. Summary Points
Intrauterine Fetal Death- No conclusive evidence;
women with SRI and/or NDD exposure have higher risk for
miscarriage
Physical Malformations- Specific defects (if any)
are rare and absolute risks are small. Greene, M. F. (2007).
Teratogenicity of SSRIs -- Serious Concern or Much Ado
about Little? NEJM 356: 2732-2733
Growth- Maternal Weight Gain, pregnancy
duration, infant birth weight- SGA inconsistently
reported with SSRI exposure. PTB is a converging finding
for SRI exposed neonates-- MDD is associated with the
same level of risk for preterm birth. PTB and SGA for
depression.
22. Summary Points
Behavioral Teratogenicity- No differences
in cognitive function, verbal comprehension, expressive
language, mood, activity levels, distractibility, behavior
problems, temperament (Nulman et al-- TCA, FLX); Casper
et al (2003) and Pederson et al (2010) reported less
favorable motor (not mental) development in SSRI exposed
vs. depression controls in toddlers. Resolved by 19 months.
Neonatal Syndrome- Time-limited < 2 weeks,
rarely requires medical intervention; most commonly
associated agents are paroxetine>fluoxetine>sertraline>
fluvoxamine= citalopram= escitalopram
PPHN- Risk increased from 1-2/1000 to 6-12/1000 with
exposure to SSRI after 20 weeks gestation; subsequent
studies have not consistently replicated this finding
23. The Clinician’s Conundrum:
Dosing
How do I treat to get the best result for the
maternal-fetal pair?
Toxicity is related to dose! Should I keep the
dose low to reduce exposure?
Does the dose change across pregnancy?

28. Nortriptyline vs. Sertraline
Response and remission rates did not differ;
At 8 weeks, responders: SERT=56%,
NTP=69%: remitters SERT=46%, NTP=48%
Time to response and remission did not differ
Psychosocial functioning improved similarly
The total side effect burden of each drug similar
No clinical (including O/C) or demographic
variables ID’d responders from nonresponders
Medications similarly efficacious in women with
non-postpartum depression
29. Antidepressants: One Dose Does not Fit All

32. Transdermal Estradiol for
Postpartum Depression
NIMH funded, 80 randomized
Replicate Gregoire et al (1996,
Lancet) rapid response to E2 vs. PL
with an antidepressant comparator
Random assignment to E2 patch,
sertraline or PL for 8 weeks
Women with response enter blinded
continuation phase through 28
weeks postpartum
Infant growth and developmental
outcomes at 6.5 months
33. Perimenopausal Depression
E2 has psychotropic properties independent of
hormone deficiency/withdrawal
Not a simple hormone deficiency: Basal plasma
levels E2 do not distinguish women with/without
depression
Mood enhancing effects of E2 in perimenopausal
depression occurs independent of hot flashes
Antidepressants decrease hot flashes
independent of depressive symptoms
34. Dosing: Estradiol Patch for
Perimenopausal Depression
Schmidt et al 2000
• 3 week RCT of E2 vs Placebo
• 34 confirmed perimenopausal women
• 50 ug/d transdermal E2
• 80% response rate to E2 vs 20% to Placebo
Soares et al 2001
• 12 week RCT of E2 vs Placebo
• 50 confirmed perimenopausal women
• 100 ug/d transdermal E2
• 70% response rate to E2 vs 20% to Placebo

Women are approximately 1.7 times as likely as men to report a lifetime history of MDE. Sex difference begins in early adolescence (age 10) and persists through the mid-50s. The sharp divergence in the 50’s is based upon a small sample size and not thought to be reliable. Sex difference in depression is most pronounces among early adolescents, with the highest relative hazard of first onset (OR=2.3) in the age range 10-14. This is a consistent finding throughout the world, regardless of how depression is diagnosed. Since women are no more likely than men to be chronically depressed or to have ana acute recurrence in the past year – therefore higher prevalence is due to higher risk of 1 st onset. The NCS was a congressionally mandated survey with the specific goal of studying the comorbidity of psychiatric disorders. 8000 individuals, ages 15-54 interviewed. Used a supplemental nonresponse survey, with financial incentive, based on previous evidence that survey nonresponders tend to have higher rates of psychiatric d/o. A structured psychiatric interview (DIS-diagnositc interiew schedule – can be administered by trained interviewers who are not clinicians) was administered to a representative US sample. Based on results that respondents underreport stem questions once they recognize that positive responses lead to more detailed questions, they used a life review section before probing any positive stem responses and to facilitate active memory search for lifetime episodes. Anxiety d/o have an approximately 5% 1-yr prevalence form the same study
Three terms are used to describe improvement of a depressed patient after treatment with an antidepressant: response, remission, and recovery. Generally, response refers to at least a 50% reduction in symptoms of depression as assessed by a psychiatric rating scale. Remission is the resolution of essentially all symptoms (e.g., HAMD score 7) . If remission lasts for 6 to 12 months, the remission is considered to be recovery . The terms relapse and recurrence are used to describe a worsening in a patient with depression. If the patient worsens before they have achieved recovery, the term relapse is employed to describe the worsening of symptoms. If the patient experiences a new depressive episode within a few months of recovery, the term recurrence is used. Treatment of MDD can be divided into three phases: acute, continuation, and maintenance. During the acute phase, in which the patient is experiencing depressive symptoms, a primary goal of treatment is to elicit a response to medication or therapy. During the continuation phase, the period after the patient’s symptoms have responded to acute intervention(s), a primary goal of treatment is to prevent a relapse of depressive symptoms. During the maintenance phase, a primary goal of treatment is to prevent a recurrence or another acute episode of depression. Reference: Kupfer DJ. Long-term treatment of depression. J Clin Psychiatry . 1991;52(Suppl):28 -34.
The side effects of antidepressants appear to be closely related to their acute effects on particular neurotransmitter systems. The time course of development of specific side effects is closely linked to that of acute synaptic effects in specific neurotransmitter systems. Side effects often occur within hours to days of initiation of antidepressant therapy, whereas therapeutic effects require weeks. 1 This observation suggests that much of the tolerability of antidepressants is directly a function of acute synaptic effects on monoaminergic and other systems that are brought about by the initiation of antidepressant treatment. 1,2 Clinical data show that specific neurotransmitter effects are associated with distinct side effects. These and other side effects are attributed to drug activity at central or peripheral synapses where the antidepressants either bind to receptors to influence cellular function or alter the concentration of endogenous neurotransmitters. Increasing the levels of specific neurotransmitters may result in different types of short-term and long-term side effects. 1,2 Serotonergic side effects include sexual dysfunction, sleep disturbance, and gastrointestinal upset. 1 –5 Noradrenergic side effects include tremor, tachycardia, dry mouth, and insomnia. 1 Psychomotor activation and aggravation of psychosis are dopaminergic side effects. 1 References: 1.

Massive placental and fetal hormone secretion produce dramatic rise in steroid hormones during pregnancy. Estradiol increases from 100 pg/ml (mean conc across the menstrual cycle) to 16,000 pg/ml (an over 100-fold increase) Within 24 hours of parturition, estrogen drops below follicular levels, and then reequilibrates within a few days. Progesterone rises from 25 ng/ml (mid luteal peak) to 150 ng/ml by term (6-fold higher) and then drops within 24 hours to luteal phase levels and then further to follicular levels by 1 wk postpartum. Estradiol increases 100-fold across pregnancy relative to mean menstrual cycle concentrations and falls to early follicular levels within the 1st week postpartum. Large increases in dihydroepiandosterone via the fetal adrenal gland contribute to pregnancy estrogen increases (ParkerJr 1999). Progesterone reaches concentrations 10-fold higher than mid-luteal levels of the menstrual cycle in late pregnancy, and falls to follicular phase levels within the 1st week postpartum. Allopregnanolone concentration increases follow those of progesterone across childbearing (Luisi et al. 2000). Due to prolonged suppression of the hypothalamic pituitary ovarian axis during pregnancy, ovulation and the associated rise in estradiol and progesterone is generally absent until 6 weeks postpartum. Corticotrophin releasing hormone (CRH) and cortisol produced by the placenta increase 1000-fold and 3-fold in pregnancy, respectively and revert to normal states within 12 weeks postpartum (Chrousos et al. 1998; Mastorakos et al. 2000; Smith et al. 1992). Oxytocin mRNA expression, synthesis, and receptor density are increased several-fold in lactating relative to non-lactating mammals (Numan et al. 2003). neuroplasticity, neurogenesis, and amplification of hormones and peptides have demonstrated relationships to evolutionarily beneficial adaptations in cognitive (ie: spatial navigation Kinsley), emotional (fear reduction; Lonstein, Neumann), and maternal function (Numan review) in preclinical studies. How brain preparations for maternity proceed in humans and how such preparation go awry in women with mental illness (or women with high levels of psychosocial stress) is an important area for future investigation. (do we know anything???) Because healthy maternal adaptation confers benefits to offspring at the level of emotional, cognitive, and physical development (insert refs), insights into mental illness-related aberrant maternal brain preparations could assist in the development of treatments to foster healthier adaptation to the maternal role.
<200pmol/L ==> <60 pg/ml BUT graph makes it look like < 100pmol/L or 30pg/ml 400 pmol/L ==> 110 pg/ml BUT graph makes it look like 500 pmol/L or >130pg/ml Study Design 23 women with MDD onset within 6 mos postpartum, severe illness, E2 concentrations < 60 pg/ml 8 wk open trial 17 -estradiol 1mg SL, 3-8x daily (to 110 pg/ml) Dramatic improvement within 1 week of E2. 91% Ss recovered by week 8 on E2 alone Gregoire et al (Gregoire et al., 1996) randomized 61 women with PPMD to placebo or transdermal 17 -E2 (200 mcg/day) delivered by transdermal patch for 6 months. The mean E2 concentration of actively treated women was 680 pmol/L (as a comparison, the mean E2 concentration across the menstrual cycle is 370 pmol/L). Both the E2 and placebo groups improved across time; however, the E2 treated group improved rapidly (within a month). The outcome measure was the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Screening Scale (EPDS; Cox et al, 1987). The mean EPDS score for E2-treated subjects was consistent with remission (Peindl et al., 2004) and was 4 points lower than that of the placebo group at study completion. At 3 months of treatment, 80% of the E2 group had EPDS scores <14, but only 31% of placebo group had scores <14. Several lessons learned from Gregoire (a consultant for the proposed study) et al’s work have informed the proposed investigation. Because assessments were done once a month, the time course of response in the early weeks of treatment is unknown and may be substantially earlier. The inclusion of women who took concurrent antidepressant medications (47% and 37% in the E2 and placebo arms, respectively) limits the ability to discern an E2-specific treatment effect. The EPDS is a self-report scale; the validity of the findings would be increased if they were confirmed with a clinician interview-based measure. The exclusion of breastfeeding women and the inclusion of moderately depressed women (mean EPDS=21) also limit the study’s generalizability. An EPDS score of 21 is equivalent to a 17-item HRSD score of approximately 18 (based upon a correlational estimate from our study of 140 women with PPMD). In the Gregoire et al study, women who developed PPMD by 3 months but presented for treatment up to 18 months postpartum were included. This time frame is far removed from the E2 withdrawal at delivery that theoretically contributes to PPMD risk and is the primary rationale for E2 treatment. The dose of 17 -E2, 200 mcg/day, is high by today’s standards. A compelling question is whether response occurs at lower doses (personal communication, Alain Gregoire, M.D.), which will be answered in the proposed study
