- Depression as the Middle- and Long-Term Impact for Pre-Symptomatic Testing of Late-Onset Neurodegenerative Disorders Susana Lêdo Angela Leite Teresa Souto Maria Alzira Pimenta Dinis Jorge Sequeiros Psicología Pre Pre Pre Pre Pre This cross-sectional study investigated depression as the middle- (4 years) and long-term (7 and 10years) psychological impact of pre-symptomatic testing (PST) for 3 autosomal dominant late-onsetdiseases: Huntington’s disease (HD), Machado-Joseph disease (MJD) and familial amyloidotic poly-neuropathy (FAP) TTR V30M. It included 203 subjects: 170 (83.7%) underwent the PST for FAP, 29(14.3%) for HD and 4 (2%) for MJD. Of these 203, 73 were still asymptomatic carriers, 29 (14.5%) weresymptomatic, 9 (4.5%) were FAP liver transplanted patients and 89 (44.5%) were non-carriers. Subjectswere mainly women (58.1%) and married (66.5%). The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was used toevaluate depression. Scores were higher for symptomatic carriers and for those who have made one ormore psychological support consultations over the years. For the formers, the mean scores pointed tomild depression. Asymptomatic carriers and non-carriers had similar scores but it was impossible to dif-ferentiate the psychological impact between the medium and long-term. For symptomatic carriers, there were significant differences between the middle- and long-term. The study indicates that depression occurs only when subjects had previously manifested the first symptoms of their neurologic disease. 2016 artículo científico 1413-389X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=513777286011 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5137 Temas em Psicologia application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Psicologia Temas em Psicologia (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.24
