Considering hobbies, many lists are diffused worldwide to stimulate patients (cf. Bilsker & Paterson, 2009). In order to improve depressive/anxiety symptoms, the patient is invited by the psychologist to start some hobbies, taken from the list, for a defined period of time; the psychologist will then collect the patient’s emotional feedback and underline progress.

Depressive position: Klein postulated that the infant moved into the depressive position by about 6 months of age. The infant learns unconsciously to recognize that good and bad can coexist and no longer splits all objects into either all good or all bad. Klein describes a depressive anxiety that the infant has about his/her own aggressive feelings towards the caregiver during this ambivalent period. The mother is no longer split into internal and external objects and this creates the state of depressive anxiety (not the same as depression/anxiety in adulthood).

Psychological distress in persons with terminal illness is a significant clinical problem. If the concerns of such people remain hidden, distress can be manifested as a more serious affective disorder. Such affective disorders can include a spectrum of depressive, anxiety, adjustment, and grief reactions. Among cancer patients, for example, studies have consistently indicated that about 30% of people experience an affective disorder as a result of diagnosis and/or treatment (Derogatis et al. 1983; Razavi et al. 1990). The risk of developing an affective disorder appears to be positively correlated with the complexity of treatment interventions, adverse side-effects, and various unidentified concerns (Devlen et al. 1987). ‘About 30% of cancer patients experience an affective disorder as a result of diagnosis and/or treatment.’

The process of emotion (dys)regulation has been conceptualized as a transdiagnostic process, which is a cognitive process common across a wide range of disorders, acting as risk factor or maintaining factor (Barlow et al., 2017; Faustino, 2021; Sloan et al, 2017), that has been empirically associated with a wide range of emotional difficulties and psychopathology, particularly depression, anxiety, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive spectrum, and personality disorders (Aldao & Nolen-Hoeksema, 2010; Aldao et al., 2016; Barlow et al., 2017; Cludius et al., 2020; Faustino, 2021; Fernandez et al., 2016; Mallorquí-Bagué et al., 2018; Sloan et al., 2017). Over the past decade, efforts have been made to promote evidence-based psychotherapeutic interventions for mental disorders with lower costs and greater efficacy (Barlow et al., 2017). Consistent with this research, studies targeting the psychological processes underlying depressive, anxiety, and related symptoms have focused on transdiagnostic dimensions that affect emotion regulation (Aldao & Nolen-Hoeksema, 2010; Barlow et al., 2017; Faustino, 2021; Fernandez et al., 2016; Sloan et al., 2017).

Based on criteria determined by Kirsch et al. (41), a subset of these medical records were then manually reviewed (D.E.) if any of the following criteria were met: 1) depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder diagnostic code first assigned before 5 years of age; 2) only 2 visit dates greater than 30 days apart from the same diagnostic category; 3) less than 4 visit dates with bipolar – related codes; 4) classification for depression or anxiety met but individual had a single visit date for another diagnostic category (i.e., depression, anxiety, or bipolar); 5) did not meet classification criteria for either diagnostic category but had at least one suicide-related code; or 6) depression/anxiety-related codes only included 2 adjustment disorder codes. Of these medical records, the reviewer (D.E.) then classified an individual as having a depressive, anxiety, or bipolar related diagnosis if any of the following criteria were met prior to age 25: 1) diagnosis of a depressive, anxiety, or bipolar disorder confirmed by a psychiatrist/psychologist; 2) pharmacotherapy prescribed for associated psychiatric disorder; or 3) evidence of patient participating in counseling services/psychotherapy for the associated disorder (43).

The majority of therapeutic interventions to AD have three broad components in common (Strain and Diefenbacher 2008; Casey 2009). First, psychological interventions aim to enable the individual to reduce or remove the stressor. For example, the impact of a stressor, such as sudden unemployment, might be alleviated at the moment the patient is able to find a new job. If a stressor is ongoing and not removable (e.g. terminally ill cancer), some measures, such as establishing social support to attenuate the impact of the stressor, may enhance quality of life and re-establish functioning. Second, interventions try to enhance the coping abilities with the stressor and maximise adaptation. For example, cognitive coping strategies might include the identification of negative thoughts and their replacement by more functional thoughts. On a behavioural level, assisting patient activation may facilitate experiences of self-efficacy. Third, symptom reduction and behavioural change is another important goal to reduce distress and improve functioning in the long run. Therapeutic approaches might vary widely in this context, depending on the respective underlying nosological model, as interventions for rather unspecific symptom profiles (e.g. mixed depressive–anxiety symptoms) or a more specific model such as ‘subthreshold PTSD’ require differing treatment attempts.
