OPTIONAL_INIT_DEPENDENCIES : {‘HealthBurden’}

Functions (defined or overridden in class Depression):

__init__(name=None, resourcefilepath=None)

Construct a new disease module ready to be included in a simulation.

Initialises an empty parameters dictionary and module-specific random number generator.

Parameters:

name – the name to use for this module. Defaults to the concrete subclass’ name.

read_parameters(data_folder)

read parameters, register disease module with healthsystem and register symptoms

apply_linear_model(lm, df)

Helper function will apply the linear model (lm) on the dataframe (df) to get a probability of some event happening to each individual. It then returns a series with same index with bools indicating the outcome based on the toss of the biased coin. :param lm: The linear model :param df: The dataframe :return: Series with same index containing outcomes (bool)

initialise_population(population)

Set our property values for the initial population.

Must be implemented by subclasses.

This method is called by the simulation when creating the initial population, and is responsible for assigning initial values, for every individual, of those properties ‘owned’ by this module, i.e. those declared in its PROPERTIES dictionary.

TODO: We probably need to declare somehow which properties we ‘read’ here, so the simulation knows what order to initialise modules in!

Parameters:

population – the population of individuals

initialise_simulation(sim)

Launch the main polling event and the logging event. Schedule the refill prescriptions for those on antidepressants. Register the assessment of depression with the DxManager.

on_birth(mother_id, child_id)

Initialise our properties for a newborn individual – they will not have depression or any history of it. :param mother_id: the mother for this child :param child_id: the new child

on_hsi_alert(person_id, treatment_id)

Nothing happens if this module is alerted to a person attending an HSI

report_daly_values()

Report DALYs based status in the previous month. A DALY weight is attached to a status of depression for as long as the depression lasted in the previous month.

do_on_presentation_to_care(person_id, hsi_event)

This member function is called when a person is in an HSI, and there may need to be screening for depression.

do_when_suspected_depression(person_id, hsi_event)

This is called by the a generic HSI event when depression is suspected or otherwise investigated. :param person_id: :param hsi_event: The HSI event that has called this event :return:

class DepressionPollingEvent(module)

The regular event that actually changes individuals’ depression status. It occurs every 3 months and this cannot be changed. The onset and resolution of depression events occurs at the polling event and synchronously for all persons. Individual level events (HSI, self-harm/suicide events) may occur at other times.

Bases: tlo.events.RegularEvent, tlo.events.Event, tlo.events.PopulationScopeEventMixin

Class attributes:

__annotations__ : {}

Functions (defined or overridden in class DepressionPollingEvent):

__init__(module)

Create a new regular event.

Parameters:

• module – the module that created this event

• frequency (pandas.tseries.offsets.DateOffset) – the interval from one occurrence to the next (must be supplied as a keyword argument)

apply(population)

Apply this event to the given target.

This is a no-op; subclasses should override this method.

Parameters:

target – the target of the event

class DepressionSelfHarmEvent(module, person_id)

This is a Self-Harm event. It has been scheduled to occur by the DepressionPollingEvent. It imposes the Injuries_From_Self_Harm symptom, which will lead to emergency care being sought

Bases: tlo.events.Event, tlo.events.IndividualScopeEventMixin

Functions (defined or overridden in class DepressionSelfHarmEvent):

__init__(module, person_id)

Create a new event.

Note that just creating an event does not schedule it to happen; that must be done by calling Simulation.schedule_event.

Parameters:

• module – the module that created this event. All subclasses of Event take this as the first argument in their constructor, but may also take further keyword arguments.

• priority – a keyword-argument to set the priority (see Priority enum)

apply(person_id)

Apply this event to the given target.

Must be implemented by subclasses.

Parameters:

target – the target of the event

class DepressionSuicideEvent(module, person_id)

This is a Suicide event. It has been scheduled to occur by the DepressionPollingEvent. It causes the immediate death of the person.

Bases: tlo.events.Event, tlo.events.IndividualScopeEventMixin

Functions (defined or overridden in class DepressionSuicideEvent):

__init__(module, person_id)

Create a new event.

Note that just creating an event does not schedule it to happen; that must be done by calling Simulation.schedule_event.

Parameters:

• module – the module that created this event. All subclasses of Event take this as the first argument in their constructor, but may also take further keyword arguments.

• priority – a keyword-argument to set the priority (see Priority enum)

apply(person_id)

Apply this event to the given target.

Must be implemented by subclasses.

Parameters:

target – the target of the event

class DepressionLoggingEvent(module)

This is the LoggingEvent for Depression. It runs every 3 months and gives: * population summaries for statuses for Depression at that time. * counts of events of self-harm and suicide that have occurred in the 3 months prior

Bases: tlo.events.RegularEvent, tlo.events.Event, tlo.events.PopulationScopeEventMixin

Class attributes:

__annotations__ : {}

Functions (defined or overridden in class DepressionLoggingEvent):

__init__(module)

Create a new regular event.

Parameters:

• module – the module that created this event

• frequency (pandas.tseries.offsets.DateOffset) – the interval from one occurrence to the next (must be supplied as a keyword argument)

apply(population)

Apply this event to the given target.

This is a no-op; subclasses should override this method.

Parameters:

target – the target of the event

class HSI_Depression_TalkingTherapy(module, person_id)

This is a Health System Interaction Event in which a person receives a session of talking therapy. It is one of a course of 5 sessions (at months 0, 6, 12, 18, 24). If one of these HSI does not happen then no further sessions occur. Sessions after the first have no direct effect, as the only property affected is reflects ever having had one session of talking therapy.

Bases: tlo.methods.healthsystem.HSI_Event, tlo.events.IndividualScopeEventMixin

Functions (defined or overridden in class HSI_Depression_TalkingTherapy):

__init__(module, person_id)

Create a new event.

Note that just creating an event does not schedule it to happen; that must be done by calling Simulation.schedule_event.

Parameters:

module – the module that created this event. All subclasses of Event take this as the first argument in their constructor, but may also take further keyword arguments.

apply(person_id, squeeze_factor)

Set the property de_ever_talk_ther to be True and schedule the next session in the course if the person has not yet had 5 sessions.

class HSI_Depression_Start_Antidepressant(module, person_id)

This is a Health System Interaction Event in which a person is started on anti-depressants. The facility_level is modified as a input parameter.

Bases: tlo.methods.healthsystem.HSI_Event, tlo.events.IndividualScopeEventMixin

Functions (defined or overridden in class HSI_Depression_Start_Antidepressant):

__init__(module, person_id)

Create a new event.

Note that just creating an event does not schedule it to happen; that must be done by calling Simulation.schedule_event.

Parameters:

module – the module that created this event. All subclasses of Event take this as the first argument in their constructor, but may also take further keyword arguments.

apply(person_id, squeeze_factor)

Apply this event to the population.

Must be implemented by subclasses.

class HSI_Depression_Refill_Antidepressant(module, person_id)

This is a Health System Interaction Event in which a person seeks a refill prescription of anti-depressants. The next refill of anti-depressants is also scheduled. If the person is flagged as not being on antidepressants, then the event does nothing and returns a blank footprint. If it does not run, then person ceases to be on anti-depressants and no further refill HSI are scheduled.

Bases: tlo.methods.healthsystem.HSI_Event, tlo.events.IndividualScopeEventMixin

Functions (defined or overridden in class HSI_Depression_Refill_Antidepressant):

__init__(module, person_id)

Create a new event.

Note that just creating an event does not schedule it to happen; that must be done by calling Simulation.schedule_event.

Parameters:

module – the module that created this event. All subclasses of Event take this as the first argument in their constructor, but may also take further keyword arguments.

apply(person_id, squeeze_factor)

Apply this event to the population.

Must be implemented by subclasses.

did_not_run()

Called when this event is due but it is not run. Return False to prevent the event being rescheduled, or True to allow the rescheduling. This is called each time that the event is tried to be run but it cannot be.
