Resumo
As doenças neurodegenerativas são condições que afetam milhares de pessoas no
mundo, sendo que podem condicionar não só a capacidade do indivíduo de realizar tarefas do
dia-a-dia, como ter um grande impacto ao nível da saúde mental, nomeadamente no
desenvolvimento de sintomatologia depressiva. Este estudo pretende estudar se a
incapacidade geral, fadiga, dor, vergonha interna e externa e autocompaixão são preditores da
Depressão nos indivíduos portadores de doenças neurodegenerativas. Na amostra clínica
(n=93), observou-se que a incapacidade, a fadiga, a vergonha e a autocompaixão são
preditores da sintomatologia depressiva, sendo a incapacidade e a vergonha os principais
preditores significativos. Através de um maior conhecimento sobre os processos associados à
sintomatologia depressiva nestes doentes, é possível implementar medidas ao nível da
intervenção mais adequados para mitigar o impacto que estas doenças e sintomas associados
acarretam nesta população utilizando, por exemplo, estratégias que reforcem sentimentos de
autocompaixão e diminuam a vergonha que possa resultar das dificuldades e sentimentos de
incapacidade experimentados por estes doentes.

Neurodegenerative diseases are conditions that affect thousands of people around the world, and they can affect not only the individual's ability to carry out day-to-day tasks, but also have a great impact on mental health, namely in the development of depressive symptoms. . This study aims to study whether general disability, fatigue, pain, internal and external shame and self-compassion are predictors of depression in individuals with neurodegenerative diseases. In the clinical sample (n=93), it was observed that disability, fatigue, shame and self-compassion are predictors of depressive symptoms, with disability and shame being the main significant predictors. Through greater knowledge about the processes associated with depressive symptoms in these patients, it is possible to implement more appropriate intervention measures to mitigate the impact that these diseases and associated symptoms have on this population using, for example, strategies that reinforce feelings of self-compassion and reduce the shame that may result from the difficulties and feelings of inadequacy experienced by these patients. Keywords: Depression; Neurodegenerative Diseases; Pain; Fatigue; General Disability; Shame; Self-Compassion.
