La comunicación de los trastornos mentales en la población juvenil es un reto que se presenta a las instituciones públicas y privadas debido al gran alcance que los trastornos mentales tienen entre la población juvenil (Costas-Pérez et al., 2023). Esta comunicación debe ir encaminada a concienciar a la sociedad, pero también debe servir para luchar contra estereotipos que se han enquistado en ella (López et al., 2008). El escenario actual nos plantea determinar cuáles son las herramientas necesarias para difundir mensajes conciliadores a los más jóvenes. En este estadio, nos planteamos si la animación, debido a su proceso creativo, puede posicionarse como el soporte adecuado para conseguir los dos objetivos marcados: concienciar para desestigmatizar. Siguiendo la teoría de González-Pacanowski y Medina-Aguerrebere (2009); Okan et al., (2016) y Vivas (2021) que aseguran que los recursos visuales y gráficos pueden mejorar la comprensión de este tipo de información al simplificar mensajes complejos, realizaremos un estudio de los cortometrajes de animación What’s Up With Everyone? (Aardman, 2021), con el objetivo de determinar cómo se construye el discurso narrativo y cómo los elementos audiovisuales son clave para conseguir comprender y empatizar con las personas que sufren de trastornos mentales. El análisis de estos cinco cortometrajes de animación nos permite afirmar que la animación logra, gracias a la creatividad y a la creación de universos imaginarios, conectar con la audiencia mediante la empatía, un requisito básico para despertar conciencias.

Introducción: La pandemia de COVID-19 ha traído consecuencias en la salud mental de la población universitaria de enfermería. Objetivo: Identificar los factores relacionados con las alteraciones en la salud mental de universitarios de los programas de enfermería durante la pandemia por COVID-19. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio transversal multicéntrico, en estudiantes de enfermería de dos universidades colombianas y una española durante la pandemia por COVID-19. Se aplicó una encuesta por internet sobre aspectos sociodemográficos, económicos y personales, junto con los cuestionarios de salud mental GHQ-12, APGAR familiar, apoyo social MOS y estrés postraumático IES-R. Se estimó la prevalencia de alteraciones de la salud mental y sus diferencias según las características de los estudiantes, también se obtuvieron razones de prevalencia. Resultados: En 302 estudiantes se encontró una prevalencia de alteraciones mentales de importancia clínica de 61,92%, de disfunción familiar en 61,58%, con bajo apoyo social en 9,33%; además, presentaron síntomas de estrés postraumático (44,46%), sufrieron dificultades económicas (52,65%), académicas (54,61%) y personales (69,87%). Adicionalmente, estas alteraciones fueron más prevalentes ante una disfuncionalidad familiar moderada (RP=1,77 IC95%=1,15;2,73), ante la dificultad para pagar alimentos (RP=1,35 IC95%=1,09;1,67), la pérdida de la pareja (RP=1,27 IC95%=1,02;1,59) y ante síntomas de estrés postraumático (RP=1,69 IC95%=1,28;2,24). Discusión: El sufrimiento psicológico y sus factores relacionados encontrados en los estudiantes de enfermería concuerdan con otros hallazgos en la literatura. Conclusión: Una importante proporción de estudiantes de enfermería estuvieron afectados en su salud mental durante la pandemia, mostrando una necesidad de estrategias sistemáticas, continuas e integrales por parte de las instituciones formativas.

The purpose of this review is to analyze the use of natural language processing in the research of mental disorders in adults, such as depression, anxiety, and grief. A search was conducted in four relevant databases (PubMed, IEEE, ScienceDirect, and LILACS) to identify studies published in Spanish and English from 2017 to 2022, with no restrictions on the country of origin. MeSH terms and free-text terms were used to identify research on the application of natural language processing in the detection of mental health conditions, such as anxiety, depression, and grief. In total, 136 related studies were found, of which 32 were selected for this review. An increase in the use of natural language processing in public health was observed, especially between the years 2020 and 2022. Furthermore, it was noted that social media is a frequently used source of data in these studies, and supervised machine learning models are the most common for detecting depression and anxiety. Natural language processing can enhance the detection of mental health issues in public health. While supervised learning methods are the most common, deep learning-based algorithms offer innovative perspectives, and it is expected that this technology will continue to grow to improve the detection and treatment of mental disorders. It is crucial to continue researching and developing these technologies for their application in public health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introducción. Los trastornos mentales (TM) son causas de morbilidad y representan el 13 % de la carga mundial de enfermedad, su prevalencia a lo largo de la vida oscila entre el 12 % y el 44 % y el total de años vividos con discapacidad por esto aumento entre el 22 % y el 49 % en todo el mundo. Objetivo. Estimar la prevalencia de trastornos mentales en la Clínica Nuestra Señora de la Paz, en Bogotá durante el periodo 2001-2017. Metodología y métodos. Este es un estudio transversal, descriptivo de fuentes secundarias basada en los registros individuales de prestador de servicio (RIPS) de acuerdo con la Clasificación Internacional de las Enfermedades (CIE-10). En el periodo analizado se observaron 314 091 pacientes. Resultados. El promedio de edad es de 37 años, las mujeres representan el 57.92 %, el 60.48 % de la población está entre los 18 y 59 años, el 90.34 % de los pacientes han sido atendidos por consulta externa. Las principales prevalencias de los diagnósticos fueron: trastornos depresivos (F32-F39) en 39.92 % de los casos, trastornos de ansiedad (F40-F432) en 0.51 %, trastorno bipolar (F30-F39) en 16.62%, trastornos emocionales y del comportamiento que aparecen habitualmente en la niñez o en la adolescencia (F90-F98) en 17.81 %. Conclusiones. Los factores involucrados en el incremento de las prevalencias de los TM pueden ser genéticos, sociales, psicológicos, exposición a traumas, económicos (pobreza, migración, desigualdad, desempleo, etc.), ambientales, especialmente en el periodo pospandemia, el aumento de la esperanza de vida, la urbanización con estilos de vida estresantes, el uso excesivo de la tecnología, el estigma, la discriminación y la falta de modelos de atención principalmente comunitarios, entre otros. En este estudio se encontró que la población joven presenta mayor riesgo de TM, principalmente las mujeres y existe una tendencia al incremento de los TM tales como trastornos depresivos, de ansiedad, consumo de sustancias y demencias, tanto en hombres como en mujeres.

Mental health is a dynamic state, expressed in daily life through the behavior and interaction of an individual and groups, in which the available emotional, cognitive, and mental resources are deployed to live, work, interact and contribute to the society. The main objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of the reasons for consultation of the population of the department of Quindío and the north of the department of Valle del Cauca who attended the Integral Psychology Center of a Colombian higher education institution between 2020 and 2022. The sample consisted of 404 consultants who agreed to participate in the study through informed consent. By gender, the most prevalent reasons for consultation were emotional problems in women (22.4 %), and school problems in men (22.4 %). The main reason for consultation in children is school problems (37 %) and in adolescents it is emotional problems (25.5 %). In adulthood, the most common reasons for consultation are marital relationship problems (between 6 % and 23.7 %), and bereavement (23.5 %). The findings suggest the need to plan regional prevalence studies and to carry out a judicious review of public health policies, to include other problems that may be the object of clinical attention as priority intervention.

Background: Common mental disorders are among the leading contributors to the burden of disease in Chile and Latin America. Gender and socioeconomic position are important social determinants of mental health. Objective: This study is aimed at determining the role of the double burden of paid job and unpaid domestic work in the association of social determinants with common mental disorders. Methods: Secondary analyses of a sample representative of the employed or recently employed Chilean population between 2009-2010. Logistic models were used to determine the association between the variables of interest and positive screen for common mental disorders. Results: Positive screen for common mental disorders was two times as frequent in women, compared to men, but the association between gender and the outcome was not observed when controlling for the double burden of paid and unpaid work. Income was associated with common mental disorders only among men. Conclusions: The distribution of the double burden of paid and unpaid work, which is more frequent among women, could contribute to the higher frequency of common mental disorders among them. It is important that social and labor public policies address this issue, to reduce the gap experienced by women with respect to paid work, and to foster co-responsibility in domestic and care tasks.

Objective. To describe the characteristics and experiences of family caregivers of persons with mental disorders in a highly complex institution. Materials and methods. Mixed method, explanatory study, with an initial quantitative and then qualitative sequence. The quantitative phase was carried out using validated instruments: characterization sheet of the person with chronic illness-family caregiver dyad; the Nkongho Caregiving Ability Inventory (CAI), and the Zarit burden scale. The qualitative phase was conducted with a hermeneutic phenomenological approach; the information was collected through in-depth interviews to understand the needs of the caregivers. Results. The caregivers were mostly women, mainly mothers and daughters, home-occupied and self-employed, with basic primary education, low socioeconomic level and low caregiving skill level; a significant number of caregivers perceived some degree of overload. The themes identified in the analysis of the interviews were: feeling fear before the disease; the experience of caregiver fatigue; losing one's job: another cost of the disease; fear of delegating care; love: a support for the caregiver; needing support to care. Conclusions. The caregiver experiences a complex situation associated with the high demand for care, and conditions under which mental health impairment progresses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study shows the results of the application of a new virtual reality program, designed to raise awareness of stigma towards people with mental health problems. Specifically, the software, called Inclúyete VR, shows first a person who is suffering from hallucinations (graphically represented by “monsters”) and, later, different psychosocial rehabilitation programs that are used for the social inclusion of people with severe mental disorder. A sample of 12 psychologists who were currently taking the Master of General Health Psychology use Inclúyete VR. The results obtained showed that stigma was reduced in a statistically significant way in these professionals. Likewise, they valued with more than 8 points (on a scale of 1-10) the interest and usefulness of the program. The importance of these results and future lines of research are discussed.

Since December 2019, 414,179 cases of people with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been reported. As a result of the rapid increase in confirmed cases and deaths, population and health personnel, have experienced psychological problems, such as anxiety, depression, and stress. Although scientific information on COVID-19 is constantly increasing, it mainly focuses on genetic, epidemiological aspects, and public health measures, leaving aside possible effects on mental health. In order to summarize the current evidence, we present a narrative review of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health. So far, the presence of anxiety, depression, and stress has been reported mostly in general population. Nonetheless, mental health issues have also been reported in health care workers, especially among female professionals, nurses, and those who work directly with suspected or confirmed cases of COVID-19. In efforts to reduce the spread of the disease, attention should be paid to the diagnosis and treatment of mental health issues. We believe that addressing them adequately will empower Peru to contain and eradicate COVID-19.

People vulnerable to mental health problems during the COVID-19 outbreak include hospitalized patients and frontline health professionals; mostly reported discomforts include: insomnia, anxiety and depression. Under strict infection measures, non-essential personnel such as clinical psychiatrists and psychologists are strongly discouraged from entering isolation wards; therefore, frontline healthcare workers become the main personnel providing psychological interventions to patients in hospitals without knowing how to mitigate patient distress. Health personnel do not receive adequate care for due to lack of time, stigma associated with using mental health services and fear of unwanted intervention. Remote care tools such as tele-psychiatry and online psychological intervention have disadvantages for conditions requiring physical examination. The National Health Commission of China released guiding principles to reduce the psychosocial effects of the COVID-19 outbreak recommending the creation of mental health teams. In this article we present the data obtained by a mental health team in a COVID-19 hospital of the Mexican Institute of Social Security, showing differences in emotional discomfort and diagnoses of mental disorders in patients in isolation and in frontline health personnel, suggesting the need for teams made up of psychiatry and psychology staff with face-to-face on site assessments.

Introducción: Salud mental se define como un estado de bienestar en el cual el individuo es consciente de sus propias capacidades, puede afrontar las actividades cotidianas de la vida, laborar de forma productiva y es capaz de hacer una contribución a su comunidad; al mismo tiempo la salud mental es algo más que la ausencia de trastornos mentales es parte integral de la salud. En Colombia el Ministerio de Salud y Protección Social ,el plan decenal de salud pública 2012-2021; dentro del marco de la Ley 1751 de 2015- la ley Estatutaria en Salud-, secundario a las inequidades en los servicio de salud, el ministerio bajo la ley 1751 construye la Política de Atención integral en Salud y el modelo de atención integral en salud como alternativa para la solución de problemas y para ello retoma estrategias como la APS con enfoque familiar y comunitario, el cuidado y gestión integral del riesgo y el enfoque diferencial. Métodos: Estudio observacional, descriptivo de corte transversal con temporalidad retrospectiva de los pacientes con trastornos mentales en un periodo comprendido entre 2017-2018 en el municipio de Neiva Huila, en el Hospital Universitario Hernando Moncaleano Perdomo. Resultados: La depresión fue la patología más prevalente con un 24,16%, seguida por la esquizofrenia con un 14,62%. El promedio de edad fue de 36 años, la mayor frecuencia fue en el género masculino con el 55,32%, con una razón hombre-mujer de 1,23. El servicio donde atendieron a la mayor población psiquiátrica fue por consulta externa con un porcentaje de 62,94%. Conclusiones: Los trastornos mentales y del comportamiento son un problema creciente en salud mental a nivel global, nacional y regional aunado a ello el consumo de sustancias psicoactivas como patología dual incrementa el riesgo de padecer patologías psiquiátricas. Esta caracterización interna, nos ha permitido entender que las proyecciones escandalosas de Goldberg y Huxley son una realidad, que se calcan en el Departamento del Huila, y que nuestra Unidad Mental se convierte solo en un grano de arena en el desierto.

El suicidio es una problemática grave de salud pública en México y en el mundo. La Organización Mundial de la Salud señala que cada año mueren por este medio aproximadamente 800 mil personas. De origen multifactorial, los factores de riesgo del suicidio incluyen elementos biológicos, psicológicos, sociales y culturales y, sobre todo, los trastornos mentales y las crisis de vida. Precisamente en estos dos ámbitos es donde se inserta el impacto que la pandemia del Covid-19 ha tenido en la población general, en quienes han dado positivo a este virus y en el personal sanitario. Pese a que aún es pronto para reconocer con seguridad la huella profunda de la pandemia en diferentes ámbitos y, en particular, en la muerte autoprovocada, es indudable que la crisis sanitaria ha develado la imperiosa necesidad de reflexionar sobre la solidaridad, el principio de sociabilidad, subsidiariedad y la vulnerabilidad del ser humano.

The literature has studied the effects of previous epidemics on the mental health of the population. In the context of the current COVID-19 pandemic, it is of interest to study what has been published regarding this issue, considering that unlike recent epidemics, the current one has occurred worldwide, with higher numbers of contagion and mortality, with periods of longer social restrictions, altering various dimensions in the life of the population. The different implications of the COVID-19 pandemic with mental health and psychiatric diseases were collected in a general form, using the literature published in PubMed during the first months of the pandemic. The literature shows that the current pandemic has negatively influenced various dimensions of mental health in the general and specific population. Other implications reviewed are: alcohol and drugs, grief, patients with previous mental disorders, social networks, mental health services, telepsychiatry, among others. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: Identifying in Brazilian and international scientific literature, the mental health repercussions caused by the new coronavirus (COVID 19) in nurses working on the front line of healthcare systems since the pandemic outbreak in Wuhan. Methods: An integrative literature revision was made in April 2020 into the following databases: Virtual Health Library, Brazil (BVS); Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), USA; Scopus, and CINAHL. Results: Nine papers were included in the final sample; they highlighted the scarcity of material resources in the hospitals and the prevalence of higher levels of mental health suffering in the nurses compared to the other professional workers on the frontline. Conclusion: It is evident that the mental health of nurses handling the Covid-19 pandemic is a topic that needs more attention not only from researchers but also from health managers and other authorities in charge of health policies.

Objetivo. Analizar el comportamiento de los costos médicos directos en relación al número de intentos de suicidio y comparar los costos de atención cognitivo-conductual respecto al tratamiento convencional. Métodos. Se cuantificaron los costos por prestación de servicios hospitalarios por intento de suicidio en 248 pacientes con diagnóstico de enfermedad mental atendidos en la empresa social del estado (E.S.E.) Hospital Mental de Antioquia y se implementó una evaluación de costo-consecuencia. Resultados. Se encontró que los costos directos promedio de la atención de pacientes con cuatro o más intentos de suicidio fueron equivalentes a 5 641 dólares estadounidenses (USD), con una diferencia de USD 5 490 respecto al grupo con un solo intento. Además, dichos costos aumentaron conforme se incrementó el número de intentos. Por último, el diagnóstico de enfermedad mental (p. ej., cronicidad), el método de intento y la necesidad de servicios especializados se relacionaron con el incremento en los costos directos. Conclusiones. La implementación de estrategias preventivas desde la salud pública que evalúen y hagan seguimiento a los factores psicosociales podría reducir la presentación de la problemática y de sus costos médicos directos.

Since December 2019, 414,179 cases of people with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been reported. As a result of the rapid increase in confirmed cases and deaths, population and health personnel, have experienced psychological problems, such as anxiety, depression, and stress. Although scientific information on COVID-19 is constantly increasing, it mainly focuses on genetic, epidemiological aspects, and public health measures, leaving aside possible effects on mental health. In order to summarize the current evidence, we present a narrative review of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health. So far, the presence of anxiety, depression, and stress has been reported mostly in general population. Nonetheless, mental health issues have also been reported in health care workers, especially among female professionals, nurses, and those who work directly with suspected or confirmed cases of COVID-19. In efforts to reduce the spread of the disease, attention should be paid to the diagnosis and treatment of mental health issues. We believe that addressing them adequately will empower Peru to contain and eradicate COVID-19. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: to describe the experiences of members of families that have children with mental disorders. Method: qualitative research, with the hybrid oral thematic history method carried out with eight family members in a Specialized Educational Service Center. Data were collected from March to May 2017, via semi-structured interviews. Results: two categories emerged: Emotions, feelings and difficulties experienced by family members of children with mental disorders; and, Support for family, social and health support for children with mental disorders. The family reported tiredness, exhaustion, guilt and insecurity, revealing important changes in the family dynamics following the diagnosis of mental disorder. Final considerations: family members lack information about mental disorders; need to adapt the family routine to attend to the child; and require support from family, friends, teachers and other professionals so that they can take care of their child.

Aim: to analyze the structure, bonds and support network of a family that lives with a person with mental disorder through the construction of the genogram and ecomap. Method: a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive study, conducted with two people from a family living with a person with mental disorder, in a hospital located in Rio Grande do Sul. A semi-structured interview guided by the Guide for Evaluation and Family Intervention was used. The analysis consisted of the construction of the genogram and ecomap, with the aid of genealogy software. Results: family bonds are weak. The support network is centered on emergency, outpatient and inpatient services; there is a precariousness of substitute services and places for social reintegration. Conclusion: the implementation of the genogram and ecomap in care for people with mental disorders are tools that help in the planning of care and interventions in the family context.
