Estudos no campo da psicologia forense confirmam que o crime tem origem multicausal, razão pela qual é essencial estudar os fatores de risco de forma abrangente. Há um nível mais alto de perigo criminal associado a um transtorno mental. Propõe-se como objectivo deste estudo determinar a existência de diferenças na prática de delitos penais em função da presença ou não de um distúrbio mental; bem como na avaliação das características da personalidade em crimes de violência de género e em função do sexo e da idade. Participaram 127 sujeitos (X̄ = 39.26 anos, DP = 11.880) de uma amostra forense cuja avaliação foi realizada entre 2010 e 2020. Como principais resultados, confirmou-se a existência de diferenças estatisticamente significativas de comissão criminal na amostra forense em papel do sexo e do transtorno nesse tipo de avaliação. Os homens foram acusados ​​de um maior número de crimes, com exceção de violência doméstica. Pessoas com e sem transtornos mentais foram associadas a diferentes tipos de crimes, com diferenças entre os diferentes grupos de transtornos. Além disso, foi encontrada a implicação de fatores intrínsecos da personalidade nos perpetradores da violência de gênero. Destaca-se a conveniência de aprofundar o estudo dos fatores envolvidos no comportamento criminoso em relação aos possíveis diagnósticos de saúde mental e transtorno de personalidade.

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: Mental disorders are alterations in several functional domains of human beings that trigger greater morbidity and mortality if not adequately addressed. The International Classification of Diseases 11th Edition (ICD11) is a recently approved modern global system to guide clinical practice for these disorders and other conditions. State of the art: Despite the imminent implementation of this system in member states, the guidelines on its scientific basis, practice and importance in public health have been published in a scattered manner, with a mainly psychiatric medical target audience, hence, it is necessary to unify these guidelines in a single text. Therefore, the objective of this review was to analyze three associated aspects: (a) current knowledge of the subject, (b) its application in psychological practice, and (c) reflection on the implications for public health policies. To do this, these aspects were divided into 10 sections with the most relevant topics, and examples have been described to facilitate their use and comments to promote their understanding. Conclusions: This paper presents a review that comprehensively addresses knowledgepractice-policy triad of mental disorders of the ICD-11. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

INTRODUCTION: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) causes functional, personal and social impact. Its association with fractures is little studied in Mexico. OBJECTIVE: To determine the history of fractures suggested by ADHD in undiagnosed patients aged 5 to 10 years. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Comparative observational, cross-sectional study in patients aged 5-10 years without diagnosis of ADHD; two groups were formed (with and without history of fracture). SNAP-IV was applied to evaluate ADHD. RESULTS: A total of 206 patients were recruited. Group A: 106 children with a history of fracture, mean age was 7.56 years, males predominated 65%, the most frequent fracture site was upper limbs 57.5% and ADHD present in 66%. Group B: 100 patients with no history of fracture, mean age was 7.56 years, male predominated 66%, presence of ADHD in 44%. SNAP IV showed differences in total score, and by domains. The presence of ADHD 66% in group A and 44% in group B, X2=10.111 p=0.001, OR=2.47 (IC95% 0.230-0.710), Phi-V=0.222, CC=0.216. CONCLUSIONS: There is an association between ADHD and the presence of fractures in children aged 5-10. Those with ADHD are 2.5 more times risk of fracture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Television series act as one of the primary sources of information on mental and neurological disorders. However, research on the accurate representation of mental disorders concerning their clinical reality is still lacking, mainly since it requires an interdisciplinary approach with higher complexity. This article aims to analyse the narrative depiction of depression, autism without intellectual disability, and antisocial personality disorder through three TV series case studies: Atypical (Netflix, 2017-2021), My Mad Fat Diary (E4, 2013-2015), and The End of The F***ing World (E4 & Netflix, 2017-2019). Moreover, it intends to identify which stereotypes are still predominant on-screen. Hence, the authors propose a narrative content analysis based on the medication, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) and Stahl's Essential Pharmacology Guide. By doing so, the authors apply a methodology based on the standard analysis measurement of different case studies under a unified pattern for mental disorders' adding intrinsic socio-economic and gender aspects. Results show that current TV series are trying to opt for better representations, but many still perpetuate misconceptions and misrepresentations due to a tension between showing realistic, educational values (edutainment) and opting for a gripping audiovisual and narrative drama. In conclusion, diverse realities are hardly achieved. Finally, newer TV series include commentary on how individual's may be the target of their own anger/frustrations, rather than directing it at the system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction. Hospital readmission of patients with mental illness is mainly caused by worsening of the underlying disorder; therefore, interventions focused on rehabilitation and social reintegration should be considered, being the transition to home care a strategy that contributes to the reduction of gaps, and an improved access to services and rehospitalizations. The present study seeks to identify and expose, from nursing care, which are the characteristics of the transition plan of the hospitalized patient in the mental health unit reported in the literature synthesizing the findings. Methodology. Scoping review according to the guidelines of the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis and the PRISMA report. The databases PubMed, Biblioteca Virtual en Salud, Nursingovid and ScienceDirect were consulted, including publications in Spanish, English and Portuguese in the period 2015-2021. Results. Fourteen articles were selected, identifying the following topics: Discharge Planning and Preparations; Continuity of Health Care; Social and Family Support for Discharge; and Therapeutic Adherence and Implications for Nursing Practice. Discussion. In line with other studies, the interventions that deal with good interpersonal relationships, social support and the generation of the link between the hospital and the community stand out. Conclusions. The retrieved literature reports five characteristics of the transition plan with nursing interventions that represent the success of the transition process for the patient.

Introducción. El hipotiroidismo congénito es la principal causa de discapacidad cognitiva prevenible en el mundo. Para detectarlo se han desarrollado programas de tamización, con el fin de disminuir las secuelas neurológicas asociadas. El seguimiento y las evaluaciones a mediano y largo plazo de estos pacientes son fundamentales. Objetivo. Describir las características demográficas, el tratamiento y el seguimiento de los pacientes con diagnóstico de hipotiroidismo congénito en el marco del programa de tamización del Hospital Universitario de San Ignacio en Bogotá, Colombia. Materiales y métodos. Se hizo un estudio observacional de corte transversal. La población de estudio fueron los pacientes con diagnóstico de hipotiroidismo congénito en el Hospital Universitario San Ignacio entre el 2001 y el 2017. Resultados. Se contactó a 14 de los 19 pacientes con diagnóstico de hipotiroidismo congénito en el programa de tamizaje del Hospital. Los 14 niños estaban escolarizados, y la mayoría tenía el peso y la talla adecuados, aunque hubo talla baja en dos de ellos. El diagnóstico etiológico más frecuente fue hipoplasia tiroidea. Todos empezaron su tratamiento y el seguimiento oportunamente. La alteración más frecuente en las pruebas neuropsicológicas se registró en la memoria. El nivel de educación materno podría estar relacionado con el resultado anormal en el dominio del lenguaje. Conclusión. En el presente estudio, las alteraciones en las pruebas de memoria fueron las más prevalentes; sin embargo, dado el diseño y el tipo de estudio, se requieren más investigaciones que permitan establecer asociaciones. El crecimiento y el desarrollo puberal presentaron una frecuencia baja de alteraciones.

Objective: SARS-CoV-2 outbreak has a negative psychological impact among general population. Data comparing mental health status before and during the outbreak is needed. The BIOVAL-D-COVID-19 study assess the socio-economic and psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown in a representative sample of non-institutionalized Spanish adult population, and estimate the incidence of mental health disorders, including suicidal behaviours, and possible related factors. Method: Observational longitudinal study including two online surveys: baseline survey (T0) performed during 2019 and follow-up survey (T1) conducted 12-month later. The latter included nine sections: socio-demographic, health status, mental health, employment conditions and status, material deprivation, use of healthcare services, intimate partner violence and resilience. Four of the nine sections are administered in T0 and T1 assessments. Longitudinal data analyses will estimate adjusted incidence rates of mental health disorders using Poisson regression models. Risk and protective factors will be analysed through multiple logistic regression models. Resumen: Objetivo: el estudio BIOVAL-D-COVID-19 evaluará el impacto socioeconómico y psicológico de la pandemia de COVID-19 y del confinamiento en una muestra representativa de población española adulta no institucionalizada, y estimará la incidencia de trastornos de salud mental, incluida la conducta suicida, y los posibles factores relacionados. Métodos: estudio longitudinal que incluye dos encuestas online: la encuesta basal (T0) realizada durante 2019 y la encuesta de seguimiento (T1) realizada 12 meses después. Esta última tiene nueve secciones: variables sociodemográficas, estado de salud general, salud mental, condiciones laborales y estatus laboral, privación material, uso de servicios de salud, violencia de pareja y resiliencia. Cuatro de las nueve secciones se administran en ambas encuestas (T0 y T1). Se utilizarán modelos de regresión de Poisson para el análisis longitudinal de las tasas de incidencia ajustadas de trastornos de salud mental. Los factores de riesgo y de protección se analizarán mediante modelos de regresión logística múltiple.

In the context of the 80th anniversary of the Mexican Institute for Social Security (Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, IMSS), there are several health problems and challenges to be faced in relation to user population, which currently represents 42% of Mexico's population. Among these issues, once five waves of COVID-19 infections have passed and mortality rates have decreased, mental and behavioral disorders stand out as a reemerging problem that should be prioritized. In response to this, in 2022 the Mental Health Comprehensive Program (MHCP, 2021-2024) took place, which represents, for the first time, the opportunity to provide health services that address mental disorders and addictions of the user population of IMSS, under the Primary Health Care model, i.e., prioritizing health promotion, risk factors prevention, screening, timely diagnosis, and not just hospitalization and drug supply. Among the MHCP strategies, which motivated the writing of this document, we highlight the availability of reliable data, through the census of mental and behavioral disorders, related to important characteristics in terms of population, state, hospital, prevalence of disorders, in order to act accordingly through the infrastructure and human resources available at IMSS, with emphasis on the first level of care.

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: This study sought to analyze psychosocial factors (sociodemographic characteristics, primary diagnosis, method of the attempt, cognition, and behavior) in relation to the number of suicide attempts in patients with a diagnosed mental illness who received care at Hospital Mental de Antioquia, from 2014 to 2016. We also had the objective of evaluating the associative relationship of such factors in recurrence per attempt. Methodology: Cross-sectional study that analyzes the abovementioned association in 248 people with diagnosed mental disorders. To this end, we first describe the sociodemographic and clinical profile; then, a multivariate logistic regression model is constructed to assess the association of psychosocial factors with the risk of recurrence per attempt. Results: The population was mainly young (12-20 years old) and female (62.9%), with a recurrence rate of 40%. Among the most relevant findings, there is a higher proportion of psychoactive substance use and low family/social support in patients with four episodes compared to those with one attempt. Predictors explaining the risk of suicide attempt recurrence were recurrent depression, little psychiatric follow-up, and the use of less lethal methods (wrist cutting). Conclusion: These results are key in the context of suicide prevention, as they identify factors that contribute to an increased number of suicide attempts and their recurrence, and they coincide with the time window for beginning surveillance of events in the Colombian system.

Objective: To know the perception of users, caregivers and health professionals about the implementation, operation and satisfaction related to their participation in psychosocial integration clubs (PIC) for people with diagnosis of schizophrenia in two districts of northern Lima. Materials and methods: This study had a qualitative methodological approach. In-depth interviews and 3 focus groups were conducted with 21 participants including users, family caregivers, and mental health professionals. The information was collected in December 2018. We analyzed the perceptions of the implementation process and satisfaction of the club’s users, their affective relationships and leisure, their link with families and socio-community networks, as well as the perceived limitations. Results: The perception of club’s users, caregivers and mental health professionals was favorable regarding the implementation, functioning and satisfaction of the users, as an integrating and socializing role, through their active participation, social reintegration in normalizing activities with their community, the health network and in the strengthening of family ties. PICs are perceived as spaces for socialization that have a relevant meaning in the lives of users. Conclusions: Participants perceive PICs as a space for well-being and adequate use of free time, which contributes to the rehabilitation of the user’s disease.

Objetivo: analizar el comportamiento de datos referentes a internaciones psiquiátricas en Piauí, entre 2008 y 2020. Método: estudio ecológico realizado con datos secundarios referentes a internaciones psiquiátricas entre 2008 y 2020 en Piauí, Brasil, obtenidos del Sistema de Información Hospitalaria/DATASUS. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo y otro de regresión lineal. Resultados: se encontró un total de 40.608 internaciones psiquiátricas. Las causas principales fueron esquizofrenia (17.877) y trastornos del estado de ánimo (8.239). Retraso mental y esquizofrenia presentaron mayores costos y tiempo medio de internación. De 2009 a 2012 se registró una caída en la cantidad de internaciones y entre 2016 y 2019 hubo un aumento, independientemente del sexo. Las internaciones fueron más frecuentes en adultos (94,4%) y en hombres (62,4%). Conclusión: la reducción en la cantidad de internaciones psiquiátricas en Piauí registrada entre 2009 y 2012 coincide con el cierre del hospital psiquiátrico en el estado y con el fortalecimiento de la Red de Atención Psicosocial. Los datos reflejan políticas de salud mental anteriores en el tiempo y permiten planificar estrategias de salud.

The scientific journalism of this article deals with a common exception in the specialized environment about various mental disorders associated with stress and its comorbidity, inadequate confrontation by the patient/family, its genetic-epigenetic condition and the deficient management provided by some health professionals. The disdain of psychotherapeutic management (prejudice-lack of preparation) hinders the adequate attention of cases. It is of the utmost importance to develop proper maternal and filial attachment, adequate measures for the achievement of social mental health and assistance programs to attend the cases.

This study evaluated available scientific evidence on the epidemiological characteristics of psychiatric hospitalizations. A search was carried out for articles in the VHL and PubMed databases, published between 2016 and 2021, on psychiatric hospitalizations registered from the perspective of DATASUS data. 13 articles were evaluated quantitatively and qualitatively. The results obtained depend on the variables used, due to the characteristics of the disorders, biopsychosocial profiles, culture, access to the health system and political issues in mental health. Over the years, the rate and length of hospital stays have been reduced, especially in long-term hospitalizations. Men are the individuals who most undergo psychiatric hospitalizations, especially in disorders related to substance use and abuse. The most serious disorders are the most sensitive to public policies, as they are the ones who most access mental health services and are more vulnerable to the harmful effects of the disorders.

Medical literature has shown that significant portions of the general population, including healthcare professionals, have a highly stigmatized view of mentally ill patients, which can lead to low quality health care and difficult access to treatment. To address this issue, we evaluated the mental health syllabus of a private medical school located in the capital city of a Southeastern Brazil State. That syllabus was conceived based on active educational methodology and in partnership with the local public mental health system, where all the practical academic activities took place. We conclude that the suggested model decreased stigmatization of the mentally ill among medical students and was positively evaluated by them. To achieve that goal, educational strategies had to be included that promote direct interaction of students with mentally ill patients and the beginning of medical school seems to be the right moment to offer this type of activity. This experience also showed that an efficient collaboration between the university and the Brazilian public health system may promote positive changes in mental health training of future Brazilian physicians.
