Abstract

IntroductionThe current study aimed to investigate the rates of anxiety, clinical depression, and suicidality and their changes in health professionals during the COVID-19 outbreak.Materials and methodsThe data came from the larger COMET-G study. The study sample includes 12,792 health professionals from 40 countries (62.40% women aged 39.76 ± 11.70; 36.81% men aged 35.91 ± 11.00 and 0.78% non-binary gender aged 35.15 ± 13.03). Distress and clinical depression were identified with the use of a previously developed cut-off and algorithm, respectively.Statistical analysisDescriptive statistics were calculated. Chi-square tests, multiple forward stepwise linear regression analyses, and Factorial Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) tested relations among variables.ResultsClinical depression was detected in 13.16% with male doctors and 'non-binary genders' having the lowest rates (7.89 and 5.88% respectively) and 'non-binary gender' nurses and administrative staff had the highest (37.50%); distress was present in 15.19%. A significant percentage reported a deterioration in mental state, family dynamics, and everyday lifestyle. Persons with a history of mental disorders had higher rates of current depression (24.64% vs. 9.62%; p

Abstract

IntroductionDuring the COVID-19 pandemic various degrees of lockdown were applied by countries around the world. It is considered that such measures have an adverse effect on mental health but the relationship of measure intensity with the mental health effect has not been thoroughly studied. Here we report data from the larger COMET-G study pertaining to this question.Material and methodsDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, data were gathered with an online questionnaire from 55,589 participants from 40 countries (64.85% females aged 35.80 ± 13.61; 34.05% males aged 34.90±13.29 and 1.10% other aged 31.64±13.15). Anxiety was measured with the STAI, depression with the CES-D and suicidality with the RASS. Distress and probable depression were identified with the use of a previously developed cut-off and algorithm respectively.Statistical analysisIt included the calculation of Relative Risk (RR), Factorial ANOVA and Multiple backwards stepwise linear regression analysis RESULTS: Approximately two-thirds were currently living under significant restrictions due to lockdown. For both males and females the risk to develop clinical depression correlated significantly with each and every level of increasing lockdown degree (RR 1.72 and 1.90 respectively). The combined lockdown and psychiatric history increased RR to 6.88 The overall relationship of lockdown with severity of depression, though significant was small.ConclusionsThe current study is the first which reports an almost linear relationship between lockdown degree and effect in mental health. Our findings, support previous suggestions concerning the need for a proactive targeted intervention to protect mental health more specifically in vulnerable groups.

Abstract

IntroductionThere are few published empirical data on the effects of COVID-19 on mental health, and until now, there is no large international study.Material and methodsDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, an online questionnaire gathered data from 55,589 participants from 40 countries (64.85% females aged 35.80 ± 13.61; 34.05% males aged 34.90±13.29 and 1.10% other aged 31.64±13.15). Distress and probable depression were identified with the use of a previously developed cut-off and algorithm respectively.Statistical analysisDescriptive statistics were calculated. Chi-square tests, multiple forward stepwise linear regression analyses and Factorial Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) tested relations among variables.ResultsProbable depression was detected in 17.80% and distress in 16.71%. A significant percentage reported a deterioration in mental state, family dynamics and everyday lifestyle. Persons with a history of mental disorders had higher rates of current depression (31.82% vs. 13.07%). At least half of participants were accepting (at least to a moderate degree) a non-bizarre conspiracy. The highest Relative Risk (RR) to develop depression was associated with history of Bipolar disorder and self-harm/attempts (RR = 5.88). Suicidality was not increased in persons without a history of any mental disorder. Based on these results a model was developed.ConclusionsThe final model revealed multiple vulnerabilities and an interplay leading from simple anxiety to probable depression and suicidality through distress. This could be of practical utility since many of these factors are modifiable. Future research and interventions should specifically focus on them.

Abstract

Objective: Adaptation to Peruvian population of the Pediatric Symptoms Checklist (PSC-17), a questionnaire that assists in the identification of emotional and behavioral problems in children and adolescents between 6 to 17 years. Method: On the basis of the original texts of PSC-17 in English and Spanish and the Chilean version, a committee of five experts proceeded to the adaptation of the 17 items for parents and caregivers and for adolescents. Results: Some items were kept identical to one of the two revised Spanish versions; others remained similar to the Chilean version, and some had to be slightly modified to match Peruvian Spanish. Conclusions: The final Peruvian version of the PSC-17 would facilitate the detection of mental health problems in children and adolescents in our country, even though it is still necessary to subsequently carry out pertinent studies of its psychometric properties. Objetivo: Adaptación cultural para uso en la población peruana de la Lista de Verificación de Síntomas Pediátricos (Pediatric Symptoms Checklist, PSC-17), un cuestionario que asiste en la identificación de problemas emocionales y conductuales en individuos de 6 a 17 años. Método: Sobre la base de los textos originales del PSC-17 en inglés y español y de la versión chilena, un comité de cinco expertos llevó a cabo la adaptación de los 17 ítems para la versión de padres y cuidadores y para la de adolescentes. Resultados: Algunos ítems se conservaron idénticos a una de las dos versiones en español; otros se mantuvieron similares a la versión chilena y algunos tuvieron que modificarse ligeramente para ajustarse al idioma español de uso en Perú. Conclusiones: La versión peruana final del PSC-17 facilitaría la detección de problemas de salud mental en niños y adolescentes en nuestro país, aun cuando es necesario llevar a cabo posteriormente estudios sobre sus propiedades psicométricas.

16. Trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad (TDAH) en niños y adolescentes. Una revisión clínica

Author

Rusca-Jordán, Fiorella and Cortez-Vergara, Carla

Abstract

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition whose main symptoms are inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. ADHD has been associated with a model of pathophysiological heterogeneity, in which, among others, executive functions are mostly affected, generating significant difficulties in responding to certain stimuli, planning and organizing a variety of actions, reflecting on possible consequences, and inhibiting the first, initial automatic response to substitute it with a more appropriate one. ADHD accounts for up to 50% of consultations in child psychiatry, and its prevalence has been estimated between 2% and 12% of the pediatric population. It is multifactorial in origin and, in 70% of the cases, it can coexist with other psychiatric and neurological disorders. The diagnosis is basically clinical and requires, ideally, a careful medical examination as well as exhaustive interviews with parents or caregivers and teachers, as well as, the interview of the child or adolescent whenever possible. Every child or adolescent with ADHD should have a comprehensive, individualized treatment plan that considers the chronicity and impact of the condition, and involves psychopharmacological and/or therapeutic behavioral measures to improve the central manifestations of ADHD and a possible associated functional decline. El trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad (TDAH) es una alteración del neurodesarrollo, cuyos síntomas principales son inatención, hiperactividad e impulsividad. El TDAH se ha asociado a un modelo de heterogeneidad fisiopatológica, en el que se encuentran afectadas, entre otras, las funciones ejecutivas, implicando significativas dificultades para responder a determinados estímulos, planificar y organizar acciones, reflexionar sobre posibles consecuencias e inhibir una respuesta automática inicial a fin de sustituirla por una más apropiada. El TDAH abarca hasta un 50% de las consultas en psiquiatría infantil y su prevalencia se ha estimado entre un 2 a 12% de la población pediátrica; es de origen multifactorial y en el 70% de casos, puede coexistir con otros trastornos psiquiátricos y neurológicos. El diagnóstico es básicamente clínico y requiere, idealmente, de un examen cuidadoso, así como de entrevistas exhaustivas a los padres o cuidadores y profesores además de la entrevista al niño(a) o adolescente en la medida de lo posible. Todo niño(a) o adolescente con TDAH debe tener un plan integral de tratamiento individualizado, que considere la potencial cronicidad y el impacto del cuadro, involucrando manejo psicofarmacológico y/o enfoques terapéuticos conductuales para mejorar las manifestaciones centrales de esta condición y un posible deterioro funcional asociado.

17. La cura de sueño en la historia

Author

Stucchi-Portocarrero, Santiago and Cortez-Vergara, Carla

Abstract

At the end of the 19th century, substances such as bromides began to be used to induce deep sleep in people with mental disorders. The use of barbiturates for the same purpose was reported by Epifanio in 1913, but it was Kläsi, in the early 1920s, who most successfully fostered the administration of such agents, particularly Somnifen, for what he called “sleep cure” or “prolonged narcosis” (dauernarkose). In 1934 Cloettal, a mixture of barbiturates and other compounds, was introduced to replace Somnifen. The use of this procedure declined with the appearance of other therapeutic methods, but continued for several decades. In the Soviet Union, sleep cure was influenced by the Pavlovian doctrine, and used for both mental disorders and conditions considered as psychosomatic. The method’s greatest discredit occurred at Chelmsford Hospital in Australia, where 25 deaths associated with its use were reported during the period 1963-1979. In 2009, the Royal College of Psychiatrists of Australia and New Zealand concluded that “deep sleep therapy and the administration of intravenous barbiturates has no place in the treatment of psychiatric disorders”. Even though, currently it is not part of any conventional treatment, sleep cure is still offered and requested. A finales del siglo XIX comenzaron a utilizarse sustancias tales como los bromuros para inducir sueño profundo en personas con trastornos mentales. El uso de barbitúricos con el mismo fin fue reportado por Epifanio en 1913, pero fue Kläsi quien difundió con más éxito la administración de aquellos medicamentos, particularmente el Somnifen, y la denominó “cura de sueño prolongado” o “narcosis prolongada” (dauernarkose), a partir de la década de 1920. En 1934 se introdujo el Cloettal, una mezcla de barbitúricos y otros compuestos, en reemplazo del Somnifen. El uso de este procedimiento declinó con la aparición de otros métodos terapéuticos, pero continuó por varias décadas. En la Unión Soviética, la cura de sueño estuvo influida por la doctrina pavloviana, y se usó tanto para trastornos mentales como para padecimientos considerados psicosomáticos. El mayor desprestigio del método se dio en el Hospital de Chelmsford, en Australia, donde se reportaron 25 muertes asociadas a su uso durante el periodo 1963-1979. En el 2009, el Colegio Real de Psiquiatras de Australia y Nueva Zelanda concluyó que “la terapia de sueño profundo y la administración de barbitúricos endovenosos no tiene lugar en el tratamiento de trastornos psiquiátricos”. Aun cuando en la actualidad no forma parte de ningún tratamiento convencional, la cura de sueño sigue siendo ofrecida y solicitada.

Article Subject, mental disorders
Abstract

An alleged reduction of sensitivity to pain in people with schizophrenia has been reported, but the nature of this complex phenomenon has not been elucidated yet. Reports of insensitivity to burns from people with schizophrenia are extremely rare. We report the case of a 24-year-old man who set both of his arms on fire during the first break of paranoid schizophrenia. As a result of severe tissue damage, both of his limbs had to be amputated. Today, at the age of 59, the patient is physically and mentally rehabilitated and is adherent to treatment. Additionally, given the uncertainty about the true nature of the alleged hypoalgesia in schizophrenia, we postulate the need for a comprehensive phenomenological approach in the study of embodiment in people with this condition.

Abstract

With the purpose of describe the profile of use of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) on hospitalized patients at "Honorio Delgado - Hideyo Noguchi" National Institute of Mental Health in Lima, Peru, the medical records of patients receiving ECT between 2001 and 2011 were reviewed. The main findings were: four hundred and nineteen ECT courses were applied to 372 patients, with a total of 5439 applications the most common diagnosis was paranoid schizophrenia (70.7%), the most common indication was resistance to treatment (80.7%), also the clinical response to ECT was good in 70.1% of cases while side effects were generally transient and mild. The use of ECT decreased over the period of the study but it was tolerable and safe, especially in the modified version, and it had a high response rate so remains as a first-line psychiatric treatment.
