Abstract

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) or Takotsubo syndrome is a syndrome indicated by the presence of temporary left ventricle (LV) regional systolic dysfunction which mimics the symptoms of myocardial infarction. TTS patients have been reported to experience severe and sudden emotional or physical distress and the previous diagnosis of psychiatric disorders may be reported among some of the patients indicating the relationship between an emotional stressor and cardiac dysfunction. The sympathetic nervous system and catecholamines play an essential role to mediate the effect of emotional stressors on the heart. This article briefly discusses the relationship between the emotional stressor and cardiac dysfunction in TTC.

Tuberculosis is divided into two groups: latent tuberculosis and active tuberculosis. The diagnosis of tuberculosis can be established through anamnesis and investigations. Tuberculosis is often associated with levels of depression, the high incidence of depression in tuberculosis patients is caused by various factors including biological factors of the immune response system (IFN-g agents, TNF, IDO NALP3), social factors and behavioral factors. Management of anti-depressant therapy that is recommended as the first line is the SSRI group. Furthermore, patients with drug withdrawal or treatment failure, high risk of drug resistance, bad stigma about their disease will increase the risk of depression.

Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) significantly impacts patients' mental health, especially in generating depression. It is affected by RA clinical presentations of deformities, pain, and disability that significantly affect patient quality of life and become a stressor to mental comorbidities. Clinicians and society often overlook mental issues related to a disease, including patients and their families. Mental issues, especially depression, have become a global burden for people of all ages. This review presents the recent study of depression as a comorbid to rheumatoid arthritis patients. Recent studies correlate depression with increased RA progressivity that is mediated by inflammation mechanisms. Through this mechanism, the RA progressivity affects the occurrence of depression, but also, the depression worsens the RA symptoms. Although most RA therapy help reducing depression, a few do the opposite. Some of the assessment has been developed in helping clinicians evaluate RA disease activity and depression early. The understanding dan awareness of the bidirectional mechanism will help clinicians improve the management of rheumatoid arthritis and depression.

Abstract

Tinnitus has been a worldwide complaint and refers to the bothersome auditory perception in the absence of external acoustic or electric stimulus. There is no consolidated criterion for tinnitus definition for the purpose of research. The most common definition of tinnitus demonstrates that tinnitus must exceed a 5-min duration. Tinnitus affecting 8 to 25.3% of the population of the United States and the world. Psychiatric disorders such as anxiety and depression are often comorbid in patients with chronic tinnitus, and these conditions can not only be troublesome and debilitating, they have been shown to increase morbidity and the risk of suicide among patients with tinnitus. This literature review aims to identify association between depression and tinnitus. The articles selected were all published within the past five years from PubMed. 7 articles were obtained and were included in the review. Based on the articles, hearing loss, noise, stress and depression have proven to be markers without differentiating between cause and effect. The etiology and pathogenesis of the interrelationships between psychological complaints or illnesses and tinnitus stress are not sufficiently understood despite intensive research efforts. In conclusion, the question of whether depression is the cause of the tinnitus or tinnitus is the cause of the depression, or whether there are other dependencies, remains unanswered.
