Abstract

Childhood obesity is a significant public health issue in the 21st century. Scientists have shown interest in studying the effects of childhood obesity on several aspects of health. Obesity comorbidities encompass more than just physical issues. The effects of juvenile obesity are far-reaching and include psychological comorbidities. The objective of this review was to specifically examine the psychiatric comorbidities that are linked to pediatric obesity. A comprehensive search was performed in PubMed to identify articles that provide information on the coexistence of pediatric obesity and other medical conditions. The pertinent data were retrieved and reviewed in a narrative manner. Research has shown that childhood obesity is linked to psychological comorbidities, including depression, reduced perceived health-related quality of life, emotional and behavioral issues, and lower self-esteem during childhood.

Abstract

Anxiety and depressive disorder is a prevalent mental health disorder on a global scale, often exhibiting a high comorbidity rate with smoking behavior. This present review offers a comprehensive narrative synthesis of the latest scholarly studies pertaining to the influence of anxiety and depression on the onset, perpetuation, and cessation of smoking behavior. The existing literature exhibits variability in terms of the evidence supporting the association between anxiety or anxious symptoms and smoking behavior. The findings consistently indicate a significant association between anxiety and smoking, suggesting a high comorbidity rate between these two illnesses. The existing literature on the association between anxiety, depression and various factors such as onset, severity indicators, and cessation outcomes has yielded inconsistent findings. While there exists compelling data supporting the association between smoking and anxiety, notable distinctions may be observed regarding the specific impact of anxiety on the beginning, severity, and quitting outcomes of smoking. In the future, it will be necessary to employ more advanced approaches in order to ascertain causative relationships, as well as potential moderators and mediators, within the association between anxiety, depression and smoking habit.

Abstract

Various studies have reported the presence of psychiatric symptoms among individuals diagnosed with COVID-19, encompassing heightened stress levels, impaired cognitive function, depressive mood, anxiousness, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), psychotic symptoms, and suicidal ideation. The objective of this review was to elucidate the involvement of neurotransmitters in psychiatric disorders following the COVID-19 pandemic. There are multiple variables that can influence the results of research studies examining the presence of symptoms or the initiation of psychiatric disorders in individuals diagnosed with COVID-19. Factors associated with mental health difficulties include direct involvement in the healthcare field, presence of a psychiatric disease within the family, limited social support, advanced age, solitary living arrangements, and the utilization of high dosages of steroids during the acute phase. Multiple types of neurotransmitters are involved in the modulation of stress levels inside the human body. The neurotransmitters implicated in this process include dopamine, serotonin, epinephrine and norepinephrine, acetylcholine, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and glutamate. In summary, cytokines have a pivotal role in modulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis within the brain, hence potentially giving rise to psychiatric manifestations including impaired sleep, heightened stress, depressive affect, and several other psychological disturbances.

Abstract

Idiopathic hypersomnia affects 5% of the adult population, and both men and women are equally susceptible. Excessive sleep, sleep attacks, or wake-time delays are all examples of primary hypersomnia. Hypersomnia can be caused by a mental disorder, an organic condition (such as medications), or it might be idiopathic. This condition is the polar opposite of insomnia. Patients are frequently misdiagnosed as having mental illnesses or being sluggish. Hypersomnia patients require more sleep than the average person. The patient will generally sleep 1-2 times each day, with each nap lasting more than an hour. Despite the fact that they sleep a lot, they are usually weary and sluggish during the day. The causes of hypersomnia can be diverse, including neurological, medical, or psychological disorders. Neurotransmitters can also play a role in regulating a person's sleep patterns and alertness. This review aimed to describe neurotransmitters related to idiopathic hypersomnia.

Abstract

The issue of psychiatric disorders arising from the admission of inpatient patients and their relatives has persisted for a significant period of time. This phenomenon may occur as a result of psychological trauma experienced by either the patient or their family. The majority of the family members experience fear and anxiety around the potential loss of their loved ones. Recent research has indicated that a significant proportion, ranging from 51% to 69%, of individuals within familial relationships exhibit this particular occurrence. Outpatient cardiac arrest (OCA) is recognized as a highly influential occurrence in precipitating this psychological phenomenon. The management of critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) presents a complex and demanding task. The individual's status undergoes quick and unpredictable fluctuations. The presence of ambiguity gives rise to the development of delirium, which is characterized as a state of acute brain malfunction and is observed in 50–80% of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). The phenomenon is also correlated with prolonged hospitalizations and increased mortality rates. This review was aimed to described psychiatric disturbances in patients and relatives due to ICU admission.

Abstract

Trichotillomania is characterized by the compulsive act of pulling one's own hair, leading to hair loss and potentially causing functional impairment. Trichotillomania, a psychiatric disorder characterized by the compulsive need to pull out one's own hair, has been documented in the medical literature since the 19th century. Based on prevalence surveys, trichotillomania exhibits a notable presence throughout the population, with point prevalence estimates ranging from 0.5 to 2.0 percent. Trichotillomania, as delineated in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5, is categorized as an obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD); nonetheless, it exhibits notable distinctions from OCD across various dimensions. For instance, the use of habit reversal therapy and the administration of drugs like n-acetylcysteine or olanzapine are common ways to treat trichotillomania. It is important to note that these treatment approaches are not typically employed for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). In contrast, it appears that specific first-line medications for obsessive-compulsive disorder (such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) do not demonstrate efficacy in treating trichotillomania. This article provides an overview of the existing body of knowledge pertaining to trichotillomania, a psychiatric disorder characterized by compulsive hair pulling. It also examines the available empirical evidence that supports various treatment approaches for this condition.

Abstract

Introduction: Correctional institutions (LP) have various levels of security that are adjusted to the characteristics of the inmates accommodated in it. This level of security includes minimum, medium, and maximum prisons and often includes special prisons for prisoners with special needs or high danger. Differences in security levels present unique dynamics and challenges in contact between officers and inmates, perceptions of risk, and their impact on officers' mental health. Methods: This study is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 116 research subjects participated in this study. This study observes contact between officers and inmates using the contact with inmate scale. Perception of risk is measured by a scale compiled by Ferdik. The mental health assessment of correctional worker participants used the mental health inventory (MHI-38) made by Veit and Ware. Results: Officers in medium-security level penitentiaries have more positive contact with inmates than in maximum and super-maximum security level penitentiaries. Likewise, the aspect of officer risk perception in medium-security level penitentiaries shows a lower score than in maximum and super-maximum security level penitentiaries. However, super-maximum security level penitentiary officers show a lower level of mental health than medium security level penitentiaries. Conclusion: There are differences in correctional officers' contact with inmates, risk perception, and mental health of correctional officers in prisons with different levels of security.

Abstract

Children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) frequently exhibit symptoms of irritability and aggression, which may appear as tantrums, self-injury, and violent behaviors. As a result, parents often bring their children to the emergency room or seek psychiatric treatment. Aggression refers to conduct that poses a threat or inflicts injury by bodily or verbal actions, such as striking, biting, hurling things, or using offensive language against another individual. Aggressive behaviors can detrimentally impact the patient's quality of life, increase their stress levels, and hinder their ability to get educational and social assistance. A multidisciplinary approach is crucial for assessing patients and selecting the most effective treatment. Both non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic treatments are available to address violent behavior in children with ASD. As a health practitioner, it is crucial to understand the circumstances that might trigger aggressiveness in children with ASD and possess the knowledge and skills to effectively manage and treat these patients. By doing so, we can optimize their outcomes and enhance their overall quality of life.

Abstract

Depression commonly affects individuals with heart failure and is associated with higher mortality rates, increased disability, healthcare costs, and reduced quality of life. Heart failure patients are more likely to experience depression. This study was aimed to describe pathophysiology and treatment of depression in heart failure patients. Both physiological and behavioral variables may influence the relationship between depression and the development and progression of heart failure, as well as increased rates of mortality. Because of the similarities between the symptoms of cardiac and mental illnesses, it may be difficult to make an appropriate diagnosis of depressive disorders in individuals who are suffering from heart failure. Further research is urgently needed to improve the diagnosis of these disorders and develop therapies that benefit patients with heart failure.

Abstract

Background: Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a personality disorder that has low self-esteem, unstable emotions, high rejection, and is reactive to everyday interpersonal stress. The involvement of inflammatory factors in BPD has been widely reported by researchers. NLR is a specific inflammatory mediator in the adaptive immune response that can be examined through inexpensive and fast hematology tests. NLR is expected to be used as a marker of self-esteem in individuals with BPD. The study aimed to determine the relationship between NLR and self-esteem in patients with BPD. Methods: This is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. The total sample is 37 respondents who have been diagnosed with BPD from several hospitals in Semarang. Collection data use questionnaire RSES and blood sampling for NLR examination. Results: From 37 respondents, 27 (73.0%) subjects had low self-esteem, and 10 (27.0) subjects had high self-esteem. We found that the sensitivity of NLR was 50.00%, specificity 48.15%, positive predictive value 26.32%, negative predictive value 27.03%, and accuracy 48.65%. Area under curve (AUC) 0,537 and correlation cut off point NLR to self-esteem is no significant relationship because the p-value is 0,605 with RP 0.93(0,22-3,96) (95% CI). Conclusion: NLR cannot be used as a marker of high or low self-esteem in individuals with BPD.
