Abstract

Introduction: The transition to motherhood can be challenging due to physical, psychological, and social changes, making women vulnerable to PPD. Routine screening for PPD is essential to facilitate timely intervention and support for affected mothers. This case report aimed to explore the impact of postpartum depression in first-time mothers and the effectiveness of interventions and social support in managing the condition. Methods: This is a qualitative study with a case report method. The study utilized the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) as a screening tool for PPD and involved interventions related to breastfeeding issues and social support. Results: After two weeks, the EPDS test result shows improvement, and the mother also reported increased breastfeeding, with the baby achieving ideal weight and height according to the WHO growth chart. Intervention included open communication, social support, intervention for breastfeeding difficulties, and spousal involvement in childcare. Discuss: Postpartum depression is a strong risk factor for more severe psychological disorders, such as postpartum psychosis, requiring early diagnosis to provide adequate support and prevent further complications. Conclusion: The study highlights the importance of early PPD detection through tools like the EPDS and the crucial role of social support, particularly from the husband, in mitigating PPD risk. It concludes by emphasizing the need for ongoing research to develop effective interventions for managing postpartum depression in primiparous mothers.  Keywords: postpartum depression, primiparous, social support.

Abstract

Introduction: Post Power Syndrome is a psychological condition often experienced by individuals who lose an important social position or status, particularly in retirees who previously held leadership roles. The drastic change from being active and respected to being retired can lead to feelings of loss of identity and meaning in life, often resulting in psychological symptoms such as depression and anxiety. This study aims to understand the dynamics of Post Power Syndrome in a retired female teacher and the factors influencing her ability to adapt to post-retirement life. Methods: This research uses a qualitative case study approach. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The Pattern Matching technique was used to analyze the data and identify main patterns and themes related to the experience of Post Power Syndrome. Results: The study subject exhibited emotional symptoms such as sadness, anxiety, and feelings of isolation, as well as behavioral changes including difficulty sleeping and altered eating patterns. Although the subject managed to fill her free time with new activities like gardening, symptoms of Post Power Syndrome remained evident in her stories and behavior. Discuss: Emotional distress leads to maladaptive coping mechanisms, such as substitutive reactions and overthinking memories. This study highlights the importance of direct observation and interviews to accurately analyse behavioural symptoms. Direct field observations and interviews are essential in understanding the behavioural changes exhibited by retired teachers experiencing post-power syndrome. Conclusion: Post-Power Syndrome can affect individuals' emotional well-being and behavior after retirement. Social support and psychosocial intervention strategies are crucial for helping retirees manage life changes. This research also provides insights for educators and psychologists in offering more effective support to retired teachers.   Keywords: post-power syndrome, retirement, teacher.

Abstract

Introduction: This article discusses the risk factors for speech delay, a communication development disorder, specifically the development of speech and language in children. Communication disorders can disrupt motor and cognitive development. Risk factor detection is necessary to prevent speech delay and ensure that the treatment is suitable. Methods: This study employed a qualitative descriptive research design using a case study approach. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. The case study involved one subject, a 47-month-old male child. Qualitative data analysis techniques were conducted using the Miles and Huberman model. Results: Signs and symptoms of speech delay in N were already shown at the age of 24 months, and the definitive diagnosis was made at the age of 32 months. More than one non-medical risk factor was found, including a fragmented family, an inadequate caregiver, and excessive phone usage. The therapy provided was a combination of speech therapy with visual aids, actively reading stories from books, and fulfilling social interaction needs. Discuss: Child development milestones should always be monitored to identify signs and symptoms of speech delay. Kuesioner Pra-Skrining Perkembangan [KPSP] screening can be used for early detection of child development disorders. The therapy implemented should be followed up to ensure progress in speech and language development. Conclusion: N's speech delay is caused by a fragmented family, inadequate caregiver, and excessive phone usage. We provide support to parents/caregivers. We also recommend following up on the monitoring of N’s speech and language development progress.  Keywords: speech delay, communication, phone usage.

Abstract

Introduction: Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) involves physical and emotional symptoms that occur before menstruation, affecting most women of reproductive age. This study aims to review the role of nutrition and dietary interventions in alleviating PMS symptoms, with a focus on calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, and vitamin B6. Methods: Peer-reviewed articles from the past five years focused on nutrition and PMS. Data sources included PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect. Keywords included "PMS," "nutrition/diet," "micronutrients/vitamins/minerals," and "dietary intervention/nutritional therapy." Articles were selected based on relevance and quality. Results: high intake of calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, and vitamin B6 reduces PMS symptoms. Calcium stabilizes mood and reduces anxiety. Magnesium alleviates pain and bloating. Vitamin D reduces inflammation and regulates immune function, while vitamin B6 supports neurotransmitter synthesis, helping reduce depression and fatigue. Discuss: High-fiber, low-sugar diets and omega-3 fatty acids from fatty fish also mitigate PMS symptoms. Nutritional interventions effectively manage PMS symptoms. A balanced, nutrient-rich diet should be integral to PMS management. Conclusion: Nutrition and diet play an important role in alleviating the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). High intakes of calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, and vitamin B6 have consistently been proven to reduce various physical and psychological complaints experienced by women during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle.  Keywords: premenstrual, diet, nutrition.

Abstract

Introduction: Bipolar disorder is a chronic psychiatric disorder characterized by alternating episodes of mania/hypomania and depression. These episodes significantly compromise patients’ quality of life. Understanding patients’ sociodemographic characteristics, clinical profile, and drug utilization patterns is critical for ensuring therapy effectiveness and preventing relapse. This study aims to analyze characteristics of patients with bipolar disorder, relationships between sociodemographic factors and types of mood episodes, as well as drug utilization patterns among inpatients at Dr. Sardjito General Hospital, Yogyakarta. Methods: Data from 72 inpatients diagnosed with bipolar disorder according to ICD-10 (codes F31.0–F31.7) and admitted between January 2021 and December 2023 were included in this analytical cross-sectional study. Data were extracted from patients’ electronic medical records and analyzed using the Fisher-Freeman-Halton test. Results: A total of 52.8% patients were diagnosed with severe depressive episode with psychotic symptoms (F31.5), thereby making it the top diagnosis. Results also demonstrate a correlation between types of mood episodes and all sociodemographic characteristics of respondents, including age (p=0.011), sex (p=0.029), marital status (p=0.025), educational background (p=0.030), and occupation (p=0.017). Quetiapine was the most used antipsychotic drug (56.8%), whereas Fluoxetine was the most common antidepressant (64.9%). Diazepam (42.2%) and Divalproex (74.3%) were the most frequently prescribed sedative and mood stabilizer, respectively. Discuss: Frequent use of antidepressants, particularly fluoxetine, in patients with bipolar disorder. Because antidepressants cannot be used as monotherapy in bipolar disorder due to the risk of switching into mania or rapid cycling, their presence in the medication profile should be interpreted as adjunctive therapy within combination regimens rather than stand-alone treatment. Conclusion: Sociodemographic characteristics of patients are associated with types of mood episodes associated with bipolar disorder. These findings highlight the need for personalized therapies that take patient characteristics into account to improve the effectiveness of bipolar treatment. Keywords: bipolar, characteristic, treatment.

Abstract

Introduction: Condyloma acuminata (CA) is a sexually transmitted disease caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) and typically presents as exophytic, verrucous lesions on moist mucocutaneous surfaces, including the anogenital region. The infection is highly transmissible and may occur as solitary or multiple lesions of varying sizes. In pediatric and adolescent populations, the identification of sexually transmitted infections may represent an early clinical indicator of sexual abuse. The aim of this report to highlight the role of a multidisciplinary approach in comprehensive patient management. Methods: A 15-year-old female presented with genital warty lesions. Dermatovenereological examination revealed multiple skin-colored verrucous papules involving the labia majora and minora, without tenderness or bleeding. Detailed anamnesis obtained from the patient and her caregiver disclosed a history of sexual abuse. The clinical diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination of biopsied lesions. Results: The patient was diagnosed with condyloma acuminata associated with HPV infection in the context of sexual abuse. Management involved collaboration among dermatovenereologists, pediatricians, psychiatrists, and pediatric surgeons to address both medical conditions and psychological trauma. Discuss: Management of this patient required a multidisciplinary approach involving pediatrics for underlying aplastic anemia, dermatovenereology for genital warts, psychiatry for psychological trauma, and pediatric surgery for definitive lesion management. Such coordinated care was essential to address both the medical and psychosocial complexities associated with condyloma acuminata following adolescent sexual abuse. Conclusion: The presence of condyloma acuminata in children or adolescents should prompt careful evaluation for possible sexual abuse. Early diagnosis and coordinated multidisciplinary management are crucial to achieving optimal medical treatment and psychological recovery.  Keywords: pseudobulbar affect, stroke, antidepressant.

Abstract

Introduction: Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex (D-MER) is a breastfeeding-related phenomenon characterized by brief episodes of negative emotional responses occurring immediately before or during milk ejection. Although it arises from normal neuroendocrine changes in the postpartum period, D-MER may significantly affect maternal mental health and breastfeeding continuation if unrecognized or inadequately managed. Methods: This article is a narrative literature review of published studies on D-MER, postpartum mental health, and breastfeeding. Relevant articles were identified from electronic databases and analyzed to describe clinical characteristics, underlying mechanisms, and implications for mental well-being. Results: The reviewed literature indicates that D-MER is marked by transient dysphoric symptoms, including sadness, anxiety, irritability, and, in some cases, suicidal ideation, which typically resolve within 10-15 minutes after milk ejection. Evidence suggests that D-MER is associated s d with complex biopsychosocial mechanisms, particularly involving dopamine fluctuations and oxytocin-related neuroendocrine pathways that influence mood regulation and stress reactivity. Discuss: These symptoms may negatively impact the breastfeeding experience and contribute to early weaning. D-MER should be distinguished from postpartum depression, as its symptoms are reflexive, short-lived, and temporally linked to breastfeeding outcomes. D-MER represents a distinct postpartum mental health concern requiring increased awareness among healthcare providers. Conclusion: Early identification and appropriate support may prevent more severe psychological complications. Further research is needed to clarify its mechanisms and establish evidence-based management strategies.  Keywords: postpartum, mental health, dysphoric milk ejection reflex [D-MER].

Abstract

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the mental health of medical personnel, particularly residents who face high clinical workloads, exposure risks, and academic pressures. The aim of this research to analyze direct and indirect determinants of stress, anxiety, and depression among medical residents using path analysis. Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 437 residents at Dr. Moewardi Hospital was conducted in October–November 2020. Stress, anxiety, and depression were assessed using the DASS-21, while coping mechanisms were measured using the Brief COPE. Data analysis was conducted using path analysis. Results: Stress (β = 0.5; p < 0.001) and anxiety (β = 0.18; p < 0.001) directly increased depression, while adaptive coping showed a negative association (β = –1.2; p < 0.001). Age, sex, comorbidities, and COVID-19 exposure had indirect effects mediated by stress and anxiety. Discuss: The findings of this study underscore the importance of interventions that reinforce adaptive coping, including stress management training, mindfulness, peer support, and religious approaches. Conclusion: Stress and anxiety significantly predicted depression, while adaptive coping had a protective effect.  Keywords: stress, anxiety, depression, coping, medical residents, COVID-19.

Abstract

Introduction: Pseudobulbar affect (PBA) is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary episodes of laughing or crying that are incongruent with emotional state. This condition is frequently underrecognized after stroke and may significantly impair quality of life, particularly in settings where first-line pharmacological therapy is unavailable. Methods: We report a case of a 53-year-old woman with a history of ischemic stroke who developed recurrent episodes of uncontrollable laughter and crying for five years. Clinical assessment included CNS-LS, PLACS, and MADRS scores, with follow-up conducted after pharmacological management. Results: During follow-up, a gradual reduction in the frequency and intensity of emotional outbursts was observed after treatment with sertraline. Improvement in depressive symptoms occurred alongside the reduction of pseudobulbar affect episodes. This therapeutic response represents an individual clinical observation rather than evidence of treatment efficacy. Discuss: This case highlights the clinical relevance of recognizing pseudobulbar affect in post-stroke patients and suggests that SSRIs may be considered as an alternative option in resource-limited settings. Conclusion: Careful clinical evaluation of emotional dysregulation after stroke is essential. Observational improvement in this case underscores the importance of accurate diagnosis and highlights the need for further studies to establish effective management strategies for pseudobulbar affect. Keywords: pseudobulbar affect, stroke, antidepressant.
