Abstract

Bipolar disorder is a major contributor to global disability, affecting not only mood regulation but also cognitive function, and its impact is often exacerbated by metabolic comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. These comorbid conditions can lead to poorer clinical outcomes and increase the risk of neuropsychiatric complications such as delirium and cognitive impairment, which are frequently overlooked in clinical practice. This article aims to describe and analyze the case of a 31-year-old male with a history of bipolar disorder who presented with a hyperglycemic crisis and pneumonia, followed by the onset of acute delirium and subsequent cognitive decline. Through a descriptive clinical approach, the patient’s medical and psychiatric history, laboratory findings, and treatment course are reviewed to explore the complex interaction between mood disorders and metabolic dysfunction. The analysis reveals a strong link between metabolic dysregulation and worsening neuropsychiatric outcomes. This case underscores the importance of early detection and an integrated, multidisciplinary management approach to prevent long-term cognitive deterioration in patients with psychiatric disorders accompanied by metabolic conditions, offering important implications for future clinical practice.

Abstract

Bipolar disorder often coexists with gynecological conditions such as endometriosis, presenting clinical challenges due to overlapping hormonal and neuropsychiatric influences. The impact of hormonal therapy on mood stability in women with affective disorders remains underexplored. We report the case of a 30-year-old woman with bipolar II disorder, stable for nearly two years on lamotrigine, who developed mood destabilization after initiating hormonal treatment for stage III endometriosis. Sequential regimens—dienogest, norethisterone, and ethinylestradiol–levonorgestrel—were temporally associated with new or worsening mixed affective symptoms, including agitation, insomnia, irritability, and emotional lability, despite adherence to mood stabilizers. Her Hamilton Depression Rating Scale score increased from 9 to 21 within three months, with laboratory evaluation showing elevated estradiol and suppressed luteinizing hormone, supporting a hormone-related mechanism. A structured literature review (PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, 2000–2024) identified limited but consistent evidence that synthetic progestins may exacerbate psychiatric symptoms in mood-vulnerable populations through neuroendocrine and neurotransmitter modulation. This case underscores the importance of recognizing hormonally induced mood dysregulation in women with pre-existing psychiatric disorders and highlights the need for proactive management strategies. We recommend pre-treatment psychiatric screening, structured and longitudinal mood monitoring throughout hormonal therapy, and close interdisciplinary collaboration between gynecology and psychiatry to optimize outcomes. Integrated care approaches may reduce the risk of mood destabilization, enhance safety, and improve quality of life for women facing the dual burden of bipolar disorder and endometriosis.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of goal setting training in improving future orientation among the youth community known as “The Lost Boys” in Randutatah Village, Paiton District, Probolinggo Regency. The method used is psychological intervention with a participatory training approach through five sessions, namely opening, future inspiration, self-potential exploration, goal setting, and closing. The results of the study showed positive changes in the participants after attending the training, where they began to be able to recognize their potential, set short-term and long-term goals, and show increased motivation and productive behavior such as reducing risky behavior, stopping alcohol consumption, and being active in social activities. This training also helped participants understand the importance of having a clear direction in life and responsibility for the future. Overall, goal setting training has proven to be effective as a psychological intervention strategy for shaping a positive future orientation, increasing self-awareness, and fostering a commitment to change in at-risk adolescents. Implementation can be enhanced through continuous mentoring, collaboration with community leaders, and integration into youth empowerment programs to sustain behavioral change. Future efforts should expand participation, involve family and peers, and use digital media for ongoing motivation and goal tracking. This study provides a novel community-based application of goal-setting training among at-risk rural youth in Indonesia, a population rarely addressed in previous intervention research.
