Abstract

Dissociative symptoms such as depersonalization, derealization, and amnesia frequently occur in patients with severe depression and significantly heighten suicide risk, particularly when childhood trauma is present. This case report presents a 20-year-old woman with major depressive disorder and dissociative symptoms including unintentional self-harm, hallucinations, and nightmares related to past abuse. Clinical data were collected via structured clinical interviews, direct observation, and patient self-report, with diagnostic confirmation using DSM-5 criteria. The case illustrates how dissociation, trauma, and disrupted emotional regulation interact to intensify hopelessness and impulsivity. Comprehensive treatment, including trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), pharmacotherapy, and emotional expression techniques such as journaling, led to gradual symptom relief. This case highlights the importance of early identification of dissociative symptoms in depressed individuals with trauma history to reduce suicide risk.

Abstract

Hallucinations, while traditionally associated with schizophrenia spectrum disorders, are increasingly recognized in individuals with bipolar disorder, particularly in rapid cycling forms. Such manifestations complicate diagnosis and, if overlooked, may lead to poorer prognoses. This case report describes the clinical course and management of a 30-year-old female with bipolar I disorder, rapid cycling subtype (≥6 episodes/year), presenting with impulsivity, emotional instability, and mild auditory hallucinations. Her history included childhood emotional and physical abuse. Assessments involved DSM-5 structured interviews, the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D), and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS). Findings indicated pronounced affective lability, trauma-related personality traits overlapping with borderline personality disorder, and partial resistance to prior pharmacological treatment. During inpatient care, she was treated with valproate and low-dose quetiapine, complemented by psychoeducation and trauma-focused psychotherapy, producing notable improvement despite residual mood instability. This case underscores the interaction between trauma, affective dysregulation, and psychotic-like features in rapid cycling bipolar disorder (RCBD). Hallucinations here may reflect affective intensification rather than primary psychosis, stressing the need for careful differential diagnosis and trauma screening. The implications advocate routine trauma-informed assessments in bipolar disorder and highlight the efficacy of multimodal strategies combining pharmacological stabilization with targeted psychotherapy. Integrating trauma-focused care with mood management can enhance long-term outcomes in RCBD, particularly where conventional treatment shows partial resistance.
Fantasy, Dissociation, or Hallucination? Clinical Challenges in the Assessment of Childhood Psychopathology: A Case Report Fatwa, Ahmad Misbahul Ulum; Merilla, Isna; Yusmadewi, Aaliyah; Imron, Muhammad Istio Hadi Al; Billah, Illa; Suwarti, Ariyani Sri; Algristian, Hafid

Abstract

Childhood trauma is increasingly recognized as a major contributor to psychopathological outcomes such as hallucinations, dissociative symptoms, and maladaptive fantasy use. This case report explores a 20-year-old female patient with a history of recurrent trauma since early childhood, who developed auditory hallucinations commanding self-harm, dissociative episodes, and persistent escapist fantasy as coping mechanisms. Using a case study approach supported by literature review, we examined the clinical trajectory, psychological symptoms, and coping strategies used by the patient. Findings suggest that early and prolonged trauma may distort reality monitoring and identity integration, with dissociation and fantasy serving as maladaptive emotional regulation tools. This case adds to the understanding of how childhood trauma can produce overlapping features of dissociative and psychotic-like symptoms. The report emphasizes the importance of early screening for dissociation and fantasy-based coping in trauma-exposed adolescents, particularly when hallucinations are present. Early interventions, including trauma-informed psychotherapy and family support, may prevent progression to chronic psychiatric disorders.

Abstract

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a complex psychiatric condition often accompanied by dissociative symptoms and hallucinations. These symptoms are not merely comorbid features but appear to be integral aspects of the disorder's pathology. This case report presents a 20-year-old female patient with a history of childhood trauma and persistent emotional distress, who exhibited dissociation and auditory hallucinations as primary clinical features. Approximately 75–80% of individuals with BPD experience dissociation, while 30–50% report hallucinations, particularly under emotional stress. In this case, dissociative states such as depersonalization and amnesia preceded hallucinatory experiences, suggesting a causal link. The patient demonstrated episodes of memory loss, out-of-conscious behavior, and auditory command hallucinations, which significantly impaired her functioning. These symptoms were exacerbated by academic pressure and unresolved trauma. The interplay between dissociation and hallucination highlights the importance of trauma-informed, emotion-regulation-focused interventions. Clinicians should assess these symptoms systematically, as their presence may indicate a more severe clinical profile and the need for integrative therapeutic strategies.

Abstract

Mental health remains a critical global concern, particularly in settings where structural and social disparities limit access to appropriate care. This narrative review aims to examine the effectiveness of social support interventions—both interpersonal and community-based—in promoting mental well-being and reducing psychological distress. Using an integrative approach, literature was collected from academic databases such as Scopus and Google Scholar, utilizing key terms including "social support," "mental health interventions," and "community engagement." Studies meeting inclusion criteria featured diverse methodologies and participant populations across multiple geographic contexts. The results demonstrate that interpersonal support, particularly from partners and family members, significantly improves psychological outcomes by reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety, enhancing emotional regulation, and fostering cognitive resilience. Community-level interventions, especially those grounded in participatory models, were shown to increase mental health literacy, combat stigma, and facilitate access to care. However, systemic barriers such as poverty, discrimination, and healthcare inequity continue to undermine these efforts, particularly in low-resource settings. The discussion suggests that addressing mental health requires a multi-level response integrating interpersonal, communal, and policy-based strategies. The review advocates for culturally adapted, inclusive, and sustainable mental health programs, supported by strong policy frameworks and local engagement. By emphasizing social connectedness and institutional support, these interventions offer a promising pathway toward resilient mental health systems worldwide.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic placed unprecedented pressures on global healthcare systems, particularly frontline workers. This study examines how psychological safety influences team performance through the mediating roles of communication satisfaction and mental health among Indonesian healthcare professionals. A mixed methods approach involving surveys with 177 workers and interviews with 27 participants revealed that psychological safety significantly predicted team performance, partly through communication and well-being. Respondents frequently reported moderate quality of life, with qualitative findings highlighting fear of infection, communication challenges, emotional strain, and supportive peer dynamics. These results underscore the need to embed psychological safety frameworks into crisis protocols, ensuring effective communication, mental health support, and responsive leadership. The study proposes a multi-level model contextualized within Indonesian healthcare that offers practical strategies for improving team performance in resource-limited environments.

Abstract

This study investigates how empathy and collectivism influence volunteerism in Indonesia’s disaster response contexts. Framed within a culturally embedded model of altruism, the research employed a mixed methods design combining surveys from 300 volunteers and interviews with 15 participants across three disaster categories. Empathy and collectivism emerged as significant predictors of altruistic intentions (R² = 0.225), while belief in a just world showed no effect. ANOVA results indicated consistent altruism across disaster types, pointing to strong cultural stability. Qualitative data reinforced these findings, highlighting the role of gotong royong, spirituality, and communal identity in sustaining volunteer engagement. This study contributes to the literature by challenging Western-centric models of prosocial behavior and demonstrating the importance of culturally grounded strategies such as involving community leaders and integrating traditional values in volunteer management. It advocates for cross-cultural disaster response frameworks that prioritize local knowledge and social cohesion.

Abstract

Students face various academic demands that can significantly affect their psychological well-being. Self-esteem plays a crucial and influential role in determining how students respond and adapt to these pressures, while perfectionism often emerges as a behavioral response to low self-esteem. This research aims to comprehensively examine the relationship between self-esteem and perfectionism among students through a systematic literature review, involving 50 articles which were then filtered down to 15 articles deemed most relevant to the topic under investigation, and subsequently included as 6 journal articles focused on the relationship between self-esteem and perfectionism, specifically targeting the student population as the main subjects, with sources obtained from Google Scholar and ResearchGate. The findings of the review indicate that maladaptive perfectionism has a significant negative correlation with self-esteem, meaning that the higher the maladaptive perfectionism, the lower the self-esteem of students, while adaptive perfectionism shows varying results, namely that adaptive perfectionism has a positive relationship with self-esteem, which means that the higher the adaptive perfectionism, the higher the self-esteem of the individual; however, other studies have found that adaptive perfectionism can also lower self-esteem. Several studies also reveal that self-esteem can act as a mediator in the relationship between perfectionism and depression. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening students' self-esteem to prevent the negative impact of perfectionism on mental health.

Abstract

Divorce is a major psychosocial stressor, particularly for women, and is strongly associated with depression, anxiety, and insomnia. Alexithymia—a personality construct characterized by difficulties in identifying and expressing emotions—may complicate emotional adjustment following divorce. This case report presents a 35-year-old Javanese woman who developed depression, anxiety, and insomnia after divorce, accompanied by alexithymia traits. Data were obtained through psychiatric evaluation, semi-structured interviews, and corroborative information from her psychosocial environment. The patient showed persistent mood swings, sleep disturbance, limited emotional expression, and an externally oriented cognitive style. Her difficulties in emotional processing, combined with sociocultural pressures as a divorced woman, contributed to her psychological burden. This report highlights the need for early screening of alexithymia in divorced women and emphasizes targeted interventions such as emotional awareness training, expressive therapies, and culturally sensitive psychosocial support. Recognition of alexithymia may prevent chronic depression and improve resilience in post-divorce care.

Abstract

Violence in social and occupational settings remains a pressing global concern, affecting individual well-being and societal cohesion. This narrative review aims to explore the causes, contexts, and interventions surrounding violence, drawing from multidisciplinary literature. The review utilized a structured search strategy across major scientific databases, including Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science, incorporating studies that focused on workplace violence, intimate partner violence, aggression, and mental health. Key inclusion criteria encompassed peer-reviewed articles published in English and involving populations directly exposed to violence. Findings reveal that the main drivers of violence include high-stress work environments, inadequate support systems, cultural gender norms, and adverse childhood experiences. These factors contribute to elevated rates of mental health disorders such as PTSD, depression, and anxiety, particularly among women, children, and individuals with disabilities. Interventions such as educational programs (e.g., Irie Classroom Toolbox), peer-support initiatives, and trauma-informed training for professionals have shown promise in reducing the impact of violence. Systemic and structural influences, including social inequality, weak legal protections, and cultural stigma, were found to exacerbate vulnerability and impede access to help. The review highlights the importance of context-specific, community-based strategies in resource-limited settings and policy reform in institutional contexts. Future research should focus on inclusive longitudinal studies and leverage digital tools for violence monitoring and prevention. Addressing violence requires a coordinated, multi-layered approach that combines education, mental health access, and systemic reform.
