▼ Schizophrenia (SZ) is a persistent mental
disorder/illness. The development of psychiatry as a separate area
of medicine started in late eighteenth century. The approach was to
keep people living with schizophrenia in institutions. The interest
was to protect community from people living with schizophrenia. The
treatment for mental illness has a long history. It traversed from
the period of witchcraft, isolation and physical restraining to a
humanistic approach. Mental health services in India started as
part of philanthropic concerns. Over a period of time it turned
into a professional service. The history of Indian psychiatry gives
a picture of ongoing struggle to provide accessible and affordable
mental health services to people living with mental illness. It was
after independence mental health care and people living with mental
illness got a significant place in health policy. Treatment plans
for schizophrenia includes pharmacotherapy and psychosocial
rehabilitation. Treatment plan is designed as per the requirements
of the person living with schizophrenia. It is chosen on the basis
of severity of symptoms and extent of impairments in various areas
of functioning. The present study explores the various facets of
participation of people living with schizophrenia in their
community. It delves into the perception of people living with
schizophrenia regarding the various aspects that contribute to
their quality of life. The aim of psychosocial rehabilitation is to
restore these functional abilities and skills. The burden of
schizophrenia on individual, family, and society is higher compared
to any other physical and mental illness.

▼ Commonly it is accepted that one of the advantages of the concept of
mental disorder is its
necessity when it comes to practical treatment issues. It is for this and other practical reasons
that the concept of
mental disorder is so ubiquitous. However since the adoption of
mental
disorder by psychiatry there have been sceptics. In recent years there has been a push to
abandon the concept of
mental disorder citing problems with validity and reliability of any
concept that proposes a clear boundary between the normal and the abnormal. There are
many potential arguments that a proponent of
mental disorder could raise in objection to such
a position. One of these arguments is that the concept of
mental disorder is necessary for
practitioners to provide the most effective treatment, thereby emphasising the necessity of the
concept. One response available to these arguments is to argue that treatment issues are not
necessarily a matter resolved by diagnosis. The aim in this dissertation is to set out an
argument to that effect.

▼ Background
Family caregivers play a very important role in the management of severe mental disorders in children which has a huge economic burden on the family and the caregivers.
This study aimed to estimate the economic burden of caring for children with mental disorders attending Psychiatric hospitals in Ghana.
Method
The study adopted the Cost of Illness Analysis Approach in estimating economic burden. The 12-item Zarit Burden Interview and EUROHIS-QOL (WHO-8) were used to assess the intangible cost and the quality of life of the caregivers respectively. Data was collected from 210 caregivers of children with mental disorders attending psychiatric hospitals in Ghana for the last six months. The economic burden was categorized into direct costs (both direct medical costs and direct non-medical costs), indirect cost (comprises of time of travel, productivity loss due, waiting time) and intangible costs (non-monetary costs such as pains, anxiety, stress, stigma etc.), and direct cost (cost of consultation, diagnosis, drugs, etc.). The indirect costs were estimated using the productive time lost by employed workers multiplied by the daily minimum wage of the country.
Results
The overall unit cost for caregiving for a child with mental disorders was GHS 826.62 (USD 169.06) per month. The average indirect cost for caregiving per child was estimated at GHS 129.17 (USD 25.83) per month, representing 15% of the total cost. Averagely, the direct non-medical cost for caring for a child per month was estimated at GHS 313.15 (USD 62.63) representing 37% of the total cost of the cost incurred by caregivers. Direct medical cost per child was estimated at GHS 402.97 (USD 80.59) per month representing 48% of the total cost of caregiving. The results of the Zarit Burden test revealed that 35.7% of the caregivers reported low burden while 64.3% reported high burden. A high burden was found among female caregivers than in male caregivers.
The EUROHIS QOL tool revealed a low quality of life across all the domains of a mean score of 24.7. Sex, marital status, and education were found to significantly influence the quality of life of caregivers with male having a lower quality of life ( mean score of 24.1 ) as compared to female who recorded a mean score of 24.9 .
Conclusion
The cost incurred by caregivers of children with mental disorders in Ghana is enormous and cannot be overlooked. The gravity of the burden affects the quality of life of the caregivers. This has led to more of the caregivers reporting lower quality of life. The results of this study could be generalized for the entire population of Ghana since the three main Psychiatric Hospitals in Ghana.

▼ markdownabstractThis study focuses on analysing the meaning and relevance mental disorders have for Dutch criminal law.
The first objective is to examine the substance of the concept of ‘disorder’, in criminal law on the one hand and in the behavioural sciences on the other, and how those concepts relate to one another. The follow-up questions regard the relevance of the disorder for the concept of law penalties.
Another question posed is how the definition of disorder contained in Section 39 of the Dutch Criminal Code (‘DCC’) relates to the mental conditions that play a role in particular cases, such as those involving mental force majeure or the use of excessive force in self-defence.

▼ INTRODUCTION:
Mental health disorders are a major public health concern, whether it is in developed countries or developing countries. The importance of the
mental health disorders is more pronounced when they concern adolescents. Suicide, one of the consequences of
mental health disorders, which is among the leading cause of death of adolescents in the world, is the second leading cause of death in the United States (US). In the Western world, many data have been published concerning the phenomenon and actions are being taken to prevent those disorders. Unfortunately, in the developing world, especially in Togo, which is the focus of the current study, data on adolescent
mental health disorders are scarce. Knowing the frequency and the nature of
mental health disorders within a community is the first step to guiding research, policy, and program implementation.
AIM: Provide data on the distribution of
mental health disorders among adolescents of Togo
METHODS: We used a dataset established through the collection of information in the medical records of patients who have consulted in the Department of Psychiatry and Medical Psychology at the teaching hospital of Lome-Campus in Togo. The review covered medical records from January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2013 and included information on 2,190 individuals. Among those individuals, we selected 242 patients who met the inclusion criteria of this study. To be included, a patient must have consulted during the period covered by the study at the department, and the person had to be between 10 to 19-years-old and have a clear diagnosis of a
mental health
disorder. The variables examined in this study were socio-demographic characteristics and
mental health diagnoses according to the definition of ICD-10. We reported the descriptive statistics in form of means with 95% confidence interval, frequencies with Pearson Chi-square or Fisher exact test when needed, with a p-value of 0.05 for significance level. SAS was the statistical software used to compute the statistics.
RESULTS: The mean age of adolescents who developed a
mental health
disorder was 17.19-years-old with 95% CI of [16.99,17.39]. Females were more concerned by
mental health disorders than males (61.16% vs 38.84% of the sample). Most of the adolescents had a low socio-economic status. The
mental health disorders were distributed as follow: 35.95% were “Acute and Transient Psychotic Disorders (F23), while 21.90% were “Somatoform Disorders- Other Neurotic Disorders (F45-F48)”, 8.26% were “Depressive Episode- Recurrent Depressive Disorders (F32-F33)”, 6.61% were “Reaction to Severe Stress, and Adjustment Disorders (F43)”, 6.20% were “Dissociative [conversion] Disorders (F44)”, and 04.55% were “
Mental and Behavioral Disorders due to Use of Cannabinoids (F12)”.
DISCUSSION: Most of our results were consistent with studies published in the literature.
CONCLUSION: More studies need to be done on a population basis to confirm the trend of
mental…

▼ A central goal of psychiatric classification is to assist in the assessment and treatment of those who experience
mental disorder. This challenge takes on greater significance in complex cases, especially given the high prevalence of psychiatric comorbidity. High rates of comorbidity also challenge the validity of current psychiatric nosology. Etiological classification has been promoted as an alternative to improve the state of psychiatric diagnosis. However, comorbidity makes specific conceptual, explanatory and methodological demands of any such classification strategy. In this thesis, a demand for coherent and integrative explanation of comorbidity acts as a standard by which to assess the strength of different causal models of
mental disorder and their resultant concepts. Integrative pluralism is presented as an epistemological framework well-suited to the complexity of this scientific challenge.

▼ The target population of the research is people with
mental diseases. It aims to study the symptoms of their illnesses and to understand the pain they encounter from the perspective of these patients. Based on that, this research combines with strong visual design and creative layout, presents art posters with impact and influence. The purpose of the research is to give
mental patients recognition, encouragement and care to a certain extent through the art form of posters. This series consists of five posters, each poster describes the five most common
mental illnesses in the United States, which are anxiety, obsessive-compulsive
disorder, bipolar
disorder, depression, and schizophrenia. This series of posters was exhibited at Imagine RIT in 2019, and was supported and affirmed by many academic groups and social personnel who came to visit. The same series of videos were also exhibited along with the poster. The video provided explanations for the poster while attracting more audiences. In this exhibition, a local psychological counseling agency issued invitations for cooperation, hoping to present the posters out of their respective clinics to help more patients. Moreover, many visitors also expressed their appreciation after understanding the concept behind the posters, and intuitively shared their experiences and feelings when fighting against
mental illness.

▼ Individuals with mental illness face challenges that are related to stigma and lack of education reinforced by the media. Specifically, the elite athletic environment is not conducive for athletes who suffer from mental illness because there is a belief that mental illnesses do not exist in the athletic population. Even though incidence of mental illness in elite athletes has gained more prominence in the popular media, there is still a lack of research in this area. Specifically, there is limited research regarding media representations of athletes who suffer from mental illness. To address this gap in the literature, an ethnographic content analysis (ECA) was done to examine Suzy Favor Hamilton’s open discussion of bipolar disorder surrounding the release of her new memoir: Fast Girl: A Life Spent Running From Madness. ECA yielded one overarching theme with three supporting sub-themes. Results indicated that even though Favor Hamilton’s book worked to spread awareness, the media attention surrounding the book release represented omission of mental illness in the environment of athletics. Overall, sports culture provides an environment that is not often willing to accept that mental illnesses exist in athletes.

▼ More and more parents are seeking care for their
children in emergency departments (EDs) to stabilize acute
emergencies related to mental health problems, request guidance for
at-home child management, and gain access to health care resources.
This retrospective cohort study explored patient and treatment
characteristics of 325 children and youth (<18 years) who
made 365 ED visits for a behavioural disorder between January 1,
2009 and December 31, 2011. Results reflect trends observed by
other research studies including gender and age trends for
diagnosis, pre-existing involvement in the health system, and ED
visits deemed urgent in nature. This research adds a unique
perspective of the reasons children/youth visited the ED and the
type of emergency care they received for a behavioural disorder.
The most common precipitating event to the ED was a suicide-related
gesture/attempt. The majority of children/youth had mood and
suicidality assessments, which reflected precipitating events and
presenting complaints.

▼ The main objective of this thesis is to explore the
interface between approaches to mental newlinedisorder in India. It
is a study in psychiatric sociology because the thesis attempts to
newlineexamine not just the organic approach but also the
socio-cultural approach to mental newlinedisorder, underlining its
significance under the rubric of different systems including
newlinepsychiatry. newlineVarious systems of healing in India
address mental disorder from different newlineperspectives and with
varied results. It is not sought here to establish the efficacy of
one newlinesystem of health and healing over the other; rather the
focus is on exploring the newlinepossibilities of systems of health
and healing interfacing, despite being based on disparate
newlineontologies and epistemologies. How do systems addressing
mental disorder interface and newlineunder what conditions? What
allows for or inhibits interface and what role do
newlinepractitioners play, are some of the questions that this
study has attempted to answer. newlineBefore examining the
phenomenon of interface among these disparate systems, it is
newlineimportant to underline that two distinct
conceptual/paradigmatic positions can be newlineidentified in
drawing out the discourse of mental disorder in general; these have
an newlineimportant bearing on the systems of health as well. A
distinct contiguous shift can also be newlinetraced in the attitude
and treatment of those deemed to be mentally ill. This shift is not
newlinejust conceptual but also ontological and epistemological.
One looks at mental illness in newlineterms of socio-cultural
factors and the other locates its aetiology primarily in an organic
newlineor physiological base. They refer to the socio-cultural
model and the organic model newlinerespectively. newlineThese two
clear epistemologies, while distinct, are neither absolute nor
completely newlinedisconnected in the context of explaining mental
disorder. A historical tracing of these newlinetwo epistemological
positions will reveal that, at a point in time, one paradigm
assumed newlinesignificance and received much attention and
fillip;

▼ Aim
The purpose of this study was to describe
mental disorder stigmatising attitudes held by nurses, in a selected district hospital in Rwanda, and to analyse the potential mediating effects of person variables, specifically familiarity, on these stigmatising attitudes.
Methodology
The stigma process framework informed a quantitative, non-experimental, descriptive research design. A self-report questionnaire included person variables (age, gender, nursing qualification, nursing category and years of nursing experience) and two scales; Level of Contact Scale (LOC) and Community Attitudes towards
Mental Illness - Swedish version (CAMI-S). A sample of one hundred and two (n=102) was achieved. Ethical approval was obtained from educational institutions, University of KwaZulu-Natal in SA and Kigali Health institute in Rwanda, and at local health care service level in Rwanda.
Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 21. Analysis includes descriptive statistics and multivariate analysis; associations between scale scores and person variables, inter-correlations between CAMI-S subscales and total scores and correlations of CAMI-S and LOC scale scores. Non parametric tests were used, Mann–Whitney U Test, Kruskal-Willis H Test and Spearman’s rho correlation coefficient test and significance was determined by Cohen’s guide lines (Cohen, 1988) cited in Pallant (2010; 2013).
Results Although participants reported negative stereotypes in all items on the CAMI-S, related to persons with a
mental disorder in keeping with previous international (Griffiths, Nakane, Christensen, Yoshioka, Jorm, & Nakane, 2006; Veer, Kraan, Drosseart & Moddle, 2006; Putman, 2008) and local studies (Smith & Middleton, 2010), the extent of contradiction within participant responses suggests social desirability bias. Results suggest that, while participants acknowledge community integration of
mental health services in principle, their desire for social distance from persons with a
mental disorder was strongly evident in responses to proximity of living arrangements and support of segregation. Statistical results indicated no associations between negative stereotypes and participants’ gender, category of nurses or level of education. However, associations between negative stereotypes and the younger age group and the less experienced participants are reported as statistically significant. There was high levels of familiarity amongst participants, more than half of participants (57.8%, n=59) scored levels of familiarity at 9, A friend of my family has a
mental disorder, and above. A negative correlation is reported between familiarity and stigmatizing attitudes.
Conclusion and recommendation
Results suggest familiarity has a positive mediating effect on negative stereotypes. In addition older more experienced nurses are reported to have less stigmatising attitudes towards persons with a
mental disorder. Despite these results, contradictions within participants’ responses on the CAMI-S suggest that additional…

▼ Professional Doctorate - Doctor of Clinical Psychology (DCP)
Purpose: To identify variables associated with common mental disorders in an Australian university population. Background: A systematic literature review was conducted to identify research on prevalence and risk factors associated with depression, anxiety, eating and alcohol disorders in university students. The review identified 1200 studies of which 36 met our inclusion criteria. Depression and anxiety disorders were identified as the most prevalent disorders in this group. The main risk factors reported for student mental disorders were: being a woman, being homosexual or bisexual, growing up in a family with low socio-economic status, current financial difficulty and being a man for alcohol disorders. Methods: We invited all Australian based students from a large public university (N=24,209) to participate in a web-based Student Mental Health Survey. Outcome measures included the Primary Health Questionnaire depression, anxiety, and eating disorders modules, and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. Explanatory variables of interest included gender, age, year of study, degree type, financial means, parental education, domestic/international status and sexual orientation. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to estimate independent associations with the four outcomes. Results: Complete responses were received from 6044 students (25%). Proportions reporting depression, anxiety, eating disorders and harmful drinking were 8%, 13%, 14% and 8% respectively, while 30% had at least one of these disorders. The groups with the highest rates of disorder were women, 25–34 year olds, students on low income, and homosexual or bisexual students. Parental education was not associated with disorder, and nor was an international/domestic status. Conclusions: This is the first study examining mental disorders in a population-based university sample in Australia. Groups in particular need are women, students on low incomes and homosexual or bisexual students. Given increasing student numbers and participation of students from lower socio-economic backgrounds, policy is urgently needed to promote better mental health in the population, to routinely identify vulnerable students, and to intervene early. A national longitudinal study examining mental health across multiple institutions with oversampling of high risk groups is recommended based on the findings and limitations of this study. There is also need for further research and development of electronic programs which are cost-effective and preventative in nature, as a first response in a stepped care approach to mental health on campuses.

▼ Evidence is emerging from the Western world that, when seeking assistance, Autistic women are remaining unrecognised, or are being misdiagnosed with
mental illness by the clinical professionals they approach. However, as a result of their relative invisibility there is very limited academic literature on the occurrence of the mis(sed)diagnosis of Autistic women, as these women only draw statistical interest when they eventually become formally diagnosed. This thesis provides for an exploration of this usually hidden topic. As such it is an exploratory, inductive study that is guided by a transformative worldview. I use triangulation as a methodology in the corroboration of views found to be underpinned by opposing philosophical stances. I then consider the lived experience of unrecognised autism, the clinical context of
mental healthcare, and the guiding documents and reports for the provision of autism services and support for Autistic adults in the government-funded New Zealand healthcare system. This information is supported by data collected from an online questionnaire of healthcare practitioners with a specialised knowledge of autism, specifically how it presents in females. I conclude that there is a longstanding and harmful relationship between Autistic women and madness in part driven by a negative interface between psychiatric services and women in general. Issues for Autistic women are exacerbated by a lack of understanding over time of neurodevelopmental conditions within the healthcare professions that I contend could be contributing to the ongoing, and harmful phenomenon of under-recognition of Autistic women.

▼ This poem is an exploration of my relationship with my brother Derek, who at a very young age was diagnosed with schizoaffective
disorder - a combination of schizophrenia and bi-polar
disorder. Essentially he has auditory hallucinations and a delusional understanding of his environment accompanied by manic behavior. He is obsessed with religion, often seeing himself as a Christ-like figure. Good and evil exist very tangibly in his world. Popular culture and the bible merge to create a complex, layered reality that is quite different from the one most of us experience.
Brother is a poetic exploration of
mental illness, creativity and family.

▼ My MA mini-thesis in Creative Writing is a collection of 33 poems titled Learning to Exhale. The
poems are centred around a character – a black African woman who is sharing her experiences
of
mental illness. The poems revolve around memory, forgetting and remembering; going back
to the moment when the woman realises that she is ill, understanding it from the present while
working to find ways to express what bipolar
disorder is and how she experiences it. The
collection also highlights her search for words and meaning to describe these experiences that
are highly traumatic. This is to create a language of expressing the indescribable. This means that
the form and structure is experimental, combining differing styles and form to show different
voices, different states of mind that swing from depression, mania to suicidal thoughts.

▼ Mental disorders are a major cause of disability among women during the perinatal period and have consequences for her unborn child as well. There is a lack of evidence-based treatment algorithms due to the complicated risk-benefit analysis for both mother and her unborn child. This thesis extends existing knowledge on the treatment and impact of mental disorders during pregnancy. It includes a meta-analysis on all pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions to treat antepartum mental disorders. It evaluates the efficacy of a new group-based multicomponent therapy for pregnant women with a mental disorder. Subsequently, it explores the impact of a mental disorder on sleep quality by measuring objective and subjective sleep quality during pregnancy. Different phenotypes of mood fluctuations across pregnancy and associations with pregnancy outcomes are described. At last, the prevalence of suicidal ideation and deliberate self-harm is investigated in pregnant women with a severe mental disorder.

▼ Sexual activity can be a pleasurable and critical element of self-expression. However, research
has found that
mental illness is a condition that may affect the ability to sexually consent.
Despite this fact, sexual consent remains under-studied and under-theorized when considering
the various ways it can be influenced. Bipolar
Disorder is especially concerning, as it is
characterized by symptoms of thought
disorder patterns, perception alterations, mood
oscillations, and impulsivity. Consequently, individuals are particularly susceptible to bias when
judging situations. The aim of this study, then, is to explore the relationship between
mental
illness and sexual behaviour. Specifically, perceptions of sexual consent and the role of Bipolar
Disorder were examined among university students. The study is intended to determine if an
individual???s
mental health status was related to perceptions of capacity to sexually consent. In
other words, I sought to determine if individuals self-reporting a clinical diagnosis would be
more likely to proceed with a sexual interaction knowing their partner had a
mental illness,
compared to individuals who had never experienced symptoms of a
disorder who may be more
fearful. Additionally, it was examined if students??? sexual decision-making was influenced more
by some disorders over others (e.g., Bipolar
Disorder, Depression and Schizophrenia). The
findings of this study demonstrates that there is a need for greater research examining people???s
understanding of sexual consent, and capacity to consent, especially in the context of
mental
illnesses such as Bipolar
Disorder.

▼ BACKGROUND: Mental disorders are the most common health problem affecting young people, yet their rates of help-seeking are amongst the lowest. Improving help-seeking rates amongst young people is vital. The labels used to describe emerging physical health problems have been found to influence the effectiveness of help-seeking choices. In regard to mental health, accurate psychiatric labelling of mental disorders is promoted in community awareness campaigns designed to increase help-seeking rates. However, research examining the association between labelling of mental disorders and help-seeking is scarce, particularly with young people. Indeed, it has been contended that the use of psychiatric labels to describe mental disorders may be coupled with stigmatizing beliefs and thus inhibit help-seeking, in which case lay mental health or non-specific labels may be less harmful. Motivated by these factors, the aim of this thesis was to examine the range of labels young people use to describe mental disorders, the association between label use and help-seeking intentions and beliefs, and the association between label use and stigmatising beliefs.
METHOD: A national telephone survey was conducted with 2802 Australian young people aged 12-25 years and 1528 co-resident parents from June to August 2006. Respondents were randomly assigned a vignette describing a young person experiencing symptoms of depression, psychosis or social phobia. This was followed by a series of questions relating to the vignette that examined the label used to describe the problem, help-seeking intentions and beliefs, and stigmatizing beliefs. The range of labels used was examined using percent frequencies. Factors associated with label use and the association between label use and help-seeking choices and label use and stigma were examined using binary logistic regression analyses.
RESULTS: Depression was accurately labelled twice as frequently as was psychosis, whereas social phobia was rarely accurately labelled and was most commonly labelled using lay terms. Use of accurate labels increased with age and females were more likely to use them. For all vignettes, likelihood of using an accurate label was associated with exposure to mental health community awareness campaigns and accuracy of label used by a parent. Accurate labelling was associated with a preference for professionally recommended sources of help with greater consistency than any other labels commonly used. Stigma was not commonly associated with label use. Most mental health labels were associated with seeing the person as “sick” rather than “weak”, and accurate psychiatric labels had the strongest effect sizes. However, for the psychosis vignette, the “dangerous/unpredictable” component of stigma was associated with mental health labels, and the accurate psychiatric label showed the strongest association.
DISCUSSION: It can be broadly…

▼ Objectives: The purpose of this thesis was to identify risk factors for the development of mental health concerns in pre-teens and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and in particular the role of early childhood ASD symptomatology in their development. Additionally, this thesis generated prevalence estimates for mental health concerns in Canadian adolescents with ASD.
Methods: The parents of 390 individuals with ASD were invited to participate in a survey, either online or by mail. Sixty-seven parents completed and returned surveys. Kendall tau b correlation coefficients were calculated for the association between age at assessment with ADI-R and score in each domain. Prevalence estimates with 95% confidence intervals were generated, and the Kappa statistic was used to determine the strength of agreement between parent-reported diagnoses and clinical CBCL scores. Finally, bivariate analysis was used to determine if childhood ASD symptomatology was associated with mental health in adolescence, followed by logistic regression modeling to evaluate the effect of other possible risk factors.
Results: Scores on two domains of the ADI-R were significantly associated with age at assessment, therefore, it was necessary to control for age at assessment with the ADI-R on these domains in the analysis conducted in Chapter Four. Forty-five percent of the study sample met case criteria for a comorbid psychiatric disorder. Anxiety, mood and attention-deficit disorders were the most common disorders in this sample. Early childhood ASD symptoms were not associated with the development of mental health concerns in adolescence. Family history and female gender were associated with the development of mental health concerns in adolescence.
Conclusions: Nearly half of the individuals in our sample have been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder, or are experiencing clinically significant symptoms that may be indicative of such a disorder. Our findings of discrepancies between parent-reported diagnoses and CBCL scores, indicates that many individuals in our sample are experiencing clinically significant mental health concerns, but do not have an official diagnosis. Finally, as has been reported previously, family history of mental illness and female gender were found to be associated with the development of a mental health concern in adolescence.

▼ (Internet) Gaming Disorder ((I)GD) is one of the most problematic psychiatric disorders to be recently proposed. It is noted as a condition of further study in the DSM-5 as ‘Internet Gaming Disorder’ and is likely to be included in future editions of the DSM pending further research. Both Gaming Disorder and Internet Gaming Disorder have been added to the ICD-11. In this multidisciplinary conceptual analysis, I have combined a philosophical approach with current research in psychiatry, psychology and neuroscience, game studies, and economic theory in the area. Presented is a Picoeconomic and Neuroeconomic (PE/NE) model of addiction centred on Disordered and Addictive Gambling. I then begin application of the model to the evidence presented for the (I)GD. I argue that it is possible that some individuals do experience a clinical addiction when they engage in specific activities within games. However, the broader conception of all (video)gaming addictive is incorrect and potentially damaging. By pathologising game play, the psychosciences could be engaging in subjective social judgement of a leisure activity. This has direct implications for the conceptual understanding of (I)GD in psychiatry; for clinical treatment of those presenting with problematic gaming behaviour; and more broadly for game player’s self-conception – both as individuals and as a group. That a minority of gamers experience negative outcomes from excessive gaming is not in dispute. However, it is not yet clear that these problems should be attributed to a new disorder. Because of the diversity of both games and gamers, application of the PE/NE model to gaming would require specification of the structural mechanisms of games, and how gamers interact with them. I argue both that (I)GD is a good candidate for conceptual sound application of the PE/NE model of addiction, and that we should be cautious about reifying it as a legitimate, discrete disorder.

▼ Major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with a number of symptoms, including cognitive dysfunction and maladaptive ruminative thought patterns. Although consistent evidence indicates that aerobic exercise is beneficial for reducing depressive symptoms in MDD, little is known about the influence of exercise on neurocognitive deficits found in depression. This is important for establishing exercise as a neurobehavioral therapy for depression, that is, an intervention that addresses biological mechanisms believed to underlie the disorder. Here, we investigated whether the N2 and P3 components of the human event-related potential (ERP) could be used to index cognitive impairments in MDD, and whether these neurophysiological measures were correlated with ruminative thought patterns. Although there were no differences in P3 amplitude by depression status, N2 amplitudes were significantly reduced in individuals with MDD relative to healthy controls, indicating that reductions were associated with higher rumination levels. These findings demonstrate that individuals with MDD may experience impaired cognitive control while attending to varying environmental stimuli. Because of our findings related to impaired cognitive control processes, we examined the neurophysiological and behavioral correlates of cognitive control during single bouts of low- and moderate-intensity exercise in healthy young adults to determine if neurocognitive function is modifiable by aerobic exercise. Importantly, acute exercise was shown to modify these ERP components, such that increased N2 and P3 amplitudes were found during exercise at low and moderate intensities relative to rest. Although this study was performed in nondepressed participants, it suggests an upregulation of cognitive control during aerobic exercise that may be maintained through a program of chronic exercise. Finally, we examined the effects of a moderate-intensity aerobic exercise intervention performed three days/week for 8 weeks. The aerobic exercise condition exhibited enhanced cognitive control (i.e., N2 amplitude) and reduced depressive symptoms among individuals with MDD; however, these exercise-induced changes in cognitive control were not found to significantly mediate pre-to-post changes in symptom outcomes. These findings support the use of exercise as a neurobehavioral therapy for MDD and suggest the possibility of incorporating exercise as a stand alone or augmentation strategy for conventional treatments.

▼ Most of what we know about Psychopathic Personality Disorder (PPD) is based upon research with males. Considerably less research has examined female manifestations of the construct, however, some research suggests that Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) may represent a female phenotypic expression of PPD, particularly among incarcerated offenders. The current study examined distinction and convergence between PPD and BPD. Utilizing a sample of 146 female correctional inmates as well as 109 female college students, the current study employed the Computerized Adaptive Test of Personality Disorder (CAT-PD) as well as other specific indices to explore the extent to which these two personality disorders overlap from a dimensional trait perspective, which the CAT-PD provides. Steiger’s T-tests were calculated to determine whether there was a difference in the magnitude of the correlations between CAT-PD traits and these two personality disorders. Hierarchical linear regression analysis were also conducted to determine whether additional traits could augment the prediction of these two personality disorders beyond the selected traits in the DSM-5 alternative trait model, located in Section III of the DSM-5. Implications of these results in light of explaining the overlap between BPD and PPD among females are explained.

▼ With the development of MRI, brain volumes can be measured in vivo nowadays. MRI
research on structure alterations in patients with schizophrenia led to new theories about the etiology of the disease. Reductions in brain volume were shown to be present in early stages of the disease, when most of the symptomatic change and loss of function also occur. What was regarded a neuro-degenerative disease, schizophrenia could be a consequence of a developmental malfunction as well. Next to schizophrenia, more insight can be gained on the nature of bipolar
disorder. The overlap between these very heterogeneous
mental disorders remains to be elucidated. This review summarizes studies which investigated structure alterations in schizophrenia and bipolar
disorder with use of sMRI techniques, with the aim to gain information on the brain morphology of these illnesses. Furthermore, a possible relation of structure alterations with symptoms and functioning of patients is discussed.
Current research so far point to main differences between schizophrenia and bipolar
disorder. In schizophrenia, more pronounced reductions in brain volume are seen, which are likely to relate to symptoms and functioning of patients. More research, controlled for confounders like medication and subtype of disease is needed, however, to further establish the relevancy of structure alterations found. This is especially the case for research on bipolar
disorder, which is scarce compared to research on schizophrenia.

▼ Having a loved one with a substance use and/or mental health disorder has a significant negative impact for family members or carers, and it often results in the loss of ideals and lifestyle. The aim of this thesis was to investigate family members’ or carers’ personal identities when they are recovering from the impacts of their loved one’s substance use and/or mental health disorder. A number of processes have arisen from previous investigations into family recovery. One of those processes is identity; however, research into the process of identity has been neglected.
Family members or carers often undergo a process of recovery which is similar to their loved one. This recovery journey is personal, dynamic and needs to focus on the family members’ strengths not only on their deficits or problems. ‘Personal and Relational Empowerment’ is a term that could be used to describe the recovery journeys of family members or carers, as they seldom see themselves as being in recovery. A ‘Personal and Relational Empowerment’ framework focuses on the intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships of family members. This framework concentrates on the family members’ needs and living their lives in line with their values. Identity is viewed as a fundamental component of ‘Personal and Relational Empowerment’. Personal identity involves the personal meanings that individuals assign to their identity; and can be viewed as the relationship people have with themselves. There is often a discrepancy between how people perceive themselves and how they would ideally like to be. This discrepancy produces feelings of frustration and disappointment; therefore, family members may be motivated to decrease these feelings by moving towards their ideal self (decreasing selfdiscrepancy).
Investigating personal identity may enable the identification of ways to help promote not only coping but also encourage growth and development of the family member towards a ‘preferred’ or ‘ideal’ self. Therefore, the internal processes of identity were investigated with the following research question: How do family members perceive themselves and others in regards to selected personal constructs? Personal identity may also affect or be affected by the other processes associated with recovery. Therefore, the relationship between identity, specifically self-discrepancy, and processes of recovery were investigated with the following research question: What is the relationship between identity (self-discrepancy) and other processes associated with recovery, such as, grief, coping, well-being and stigma? Support groups provide an opportunity for families to share their experiences and to receive help and guidance. What family members or carers experience in the support group may be used within the family to help improve family functioning. Personal identity may also provide an insight into the way that family members perceive their family and support group. Therefore, family, support group and identity were investigated with the following research…

▼ Contexto: A influência das características do ambiente social de vizinhança nos transtornos mentais comuns (TMC) ainda é pouco estudada, principalmente em países em desenvolvimento como o Brasil, onde há poucos trabalhos sobre o tema. Objetivos: O objetivo geral foi investigar as relações entre as percepções de coesão social e segurança da vizinhança e transtorno mental comum, considerando-se as relações entre características individuais e de grupo bem como as medidas no nível agregado e no individual. Métodos: Essa pesquisa foi realizada com dados da linha de base (2008-2010) do Estudo Longitudinal da Saúde do Adulto - ELSA-Brasil, que é um estudo multicêntrico com 15.105 servidores civis, ativos e aposentados vinculados a seis instituições públicas de ensino superior e de pesquisa brasileiras. Foi utilizado o instrumento CIS-R, que permite rastrear o TMC e possibilita identificar seis categorias diagnósticas desse transtorno. Coesão social e segurança foram medidas por meio de escalas validadas de características autorreferidas de vizinhança. As covariáveis sexo, idade, estado civil, raça/cor, renda familiar per capita foram autorreferidas na entrevista de linha de base. O modelo de regressão de Poisson com variância robusta foi utilizado para estimar a razão de prevalência das associações entre os desfechos e as variáveis de exposição. Regressão logística multinível foi empregada considerando vizinhanças no nível 2 e os indivíduos no nível 1, para estimar o efeito aleatório de vizinhança e as razões de chance. Resultados: Resultados da percepção individual das características de vizinhanças indicaram associação entre pior percepção de coesão social e de segurança na vizinhança e transtornos mentais comuns, e essa associação permanece após o ajuste para as variáveis individuais, ou seja, participantes que percebiam morar em uma vizinhança com mais baixa coesão social e menos segura tiveram maior chance de apresentar TMC mesmo após ajustes para as covariáveis sociodemográficas. As variações entre as vizinhanças foram estatisticamente significativas no modelo vazio para TMC. Pequena porção da variância (2,3%) no TMC pode ser atribuída às vizinhanças. As estimativas de razão de chance obtidas no modelo mutiltinível mostraram uma variação significativa no TMC relacionada ao nível de coesão social e de segurança da vizinhança, que não pode ser totalmente explicada por fatores individuais, como sexo, idade, raça/cor, estado civil, escolaridade e renda familiar per capita. Conclusão: Esse estudo apresenta evidências da associação entre percepção de coesão social e segurança individual da vizinhança nos TMC, bem como entre as medidas agregadas da percepção de coesão social e segurança e TMC, mesmo após ajustes das variáveis individuais. Aproximadamente 2,3% da variabilidade na prevalência do TMC foram atribuídos ao contexto de vizinhança, e o restante ao nível individual, considerando o modelo “vazio”.

▼ As a population, justice-involved youth are characterized by high rates of comorbid mental disorders. However, past research has generally considered disorders singly. It is unclear whether disorders cluster together in a way that has implications for intervention and case management of justice-involved youth. To begin to explore this issue, cluster analysis was used to identify common diagnostic profiles in a sample of 195 youth who received court-ordered assessments. Six mental disorder clusters emerged, which were then examined in relation to youthsâ risk to reoffend, criminogenic needs, interventions received during probation, and recidivism. Two clusters were characterized by relatively higher reoffense rates: youth with disruptive behavior disorders alone, and youth with the profile of disruptive behavior disorders, learning disability, and ADHD. These clusters also significantly predicted odds of reoffense even after accounting for youthsâ static risk and criminogenic needs treatment. Implications for risk assessment and rehabilitation of justice-involved youth are discussed.

▼ RESUMO: Auckland tem sido pioneira na implementação de modelos de Intervenção Precoce em Psicose. No entanto, esta organização do serviço não mudou nos últimos 19 anos. Segundo os dados obtidos da utilização do serviço, no período de 1996 -2012 foram atendidos 997 doentes, que tinham um número médio de 89 contactos (IQR: 36-184), com uma duração média de 62 horas de contactos (IQR: 24-136). Estes doentes passaram um número médio de 338 dias (IQR: 93-757) em contacto com o programa. 517 doentes (52%) não necessitaram de internamento no hospital, e os que foram internados, ficaram uma mediana de 124 dias no hospital (IQR: 40-380). Os doentes asiáticos tiveram um aumento de 50% de probabilidade de serem internados no hospital.
Este relatório inclui 15 recomendações para orientar as reformas para o serviço e, nomeadamente, delinear a importância de uma visão organizacional e dos seus componentes-chave. As recomendações incluem o reforço da gestão e da liderança numa estrutura de equipe mais integrada, com recursos dedicados a melhorar a consciencialização da comunidade, a educação e deteção precoce, bem como a capacidade de receber referenciações diretas. Os Indicadores Chave de Desempenho devem ser estabelecidos, mas os Exames de Estado
Mental em risco, devem ser removidos. Auckland deve manter a faixa etária alvo atual. A duração do serviço deve ser aumentada para um mínimo de três anos, com a opção de aumentá-la para cinco anos. A proporção de gestor de cuidados para os doentes deve ser preconizada em 1:15, enquanto o pessoal de apoio não-clínico deve ser aumentado. Os psiquiatras devem ter uma carga de trabalho de cerca de 80 doentes por equivalente de tempo completo. Um serviço local de prestação de cuidados deve ser desenvolvido com, nomeadamente, intervenções culturais para responder às necessidades da população multicultural de Auckland. A capacidade de investigação deve ser incorporada no Serviço de Intervenção Precoce em Psicoses.
Qualquer alteração deverá envolver contacto com todas as partes interessadas, e a Administração Regional de Saúde deve comprometer-se em tempo, recursos humanos e políticos para apoiar e facilitar a mudança do sistema, investindo de forma significativa para melhor servir a comunidade Auckland. – – – – – – – – – – – – ABSTRACT: Auckland has been pioneering in the adoption of Early Intervention in Psychosis models but the design of the service has not changed in 19 years.

▼ Background: Homicide-suicides are rare events in which an individual commits a homicide and then takes his or her own life. Despite extensive media coverage and a recent increase in research in this field, our understanding of these events is limited as most studies are descriptive. There is little reliable evidence regarding mental illness in individuals who commit homicide-suicide. Aims: The central aim of this study was to examine the role of mental illness in cases of homicide-suicide. The objectives were to: (1) determine the prevalence of mental illness; (2) describe the characteristics of perpetrators and victims, and the circumstances of the offence; (3) examine the psychopathology of perpetrators prior to the offence. Method: The research design was a mixed methods study of homicide-suicide. Quantitative and qualitative techniques were used to examine a national consecutive case series, in England and Wales, between 1st January 2006 and 31st December 2008. The sample contained 60 cases. Descriptive statistical analysis and a thematic framework analysis were undertaken on documents obtained from coroners, the police, GP medical records, records of mental health services contact and newspaper articles. The social, behavioural, offence and clinical characteristics of these incidents were reported. Results: Most of these offences were committed by men (53, 88%). The average age of perpetrators was 44 years (range 18-85). The overwhelming majority of these incidents involved close family members, mainly current or former intimate partners and/or the children of the perpetrator. Over half of the perpetrators had previously been diagnosed with mental health problems by a GP, most commonly depression. The incident was, in most cases, preceded by an actual separation from an intimate partner, or the perpetrator perceived separation to be imminent. The emotional responses to the loss of the relationship included: anger; frustration; humiliation; jealousy; desire for revenge; hopelessness, guilt and remorse. Poor coping strategies were observed, with many having a history of previous self-harm or suicide attempts, and difficulty controlling their aggression. Despite the high proportion of lifetime mental illness, few had been in recent contact with their GP for psychological problems prior to the incident. In the majority of cases, incidents involving mentally ill perpetrators were reported responsibly in newspapers. However, there were instances in which journalists sensationalised the incidents and provided stereotypical portrayals of the perpetrator. Conclusion: The findings from this study add valuable empirical qualitative data to the literature. These incidents occur in the context of existing and challenging common social issues, such as intimate partner violence, child custody disputes, an ageing population, and mental disorder. The evidence from this study shows that these perpetrators had an extreme reaction to an interpersonal crisis resulting in severe emotional distress. Perpetrators from vulnerable groups…
