Prolonged Grief Disorder Among Relatives of Deceased Patients in Intensive Care Unit During the French Covid-19 Lockdown
The death of a relative in an intensive care unit (ICU) represents a major psychological burden. During the first COVID-19 lockdown in France, strict visiting restrictions profoundly altered end-of-life experiences and bereavement. In this context, our University Hospital implemented OLAF, a temporary ICU-psychiatry liaison phone-support service for relatives. We conducted a one-year prospective follow-up study of relatives bereaved after an ICU …
High Psychological Impact of Covid‐19 on French Healthcare Workers
INTRODUCTION: The Covid-19 outbreak hit the world forcing public institutions to rethink their core functioning. Healthcare workers (HCWs) were particularly at risk for negative mental health outcomes, given their direct exposure to many pandemic-related stressors. Our study aimed to assess the psychological outcomes of French HCWs during the Covid-19 pandemic, including PTSD, depression and burn-out. METHODS: This study presents the baseline dat…
Predictors of prospective suicide attempts in a group at risk of personality disorder following self-poisoning
Some clinical features, such as alcohol dependence, suicide intent, and hopelessness, may not be reliable predictors of SA among PD patients. However, in the short term, previous SA and, in the long term, depression and alexithymia may be the most robust clinical predictors to consider in our sample of patients with self-poisoning SA. Clinical trial registration : [ClinicalTrials.gov], NCT00641498 24/03/2008 [#2006-A00450-51]
Case Report
Therefore, this case study suggests that Lithium plays a role in serum valproate level elevation, and supports the hypothesis of an association between an elevated serum valproate level, hyperammonemia and reversible encephalopathy. A more in-depth pharmacokinetic exploration would provide a better understanding of the mechanisms of these interactions and support for the benefit-risk balance associated with this frequent co-prescription
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder With Flashbacks of an Old Childhood Memory Triggered by Right Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Surgery in Adulthood
this case indicates that PTSD may occur after temporal lobe epilepsy surgery and may specifically stem, as in this context, from the excision of part of the medial temporal lobe structures. Although rarely reported, PTSD may be undiagnosed when not selectively detected via multi-disciplinary neurological and psychiatric management, in the preoperative period and the immediate and delayed postoperative period
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms in Lymphoma Patients
The cancer experience may be marked by repeat stressors and/or traumas. The aim of our study was to assess traumatic events in a group of patients diagnosed with lymphoma and to determine which of these contribute to the development of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder/PTSD. Two weeks after receiving a diagnosis of lymphoma, patients were referred for an assessment of peritraumatic distress (using the Peritraumatic Distress Inventory/PDI) and peritr…
Suicidal Ideation and Traumatic Exposure Should Not Be Neglected in Epileptic Patients
Introduction: Patients with psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNESs) have often been exposed to traumatic events, which is a risk factor for suicidal behavior. This would suggest that the severity of suicidal ideation is greater in PNES than in patients suffering only from epileptic seizures (ESs). However, these psychiatric symptoms may be underestimated in the ES population. The specific features or similarities between the psychiatric clinica…
Symptoms Moderating the Association Between Recent Suicide Attempts and Trauma Levels
The present study focuses on variables moderating the incidence of recent suicide attempt in a large community sample (n = 39,617) of French citizens with various levels of trauma. Five trauma levels were established based on posttraumatic stress disorder items of the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview. Twenty-three symptoms were examined as potential moderating variables with a fan-shaped pattern. Seven symptoms regarding desire for d…
Effects of a psychiatric label on medical residents’ attitudes
BACKGROUND: Few data are available on the effects of a psychiatric label on medical residents' attitudes towards an individual. AIMS: To investigate the effect of a psychiatric label on the attitudes of medical residents towards an individual. METHODS: Medical residents were randomly assigned to one of two vignettes describing the same apparently healthy person, differing only in the presence of a psychiatric label for one of them. Participants (…
