Mental Health in Sexual and Gender Minority Populations
Involuntary psychiatric treatment in Reggio Emilia
Overall, prior coercion history and organizational factors appeared to play a more prominent role than demographic characteristics in shaping IPT-related outcomes. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening community-based alternatives, early intervention strategies, and bias-aware staff training to reduce reliance on coercive practices
From Policy to Practice
This study presents a research protocol employing the Delphi method to develop a consensus-based definition of the Life Project (LP) for autistic adults in the Italian context. LPs, conceived as individualized, person-centered plans, aim to promote autonomy, social inclusion, and quality of life through coordinated health and social care interventions. Despite recent legislative and policy advancements in Italy a unified operational definition an…
Microaggression toward LGBTIQ people and implications for mental health
And is there no new thing under the sun? Retrospective study on the presence of stigmatizing articles in two Italian newspapers during the period 2006–2021
This study explores the representation of mental health in two prominent Italian newspapers, Corriere della Sera and La Repubblica, spanning from 2006 to 2021. The aim was to quantify articles containing mental health-related terms, assess their focus on mental health issues, detect stigmatizing content, analyze temporal trends, and find possible predictors of stigmatizing articles. The search utilized electronic archives, with evaluators categor…
Expert opinions on improving coercion data collection across Europe
The strategy rated as most relevant was the collection of reliable data in the nationwide health register, ensuring that countries share a standard understanding/definition of different coercive measures. Respondents did not consider the feasibility of establishing a shared European database for coercive measures to be high, nor did they envision the unification of mental health legislation in the future. There is some consensus on the most suita…
Investigating the impact of poverty on mental illness in the UK Biobank using Mendelian randomization
It is unclear whether poverty and mental illness are causally related. Using UK Biobank and Psychiatric Genomic Consortium data, we examined evidence of causal links between poverty and nine mental illnesses (attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anorexia nervosa, anxiety disorder, autism spectrum disorder, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and schizophrenia).…
Can a negative religious causal attribution of mental illness affect the phenomenon of public stigma
This study assessed, through an exploratory approach, how religion-based negative causal attributions of mental illness may be associated to stigmatising attitudes and behaviours that contribute to public stigma in an Italian convenience sample. All participants (N = 311; average age = 33 years, 38.6% male) completed a set of three questionnaires: Religious Beliefs and Mental Illness Stigma Scale, the Attribution Questionnaire 27 and the Mental H…

Diagnostic Agreement between Physicians and a Consultation–Liaison Psychiatry Team at a General Hospital
Consultation-liaison psychiatry (CLP) manages psychiatric care for patients admitted to a general hospital (GH) for somatic reasons. We evaluated patterns in psychiatric morbidity, reasons for referral and diagnostic concordance between referring doctors and CL psychiatrists. Referrals over the course of 20 years (2000-2019) made by the CLP Service at Modena GH (Italy) were retrospectively analyzed. Cohen's kappa statistics were used to estimate …

A total of 570 students attended a seminar on stigma towards mental illness and were invited to complete an online survey which collected data on sociodemographic character…
Is Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry ‘Getting Old’? How Psychiatry Referrals in the General Hospital Have Changed over 20 Years
There is an ever-growing awareness of the health-related special needs of older patients, and Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry Services (CLPS) are significantly involved in providing such age-friendly hospital care. CLPS perform psychiatric assessment for hospitalized patients with suspected medical-psychiatric comorbidity and support ward teams in a bio-psycho-social oriented care management. Changes in features of the population referred to a CL…

Perceived insecurity, mental health and urbanization
AIMS: This article aims to (1) explore the levels of perceived insecurity in a sample of patients with mood or anxiety disorders and (2) assess whether living in 'big cities' can influence the levels of patients' perceived insecurity and social contacts compared to living in a non-urbanized context. METHODS: A total of 24 Italian mental health centers (MHCs) have been invited to participate. Twenty patients consecutively accessing the MHC have be…
University students’ identification of stigmatizing schizophrenia in Italian newspapers
Stigma associated with mental disorders represents one main obstacle to receive appropriate care for people with mental disorders. Compared to adults, university students have higher levels of stigmatizing attitudes toward patients with schizophrenia. The primary aim of this case-control study was to assess university students' ability to identify stigma toward schizophrenia in Italian newspapers. Secondary aims were: a) to explore differences in…
Who cares for it? How to provide psychosocial interventions in the community
BACKGROUND: Since the Mental Health Reform Law 1978/180, in Italy mental hospitals have been progressively closed and a community-centred psychiatric care oriented to rehabilitation began. After almost 35 years, the de-institutionalization process is now complete. However, psychosocial interventions in the community are provided only rarely, although a specific mental health professional, the psychiatric rehabilitation technician, has been establ…
