Anxiety and posttraumatic stress in post-acute sequelae of Covid-19
Clinically significant anxiety and PTSD are found in approximately 1 of 3 individuals after COVID-19 infection. They are highly comorbid with each other as well as with depression and fatigue. All patients seeking care for PASC should be screened for these neuropsychiatric complications. Symptoms of worry, nervousness, subjective changes in mood, and cognition as well as behavioral avoidance are particularly important targets of clinical interven…
Characteristics of Calls to a Covid-19 Mental Health Hotline in the First Wave of the Pandemic in New York
The write stuff
Clinicians often wonder if the single sentence from the Folstein Mini-Mental Status Exam (MMSE) offers meaningful information about the patient. We compared single sentences derived from the MMSE generated by 3 groups of participants — hospitalized medically-ill patients with psychiatric comorbidity, hospitalized medically-ill patients without psychiatric comorbidity, and non-hospitalized non-psychiatric participants. These sentences were analyze…
HIV+ caregivers and HIV+ non-caregivers
OBJECTIVE: To examine a cohort of HIV+ study participants, who are caregivers (CGs) and non-caregivers (NCGs), to determine whether differences exist across their sociodemographic backgrounds, immune functioning, and quality-of-life (i.e., symptom distress, physical, and mental quality-of-life). METHODS: A secondary analysis of the cross-sectional subset of the population-based Collaborations HIV Outcomes Research US Cohort (CHORUS). Sample consi…
The Economic Burden of Home Care for Children with HIV and Other Chronic Illnesses
Objectives. We compared types, amounts, and costs of home care for children with HIV and chronic illnesses, controlling for the basic care needs of healthy children to determine the economic burden of caring for and home care of chronically ill children. Methods. Caregivers of 97 HIV-positive children, 101 children with a chronic illness, and 102 healthy children were surveyed regarding amounts of paid and unpaid care provided. Caregiving value w…
Predictors of Employment of Men With HIV/Aids
OBJECTIVE: To identify patterns and predictors of work status and number of hours employed in a group of men with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). METHODS: A total of 141 participants had semiannual neuropsychiatric, psychosocial, and medical assessments over a period of 30 months. These six occasions provided the basis for identifying patterns of employment (part-time, full-time, or unemployed). Those…
Plans to hasten death among gay men with HIV/Aids
This study assessed the prevalence and nature of thoughts and future plans to end one's life in a group of gay men with HIV/AIDS over an 18-month period. HIV-positive men (n = 167) participated in a series of clinical interviews which measured current health status, current and past psychiatric disorders, current levels of distress, and thoughts and plans about ending their lives currently or at some future point. A small number of HIV-positive m…
Psychological Effects of Haart
OBJECTIVE: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the psychological consequences of combination antiretroviral treatment in terms of mood, hope, and life satisfaction in men with symptomatic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or acquired immune deficiency syndrome and to compare those whose health improved with those whose health did not improve. METHODS: One hundred seventy-three HIV+ gay or bisexual men with symptomatic HIV ill…
Fatigue in HIV Illness
OBJECTIVE: This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of clinical fatigue reported by gay/bisexual men at all HIV illness stages, and whether fatigue, while associated with depression, independently contributes to limitations in physical function and disability. METHOD: HIV- men, HIV+ men with CD4 counts >500, HIV+ men with CD4 counts 200 to 500, and men with AIDS were compared on prevalence of clinical fatigue, as defined by a standa…
HIV-Infected Intravenous Drug Users in Methadone Maintenance Treatment
Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a significant and growing problem among intravenous drug users (IVDUs), both from the standpoint of personal morbidity and public health concerns regarding spread of the virus. Most HIV-infected IVDUs are opioid addicts. The most common form of long-term treatment of opioid dependence is methadone maintenance treatment (MMT). MMT can therefore play an important role in both AIDS prevention …
