There is limited research completed in LMICs about paediatric mental health, particularly related to youth. School is a place where many adolescents first seek mental health support. This study examined how educators in Nicaragua view youth mental health and how mental health can be supported in LMIC scho…

To establish whether the immune alterations in depression could be related to neurovegetative symptoms, lymphocyte subsets were assessed in major depressive and dysthymic patients who exhibited either typical or atypical features (ie, the latter characterized by mood reactivity and reversed neurovegetative features). METHOD: Blood was colle…
