Uncovering Mental Health Stigma in Undergraduates From Different Study Fields
BACKGROUND: People with mental disorders (PMD) not only face difficulties related to their mental health problems, but also suffer from the stigma and discrimination associated with them. Research on social stigma in the educational setting has been mainly focused on health sciences students. AIMS: The main objective was to compare the level of social stigma toward PMD among university students, categorized by their fields of study. Additionally,…

Methods: All second-year medical students from the University of Valencia were invited to voluntarily complete the Community Attitudes Toward the Mentally Ill (CAMI), Repor…
What Are We Measuring When We Evaluate Digital Interventions for Improving Lifestyle? A Scoping Meta-Review
Background: Lifestyle Medicine (LM) aims to address six main behavioral domains: diet/nutrition, substance use (SU), physical activity (PA), social relationships, stress management, and sleep. Digital Health Interventions (DHIs) have been used to improve these domains. However, there is no consensus on how to measure lifestyle and its intermediate outcomes aside from measuring each behavior separately. We aimed to describe (1) the most frequent l…

A Multicentre, Randomised, Controlled Trial of a Combined Clinical Treatment for First-Episode Psychosis
Early intervention based on a combined clinical treatment involving CBT as an adjunctive to standard treatment may improve clinical and functional outcomes in FEP
Lifestyle in Undergraduate Students and Demographically Matched Controls during the Covid-19 Pandemic in Spain
Few studies have used a multidimensional approach to describe lifestyle changes among undergraduate students during the COVID-19 pandemic or have included controls. This study aimed to evaluate lifestyle behaviors and mental health of undergraduate students and compare them with an age and sex-matched control group. A cross-sectional web survey using snowball sampling was conducted several months after the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic in Spain.…
Staging, Neurocognition and Social Functioning in Bipolar Disorder
Introduction: Bipolar disorder (BD) is associated with significant neurocognitive and functional impairment, which may progress across stages. The 'latent stage' of BD remains understudied. This cross-sectional study assessed staging, neurocognition and social functioning among BD patients and their healthy siblings. Methods: Four groups were included: euthymic type I BD patients in the early ( n = 25) and late ( n = 23) stages, their healthy sib…
