Maternal perinatal depression and child neurocognitive development
Pregnancy frequently is associated with emotional conditions such as anxiety and depression. Perinatal depression has an incidence of around 12%. Only recently researcher put the attention on the effects of pre- and postpartum psychopathology on infant neurocognitive development. Neurobiology studies indicate that perinatal maternal depression can significantly affect the structure and function of children's prefrontal cortex and modulate the dev…
Phone-based outpatients’ follow-up in mental health centers during the Covid-19 quarantine
BACKGROUND: The current COVID-19 pandemic is affecting mental health of global population and, particularly, of people suffering from preexisting mental disorders. AIMS: This study aims to report on findings from a phone-based clinical follow-up conducted in two large catchment areas in Italy and Paraguay, during the COVID-19 lockdown, in order to provide psychiatric assessments and measure the level of stress related to the quarantine in a large…
Psychoeducation Reduces Alexithymia and Modulates Anger Expression in a School Setting
Bullying and violence are relevant issues in school settings and negatively impact students' well-being and mental health. Psychoeducation and anti-bullying programs may prevent violence among students by addressing emotional expression and regulation, alexithymia, and anger. We describe the impact of a psychoeducational intervention delivered to 90 male and 101 female school youths (N = 191), aged 12-14 years old, and aimed to improve their emot…
Perinatal depression screening and prevention
This study confirmed the benefit of screening programs for the early detection of PD among pregnant women. We may suggest a set of risk factors to be considered in the clinical assessment of PD risk as well as the promotion of similar programs to improve depressive outcomes and pathways to care for PD on the basis of a more accurate assessment and referral
Use of Psychoeducation for Psychotic Disorder Patients Treated With Modern, Long-Acting, Injected Antipsychotics
Introduction: There is an increased risk of adverse metabolic effects of some modern antipsychotic drugs, and concern that long-acting, injected preparations of them may increase such risk. We now report on clinical and metabolic outcomes in patient-subjects diagnosed with affective and non-affective psychotic disorders following exposure to psychoeducation on metabolic risks of modern antipsychotics followed by treatment with long-acting atypica…
Psychosocial interventions in schizophrenia
More research studies need to be conducted and included in the updated version of the international guidelines to confirm the effectiveness of psychosocial interventions in the long-term outcome of schizophrenia
Metabolic Syndrome in Psychotic Disorder Patients Treated With Oral and Long-Acting Injected Antipsychotics
Background: Severe mental illnesses are associated with increased risks for metabolic syndrome (MetS) and other medical disorders, often with unfavorable outcomes. MetS may be more likely with schizoaffective disorder (SzAff) than schizophrenia (Sz). MetS is associated with long-term antipsychotic drug treatment, but relative risk with orally administered vs. long-acting injected (LAI) antipsychotics is uncertain. Methods: Subjects ( n = 151 with…
