Comparing plasma levels and ratios of tryptophan, serotonin, kynurenine and quinolinic acid between patients with bipolar disorder and healthy controls
Substantially, BD-patients with low 5-HT and severe burden could be distinguished based on KYN profiles/trajectories when affected by depression or PTSD, entailing different neuroinflammatory/neuroendocrine patterns in mood vs. post-traumatic stress dimensions. This will encourage deeper assessment of BD metabolic/inflammatory biomarkers, allowing for refined patients' stratifications and targeted therapeutic interventions
History of Trauma Exposure and Post-Traumatic Stress Spectrum Symptoms in a Sample of Bariatric Surgery Candidates
Obesity is a growing health concern in Western countries and the link between obesity and mental disorders has been extensively studied, although less attention has been paid to post-traumatic stress spectrum symptoms (PTSS). This observational study aimed at exploring the correlations between lifetime trauma exposure and its related PTSS and maladaptive eating behaviours in obese patients who are candidates for bariatric surgery. A total of 189 …
Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms in Parents of Preschoolers First Diagnosed with Autism
(1) Background: A child's new diagnosis of autism can represent a highly stressful event for parents. Subthreshold autistic traits (ATs) have been linked to higher vulnerability to psychopathology when exposed to stressful situations, and high rates of ATs have been reported among parents of autistic children. This study aimed to evaluate post-traumatic stress spectrum symptoms (PTSS) in parents of preschool children newly diagnosed with autism a…
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in ICU Survivors
Intensive care unit (ICU) admission can represent a relevant physical and psychological burden in patients, leading to long-term mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The present study aimed to systematically assess the physical and psychiatric (particularly depressive, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress) symptoms in patients discharged from the ICU of a major University Hospital in Italy (…
Peritraumatic Distress Affected the Course of Depressive Symptoms During the Covid-19 Pandemic Lockdown in Subjects with Affective and Anxiety Disorders
In western countries, the COVID-19 pandemic represented a unique scenario of a global threat of contagion of a life-threatening illness, as confirmed by the need for exceptional and never adopted measures represented by national lockdowns. This study aimed to investigate peritraumatic distress in the framework of the lockdown and to measure the impact on the course of depressive symptoms during the "first wave" of the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy. …
A 12-month longitudinal naturalistic follow-up of cariprazine in schizophrenia
This study confirms a good efficacy profile of cariprazine in both positive and negative symptoms in patients with Schizophrenia, combined with a good tolerability profile in extrapyramidal symptoms
Exploratory Study on the Associations between Lifetime Post-Traumatic Stress Spectrum, Sleep, and Circadian Rhythm Parameters in Patients with Bipolar Disorder
The present study aimed at exploring whether lifetime post-traumatic stress spectrum symptoms are associated with chronotype in patients with bipolar disorder (BD). Moreover, we explored whether the chronotype can moderate the potential associations between lifetime post-traumatic stress spectrum symptoms and rest-activity circadian and sleep-related parameters. A total of 74 BD patients were administered the Trauma and Loss Spectrum Self-Report …
Mental Health Symptoms among General Practitioners Facing the Acute Phase of the Covid-19 Pandemic
During the 2020 first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, general practitioners (GPs) represented the first line of primary care and were highly exposed to the pandemic risks, with a consequent risk of developing a wide range of mental health symptoms. However, scant data are still available on factors associated with a worse outcome. The aim of the present study was to investigate mental health symptoms in 139 GPs in the aftermath of the first COVID-…
PTSD and Suicidal Behaviors Amongst L'Aquila 2009 Earthquake Young Survivors
Background: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is one of the most frequent and severe psychiatric consequences of natural disasters, frequently associated with suicidality. The aim of this study was at examining the possible relationships between suicidal behaviors and full-blown or partial PTSD, in a sample of young earthquake survivors. The second aim was at investigating the specific role of PTSD symptoms on suicidality. Methods: A total of…
Problematic Use of the Internet in Subjects With Bipolar Disorder
Background: Literature shows a high risk for problematic use of the Internet (PUI) in mood disorders, especially in bipolar disorder (BD). In subjects with BD, traumatic events and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are related to alcohol or substance use disorder, as well as to gambling disorder. However, little is known about the possible association between traumatic exposure and PUI. The present study was aimed at examining the relationship…
PTSD symptoms in healthcare workers facing the three coronavirus outbreaks
Mania Following Bereavement
Bereavement is the state of loss, determined in most of the cases by the death of a close person. It is probably the greatest sorrow that can occur in an individual life. Grief is a normal, healthy response to loss, evolving through stages in the process of mourning. In some cases, bereavement may lead to the outburst of manic episode: despite literature data being scarce, reports have explored this important clinical entity, variously called as …
Tele-Psychiatry Assessment of Post-traumatic Stress Symptoms in 100 Patients With Bipolar Disorder During the Covid-19 Pandemic Social-Distancing Measures in Italy
The acute phase of the COrona VIrus Disease-19 (COVID-19) emergency determined relevant stressful burdens in psychiatric patients, particularly those with chronic mental disorders such as bipolar disorder (BD), not only for the threat of being infected but also for the strict lock-down and social-distancing measures adopted, the economic uncertainty, and the limited possibilities to access psychiatric services. In this regard, telepsychiatry serv…
Disrupted Rhythmicity and Vegetative Functions Relate to PTSD and Gender in Earthquake Survivors
Background: Increasing evidence indicates that survivors to traumatic events may show disruption of sleep pattern, eating and sexual behaviors, and somatic symptoms suggestive of alterations of biorhythmicity and vegetative functions. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate these possible alterations in a sample of survivors in the aftermath of earthquake exposure, with particular attention to gender differences and impact of post-tra…
Professional Quality of Life and Mental Health Outcomes among Health Care Workers Exposed to Sars-Cov-2 (Covid-19)
The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global pandemic spreading worldwide, and Italy represented the first European country involved. Healthcare workers (HCWs) facing COVID-19 pandemic represented an at-risk population for new psychosocial COVID-19 strain and consequent mental health symptoms. The aim of the present study was to identify the possible impact of working contextual and personal variables (age, gender, working position, …
