Hikikomori-Like Social Withdrawal Mediates the Relationship Between Autistic Traits and Pathological Video Game Use Among University Students
BACKGROUND: With the rise of immersive digital entertainment, concerns have grown around Video Gaming addiction (VGA) and its potential link to severe social withdrawal, such as hikikomori, especially in individuals with high autistic traits (ATs). While the association between these dimension has been widely described, there are still few studies on its correlation and, so far, no study has yet investigated the three simultaneously. AIMS: Our st…
Assisted Suicide for Mental Disorders
BACKGROUND: Medical assistance in dying (MAiD), encompassing euthanasia and assisted suicide, has expanded from its original focus on terminal somatic illness to include, in some jurisdictions, individuals with psychiatric disorders. This shift has raised major ethical, legal, and clinical concerns. While proponents argue for respecting autonomy and recognizing the severity of psychological suffering, opponents highlight diagnostic uncertainty, f…
Relationships between depersonalization-derealization symptoms and separation anxiety in adult patients with mood and anxiety disorders
Our findings highlight a link between separation anxiety and DP symptoms. This connection contributes to understanding and evaluating suicidality in individuals with mood and anxiety disorders
Social camouflaging predicts eating disorder symptomatology among female patients with Borderline Personality Disorder
Social camouflaging is significantly elevated in women with BPD and is closely associated with disordered eating symptoms. Findings highlight camouflaging as a potential transdiagnostic mechanism linking autistic traits and ED symptomatology in BPD populations, with implications for diagnostic clarity and personalized treatment strategies
Presence and correlates of autistic traits among patients with social anxiety disorder
Our results confirm the link between SAD and autistic traits also in adult population, describing not only high levels of autistic traits in SAD adults, but also significant correlations between many core features of the two disorders and a predictive role of autistic traits on higher SAD symptoms
Autistic traits as predictors of post-traumatic stress symptoms among patients with borderline personality disorder
Our study confirmed the existence of a statistically significant relationship between the autism spectrum and BPD, while BPD subjects diagnosed with PTSD seem to show a higher autism spectrum burden
Case report
During the last few decades, a growing field of literature is focusing on hikikomori, a phenomenon described as a form of pathological social withdrawal or social isolation that lasts for more than 6 months leading to significant functional impairment and/or distress. Despite initially considered a culture-bound syndrome, hikikomori syndrome later gained a wider recognition in different countries, ranging from an attempt to take refuge in an idea…
The mediating effect of mood spectrum on the relationship between autistic traits and catatonia spectrum
The present study highlights the presence of a mediating role of the mood disorder spectrum in the relationship between autistic traits and the catatonia spectrum
Investigating suicidality across the autistic-catatonic continuum in a clinical sample of subjects with major depressive disorder and borderline personality disorder
In both disorders, higher catatonic traits are linked to higher suicidal tendencies, confirming the high risk of suicide for this population. However, different patterns of association between catatonic symptoms and suicidality were highlighted in the two disorders
Investigating Orthorexia Nervosa With the Orto-R in a Sample of University Students With or Without Subthreshold Autism Spectrum
Our results further highlighted the association between AT and ON, in particular among females
Complicated Grief
Problematic Internet Use in University Students Attending Three Superior Graduate Schools in Italy
Background : Over the past decades, problematic internet use (PIU) has dramatically increased, especially among young people. PIU has been recently associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and autistic traits. Subjects with PIU report an increased suicidal risk and the same has been demonstrated among patients with ASD. The aim of this study was to investigate putative PIU rates among students and explore the correlation between autistic tr…
