  • Taking what you get or Getting what you Need

    Open AccessGina Åsbø, H Haavind et al.ARTICLECommunity Mental Health Journal2024Referências: 70

    How people in long-term recovery (clinical and personal) in first-episode psychosis (schizophrenia and bipolar spectrum disorders) experience the mental health and welfare services they interact with is not frequently studied but has significant implications. We therefore aimed to explore which aspects of these services people with FEP evaluate as important for their long-term recovery. Twenty participants in clinical and/or personal recovery fro…

  • Cognitive and Global Functioning in Patients With First-Episode Psychosis Stratified by Level of Negative Symptoms. A 10-Year Follow-Up Study

    Open AccessMagnus Johan Engen, Anja Vaskinn et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2022

    Negative and cognitive symptoms are core features of schizophrenia that are correlated in cross-sectional designs. To further explore the relationship between these critical symptom dimensions we use a method for stratifying participants based on level and persistence of negative symptoms from absent to sustained levels over a 10-year follow-up period. We investigate associations with cognitive performance and level of global functioning. First-e…

  • Locked out during Covid-19 lockdown—an online survey of relatives of people with psychotic and bipolar disorders in Norway

    Open AccessSofie R Aminoff, Erlend Mork et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    Mental health services in Norway did not manage to meet the needs of patients with severe mental illness and their relatives during the first COVID-19 lockdown. To be better prepared, Norwegian mental health services should consider prioritising infrastructure to ensure access to care and support for both patients and relatives. Digital tools and telephone calls are generally well accepted as substitutes for face-to-face contact

  • Covid-19 lockdown – who cares? The first lockdown from the perspective of relatives of people with severe mental illness

    Open AccessErlend Mork, Sofie R Aminoff et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    Many relatives found the first lockdown hard for their family. Efforts to integrate relatives' perspectives in health care and contingency plans under normal circumstances could potentially alleviate some of the extra burden experienced by families during extraordinary circumstances

  • Sex-Specific Effect of Serum Lipids and Body Mass Index on Psychotic Symptoms, a Cross-Sectional Study of First-Episode Psychosis Patients

    Open AccessPriyanthi B Gjerde, Carmen Simonsen et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2021

    Background: Schizophrenia is a disorder with considerable heterogeneity in course and outcomes, which is in part related to the patients' sex. Studies report a link between serum lipids, body mass index (BMI), and therapeutic response. However, the role of sex in these relationships is poorly understood. In a cross-sectional sample of first-episode psychosis (FEP) patients, we investigated if the relationship between serum lipid levels (total cho…

  • Symptom Profiles in Psychotic Disorder Not Otherwise Specified

    Open AccessLine Widing, Carmen Simonsen et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2020

    Introduction: Approximately 10% of patients with psychotic disorders receive the diagnosis “Psychotic disorder not otherwise specified” (PNOS). However, there is a lack of knowledge about the clinical presentations captured by this diagnosis in the mental health services. Therefore, we examined the symptom profiles of participants with PNOS compared to participants with bipolar disorder (BD) and schizophrenia spectrum disorder (SZ) diagnoses. Met…
