Filter by:There is considerable need for psychological intervention targeting stressor-related mental health symptoms related to COVID-19. The investigators have developed an online self-directed transdiagnostic intervention to address this need called RESTORE: Recovering from Extreme Stressors Through Online Resources and E-health. The specific aims of this project are to refine and investigate the feasibility, initial safety, and efficacy of RESTORE for addressing mental health symptoms in first responders, health care workers (HCW), and Canadian Armed Forces members exposed to COVID-19-related traumatic or extreme stressors.
Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is associated with recurrent intractable abdominal pain, pancreatic exocrine insufficiency and endocrine dysfunction. Very few studies had evaluated the quality of life in CP, and even a fewer have assessed the mental status in these patients. In the current study, we proposed to evaluate the the relationship between pain, quality of life and depression status in two large independent cohorts of patients with CP. We also proposed to evaluate the brain metabolites in the right and left anterior cingulate cortex, basal ganglia, hippocampus and prefrontal cortex using magnetic resonance spectroscopy. We further proposed to evaluate the pasta metabolites and look for associations with the mental state. Finally, we proposed to evaluate how CP related education of the patients could impact on their mental status and response to interventions on pain.
We seek to test the efficacy of the Spanish version of the "Catalina" web-app intervention compared to an attention control web-app in reducing symptoms of depression and/or anxiety and motivate women to take action to get help.
This is a 1-year open-label study to access the safety of REL-1017 once daily (QD) as an adjunctive treatment of Major Depressive Disorder. Study participants will continue to take their current antidepressant therapy in addition to the study drug for the duration of the treatment period.
The purpose of this study is to determine if LY03005 is effective and safe in improve MADRS score, as compared to placebo (no medicine) in participants with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
In December 2019, infection with a new coronavirus Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in China and has since spread throughout the world. Forms of varying severity of COVID-19, a disease induced by this emerging virus, have been described in pregnant women. In addition to the direct effects of the virus on the pregnant woman and the fetus, the pandemic context itself is likely to act as a psychological risk factor and to alter the protective factors for mental disorders. This pandemic context is in itself anxiety-provoking, even traumatogenic, particularly because of the potentially lethal infectious risk that it conveys, all the more so in psychologically vulnerable populations. In addition to the fear of viral contamination, the fear of childbirth and the postpartum period, which includes a more or less important part of anxiety-provoking uncertainty, is added to the fear of viral contamination in the perinatal period. This addition of stress factors is likely to increase the prevalence of perinatal depressive disorders and anxiety disorders, particularly the psychotraumatic experience of childbirth. Sanitary and social measures, such as quarantine, restriction of access of accompanying persons to maternity unit, or contagious isolation of mothers suspected of being infected or infected, which may furthermore impose a separation of mother and child, are also likely to have psychopathological consequences. In this context, three maternity wards of the PREMA University Hospital Federation (UHF PREMA) : Groupe hospitalier Paris Saint-Joseph (GHPSJ), Louis Mourier Hospital (APHP) and Port-Royal Hospital (APHP), in partnership with the "Centre de Psychopathologie du Boulevard Brune (CPBB)" and the psychiatry department of the Louis Mourier Hospital have set up a care protocol consisting of a systematic screening offered to women following childbirth on the first day of their pregnancy, aimed at identifying those with perinatal anxiety and depressive symptoms. Women presenting symptoms are then treated according to the modalities adapted to the organization of each of these three centers.
Emotional disorders (anxiety and/or depression) are severely undiagnosed and untreated despite being among the most common mental disorders, particularly at a young age. Half of all mental disorders begin by age 14; three-quarters by age 24, which makes adolescence a particularly crucial stage. In adolescence, prodromal signs of mental disorders and even full-blown clinical conditions often remain undetected, undiagnosed and untreated. However, there is an absence of evidence-based protocols to reach at-risk youth for developing emotional disorders. There is an urgent need for a paradigm shift by developing intervention protocols to early identify and treat at-risk adolescents, thus preventing them from developing severe mental disorders later on in life. Mental health selective prevention is key to helping at-risk adolescents thrive before emotional disorder evolves. To cover this gap, PROCARE is conceptualized as a modularized selective preventive programme for adolescents aged 12 to 18 years. Using personalized medicine approach, PROCARE will allow to tailor intervention protocols according to the particular needs of an individual, but also to identify vulnerable people according to risk factors. Adolescents will be stratified based on risk and resilience status and allocated to a 3-arm intervention trial, delivered as a group, face-to-face or telehealth format, depending on Covid19 restrictions imposed by government. By the very first time, PROCARE as selective intervention for at-risk adolescents will deliver specific add-on modules to tackle risk factors evidenced by adolescents, along with a core intervention. The PROCARE protocol aims to reduce the effect of risk factors and enhance protective factors that will eventually lead to lasting positive effects for adolescents. PROCARE will combine quantitative analysis, with special attention to vulnerable groups in a sex/gender disaggregated way. The PROCARE project is expected to have a far impact ultimately contributing to preventing and reducing the prevalence of mental disorders in the young. The outcomes of PROCARE will contribute to identifying and treating adolescents at risk for emotional mental at an early stage, before they incur personal, societal and economic cost. PROCARE will be culturally-adapted and implemented as a multicenter Randomized-Controlled Trial (RCT). PROCARE will be designed to be an acceptable, scalable, and sustainable selective prevention program.
esketamine is an optical isomer of ketamine. Compared with ketamine, esketamine has the characteristics of higher effective value, stronger receptor affinity, less adverse reactions of nervous system, and pharmacokinetics is controllable. Domestic and foreign studies have focused on the therapeutic effect of esketamine on major depression, but less attention has been paid to perioperative depression.This study intends to explore the effect of small doses of esketamine on patients with breast cancer.Postoperative depression and pain are observed.
This randomized controlled study aimed to determine the effect of education on disease management on the quality of life, and anxiety and depression levels of women with Rheumatoid Arthritis. The hypotheses of the current study are as below: H0: Education on disease management in women with Rheumatoid Arthritis does not affect the quality of life and anxiety and depression levels. H1: Education on disease management in women with Rheumatoid Arthritis affects the quality of life and anxiety and depression levels. Patients and Methods: The study was conducted with 66 women with Rheumatoid Arthritis (32 intervention, 34 control groups) at the rheumatology clinic and polyclinic of a university hospital between February and October 2019, in the city of Edirne, Turkey. Data were collected with "Patient Information Form", "Rheumatoid Arthritis Quality of Life Scale", "Health Assessment Questionnaire" and "Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale".
RATIONALE: Exercise may improve the mood and cognition in young people. PURPOSE: It has been well-known that physical exercise can generally benefit the mental health. However, most evidences that physical exercise improves psychiatric symptoms come from retrospective or cross-sectional studies. Moreover, the studies on the effect of physical exercise in the young adults' mental health were limited. This randomized-controlled trial aims to determinate the effects of a chronic and aerobic exercise on the mood and cognition of young people.
