Psychiatric morbidity among young-adults cannabis users.
Abstract This cross-sectional study aims to determine lifetime prevalence of psychiatric disorders (including substance use disorders, -SUD and other non substance use disorders, -Non-SUD) among 289 young (18- 30 years) regular cannabis users, during the last year, in non-clinical settings in Barcelona. The Spanish version of the Psychiatric Interview for Substance and Mental Disorders (PRISM) was administered. Only 28% of the participants did not present any psychiatric disorder; while 65% had some SUD, the most common related to cannabis use (62%). Nearly 27% presented a non-SUD disorder. A younger age of initiat...

[Aphasia, prosopagnosia and mania: a case diagnosed with right temporal variant semantic dementia].
Abstract Neurologic disorders can produce "secondary" mania, and clinicians must distinguish secondary mania from bipolar disorders (BD). Patients with new and late onset mania require an evaluation that includes a thorough history, a neurologic examination, neuroimaging, and other selected tests. Neurologic causes of mania include strokes in the right basotemporal or inferofrontal region, strokes or tumors in the perihypothalamic region, Huntington's disease and other movement disorders, multiple sclerosis and other white matter diseases, head trauma, infections such as neurosyphilis and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease,...

[Fragile X premutation in adult psychiatry: four cases and overview of clinical presentation].
We present four cases of FraX-PM, diagnosed in an adult psychiatry setting and confirmed by genetic testing. The aim of this report is to increase familiarity among psychiatric practitioners, since this common condition is seldom included in the current diagnostic practice, which is based on atheoretical definitions.

[From crisis to adjustment disorder: a medicalization of a concept?].
Abstract This review aimed to compare two concepts in the psychiatric literature: crisis and adjustment disorder. The two concepts stem from different theoretical perspectives, rely upon different (though relatively loose) bodies of data, and may serve different purposes. The concept of crisis originated from an approach that could be considered psychodynamic, humanistic, and community oriented. Treatment, according to this approach, is known as crisis intervention and is characterized as being principally psychological, social, humanistic, and systemic. The generic approach to crisis calls for immediate aid rather...

[The validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the inventory of statements about self-injury].
CONCLUSION: In the light of the findings, it was concluded that the Turkish version of ISAS could be used as a reliable and valid tool in assessing non-suicidal self-injury in research and treatment contexts. PMID: 23446540 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Turkish Journal of Psychiatry)

[Googling suicide: evaluation of websites according to the content associated with suicide].
CONCLUSION: Suicidal content, as well as the possibility of content generated on the Internet, should be taken into account while planning suicide prevention programs. Further studies are needed to determine which risk factors and protective features of the Internet affect suicidal behavior among individuals.

[Mental problems and impulsivity reported by adolescents: an epidemiological study].
CONCLUSION: Even one definite impulsivity symptom must be addressed since it is associated with serious behavioral and relational problems. There may be dose-response interaction between the number of definite impulsivity symptoms and behavioral and relational problems.

[Quality of life in children with neurofibromatosis type 1, based on their mothers' reports].
CONCLUSION: NF1 negatively affected HRQoL in the patient group. We think that multidisciplinary evaluation and, in particular, psychiatric management of NF1 patients are necessary to improve patient HRQoL. PMID: 23446537 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Turkish Journal of Psychiatry)

[Violent behavior variables among patients with schizophrenia under forensic psychiatric process: a case-control study].
CONCLUSION: Investigation into the behavior patterns of patients with schizophrenia exhibiting violent behavior and taking measures to manage the potential risks in these individuals may help to reduce the incidence of future violent behavior. Studies such as this one can aid in improving a patient's social measures and in protecting the people around these individuals.

[Association of serum homocysteine and methionine levels with cognition and functioning in bipolar disorder].
CONCLUSION: Low serum methionine was found to be a predictor of BD, a condition which can lead to a decrease in SAM synthesis and thus to a variety of complications in methylation reactions. Additional studies are needed to clarify the impact of single carbon metabolism on BD. PMID: 23446535 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Turkish Journal of Psychiatry)

[Association of suicide attempts with childhood traumatic experiences in patients with major depression].
CONCLUSION: Childhood trauma may be a risk factor for suicide attempts in patients with depression. Inquiring childhood traumatic experiences could make an important contribution to predict suicide risk in patients with depression.

[An adolescent with autism and a somatic high-risk profile receiving treatment with antipsychotics refuses blood tests].
Abstract An 18-year-old adolescent with an autism spectrum disorder was on antipsychotic medication for anxiety and aggressive behaviour. From a physical examination and the patient’s family medical history there emerged a high-risk profile for the metabolic syndrome. Because the patient refused blood tests the doctors were faced with the dilemma of whether to continue the patient’s medication with the risk of severe side effects or whether to stop medication, which could lead to the recurrence of severe behavioural problems and aggressive behaviour. The dilemma is discussed and some recommendat...

[Clinical zoanthropy].
CONCLUSION: Because of the possible co-occurrence of zoanthropy and alterations in coenesthesis, i.e. the sensation of physical existence, mental health workers should be on the lookout for cases of clinical zoanthropy in clinical practice and avoid treating them in the same way as they would treat other delusions. All cases that occur should be subjected to extra somatic investigations – including an EEG and neuroimaging – and treatment should be adjusted in accordance with the findings.

CONCLUSION: If indications are particularly strong there may be good reason to use melatonin to treat sleep disorders in children with <span class="abbreviation">adhd</span>. However, further research into the safety of melatonin is needed. PMID: 23696337 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Tijdschrift voor Psychiatrie)

[The use of psychodiagnostic tests in forensic psychiatric reports within the framework of internment. An exploratory study of records on internees in the judicial district of Ghent].
CONCLUSION: In spite of the difficult circumstances in which a forensic psychiatrist has to work, test instruments were used regularly in diagnostics. Moreover, most of the test instruments used were considered acceptable according to the scientific literature. The study has shown the need for a clear-cut legal framework involving criteria that forensic psychiatrists must meet when conducting their research. Inspiration for these criteria is to be found in the Netherlands where psychiatrists are already working with a specific format for forensic psychiatric reports.

CONCLUSION: Not only should the mental health institutes counsel and inform the employees who have been victims of violence, they should also promote the development and implementation of an effective prosecution policy. PMID: 23696335 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Tijdschrift voor Psychiatrie)
