Alcohol use patterns among Brazilian adults.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
DISCUSSION: Abstinence is high in the Brazilian population. However, elevated proportions of those who drink consume alcohol in a high risk pattern (binge-drinking), report a high level of alcohol problems, alcohol abuse and dependence. National public policies must consider these factors, as well as the regional Brazilian differences. PMID: 19918673 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Revista Brasileira de Psiquiatria)

The transtheoretical model and substance dependence: theoretical and practical aspects.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
DISCUSSION: The review of the Transtheoretical Model brought intentional behavior change to light, which could broaden the understanding of addictive behaviors. Together with its concepts of processes and stages of change, the Transtheoretical Model provides professionals with the idea that the effectiveness of therapy is dependent upon the capability of the therapist to match the technique to the current motivational stage of the patient in the process of change. This demonstrates the importance of identifying the stage of change of the patient when they present for treatment. Here, we describe the principal elements of t...

Suicidal ideation among students enrolled in healthcare training programs: a cross-sectional study.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Although we did not observe significant differences regarding suicidal ideation and depression among the three healthcare programs, our findings suggest that the presence of suicidal ideation is indeed a source of concern. Early identification of these symptoms is crucial in order to offer appropriate support and treatment and prevent deaths by suicide.

Coping strategies for craving management in nicotine dependent patients.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: The most intense craving can lead nicotine-dependent individuals to use confrontive coping strategies that make them unable to control their emotions or to face the situations of high risk of relapse. This finding demonstrates that the treatment of smokers should include psychological education about the pitfalls of using these types of strategy and should teach them new types of coping strategies for craving management.

In this study, no significant seasonal differences were observed in the occurrences of suicides, with the exception of the male sample.

Bipolar disorder first episode and suicidal behavior: are there differences according to type of suicide attempt?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: Depressed patients had more suicide attempts over time, which could be explained by the higher prevalence of bipolar II subtype in this group, whereas manic/hypomanic patients had a lifelong history of more frequent violent suicide attempts, not explained by any of the variables studied. Our results support the evidence that non-violent suicide attempters and violent suicide attempters tend to belong to different phenotypic groups.

A review of psychiatric genetics research in the Brazilian population.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: The Brazilian population is one of the most heterogeneous populations in the world, formed mainly by the admixture between European, African and Native American populations. Although the admixture process is not a particularity of the Brazilian population, much of the history and social development in Brazil underlies the ethnic melting pot we observe nowadays. Such ethnical heterogeneity of the Brazilian population obviously brings some problems when performing genetic studies. However, the Brazilian population offers a number of particular characteristics that are of major interest when genetic studies are ca...
