Authors: Davoood R. , Ghahari S. , Pirmoradi M.R. 
Published: June 2017

ObjectThe aim of this study was to compare early maladaptive schemas, emotion regulation and general health in offender prisoner men and normal group men.MethodsThe study method was causal – comparative (ex post facto). Participants included two groups: (1) all of offender prisoner men (n = 47) in Fooman jail and (2) normal group men (n = 47) in Fooman. Both groups were matched for age, occupation and education. All of the participants completed Young maladaptive schema questionnaire (Y MSQ), cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire (CERQ-P) and general health questionnaire (GHQ-12) individually. Data were analysed using independent t-test and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA).FindingThere was significant difference between two groups in total score of early maladaptive schema questionnaire and also in its subscales included abandonment, impaired autonomy/performance, impaired limits, other – directedness, over vigilance/inhibition, emotional inhibition (P < 0/01). The general health was different between groups, too. In addition, while groups showed significant difference in total score of emotion regulation and one of the subscales (rumination), no significant difference was explored between groups in self-blame, acceptance, positive refocusing, planning refocusing, positive re-evaluation, perspective taking, catastrophizing and others blame.ConclusionSignificant differences between the two groups in terms of general health, schema dimensions and emotional regulation dimensions suggest that dysfunctional schemas, maladaptive emotional strategies and low general health could be involved in criminal behaviour.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
Political abuse and forensic psychiatry in communist Romania
Authors: Hostiuc S. , Buda O. , Drima E. 
Published: June 2017

Psychiatry was often used for political reasons in the second half of the 20th century, especially in the former communist countries. According to the global initiative on psychiatry, political abuse of psychiatry is defined as the incorrect usage of diagnoses, treatments, or psychiatry admissions in order to limits fundamental rights of persons or population groups in certain countries. Most studies regarding political abuse as a repressive measure analysed it in either USSR or China. Romania is one of the countries from the former communist block in which psychiatry was proven to be used as a form of repression against political dissidents. One of the psychiatry “tools” used against political dissidents was the widespread usage of mandatory, non-voluntary admissions. They were seen as preventive measures, whose purpose was to prevent an individual to act antisocially. The purpose of this article is to analyse the characteristics of the patients that were non-voluntarily admitted in psychiatry hospitals, based on studies published by the forensic psychiatry researchers in the communist period. The main conclusions of this study are: (1) the presence of a disproportionate number of patients admitted with schizophrenia, especially the paranoid type; (2) patients that performed acts against the state were more often diagnosed with schizophrenia; (3) patients that performed acts against the state were more often considered to have no judicial responsibility; (4) the non-voluntary admission/treatment were more often removed for crimes against persons, and less often in crimes against the state.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Authors: Dodd P. 
Published: June 2017

This talk will outline the regulatory framework (both mental health and social care) currently in place in Ireland for people with intellectual disability (I.D.) and mental health problems, in the context of the varied nature of available mental health services. As not all aspects of service are currently under the regulatory system, potential ethical issues arise, and will be discussed.In addition new legislation regarding the support of people with vulnerable decision making capacity will be outlined (Assisted Decision Making (Capacity) Act, 2015); potential ethical issues that are currently arising from this legislation will be explored and discussed.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his declaration of competing interest.
Thanatology as a resource in the care of addicts and people with mental disorders
Authors: Färber S. , Färber M. 
Published: June 2017

IntroductionThe purpose of this research is to present multidisciplinary and relevance of Thanatology in coping of addictions and other mental disorders.ObjectiveThe aim of this paper is to analyse the scientific connections that thanatology establishes with other knowledge. With this postulate we present the thanatology and its relations with other disciplines, especially psychiatry, considering that addictions and mental disorders often have as triggering events of loss, death and mourning.MethodsTo develop this research we use the systematic literature review, following the process of research, cataloging, careful evaluation and synthesis of the documentation.ResultsThanatology is multidisciplinary shares and receives information from other sciences or sectors of knowledge without these modified or enriched. It is interdisciplinary because it originated disciplinary specialty of a mother discipline: Anthropology; and it is transdisciplinary, thence its relevance in research on the realities that revolve around mental disorders and addictions (Fig. 1).ConclusionIt is important to research on thanatology position in the scientific panorama, given the emergence of this reflection and the relevance of research for its interrelationship with other disciplines.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
Common Neural Networks Between ocd and Behavioural Addictions: Is ocd a Behavioral Addiction?
Authors: Grassi G. , Pallanti S. 
Published: June 2017

The stereotypical portrait of an obsessive–compulsive patient is an excessively self-controlled, risk aversive individual that acts in order to avoid potential loss or punishments. Although this portrait fits well with several clinical studies showing increased harm-avoidance in obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), more recent clinical, neuropsychological and neuroimaging studies challenged this idea and described a different portrait of OCD, showing several commonalities between OCD and addictions such as impulsivity, reward dysfunction and impaired decision-making. The results of these studies conflict with the stereotypical OCD portrait of doubtfulness and risk-aversiveness. In fact, these findings are prototypical for addiction and have led some authors in the last years to view OCD as a behavioral addiction. In our recently published article, we investigated the behavioral addiction model of obsessive (OCD), by assessing three core dimensions of addiction in patients with OCD and healthy participants. Similar to the common findings in addiction, OCD patients demonstrated increased impulsivity, risky decision-making, and biased probabilistic reasoning compared to healthy controls. During the presentation we will discuss the behavioral addiction model of OCD by focusing on common neuropsychological and neurobiological circuitries.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Published: June 2017

IntroductionAkathisia is commonly known for its objective components such as rocking while standing or sitting and lifting feet. However, little is known about its psychiatric impact that can even lead to suicidal attempts.ObjectivesThe aim of this study is to investigate the main psychiatric symptoms associated with akathisia in a Tunisian sample of patients under treatment for Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective or Bipolar Disorder.MethodsFifteen patients were diagnosed with akathisia using the Barnes Akathisia Scale. Psychiatric symptoms related to akathisia such as mood lability, sadness, anxiety, aggressivity, suicidal ideation, insomnia and social and professional impairment were assessed.ResultsThe average age of the sample was 47 years. The average antipsychotic chlorpromazine-equivalent total dosage was 1756 mg. All patients reported at least one psychiatric symptom imputed to akathisia. These were: mood lability (n = 11), inner restlessness (n = 10), anxiety (n = 10), sadness (n = 10), aggressivity (n = 6), and insomnia (n = 12). Eight patients described suicidal ideation and five confessed having committed a suicide attempt. Four and ten said akathisia had professional and social impact respectively. The prevalence of psychiatric symptoms did not differ according to sex, age, diagnosis, illness duration, presence of a comorbid anxiety disorder, the number and types of antipsychotics used, the antipsychotic chlorpromazine-equivalent total dosage or the reported drug compliance.ConclusionsPsychiatric symptoms resulting from Akathisia remain frequently undetected. Special interest by the clinician is required to elicit these symptoms.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

IntroductionAnxiety and depression is becoming an increasingly important public health issue. The adolescents’ population is among affected seriously.ObjectivesThe objectives of the study was to investigate the level of anxiety, depression and self-esteem among adolescents and explore links between.MethodologyParticipants were 99 adolescents randomly selected in school, aged between 12 to 19 years (M = 14.88; SD = 2.09); in terms of gender composition, there were girls 41.1% and boys 58.9%. The measures used included the Albanian versions of depression self-rating scale for children, the revised children's manifest anxiety scale, and the rosenberg self-esteem scale. All data has been analysed by SPSS 21 and Excel 2007.ResultsResults showed that clinical significant levels reported 10.3% of participants for anxiety and 22.4% for depression. With low self-esteem scored 16.3% of participants. Self-esteem is significantly negatively correlated only with depression (r = -.433, P < .00). Mann-Whitney Test didn’t found significant differences in anxiety based on self-esteem levels. Mann-Whitney Test found significant differences in depression levels based on levels of self-esteem (Mdlowself-esteem = 15; n = 16; Mdnormalself-esteem = 10; n = 81) as adolescents with low self-esteem had significantly higher depression as compared to adolescents with normal self-esteem (z = -2.876, P < .004).ConclusionsFindings suggested that self-esteem and depression links are present but not links self-esteem and anxiety. It is important to investigate these relationships in future research aimed identification/interventions programs.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

How much does love really hurt? Psychopathology and romantic relationships: A meta-analysis
Authors: Mirsu-Paun A. , Oliver J.A. 
Published: June 2017

IntroductionRomantic relationship quality (RRQ) and break-ups (RRB) among young adults have been associated with the onset of a first major depressive episode or suicide attempts. However, the size of these associations varies across studies and the relative weight of RRB versus RRQ needs to be understood.ObjectivesTo investigate (1) the size of the association between adolescent RRQ/RRB and psychopathology (i.e., depression, suicide ideation, deliberate self-harm, and suicide attempt); and (2) the role of potential moderators (e.g., gender, age, and nationality).MethodsA meta-analysis of 20 manuscripts reporting on 21 studies (n = 19623) was conducted, focusing specifically on adolescents and young adults. Studies focused on physically abusive relationships were excluded.ResultsA model combining relationship quality and break-up yielded a highly significant association between relationship measures and depression/self-harm but the strength of this relationship was modest (r = .229). The strength of the association between depression/self-harm and RRQ (r = .279) was statistically different from RRB (r = .145) (P = .006). Location (US vs. Non-US) had no effect. Age was not significant, B = -0.005, 95% CI [-0.026, 0.016], P = .647. Gender was a weak moderator (B = .160, 95% CI [-0.021, 0.340], P = .083).ConclusionsThe association between psychopathology and RRQ/RRB was statistically significant but relatively small. RRQ was a stronger predictor of depression compared to RRB. This association was slightly stronger for women than for men. Implications for practice and future research will be discussed.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
Migration, women and education: Iran case study
Authors: Mohammadi M. 
Published: June 2017

Short description migration of villagers to cities can be damaging the women's status in social affairs and promotion of family. Long description, one of the most controversial problems of rural dwellers’ migration to big cities, is the occupation of women in low-level jobs. The villagers mostly have little skills and women are deprived of knowledge and skills to cope with the new situation so that they cannot find good jobs to meet the family needs. The low-level jobs and income by men in black market after having migrated to the cities force women to adopt to work in dirty jobs or work as maid at homes to increase the financial capacities of the family and provide educational facilities for children. This can bring about many dangers for the family. First, children are deprived of family interaction most part of the day and most of them become trapped with illegal gangs of drug distribution. Second, women can be exploited with the burglary and shoplifting groups who use low educated and poor women. The destiny of most of these women is prison and being away from the family, which in turn worsens the situation. Vocational skills provided by NGOs have helped women to sustain their life but they are not enough. The factors involving with the situation of these women are the main focus of this paper.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his declaration of competing interest.
Internet Based Interventions and Patient Generated Bio- and Self-monitoring Data: How to Use them for Self-management in Affective Disorders
Authors: Hegerl U. , Sander C. , Koburger N. 
Published: June 2017

Even in developed countries only a small minority of patients with depression and bipolar disorders receives treatment according to guidelines and the treatment gaps are especially pronounced concerning psychotherapy.A variety of digital and internet based interventions have been developed mainly building on the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). A quite consistent finding is superiority compared to control groups with largest effect sizes when compared to waiting list controls, however the evidence provided by such studies is questionable. More support for efficacy is provided by studies showing a comparable efficacy compared to face-to-face CBT, however sufficiently powered non-inferiority studies compared to antidepressants or face-to-face therapy are needed. Such studies are necessary for deciding whether digital intervention should be integrated in the health care system mainly as a self-management tool or as an alternative to regular treatment with psychotherapy or pharmacotherapy.A dynamic new area of research explores the value for self-management and treatment decision of longitudinal data generated by the patient via self-ratings, wearables and other biosensors as well as the pattern of smartphone use. Within the BMBF-funded study STEADY a platform will be developed which allows the individual patient to securely store and integrate these data and to analyze them using analytic tools involving time series analyses. An overview will be given of similar approaches started in the last years within mental health.Disclosure of interestWithin the last three years, Prof. Hegerl was an advisory board member for Lundbeck, Takeda Pharmaceuticals, Servier and Otsuka Pharma a consultant for Bayer Pharma and a speaker for Medice Arzneimittel, Novartis and Roche Pharma.

Published: June 2017

IntroductionHIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection is related to several neuropsychiatric complications, such as dementia, encephalopathy, psychosis, as well as, opportunistic infections of the central nervous system (CNS). The discovery of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has limited these conditions and extended the life span of infected patients into a chronic illness, but it is also associated with neuropsychiatric adverse effects.ObjectivesTo review the literature on the most common neuropsychiatric complications of the ART, since it can be difficult to distinguish drugs toxicity, the effects of the virus, immune system and psycho-social events.MethodsThe authors have conducted an online search in PubMed with the terms: “Psychiatry”, “HIV”, “adverse effects” and “antiretroviral drugs” from 2011 until 2016. From the outcome were collected, analyzed and summarized the articles considered to be relevant.ResultsThe antiretroviral therapy (ART) are associated with a numerous adverse effects on the central and peripheral nervous systems, as well as, metabolic, gastrointestinal, cardiac, and other toxicities. The neuropsychiatric effects are common and highly variable, including depression, cognitive impairment and sleep disturbance. The nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and the non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors are one of the two classes of antiviral drugs most frequently associated with neuropsychiatric complications.ConclusionsThe occurrence of new-onset conditions related to ART makes it difficult to determine the association between psychiatric disorders and ART adverse effects, and given the fact that patients commit to lifelong therapy, as well as, they can diminish quality of life; it makes these assessment important in treating these conditions.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Published: June 2017

The year 2015 started a new assistance in the cycle of mental health care ending the gap that existed in the district of Beja in the last twenty years, in this area. The aim of this presentation is to give the data of nursing activity in the first six months inpatient psychiatric service. The population studded was 98 inpatients, 53%male and 47% females aged between 16 and 87-years-old, diagnosed with depression, schizophrenia, personality disorders, bipolar disorders, dementias and others. Descriptive statistic of collected data. We rated the gender, marital status, aged and main disorders as well as the nursing therapeutic activities preformed with the patients. Six different kinds of activities were done. The total of interventions were 148: relaxation, ludic activities, physical activity, art therapy, health education and music therapy. Nursing intervention in the treatment of people with mental disorders improves the compliance to the treatment (adherence, self-care, useful occupation, stress career and insight of the illness) during the hospitalization time, aiming to avoid the worsening situation and the social isolation of the patient, and promote the recovery and quality of life. These objectives begin on hospital stay during the acute crisis. We are aware of the fact that this is just the beginning of this approach and for more and better results we have to have a bigger sample and a longer time of intervention as well as better methodology, namely the use of scales to measure some parameters that can provide more consistent and objective findings.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
