Published: September 2022

IntroductionLife is a stage in which we are all actors and online we can choose who we want to be. Catfishing is a modern phenomenon in which individuals present themselves online as someone they are not as a means of engaging with others through an idealized avatar. This term has gained prominence since its portrayal in documentary and television series. With the emergence of catfishing, an expectation of betrayal in online relationships is anticipated with increasing caution being exercised by those that engage in online forums.ObjectivesThe authors aim to explore this phenomenon and explore what personality traits might be associated with those who engage in catfishing others and in those that fall for the dupe.MethodsA review of the recent literature on the topic with focus on that which is most relevant to the theme was included.ResultsThe literature demonstrates that catfishing is an increasing trend as our online social interaction also increases. Catfishing appears to exist on a scale, where approximately 80% of the online population engage in some form, by means of amplifying their social status. Those with low self-esteem, poor self-worth with and a need to connect and to be validated were most susceptible.ConclusionsThe internet permits anonymity where trading “real world” skins with digital ones creating avatars in order to seek what is desired. Catfishing raises questions about the nature of the human self and the role it plays in deception. Understanding how patients use the internet may provide insight into how personality acts on a stage of total anonymity.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

IntroductionSocial anxiety disorder (SAD) can accompany emotional symptoms as well as physical reactions. The assessment and real-time measurement of SAD is difficult in real-world.ObjectivesThis study aims to predict the severity of specific anxiety states and virtual reality (VR) sickness in SAD patients by a machine learning model based on only quantitative measuring of autonomic physiologic signals during VR therapy sessions.Methods

In total, 32 individuals with SAD symptoms were enrolled in VR participatory sessions. We assessed patients’ specific anxiety symptoms through Internalized Shame Scale (ISS) and Post-Event Rumination Scale (PERS), and VR sickness through Simulator Sickness Questionnaire (SSQ). Specific anxiety symptoms and VR sickness were divided into severe and non-severe states based on the total score of each scale by K-means clustering. Logistic regression, Random Forest, Naïve Bayes classifier, and Support Vector Machine were used based on the physiological signal data to predict the severity group in subdomains of ISS, PERS, and SSQ.ResultsPrediction performance (F1 score) for the severity of the ISS mistake anxiety subdomain was higher than other scales with 0.8421. For VR sickness, prediction performance for the severity of the physical subdomain was higher than the non-physical subdomain with 0.7692.ConclusionsThe study findings present that mistake anxiety and physical sickness could be predicted more accurately by only autonomic physiological signals, suggesting these features are probably associated with autonomic responses. Based on the present study results, we could provide the evidence for predicting the severity of specific anxiety or VR adverse effects only based on in-situ physiological signals.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

Authors: Grau A. , Evans C. , Medina J.C. , Paz C. 
Published: September 2022

IntroductionClients with Eating Disorders may be treated as inpatients (IP), day hospital (DH) or community patients (Ambu). The ITAMITED study is following to treatment termination (or end of October 2025) all new clients with EDs presenting between November 2017 and October 2020 to eight centres in Spain.ObjectivesTo describe to what extent initial care levels (IP, DH, Ambu) are associated with gender, age, social relationships, ED diagnosis Body Mass Index (BMI) and baseline medication.MethodsThe study is exploratory/descriptive, practice-based evidence (PBE). Consecutive new clients were approached for participation. Inclusion criteria were a diagnosis of an ED and opting in to treatment.ResultsThe only variables not showing a statistically significant relationship with level were gender (no relationship), diagnosis of bulimia and use of prescribed psychostimulant medication (which was rare). OP care was associated with older age which did not discriminate between DH and IP. Similarly, being in a relationship was associated with OP care but didn’t differentiate between DH and OP. Relationships with ED diagnosis other than AN type I were complex but significant. Relationships with AN type I, BMI and being on antipsychotics, antidepressants, anxiolytics, mood stabilisers and a catch-all category of all other medication all showed an ordered relationship IP > DH > Ambu. The most powerful relationships were with BMI and diagnosis of AN type I.Conclusions
Initial level of care is associated with many factors and strongly with many of them. This will complicate the analyses of trajectories of change but reflects the heterogeneity of this client group.Disclosure

Body image dissatisfaction and body regulation practices
Authors: Nikolaev E. 
Published: September 2022

Introduction

Body image dissatisfaction as negative evaluation of personal physical characteristics is often associated with low self-esteem, eating and affective disorders. What body regulation practices can people resort to when they are dissatisfied with their body image?Objectives

The goal is to determine body image practices that help people to reduce tension caused by dissatisfaction with their body image.MethodsWe obtained the data by using a focus group technique. The group comprised 43 healthy undergraduate university students of both genders. Afterwards, the data were subject to analysis and systematization.ResultsThe findings revealed 11 variants that represent the spectrum of body regulation practices, which semantically can form three groups. The first group combines adaptive regulation practices that help people successfully adapt to actual life situation, develop their capabilities concerning their physiology, personality, intellectual interests, and image making. The second group combines compensatory regulation practices that mainly focus on one of the sides of body regulation, which bear a certain threat to their health (weight control, building up muscle bulk, medical cosmetology procedures, body modification). The third group includes non-adaptive body regulation practices associated with high risk to their health and personal wellbeing (auto-aggressive, hetero-aggressive, and psychopathological).ConclusionsInformation about preferable body regulation practices used by people who are dissatisfied with their body image can help predict health hazards and disorders, as well as work out targeted prevention programs.DisclosureNo significant relationships.
Anorexia Nervosa and Gender Dysphoria: A Clinical Case
Authors: Martins J. , Vaz R. , Costa A. , Brás J. , Sousa R. , Abreu J. , Almeida E. , Casanova T. 
Published: September 2022

IntroductionEating disorders (ED) and gender dysphoria (GD) are associated with a change in body perception. Therefore, body dissatisfaction plays a common and central role in these disorders. In GD, body image concerns are related to the features of the biological sex. In ED, body dissatisfaction comes from a distorted perception of weight and body shape and plays an important role in the development and maintenance of the psychopathology.ObjectivesTo present and discuss the clinical case of a patient with a previous diagnosis of GD who presented with a clinical condition suggesting a restrictive anorexia nervosa (AN).MethodsPatient´s clinical files consultation and literature review using Pubmed and the keywords: eating disorders and gender dysphoria.ResultsWe present the case of a 25-year-old patient who was living in a shelter for victims of domestic violence and was admitted for severe restrictive AN. The patient was discharged after 40 days and medicated with sertraline, diazepam and olanzapine, as well as her previous medication (hormonal therapy): cyproterone, finasteride, estradiol, oxybutynin.ConclusionsAlthough studies on this subject are still scarce, there has been some progress and the literature recognizes the coexistence of these conditions. However ED symptoms in patients with GD could have a different meaning: they may represent a dysfunctional coping strategy adopted to block features of the biological sex. Therefore health professionals may take a more holistic approach to body image. Additional studies will be necessary, allowing the establishment of cause-consequence interactions between weight loss and psychopathology related to GD.DisclosureNo significant relationships.
Impact of social media on self-esteem and body image among young adults

Published: September 2022

IntroductionThe extent to which social media contributes to body image dissatisfaction and lower self-esteem is currently under debateObjectivesThis research seeks to study the relationship between the use of Instagram (one of the main platforms used by young people nowadays) and the degree of dissatisfaction with body image and the level of self-esteem among their younger usersMethodsA sample of 585 Spanish adults between 18 and 40 years old was used, to whom the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ), the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale and the Social Comparison of Appearance Scale (PACS) were applied.ResultsA positive correlation was observed between the frequency of use of the social network and dissatisfaction with body image and low self-esteem. In addition, it was found that content observation time significantly predicts body dissatisfaction and low self-esteem. On the other hand, the type of content both published and observed, showed no effect on any of these variables, although it has been found that the relationship between the use of the platform and the study variables seems to be mediated by the tendency of their users to compare their appearance with others.ConclusionsThese results invite us to reflect on the use of social networks and their impact on constructs as relevant to the person as self-esteem and body image and on how different policies should be taken into account to prevent a negative impact on the mental health of their usersDisclosureNo significant relationships.
Hazards of administration of benzodiazepines in patients with adaptive hyperventilation: a case rapport
Authors: Petrykiv S. , Arts M. , De Jonge L. 
Published: September 2022

IntroductionOnly three population-based observational human studies provided evidence that benzodiazepines (BZD) are associated with clinically adverse respiratory outcome. Striking was the finding that BZD drug exposure was associated with a 32% significantly increased adjusted risk of all-cause mortality, including, of note, the subgroup of individuals with no comorbidities. Causation, however, cannot be inferred in observational study design and, highly likely, recipients received BZD’s in these studies to help treating anxiety related to inter alia pre-existing respiratory symptoms.ObjectivesBased on one fatal particular case, authors of current rapport explain what can go wrong when BZD’s are given in patient with respiratory impairment.MethodsAuthors provide a model on how an increase in carbon dioxide can lead to impaired cerebral autoregulation in a person with pre-existing respiratory decompensation. Discussion of integrative metabolic and vascular physiology.ResultsCase rapport of a 18 y.o. otherwise healthy man, who was hospitalized with a novel episode of diabetic ketoacidosis accompanied by profound hypocapnia and anxiety, and who deteriorated and died shortly after airway management because of a clinically important acid-base balance disturbance caused by increased carbon dioxide. All the blood tests and results of respiratory monitoring were collected and carefully assessed.ConclusionsCurrent case suggests that the P(CO(2))--HCO(3) hypothesis is consistent with known data on impaired cerebral autoregulation in diabetic ketoacidosis, driven mainly by increased levels of pCO2. In our opinion, it indicates the recommendation not to administrate BZD’s in patients with pre-existing compensatory hyperventilation as it may counter to the logic of adaptive physiology.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

IntroductionMutism is the inability or unwillingness to speak, resulting in an absence or marked paucity of verbal output. Mutism is a common manifestation of psychiatric, neurological, and drug-related illnesses. Psychiatric disorders associated with mutism include schizophrenia, affective disorders, conversion reactions, dissociative states, and dementias. Neurological disorders causing mutism affect the basal ganglia, frontal lobes, or the limbic system.ObjectivesOutline the importance of setting a differential diagnosis of mutism in the Emergency Room.MethodsReview of scientific literature based on a relevant clinical case.Results
Male, 58 years old. He has lived in a residence for 3 months due to voluntary refusal to ingest. Diagnosed with paranoid personality disorder. He is refered to the Emergency Service due to sudden mutism. During this day, he has been stable and suitable with a good functionality. For 3 hours he is mutist, oppositional attitude and stiff limbs, refusing to obey simple orders. Hyperalert and hyperproxia. Not staring. After ruling out organic pathology: normal blood tests, negative urine toxins and cranial CT without alterations, he was admitted to Psychiatry for observation and, finally, he was diagnosed with Psychotic Disorder NOS.ConclusionsMutism most often occurs in association with other disturbances in behavior, thought processes, affect, or level of consciousness. The most common disorder of behavior occurring with mutism is catatonia. The differential diagnosis of mutism is complex. In some cases the diagnosis will be clarified only by careful observation and after a neurological evaluation. Published studies show neurological disorders presenting with mutism can be misdiagnosed as psychiatric.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

Published: September 2022

IntroductionThe complexity of the feeling of satisfaction makes its measurement complex, in this context our work aims to develop a simple and practical measurement tool to identify problems within the processes of psychiatric care in order to provide corrective interventions.Objectivesto validate the psychometric properties of a scale designed for us to assess patients’ satisfaction with the quality of psychiatric care received.MethodsThis is a validation study conducted on a sample of 200 patients followed at RAZI Hospital in Tunisia, outside any period of hospitalization. The questionnaire consisted of 28 items and was structured around eight dimensions (the patient’s perception of his or her own mental disorder, the quality of the doctor-patient relationship, the quality of the nursing team-patient relationship, the organisational aspect and conditions of the hospital ward, the therapeutic discharge planning, the respect of human rights, and the quality of the patient’s health, The organisational aspect and conditions of the hospital ward, Therapeutic discharge planning, Respect for patients’ human rights, Satisfaction with overall care and Loyalty.ResultsBoth face validity and content validity were satisfactory. Internal consistency was sufficient with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.913. The inter-dimensional correlation reflected statistically significant and logical correlations within our scale. Temporal stability was satisfactory. An exploratory factor analysis revealed seven factors with a Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin score of 0.852.ConclusionsOur scale has demonstrated good psychometric properties. It can be reliably used as a measure of the satisfaction of Tunisian patients with the psychiatric care received.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

Published: September 2022

IntroductionThe Chornobyl catastrophe (ChC) has impacted on depopulation and mental health of the survivors, however, the rate of demographic aging and mental health survey remain at issue.ObjectivesTo determine the rate of demographic aging of ChC survivors and to analyze the state of their mental health survey.MethodsInformation from the Ministry of Health and the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, Clinical and Epidemiological Register, the State Register of ChC survivors, and clinical neuropsychiatric data were analyzed.ResultsIn 2018, compared to 1995, the number of the ChC survivors decreased by 987 thousand with high level of aging: ChC clean-up workers – 59.0%; evacuees – 25.0%, and residents of radioactively contaminated territories (RCT) – 30.7%. There are negative tendencies in age parameters of survival of the RCT population. Long-term mental health disorders and neuropsychiatric effects in the ChC survivors have been identified, which may indicate an accelerated aging. Neurophysiological and molecular-biological atypia of aging processes under an exposure to low doses of and low dose rate of ionizing radiation have been found. Existing statistical and registry data underestimate the level of mental disorders in the population of Ukraine, including the ChC survivors by an order of magnitude.ConclusionsThe negative tendencies in age parameters of survival indicate the need to continue research to identify the factors “responsible” for such changes. Mental health disorders and neuropsychiatric effects in the ChC survivors are underestimated. It is necessary to create a national psychiatric registry of Ukraine and long-term (lifelong) monitoring of survivors.DisclosureNo significant relationships.
I am not autonomous enough! The role of autonomy beliefs in the relation between social stigma and recovery
Authors: Lampropoulos D. , Klaas H. , Spini D. 
Published: September 2022

IntroductionIt has been suggested that liberal values such as lack of autonomy and burden discourses shape the public’s relation toward people with health problems. However, previous research on the role of such values on one’s recovery and well-being is scarce.ObjectivesWe investigated whether perceived autonomy mediates the impact of stigma and negative social experiences on life satisfaction and recovery.Methods
Our sample, drawn from a subsample of the Swiss Household Panel survey, consisted of 326 individuals reporting a mental health problem (50.3% women, Mage = 50.7, SD = 13) and 354 individuals reporting a physical health issue (49.7% women, Mage = 53.6, SD = 14.7). We tested a model where perceived autonomy, measured with four items drawn from the Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS), mediates the impact of experienced stigma and negative social experiences on health satisfaction and self-reported recovery.ResultsOur analysis of direct and indirect paths confirmed our hypothesis. Our model showed a good fit to the data for persons with a mental health problem (CFI = .984; RMSEA = .038) and an adequate fit for persons with a physical health problem (CFI = .92; RMSEA = .080).ConclusionsOur results provide empirical evidence for the potentially self-stigmatizing role of the autonomy ideal for people with health problems and invite for the development of further research and practice regarding this role.DisclosureNo significant relationships.
National Study on Mental Health and Emotional Wellbeing among Young People in Malta: Phase 1
Authors: Sacco R. , Camilleri N. , Newbury Birch D. 
Published: September 2022

IntroductionHalf of all mental disorders (MD) begin by age 14, however, the majority of disorders remain untreated well into adulthood due to inadequate service provision. Prevalence studies of MD among young people (YP) are needed to elucidate the current epidemiology and better service development to prevent and help YP with MD in the Maltese islands. This abstract describes the first phase of a 3-phase national study.Objectives1. To screen for MD among a sample of 5–16-year-olds. 2. To determine the presence or absence of a range of protective and risk factors among YP with and without a MD.MethodsA multi-stage random sample of 800 YP aged 5-16 years were recruited from 39 schools across the Maltese Islands. Participants were screened for MD using the SDQ, SCARED, AQ10, SCOFF and AUDIT, and asked questions on life experiences.Results25.2% of YP were identified as being at risk of suffering from a MD (T1). Only 10% of these were referred to MHS. A greater proportion of YP identified as having a possible MD (compared to those without), were found to have a physical impairment (19%), problematic family dynamics (12%), adverse life events (T2) and parents with a history of health/social problems (T3).ConclusionsThe K-SADS will be conducted on YP identified as having a possible MD to ascertain a categorical diagnosis and establish prevalence rates for MDs as defined by DSM-5 criteria. Recommendations to improve and develop new mental health services to meet the needs for these YP will be disseminated amongst commissioners.DisclosureNo significant relationships.
