IntroductionCovid-19 vaccination in adults become a common behaviour nowadays. It may induce stress in some of the vaccinated patients.ObjectivesThis study aimed to evaluate perceived Stress among university teachers desiring to be vaccinated.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study on Tunisian university teachers who participated in a COVID-19 vaccination campaign organized in June 2021. A self-administered questionnaire was administered. The survey dealt with socio-professional data and the level of stress assessed with the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10).ResultsA total of 100 participants were included. The mean age was 51 years ±7. The Sex Ratio (M/F) was 1.7. The majority of participants were married and reported living with their families (96%). On a 0 to 10 scale, 71% of participants described an excellent health status and rated it greater than or equal to 8. The average job tenure was 15 years. The PSS-10 showed moderate and high perceived stress in 86% and 4% of participants, respectively. Only 10% of university teachers presented low-stress perception.ConclusionsGetting vaccinated against Covid-19 is crucial in order to protect the population. This behaviour could be associated with a big amount of stress. Taking into account the psychiatric mental condition is crucial for the vaccinating health care providers in order to alleviate this experience.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

Published: September 2022

Introduction
Throughout this period we were confronted with news and information about the Corona virus and its consequences. Which led to the development of a huge sense of fear among people. Although fear has helped to maintain restrictions, it has also had a significant impact on mental health, especially among patients with a psychiatric history.Objectives
In this paper I will highlight the consequences of the nocebo effect of the pandemic among people with a psychiatric history.MethodsTo complete this work I used medical articles, studies, and specialized information on the subject.ResultsThe pandemic’s restrictions have made it difficult for psychiatric patients to be compliant treatment by avoiding regular psychiatric exams.Isolation and fear of infection has led to new decompensations in existing psychiatric pathologies.Conclusions
The exacerbations of psychiatric pathology increased both in number and in their intensity, ultimately determined by the increase in the number of hospitalizations in psychiatric emergencies.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

IntroductionLooking at the vast majority of mental disorders in the last year, we noticed that most of them were closely related to this feeling of fear but also to the restrictive measures that appeared with the pandemic. Exposure for a period of more than a year to this mental stress has led to the appearance of a large number of psychiatric patients, especially those who have undergone SARS-CoV-2 infection or who have had close people infected, some of whom have even died.ObjectivesIn this paper I will highlight the post traumatic consequences in patients who have gone through the disease.MethodsTo complete this work I used medical articles, studies, and specialized information on the subject.ResultsPatients who have gone through the disease developed sleeping problems, phobias, various anxiety and delusional disorders.ConclusionsThese conditions create the need for a multidisciplinary approach among this particular category of patients.DisclosureNo significant relationships.
Mental Health Refugees - Difficulties from the country of origin to the receiving country – A review

Published: September 2022

IntroductionThe most recent global refugee figures are staggering, with over 82.4 million people forcibly displaced as a result of persecution, conflict, violence, human rights violations. However, little is known about their long-term mental health.ObjectivesThis review aimed to assess prevalence of mental disorders and to identify the main factors associated with the development of mental disorders among refugees.Methods

We searched MEDLINE databases using the key terms “refugees” and “global mental health” without language or date restriction. Articles were considered for inclusion in the review if they comprised a population of refugees. Three studies were identified.ResultsOur review showed a great heterogeneity in the prevalence of mental disorders that affect migrants showing an overall prevalence of 20% of these pathologies among them. War-related factors are more associated with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and post-migration-related factors (acculturation, economic uncertainty and ethnic discrimination) are more associated with mood, anxiety and substance use disorders.Conclusions
Existing evidence suggests that mental disorders tend to be highly prevalent in refugees many years after resettlement. The increased risk is not only caused by the past adversities in the country of origin but also by the post-migration-related factors. Thus, there is a need for more consistent and rigorous research from a methodological point of view on the mental health of refugees, allowing to find measures to protect and promote their mental health.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

IntroductionImportant role of sociocultural mediation of human health is reflected in the regional specificity of subjective evaluation of factors determining human health.ObjectivesThe research is focused on the opinion of respondents from different regions of Russia about the importance of various factors that determine health and subjective well-being.Methods210 men and 403 women aged 14 to 76 years (M=26.9; SD=13.7) from six regions of the Russia (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Udmurtia, Sakha, Sverdlovsk and Kemerovo) participated in the study. Respondents were asked to rank six factors (genetics, healthy lifestyle, good ecology, regular medical examination, absence of stress, financial well-being) in terms of their impact on health (1 is the most important, 6 is the least important).Results

It was revealed significant differences among respondents from different regions of the Russia in evaluation of importance of health factors such as “genetics” (F=3.317; p=0.003) and “good ecology” (F=5.008; p<0.001). Respondents from the Sverdlovsk consider “genetics” significantly more important than participants from the Sakha (MD=-0.706; p=0.019) and Kemerovo (MD=-0.859; p=0.015). Respondents from St. Petersburg consider the ‘good ecology’ significantly less important than participants from Moscow (MD=0.791; p=0.046), Udmurtia (MD=0.867; p=0.035), Sakha (MD=1.168; p<0.001), and Kemerovo (MD=1.286; p<0.001).ConclusionsRegional specificity was found in the subjective evaluation of the importance of factors that determine health and subjective well-being.

Art-therapy focused on stimulating the emotional and expressive skills of children with special educational needs
Authors: Lorint L. 
Published: September 2022

IntroductionThe link between school education and art therapy is supported by the fact that it comes to supplement the common school education activities of children with special educational requirements with a dual purpose: to complete and fix their specific content; to train and practice as much as possible the students’ minds and critical thinking through artistic means.ObjectivesPrevention of absenteeism and school dropout of the child with special educational requirements through art therapy.MethodsIn art therapy, the most used methods specific to the fields of visual arts are: drawing, painting, icon, modeling on the wheel, but other techniques can be used. Children are the ones who choose their work materials and activities from the offer that the art therapist makes.From the offer of materials, the beneficiary prefers to paint porcelain objects and letters. He was challenged to identify letters after which he painted them.ResultsIncreasing the feeling of social utility, self-confidence. Improving school situation. Reducing school dropout and literacy.The beneficiary has an interest in letters and numbers and their writing. Form words quickly, easily identifying letters. Create your own games by comparing numbers. Make puzzles with letters and numbers.Art education helps the beneficiary to more easily express their emotions, perceptions, desires and way of thinking. Learning numbers and letters becomes a fun activity when using colors.ConclusionsThe child needs education through art, because without it there is an imbalance in the fundamental purpose of man, that of developing harmoniously and multilaterally.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

IntroductionStudies have shown that physicians manifest a clear duty to work. For parents, reconciling work with parenthood is not easy and can even lead to depression.ObjectivesTo determine the prevalence and the factors for depression in Tunisian physician parents.MethodsThis was a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study of 93 Tunisian physician parents, conducted on google drive in March 2021, including a questionnaire containing the parents’ personal and professional data and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).ResultsIn our study, the sex ratio (M/F) was 0.05. The average age was 34.43 years old. Almost three-quarters of doctors (71.3%) were providing on duty services in the hospital while 69% were providing at least one call per month in COVID units. The average BDI score was 6.16. According to the BDI score, 60.9% of participants had depression. The BDI score was correlated with several types of dissatisfaction: dissatisfaction with the relationship with his child (p = 0.002), time devoted to the partner (0.001), time devoted to the child (p = 0.004), child’s educational style (p <0.001), time spent on leisure or personal activities (p <0.001), child’s academic performance (p = 0.001) and child’s behavior (p <0.001). Furthermore, the BDI score was associated with postponing having a child for career reasons (p = 0.038) and thinking that his career is slowed down by parenthood (p <0.001).ConclusionsDepression’s rate among physician parents appears to be significant. It’s associated with a feeling of guilt and dissatisfaction, hence the necessity of an early detection and management.DisclosureNo significant relationships.
The characteristics of bipolar dipression
Authors: Jupe T. , Zenelaj B. 
Published: September 2022

IntroductionThe National Institute of Mental Health describe the main symptoms of bipolar disorder as alternating episodes of high and low mood. Changes in energy levels, sleep patterns, ability to focus, and other features can dramatically impact a person’s behavior, work, relationships, and other aspects of life. Most people experience mood changes at some time, but those related to bipolar disorder are more intense than regular mood changes, and other symptoms can occur. Some people experience psychosis, which can include delusions, hallucinations, and paranoia.ObjectivesThrough this research we aimed to identify all the special features of bipolar depression which will help the clinical psychiatrists in easier diagnosis and management of the disorder.MethodsLiterature review (PubMed)ResultsClinical Characteristics in Favour of Bipolarity in Depression: psychomotor retardation, history of psychotic depression,history of psychotic depression shortly after giving childbirth, frequent catatonic symptoms, atypical depressive features, severe impairment in interpersonal relationships, inconsistency in business life, history of hypomania, mania or mixed episode,common feeling of numbness and anhedonia; less common sadness and feelings of guilt, mood instability, volatility in temperament, frequent change in affect, daydreaming during the episode and daily life, short duration of depression <3 months, poor cognitive functions during depressive episode, generally similar symptom severity during the day and night etc.ConclusionsThis leads to misdiagnosis of bipolar depression as unipolar depression, which in turn leads to delayed correct diagnosis and treatment and may severely affect the patient’s entire life.DisclosureNo significant relationships.
Mood disorders as a risk factor for family aggregation of somatic diseases
Authors: Kasyanov E. , Mazo G. 
Published: September 2022

IntroductionMood disorders (MDs) are associated with somatic diseases and tend to aggregate in families. But there are limited studies on the risk of somatic diseases for relatives of patients with MDs.ObjectivesTo assess whether a patient’s mood disorder diagnosis is associated with a family history of somatic disorders.MethodsThis cross-sectional family study included 36 patients with MDs (66.7% women; age - 32 [11.2] years) and 68 of their relatives, and 23 healthy individuals (56,5% women; age - 30.5 [6.9] years) and 53 of their relatives. A Pearson’s χ2 test was used to compare the frequencies of family history of somatic disease. Logistic regression models were used to determine the independent association of MDs, after adjusting for the effects of sex, age, with binary characteristics.ResultsIndividuals with and without MDs had different frequencies of family history of cardiovascular (66,7% vs. 43,4%; p=0,03) and endocrinological diseases (47,2% vs. 39,1%; p=0,04). There were no statistically significant differences in the frequency of family history of gastrointestinal, pulmonary, urogenital and musculoskeletal diseases (p>0,05). Logistic regression revealed that MDs diagnosis in patients was a risk factor for cardiovascular (p=0.03, OR=3.5) and endocrinological disease (p=0.04, OR=3.7) in their relatives.ConclusionsMDs are associated with the aggregation of somatic diseases in families. Future research is needed to clarify the biological reasons for this association.DisclosureNo significant relationships.
Associations between implicit and explicit affective inhibitory control, trait rumination and depressive symptoms

Published: September 2022

IntroductionInhibitory control is the executive function component which underlies one’s ability to maintain goal-directed behavior by inhibiting prepotent responses or ignoring irrelevant information. Recent models suggest that impaired inhibition of negative information may contribute to depressive symptoms, and that this association is mediated by rumination. However, the exact nature of this association, particularly in non-clinical samples, is unclear.ObjectivesThe goal of the current study was to assess the relationship between inhibitory control over emotional vs. non-emotional information, rumination and depressive symptoms.MethodsA non-clinical sample of 119 participants (mean age: 36.44 ± 11.74) with various levels of depressive symptoms completed three variations of a Go/No-Go task online; two of the task variations required either explicit or implicit processing of emotional expressions, and a third variation contained no emotional expressions (i.e., neutral condition).Results

We found that for participants who reported elevated depressive symptoms, their inhibitory control ability was reduced for all three task variations, relative to less depressed participants. However, for the task variation that required implicit emotion processing (rather than explicit), depressive symptoms were associated with inhibitory deficits for sad and neutral, but not for happy facial expressions. An exploratory analysis showed that the relationship between inhibition and depressive symptoms occurs in part through trait rumination for all three tasks, regardless of emotional content.Conclusions

Collectively, these results indicate that elevated depressive symptoms are associated with both a general inhibitory control deficit, as well as affective interference from negative emotions, with implications for the assessment and treatment of mood disorders.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

IntroductionAcute measles encephalitis is a pathology of the central nervous system. It is most frequent in children but can also be described in adults. Given the rarity of this pathology, we present the case of this patient.ObjectivesTo assess perfectionism and depression and to study the relationship between these two parameters in a population of medical students.MethodsWe conducted a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study among students of the Faculty of Medicine of Sfax during the months of June, July, and August 2020. The data were collected through a self-questionnaire disseminated on the social network “Facebook”.This questionnaire included identification of socio-demographic characteristics as well as the personal history of students. Perfectionism was assessed by the Rheaume scale and depression by the Beck scale.Results
A total of 206 students participated in the survey. The mean age was 21.49 ± 1.37 years. The majority of students were female (57.2%) with a sex ratio (F/H) of 1.34. Of the participants, 39.8% were enrolled as undergraduates and 60.19% as graduate students. According to their scores on the Rheaume scale, the students were non-perfectionists (NP) in 21.4% of cases; moderately perfectionists (MP) in 70.38% of cases, and highly perfectionists (HP) in 8.25% of cases. Severe depression was objectified in 7.3% of the cases. Students living alone were less perfectionist (p=0.01). Perfectionism score was higher in depressed students (35 ± 6.34) versus (31.428 ± 6.37) with a statistically significant correlation ( p ≤ 0.001).Conclusions
It is true that perfectionism is an essential element for academic success. However, screening and prevention of depression are deemed necessary given its significant association with perfectionism.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

Authors: Yaniv H. , Savlev V. 
Published: September 2022

Introduction
There are some patients that remain resistant to treatment for major depressive disorder - who were treated with two or more different medications, and did not demonstrate any improvement in their mental-state. These patients can be treated with a new treatment – Esketamine. The recommended Esketamine treatment protocol includes 8-treatment sessions, each session lasts about two hours. In our clinic, we added a therapy group after each treatment. The therapy group is led by two co-therapist and lasts 30 minutes. The patients are invited to share their experiences from the session.ObjectivesWe will present a case report of a 44 year old man, that suffers from a major-depression for years, with symptoms such as loss of energy, recurrent thoughts of death and a decrease in functioning. He was treated with different medications, but there was no improvement in his mental state.MethodsFor the last six months, he was treated with Esketamine and also participated in the therapy group.ResultsAccording to content that he raised in the sessions of the therapy group and following conversations with him and with his close environment, we observed a clinical improvement in his condition – a positive mood, a decrease of the thoughts of death, an increase in his function at work and at home.ConclusionsHe reported that the improvement is more significant because of the therapy group – he found a peer group, a place to process his treatment experience and to share his feelings and thoughts. We will present vignettes to demonstrate.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

Published: September 2022

IntroductionPsychiatric emergencies in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) are characterised by multiple types of symptoms including risk of self-harm and suicidal ideation. S-ketamine intranasally (Spravato) has recently been shown to help alleviate symptoms during depressive emergencies. In this case-series, we detail the clinical effects and usability of S-ketamine applied intranasally in a psychiatric emergency setting.ObjectivesTo describe the effects of S-Ketamine on depressive crises associated with suicidality and self-harm in a psychiatric emergency setting.MethodsPatients with MDD in a psychiatric emergency were provided with intranasal S-Ketamine according to clinical indication in routine clinical care in a University inpatient setting. Clinical characteristics were assessed in a standardised manner and symptom measures were applied pre-and posttreatment. Experience with 10 patients is systematically described in this case-series.ResultsPatients had a primary diagnosis of MDD accompanied by a variety of secondary psychiatric comorbidity. Among these 10 patients, the majority were female (70 %) and the mean age was 49.5 yrs (range 26-66). All cases were considered treatment resistant and suffered severe acute suicidal ideation. Across all cases, pre-treatment MADRS was 37 on average (range 20-47) indicating a severe form of MDD. High severity was confirmed in elevated BDI scores (pre-treatment 39). Post-treatment, MADRS scores were reduced to 18 on average, alongside BDI scores (mean 24). S-ketamine administration was well-tolerated and side effects such as dissociation were of short-lived duration.ConclusionsS-Ketamine intranasally can be safely and effectively administered in an acute psychiatric setting to treat psychiatric emergencies.Disclosure
