Authors: Shilko R. , Egorov S. , Zinchenko Y. , Emelin V. 
Published: September 2022

IntroductionThere has been obvious in university education the importance of mental health and psychological well-being of students along with academic achievements (Lambert et al., 2019). M. Seligman, one of the founders of positive psychology, characterizes positive education as education aimed at acquiring happiness along with knowledge and skills (Seligman et al., 2009).ObjectivesThe current study aims to overview the positive education impact on mental health and psychological well-being.MethodsSystematic analysis of research publications concerning positive education and its role for maintenance of mental health and psychological well-being.Results
While university administration collects student’s feedback on various aspects of the educational process, it almost never asks students for their opinion on what can be done for their psychological well-being. The promotion of psychological well-being among young people is becoming an increasingly popular topic, and positive education is increasingly emerging within education. Positive education can be seen as a general sphere of positive psychology and advanced practice in education that aims the development of students for both academic achievement and psychological well-being. Special attention in positive education is paid to the use of empirically proven methods and programs aimed at improving well-being, engagement in educational activities, optimism, positive emotions, life satisfaction and other positive experience.Conclusions
A particularly promising direction for the development of positive education can be the use of information and communication technologies to improve mental health and psychological well-being.

Published: September 2022

IntroductionAs mental health and emotional wellbeing while serving a sentences contribute a lot to the successful resocialization of juvenile convicts, it is necessary to study the factors that influence them.ObjectivesTo consider the relationship between the subjective frequency of social support from various sources and indicators of mental health and well-being of juvenile convicts.MethodsThe study used DASS (Lovibond, Lovibond, 1995), WEMWBS (Tennant et al., 2007), PANAS (Watson, Clark, Tellegen, 1988), SPANE (Diener et al., 2010), and a question to measure the subjective frequency of seeking for support from different sources (parents, close relatives, friends, mentors, psychologists, other convicts etc.), as measured on a 4-point scale from 1 (never) to 4 (constantly). 657 juvenile convicts aged 15 to 18 (M=17.0; SD=0.8) took part in the study.ResultsRegression models (R>0.5) were obtained by means of regression analysis (frequencies of seeking for support from different sources were taken as independent variables). The declared frequency of seeking for support from mentors served as a predictor of psychological well-being (Beta 0.148, t=2.271; p=0.024), the level of depression (Beta=-0.193, t=-2.917; p=0.004), anxiety (Beta=-0.157, t=-2.365; p=0.018) and stress (Beta=-0.142, t=-2.136; p=0.033), as well as of negative experience (Beta=-0.202, t=-3.025; p=0.003). The declared frequency of seeking suppotr from psychologists predicted the level of positive experience (Beta=0.128, t=2.052; p=0.041) and of positive affects (Beta=0.145, t=2.259; p=0.024).ConclusionsMental health, well-being and emotional state of juvenile convicts are directly related to the perception of the frequency of seeking support from the employees of the correctional camps (mentors and psychologists).DisclosureNo significant relationships.

Published: September 2022

IntroductionMental illness is the single largest cause of disability in the UK, with one in four individuals suffering from a mental health problem. Despite this, only 13% of the NHS budget goes towards treatment of mental illness. It is thus unsurprising that addressing the parity of esteem of mental health has been highlighted as a major priority for the healthcare system, with the NHS Five Year Forward plan aiming to achieve this by 2020.ObjectivesTo explore the barriers to achieving parity of esteem of mental healthcare in the UK and develop recommendations for implementation.MethodsNarrative review of literature and synthesis of findingsResults
Three key barriers to achieving parity of esteem of mental health were identified: the current mental health investment standard (MHIS), medical sub-specialisation, and access to acute day units (ADU). The following recommendations were thus synthesised: to increase the time-period to measure MHIS increments, integrating mental health teaching into specialty training programmes, and increasing the availbility of ADUs to crisis referral teams.ConclusionsAddressing the disparity between mental and physical health is a major priority for the NHS. This research provides an overview of current barriers and suggests recommendations for improvement. By prioritizing improvement in the MHIS, integrating mental health teaching into specialty training, and increasing access to ADUs, the NHS formulates an excellent founding to achieving the ultimate goal, parity of esteem of mental health.DisclosureNo significant relationships.
Early childhood low parental income and the risk of mental disorder in adolescence and early adulthood. A register study of migrants and non-migrants
Authors: Hynek K. , Straiton M. 
Published: September 2022

Introduction

Low parental income during childhood is associated with increased risk of mental disorders at later ages. However, despite a disproportionate share of migrant children growing up in persistent poverty, as compared to their majority counterparts, the research on whether the association varies by migrant background is limited.ObjectivesIs there an association between parental income during early childhood and the risk of mental disorder, defined by use of outpatient mental healthcare services (OPMH), in adolescence and early adulthood? Does the strength of the association vary by migrant background?MethodsInformation from five national registers were combined to study a population of 577,072 individuals. We applied discrete-time logistic regression, with an interaction term between parental income and migrant background to study differences in the association by migrant background.ResultsLow parental income during early childhood was associated with twice the odds of OPMH use in adolescence and early adulthood compared to individuals with higher parental income. Even after adjusting for a range of covariates the association remained significant, yet, weaker. The association was, however, in the opposite direction for migrants. Those in the higher income group had higher probability of OPMH use. The relative differences within groups were small, but significant for migrants from Middle East and North Africa, South Asia and Western countries.ConclusionsSocial inequalities in mental health may have an onset already in childhood, Therefore, future interventions should focus on reducing social inequalities in childhood in order to improve the mental health in young people.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

Published: September 2022

Introduction

Currently, there is scientific evidence supporting the relationship between socio-environmental factors and the onset of a first episode of psychosis (FEP). In this context, the phenomenon of migration, seen as a negative life experience, may become an important risk factor in developing a psychotic disorder (PD). In Europe, the impact of this phenomenon is growing and, therefore, it’s necessary to provide a proper answer to these individual’s mental health problems.ObjectivesIdentify which phases of this migration process are most important in the development of a FEP and what are the more significant socio-environmental factors in each phase.MethodsBibliographic research in Pubmed database using the terms “Migration” and “First Episode Psychosis”.Results
Research confirms that migrants have a 2 to 3-fold increased risk of developing a PD. This risk will be even higher in the refugee population. Pre- and post-migration factors demonstrated to be more important than factors related with the migration process itself. In the pre-migration phase highlight factors like the lower parental social class and a previous trauma. In the post-migration phase highlight factors like discrimination, social disadvantage and a mismatch between expectations and reality.Conclusions
Literature is unanimous in considering migrant status as an independent risk factor for the development of FEP, possibly due to the outsider’s role in society. Thus, despite the growing interest in Biological Psychiatry, this work demonstrates that socio-environmental factors are very preponderant in the development of these disorders and because of that further investigation is still necessary.DisclosureNo significant relationships.
Equality in healthcare: transcultural psychiatry
Authors: Alvarez Garcia C. , Gomez Martín A. 
Published: September 2022

IntroductionMigratory flows are increasing more and more, especially regarding the refugee crisis during the last years. There are around 86,7 million migrants in Europe. Migrants share similar experiences that may affect their physical and mental health, such as loss of a social network, lack of economical support or high levels of stress and discrimination.ObjectivesTo analyze the obstacles that migrants must face to obtain a mental health assistance and the importance of an intercultural approach.Methods
A narrative review of the existing literature on the subject.ResultsAlthough there exists evidence that shows that migrants tend to have more health needs, they usually seek less medical advice and receive a poor-quality attention, fulfilling the inverse-care law. This is due to several reasons. Many migrants are excluded of the health care system due to bureaucratic impediments. Also, the language has a determining role, since a higher quality of communication could lead to a better understanding of the symptoms, reducing the risk of erroneous evaluations. Besides, different background and culture between the patient and the doctor can result in lack of communication, mistrust, mistreatment, poor adherence, and worse prognosis.ConclusionsDespite the exponential growth of migration in the last decade and the continue progression, migrants still face many barriers to receive healthcare. It is necessary to do more research on the mental health of migrants and ethnic minorities to ensure quality care to different cultures.DisclosureNo significant relationships.
Cultural syndromes in the era of globalization
Authors: Molina Liétor M.D.C. , Cuevas Iñiguez I. 
Published: September 2022

IntroductionCultural syndromes are pathologies that cannot be understood outside the cultural or subcultural context of the person who suffers from it, since both their etiology and symptoms are symbolized by the patient and by the environment in fields of significance inherent to their culture. The globalization process in which we are involved affects the presentation, understanding, diagnosis and treatment of cultural syndromes as they were traditionally understood.ObjectivesThe objective of this work is to review the current state of cultural syndromes, the evolution of incidence and prevalence in recent years, as well as whether the globalization process has affected their understanding.MethodsA bibliographic review has been carried out on cultural syndromes and case reports in both endemic and foreign populations. Likewise, a reflection is made on the possible evolution of these syndromes.ResultsGlobalization has been understood as a natural process of integration of nations and their cultures, incorporating the diversity and specificity of the other without forgetting their own and traditional characteristics. Within the globalization process, positive advances in the health area are recognized, specifically in the fields of communication and biotechnology. However, the negative impact of globalization on the daily life and health of people worldwide is undeniable. Those that are economically most disadvantaged are particularly affected. The cases of cultural syndromes in distant countries, the misunderstanding of the symptoms as well as the difficulties of integration of migrant patients with mental suffering must be the object of debate and study.ConclusionsGlobalization affects the care and understanding of mental healthDisclosureNo significant relationships.

IntroductionDepression is the most common comorbidity of migraine. The brain of migraineurs with depression shows differences compared to migraine only or depression only patients. The comorbidity may affect specific regions such as the periaqueductal gray matter (PAG) which is important in negative emotion regulation and pain modulatory system.ObjectivesWe hypothesized that the alterations in PAG functional connectivity (FC) may play a role in migraineurs vulnerability for depression.MethodsA resting-state fMRI was conducted with 34 episodic migraine without aura patients and 41 control subjects. All participants were medication free and they did not have any psychiatric or chronic disorders. Depressive symptoms were measured with Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale. To investigate the relationship between depressive symptoms and PAG functional connectivity, Zung scores were used as covariates in each groups’ PAG-FC analysis using the Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM12) toolbox in MATLAB environment.Results
There were no significant difference between migraine and control group in Zung scores (p=0.394). Negative correlation was found between Zung scores and PAG-FC with thalamus, fusiform gyrus, middle occipital gyrus and calcarine (pFWE<0.05) in migraine group. However, there was no significant correlation between Zung scores and PAG-FC in healthy control group.ConclusionsOur results suggest that PAG-FC with emotion and pain processing areas is affected by depressive symptoms in migraine patients, but not in healthy controls. Migraine patients without comorbid depression might have vulnerable neuronal pathways for depressive symptoms. A follow-up of these patients could be interesting to determine whether these connectivity alterations predict the possible comorbid depression.DisclosureHungarian Brain Research Program (2017-1.2.1-NKP-2017-00002, KTIA_13_NAPA-II/14, KTIA_NAP_13-1-2013- 0001, KTIA_NAP_13-2- 2015-0001); 2020-4.1.1.-TKP2020; ERA PerMed (2019-2.1.7-ERA-NET-2020-00005); ÚNKP-21-4-I-SE-15 (DB).
Frontal lobe tumor misdiagnose. A case report

Published: September 2022

IntroductionSpace occupying lesions compromising frontal lobes usually may produce in the first place psychiatric symptoms such as progressive change of personality and/or symptoms suggestive of depressive episodes. Thus they can be misdiagnosed and mistreated.ObjectivesA case report is presented as well as an updated review of frontal lobe tumor diagnosis and treatment literature.MethodsWe present the case of a 45 years-old male patient with no relevant medical history who arrives at the mental health center due to behavioral disorders, depressive mood, workplace absenteeism and personal hygiene neglect in the last 3 months.ResultsSince the clinical picture was compatible with depressive disorder the patient was treated with psychotherapy and antidepressant drugs with no remission. Due to the treatment absence of response he attends emergency services where he is performed a craneal tomograpy (CT) where a right frontal lobe tumor (FLT) is observed.ConclusionsIn early stages FLT are sometimes presented as psychological mood or anxiety disorders without accompanying neurologic deficits. Thus, mental health professionals should be aware that psychological symptoms might be a presentation of organic disease of the brain and in some cases (e.g. middle-aged patients with affective symptoms with no previous mental health history) organic screening and hence brain imaging should be considered.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

IntroductionRecent studies mostly focus on the links between measures of alpha-band EEG networks and intelligence. However, associations between wide frequency range EEG networks and general intelligence level remain underresearched.ObjectivesIn this study in a student sample we aimed to correlate the intelligence level and graph metrics of the sensors/sources-level networks constructed in different frequency EEG bands.MethodsWe recorded eyes-closed resting-state EEG in 28 healthy participants (21.4±2.1 y.o., 18 females, 1 left-handed). The Raven’s Standard Progressive Matrices Plus (‘SPM Plus’, 60 figures) was used as an intelligence measure. We constructed networks for all possible combinations of sensors/sources-level and 4-8, 8-13, 13-30, or 4-30 Hz frequency bands using Weighted Phase-Lag Index (wPLI), and calculated four graph metrics (Characteristic Path Length, Clustering Coefficient, Modularity, and Small World Index) for each network. Spearman correlation (with Holm-Sidak correction) was applied to characterize the relations between the SPM Plus scores and all the network metrics.ResultsSPM Plus scores varied from 35 to 57 (mean 45.3±4.2), and the intelligence level negatively correlated with Modularity in beta-band (r = -0.63, pcorr = 0.0253).ConclusionsHigh modularity may reflect relatively high segregation, but not integration, of networks (Girn, Mills, Christoff, 2019). Accordingly, our findings may shed light on the neural mechanisms of the general inefficiency of global cognitive processing in the case of intellectual decline related to different mental disorders.

Published: September 2022

Introduction
Previous neuroimaging studies of individuals with nonsyndromic oral clefts have revealed subtle brain structural differences compared to matched controls. Additional studies strongly suggest that the higher incidence of neuropsychiatric issues observed in these individuals may be explained by these neuroanatomical differences. Currently there are no studies that have assessed the overall empirical evidence of the effect of oral clefts on the brain.Objectives

Our aim was to summarize available evidence on potential brain structure differences in individuals with nonsyndromic oral clefts and their matched controls. In the current presentation, we discuss the results of regional brain structural differences.Methods

Five databases were systematically searched in September 2020 for case-control studies that reported neuroimaging in healthy individuals and individuals with nonsyndromic oral clefts. Duplicate study selection, data extraction, random effects meta-analyses of mean differences (MDs) and their 95% confidence intervals were performed in order to compare regional brain MRI volumes.Results

We have identified 245 records following the database searches, from which 12 records met the inclusion criteria. Quantitative data on brain structure were available in three studies.The cerebellum, occipital and temporal lobes were significantly smaller in the cleft group compared to controls (MD: -12.46, 95% CI: -18.26, -6.67, n=3 studies; MD:-7.39, 95% CI: -12.80, -1.99, n=2 studies; MD: -10.53, 95% CI: -18.23, -2.82, n=2 studies, respectively).ConclusionsThere may be structural brain differences between individuals with nonsyndromic oral clefts and their controls based on the available evidence.DisclosureNo significant relationships.
Image testing in psychiatrics: a bibliografic review
Authors: Molina Liétor M.D.C. , Cuevas Iñiguez I. , Sanz Giancola A. , Alvarez Garcia C. 
Published: September 2022

IntroductionPsychoradiology is a term that describes a growing interest in relating psychiatry and radiological images, proposing a radiological approach in the management of major psychiatric illnesses. This includes the diagnosis, the planning of the treatment and the study of the clinical course.ObjectivesThe objective of this communication is to review the current status of the importance and indications of neuroimaging tests in psychiatry.MethodsA literature review has been carried out to review this issue.Results

In schizophrenia, longitudinal studies have been carried out that compare the anatomical structures between a first psychotic episode and in a chronic state, locating regional changes that progress as the disease does. Anatomical alterations have also been detected among patients with a predominance of positive symptoms or negative symptoms. Although more and more studies demonstrate a certain common genetic and radiological basis between bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, imaging techniques can also show specific findings that differentiate one pathology from the other. The neuroimaging tests used in psychiatry are: • Brain CT, recommended when a first psychotic episode is suspected. • MRI: recommended in processes of cognitive deterioration, to evaluate white matter and for pregnant patients. It is also recommended to evaluate injuries that could have a poor prognosis with the application of electroconvulsive therapy. • Functional tests (PET and SPECT) are often used to screen some types of dementia such as Alzheimer’s or for research.ConclusionsNew advances and knowledge in psychiatry and radiology must be integrated for better clinical practice.DisclosureNo significant relationships.
