Abstract
BACKGROUND To decrease the incidence of major depressive episodes, indicated prevention that targets clinical high-risk individuals with first detectable signs that forecast mental disorder is a highly relevant topic of preventive psychiatry. Still little is known about the prodrome of MDE. The aim of the current study was to identify the occurrence of a clinical high-risk state of depression, its duration and symptom constellation. METHODS Seventy-three patients with a diagnosed affective disorder in partial remission were assessed with our newly developed semi-structured extensive clinical instrument, the DEpression Early Prediction-INventory (DEEP-IN). Within DEEP-IN the course of prodromal symptoms was explored by using a life-chart method. RESULTS The significant majority of patients (93.2 %) reported a prodromal phase. The mean duration was 7.9 months (SD = 12.5). Within the group with an identified prodromal phase, psychopathological (95.6 %) as well as somatic symptoms (88.2 %) were reported. Somatic symptoms showed a moderate-to-strong effect of sex with higher prevalence in females than in males (97.6 % vs 73.1 %; V = 0.370). LIMITATIONS This feasibility study had only a small sample size. CONCLUSIONS The majority of patients with affective disorders reported a clinical prodromal phase with both psychopathological and somatic symptoms that developed months before the onset of the depressive episode. The development of structured instruments for the assessment of depressive risk states is a promising approach for indicated prevention of depression in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A large body of evidence has tested the effect of exercise interventions on mental health and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in individuals with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of exercise interventions on mental health and HRQoL in PwMS. METHODS We searched four databases up to April 2023, and included randomized controlled trials that: 1) involved PwMS ≥18 years old; 2) delivered an exercise intervention; 3) measured subjective well-being, psychological well-being, social well-being, or HRQoL as outcomes. We reported standardized differences in means (d) with a 95 % confidence interval (CI), for continuous outcomes and an incidence rate ratio (IRR) with a 95 % CI for dichotomous outcomes. RESULTS Forty-nine studies (n = 2,057 participants) were included. Exercise improved overall well-being (d = 0.78; 95 % CI 0.483, 1.077; moderate certainty evidence), subjective well-being (d = 0.666; 95 % CI 0.405, 0.928; moderate certainty evidence), social well-being (d = 1.046; 95 % CI 0.569, 1.523; low certainty evidence), and HRQoL (d = 0.568; 95 % CI 0.396, 0.74; moderate certainty evidence). CONCLUSION Exercise interventions can improve well-being and HRQoL in PwMS. Future studies should focus on PwMS ≥ 65 years or with higher level of impairments.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Existing research has established a correlation between post-traumatic mental health conditions, including anxiety and depression, and various aspects of recovery, such as pain exacerbations, reduced functional recovery, and lowered patient satisfaction. However, the influence of pre-existing mental health conditions on orthopaedic trauma outcomes has not been thoroughly investigated. The objective of this study was to systematically review literature addressing the association between pre-existing mental health conditions and patient outcomes following surgical interventions for lower extremity fractures in non-geriatric populations. METHODS A systematic literature review was conducted using Medline, Embase, and Scopus databases following PRISMA-ScR guidelines to select studies that examined lower extremity orthopaedic trauma outcomes in relation to pre-existing mental health conditions. Studies that evaluated patients with surgically treated lower extremity fractures and a history of mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, or mood disorders were included. Studies with a mean patient age above 65 years of age were excluded to focus on non-geriatric injury patterns. RESULTS The systematic review identified 12 studies investigating the relationship between surgical outcomes of orthopaedic lower extremity fractures and pre-existing mental health disorders in non-geriatric populations. Studies included patients with pelvis, femur, tibia, and ankle fractures. A majority (83%) of these studies demonstrated that patients with pre-existing mental health diagnoses had inferior functional outcomes, heightened pain levels, or an increase in postoperative complications. DISCUSSION The presence of pre-existing mental health conditions, particularly anxiety and depression, may predispose orthopaedic trauma patients to an elevated risk of suboptimal functional outcomes, increased pain, or complications after surgical intervention for lower extremity fractures. Future research should focus on interventions that mitigate the impact of mental health conditions on orthopaedic outcomes and patient wellness in this population.

Abstract
Psychological factors and psychosocial care for individuals with diabetic neuropathy (DN), a common and burdensome complication of diabetes, are important but overlooked areas. In this article we focus on common clinical manifestations of DN, unremitting neuropathic pain, postural instability, and foot complications, and their psychosocial impact, including depression, anxiety, poor sleep quality, and specific problems such as fear of falling and fear of amputation. We also summarize the evidence regarding the negative impact of psychological factors such as depression on DN, self-care tasks, and future health outcomes. The clinical problem of underdetection and undertreatment of psychological problems is described, together with the value of using brief assessments of these in clinical care. We conclude by discussing trial evidence regarding the effectiveness of current pharmacological and nonpharmacological approaches and also future directions for developing and testing new psychological treatments for DN and its clinical manifestations.

BMC Health Serv Res 2023; 23:1450.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antipsychotic drugs are prescription-only-medications which require valid prescriptions before it can be obtained from a pharmacy. On the other hand, community pharmacists in developing countries have sometimes been implicated in over-the-counter dispensing of prescription-only-medications. OBJECTIVE This study investigated the accessibility of antipsychotic drugs without prescriptions from community pharmacies, and the factors responsible for the over-the-counter dispensing of antipsychotics by community pharmacists. METHODS An exploratory cross-sectional mixed method survey design using pretested structured questionnaires among 119 community pharmacists, simulated patients in 119 community pharmacies, and one-on-one in-depth interview among eleven (11) community pharmacist-owners/superintendent pharmacists were utilized for data collection. The knowledge of the pharmacists on antipsychotics including classification, side effects, and dispensing practices were explored. Qualitative data was analyzed with thematic analysis, while quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. RESULTS Majority of the community pharmacists (87.4%) showed good knowledge of antipsychotics as it relates to the different classes and the side effects peculiar to each class. Antipsychotic medications were dispensed by 85 (71.4%) of community pharmacists without a prescription. One-on-one in-depth interview sessions with community pharmacist owners/superintendent pharmacists demonstrated that community pharmacists are knowledgeable about antipsychotics and their side effects. Reasons given for dispensing this class of drugs without prescription included emergencies, and knowledge of the person as being on the drugs long-term. About 4% pharmacists were adamant on dispensing only with prescription. CONCLUSION Community pharmacists in Ibadan metropolis readily dispense antipsychotics without valid prescriptions despite having an optimal knowledge about the negative implications of doing so. This could be due to weak legislation and regulation of drug laws. There is a need for more stringent regulations as well as adequate sensitization about the negative effects of inappropriate dispensing of prescription-only-medications.

Voluntary wheel running from early adolescence reduces disease progression, and anxiety- and depression-related symptoms in an adult male mouse model of rheumatoid arthritis. J Neuroimmunol 2023; 385:578247.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a multifactorial autoimmune disease that progressively destroys synovial joints and leads to chronic systemic inflammation. This autoimmune disorder is associated with increased anxiety- and depression-related symptoms, which reduces quality of life. Clinical and experimental evidence suggests that higher physical activity from early adolescence may prevent chronic diseases and reduce the risk of mental health problems in adulthood. This study aimed to assess whether voluntary wheel running from early adolescence can decrease clinical symptoms, anxiety- and depression-related behaviors in adult mice with rheumatoid arthritis. Adolescent male mice were exposed to voluntary wheel running until adulthood and got collagen-induced arthritis. We measured body weight, the thickness of the hind paw and knee joint (clinical signs), anxiety- and depression-related behaviors, serum testosterone, and cytokines (IFN-γ IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-10). The findings showed that collagen-induced arthritis resulted in anxious-like behavior, increased anhedonia, elevated IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, and IFN-γ, and decreased testosterone levels in the serum of mice. However, no change was observed in behavioral despair. We found that higher physical activity from early adolescence significantly reduced the severity of clinical signs, anxiety- and anhedonia-like behaviors, and decreased behavioral despair in RA-induced mice. In addition, the running wheel exposure normalized RA-induced abnormalities in testosterone and inflammatory cytokines in mice. Altogether, this study suggests that higher physical activity from early adolescence may make mice less vulnerable or resistant to RA-induced clinical symptoms and anxiety- and depression-related behaviors by changing testosterone and inflammatory cytokines productions in adulthood.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Understanding language features of depression contributes to the detection of the disorder. Considering that depression is characterized by dysfunctions in emotion and individuals with depression often show emotion-dependent cognition, the present study investigated the speech features and word use of emotion-dependent narrations in patients with depression. METHODS Forty depression patients and forty controls were required to narrate self-relevant memories under five basic human emotions (i.e., sad, angry, fearful, neutral, and happy). Recorded speech and transcribed texts were analyzed. RESULTS Patients with depression, as compared to non-depressed individuals, talked slower and less. They also performed differently in using negative emotion, work, family, sex, biology, health, and assent words regardless of emotion manipulation. Moreover, the use of words such as first person singular pronoun, past tense, causation, achievement, family, death, psychology, impersonal pronoun, quantifier and preposition words displayed emotion-dependent differences between groups. With the involvement of emotion, linguistic indicators associated with depressive symptoms were identified and explained 71.6% variances of depression severity. LIMITATIONS Word use was analyzed based on the dictionary which does not cover all the words spoken in the memory task, resulting in text data loss. Besides, a relatively small number of depression patients were included in the present study and therefore the results need confirmation in future research using big emotion-dependent data of speech and texts. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that consideration of different emotional contexts is an effective means to improve the accuracy of depression detection via the analysis of word use and speech features.

Abstract
With the need for psychological help long exceeding the supply, finding ways of scaling, and better allocating mental health support is a necessity. This paper contributes by investigating how to best predict intervention dropout and failure to allow for a need-based adaptation of treatment. We systematically compare the predictive power of different text representation methods (metadata, TF-IDF, sentiment and topic analysis, and word embeddings) in combination with supplementary numerical inputs (socio-demographic, evaluation, and closed-question data). Additionally, we address the research gap of which ML model types - ranging from linear to sophisticated deep learning models - are best suited for different features and outcome variables. To this end, we analyze nearly 16.000 open-text answers from 849 German-speaking users in a Digital Mental Health Intervention (DMHI) for stress. Our research proves that - contrary to previous findings - there is great promise in using neural network approaches on DMHI text data. We propose a task-specific LSTM-based model architecture to tackle the challenge of long input sequences and thereby demonstrate the potential of word embeddings (AUC scores of up to 0.7) for predictions in DMHIs. Despite the relatively small data set, sequential deep learning models, on average, outperform simpler features such as metadata and bag-of-words approaches when predicting dropout. The conclusion is that user-generated text of the first two sessions carries predictive power regarding patients' dropout and intervention failure risk. Furthermore, the match between the sophistication of features and models needs to be closely considered to optimize results, and additional non-text features increase prediction results.

Abstract
Gestational diabetes and the maternal mental disorders of anxiety and depression have been implicated in adverse offspring neuro-behavioural outcomes but these exposures have only been studied in isolation. 1051 children whose mothers were diagnosed with gestational diabetes in UK's Born in Bradford cohort had linkage to maternal primary care records, providing diagnostic and treatment codes for depression and anxiety. Education record linkage provided results of the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile from the first year of school, aged five. Risk of not attaining a 'Good level of development' was analysed using multivariable Poisson regression within a generalised estimating equation framework. Multiple imputation was implemented for missing data. There was limited evidence of increased risk of failure to attain a 'good level of development' in those additionally exposed to maternal mental disorders (adjusted RR 1.21; 95% CI 0.94, 1.55). However, there was more evidence in children of Pakistani maternal ethnicity (adjusted RR 1.36; 95% CI 1.04, 1.77) than White British; this may have been driven by English not being the primary language spoken in the home. Therefore there may be groups with GDM in whom it is particularly important to optimise both maternal physical and mental health to improve child outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the Multidimensional Health Assessment Questionnaire (MDHAQ) in screening for anxiety in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), compared to the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) as the reference standard. METHODS Patients with a physician diagnosis of RA or PsA were invited to complete the MDHAQ and HADS at their routine rheumatology clinic visit. Sensitivity, specificity, percent agreement, and [Formula: see text] statistics were used to evaluate agreement between 2 MDHAQ items for anxiety and HADS subscale for Anxiety (HADS-A) score of ≥ 8. The first item is a question asked on a 4-point scale (0-3.3), and the second is a yes or no (blank) question asked within a 60-item review of symptoms (ROS) checklist. RESULTS The study included 183 participants, of whom 126 (68.9%) had RA and 57 (31.1%) had PsA. The mean age was 57.3 years and 66.7% were female. Positive screening for anxiety according to a HADS-A score of ≥ 8 was seen in 39.3% of patients. Compared to those with a HADS-A score of ≥ 8, patients with an MDHAQ score of ≥ 2.2 or a positive on ROS had a sensitivity of 69.9%, specificity of 73.6% and substantial agreement (agreement 80.9%, [Formula: see text] 0.59). CONCLUSION The MDHAQ provides information similar to the HADS in screening for anxiety in patients with RA and PsA. The use of this single questionnaire, which can also be used to monitor clinical status and to screen for fibromyalgia and depression without requiring multiple questionnaires, may prove a valuable tool in routine clinical practice.

The diagnostic performance of machine learning based on resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data for major depressive disorders: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Front Neurosci 2023; 17:1174080. [PMID: 37811326 PMCID: PMC10559726 DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2023.1174080] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/11/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective Machine learning (ML) has been widely used to detect and evaluate major depressive disorder (MDD) using neuroimaging data, i.e., resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). However, the diagnostic efficiency is unknown. The aim of the study is to conduct an updated meta-analysis to evaluate the diagnostic performance of ML based on rs-fMRI data for MDD. Methods English databases were searched for relevant studies. The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS-2) was used to assess the methodological quality of the included studies. A random-effects meta-analytic model was implemented to investigate the diagnostic efficiency, including sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), and area under the curve (AUC). Regression meta-analysis and subgroup analysis were performed to investigate the cause of heterogeneity. Results Thirty-one studies were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, DOR, and AUC with 95% confidence intervals were 0.80 (0.75, 0.83), 0.83 (0.74, 0.82), 14.00 (9, 22.00), and 0.86 (0.83, 0.89), respectively. Substantial heterogeneity was observed among the studies included. The meta-regression showed that the leave-one-out cross-validation (loocv) (sensitivity: p < 0.01, specificity: p < 0.001), graph theory (sensitivity: p < 0.05, specificity: p < 0.01), n > 100 (sensitivity: p < 0.001, specificity: p < 0.001), simens equipment (sensitivity: p < 0.01, specificity: p < 0.001), 3.0T field strength (Sensitivity: p < 0.001, specificity: p = 0.04), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) (sensitivity: p = 0.04, specificity: p = 0.06) might be the sources of heterogeneity. Furthermore, the subgroup analysis showed that the sample size (n > 100: sensitivity: 0.71, specificity: 0.72, n < 100: sensitivity: 0.81, specificity: 0.79), the different levels of disease evaluated by the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS/HAMD) (mild vs. moderate vs. severe: sensitivity: 0.52 vs. 0.86 vs. 0.89, specificity: 0.62 vs. 0.78 vs. 0.82, respectively), the depression scales in patients with comparable levels of severity. (BDI vs. HDRS/HAMD: sensitivity: 0.86 vs. 0.87, specificity: 0.78 vs. 0.80, respectively), and the features (graph vs. functional connectivity: sensitivity: 0.84 vs. 0.86, specificity: 0.76 vs. 0.78, respectively) selected might be the causes of heterogeneity. Conclusion ML showed high accuracy for the automatic diagnosis of MDD. Future studies are warranted to promote the potential use of these classification algorithms in clinical settings.

General practitioners' views towards management of common mental health disorders: Τhe critical role of continuing medical education. BMC PRIMARY CARE 2023; 24:63. [PMID: 36870977 PMCID: PMC9985274 DOI: 10.1186/s12875-023-02017-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2022] [Accepted: 02/23/2023] [Indexed: 03/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The disability burden of common mental health disorders is enormous and should be faced at the first point of contact in the healthcare system. General Practitioners (GPs) are called to recognize, diagnose, and manage patients with mental health disorders, a task which is not always addressed successfully. The study aims at examining the relationship between mental health education of GPs and self-reported opinions on the care they provide to patients with mental disorders in Greece. METHODS A questionnaire investigating GPs' viewpoints regarding diagnostic methods, referral rates and overall management of patients with mental disorders, and how these are impacted by their education on mental health, was employed, in a randomly selected sample of 353 GPs in Greece. Suggestions and proposals about improvement of ongoing mental health training, along with organizational reforming were also recorded. RESULTS Received Continuing Medical Education (CME) is characterized as insufficient by 56.1% of the GPs. More than half of the GPs participate in clinical tutorials and mental health conferences once per three years or less. The level of educational score on mental health is associated positively with decisiveness on management of patients and increases self-confidence. A percentage of 77.6% states knowledge of the appropriate treatment and 56.1% agree to initiate treatment without referring to a specialist. However, low to moderate self-confidence about diagnosis and treatment is stated by 47.5%. According to GPs, critical points for improving mental health primary care are the liaison psychiatry and high degree of CME. CONCLUSION Greek GPs are calling for focused and continuing medical education, in the field of psychiatry, along with essential structural and organizational reforming of the healthcare system, including an efficient liaison psychiatry.

Abstract
Suicidal deaths among physicians have been on a steady rise in the past few decades, despite being a part of the healthcare system, training for early identification and easy access to treatment services. While there is no doubt that this warrants concern at individual, institutional, and community levels, physician suicide remains an under-researched topic. We examine the correlates of suicidal deaths among physicians along with risks and protective factors conferred to physicians as a population and emphasize the need for preventive and risk-reduction initiatives that are specifically tailored for physicians and the healthcare provider community.

Abstract
Depression is a common, potentially debilitating non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease which may manifest at any time and can respond to treatment. Although depression is a known primary mediator of health-related quality of life, it is currently unknown whether the timing of depression diagnosis relative to PD diagnosis affects receipt of depression treatment. Electronic health record data were examined to explore differences in depression treatment among patients diagnosed with depression before or after PD diagnosis. Compared to PD patients diagnosed with depression prior to PD, those diagnosed with depression following PD are less likely to receive any treatment, either pharmacologic or non-pharmacologic, indicating a temporal association between the time of PD diagnosis and receipt of depression treatment. This highlights a potentially substantial treatment gap, despite the existence of efficacious treatment. Diagnosis with PD appears to alter depression treatment and further research is warranted to determine potential causes and effective interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common, progressive lung disease that often manifests with psychiatric symptoms. Despite this, patients with COPD are not routinely screened for anxiety and depression, which substantially contribute to COPD-related morbidity. OBJECTIVE To determine the relationship among COPD symptom severity, exacerbation risk, and clinically significant anxiety and depression symptoms in ever smokers with COPD. METHODS We used baseline data from the Subpopulations and Intermediate Outcome Measures In COPD Study (SPIROMICS) cohort to examine ever smokers with COPD across Global Initiative for Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) disease severity groups. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to calculate odds ratios for clinically significant anxiety and depression for each GOLD group, which was compared to the control group of ever smokers without COPD. Odds ratios were adjusted for subject demographics, medical comorbidities, and substance use covariates, and comparisons were completed using 2-tailed tests. RESULTS Of the 2664 subjects studied, 784 (29.4%) had clinically significant anxiety, and 497 (18.7%) had clinically significant depression. In the multivariable analysis, high pulmonary symptom groups, groups B and D, had increased adjusted odds of clinically significant anxiety (group B: adjusted odds ratios [AOR] 1.28, P = 0.03; group D: AOR 1.95, P < 0.0001) and depression (group B: AOR 2.09, P < 0.0001; group D: AOR 3.04, P < 0.0001). GOLD group D, the group with high pulmonary symptoms and high COPD exacerbation risk, had the greatest risk of both anxiety and depression among the GOLD groups. CONCLUSIONS High COPD symptom severity, even in the absence of elevated COPD exacerbation risk, is associated with clinically significant anxiety and depression. Our separate analyses of anxiety and depression symptoms in a large, multisite, national cohort are unique within the literature and have important treatment implications for COPD patients. Our findings also highlight the utility of screening patients with high COPD symptom severity for anxiety and depression.

Abstract
Social determinants of health (SDOH) influence inequities in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). While these inequities contribute to overall disease experience, there is little consensus guiding our understanding of the psychological implications of SDOH in SLE. Given the paucity of evidence in this area, the aim of this scoping review was to systematically assess the volume and features of available research literature on associations of SDOH with depression in SLE over the past 20 years, from 1 January 2000 to 16 November 2021. We developed a search strategy for PubMed and EMBASE that included keywords for depression and lupus. After screening 2188 articles, we identified 22 original articles that met our inclusion criteria. At least one SDOH was associated with depression in two of the six studies with unadjusted estimates and 13 of the 16 studies with adjusted estimates. Results provide consistent but sparse evidence that SDOH are associated with depression in SLE. Additionally, depression epidemiology in SLE may differ from the general population such that depression risk is more similar across genders and racial/ethnic groups. More work is needed to identify the SDOH that have the greatest impact on depression and mental health among SLE patients, as well as how and when to intervene.

Abstract
Orthopaedic trauma patients have high rates of psychiatric disorders, which put them at risk for worse outcomes after injury and surgery, including worse pain. Mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety, can affect the perception of pain. Pain can also exacerbate or contribute to the development of mental illness after injury. Interventions to address both mental health and pain among orthopaedic trauma patients are critical. Balancing safety and comfort amid a drug overdose epidemic is challenging, and many clinicians do not feel comfortable addressing mental health or have the resources necessary. We reviewed the literature on the complex relationship between pain and mental health and presented examples of scalable and accessible interventions that can be implemented to promote the health and recovery of our patients. Interventions described include screening for depression in the orthopaedic trauma clinic and the emergency department or inpatient setting during injury and using a comprehensive and evidence-based multimodal pain management regimen that blends pharmacologic alternatives to opioids and physical and cognitive strategies to manage pain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the (1) feasibility and acceptability of administering single question mental health surveillance to carers of children with chronic disease in the inpatient setting and (2) sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of this question to detect 'at risk' children compared with the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). DESIGN Cross-sectional pilot SETTING: Day Medical Unit of a tertiary paediatric hospital, 1 April 2021-31 July 2021. PATIENTS Carers of children aged 2-17 years with chronic medical conditions. INTERVENTIONS Caregivers were asked to respond to 'Thinking about your child's mental health over the past 4 weeks, are they thriving/coping/struggling/always overwhelmed?' during the admission process. All carers and children 11-17 years were invited to complete the SDQ. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Feasibility and acceptability were determined by nursing feedback. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV were determined by comparing question responses with clinical cut-points on the SDQ. RESULTS 213 carers responded to the question. Nurses reported that the question was easy (12/14) or moderately easy (2/14) to use and was 'easily understood' (6/14) or 'understood after some explanation' (8/14) for most carers. The question demonstrated a high specificity (0.98)/PPV (0.87) but low sensitivity (0.2) when thriving/coping were considered together whereas when thriving was compared with all other responses the sensitivity increased to 0.7. CONCLUSIONS Single question mental health surveillance appears acceptable to carers and nursing staff and has a high level of specificity for children who are 'struggling' or 'always overwhelmed' versus the SDQ screening measure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To report our experiences in implementing a behavioral health integration pathway, including a validated depression screening and referral to care. DESIGN Retrospective case series. SETTING Single surgeon's musculoskeletal trauma outpatient practice during calendar year 2019. PATIENTS All patients presenting to the practice during 2019 were included (n = 573). INTERVENTION We piloted the usage of Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)-2 and PHQ-9 screening. An evidence-based, real-time treatment protocol embedded in the electronic health record was triggered when a patient screened positive for depression including an automated behavioral health integration pathway. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS The percentage of patients screened, the results of the PHQ screening, and the number of patients referred and enrolled in behavioral health programs were collected. RESULTS Of the 573 patients, 476 (83%) received the PHQ-2 screening, 80 (14%) had a current screening on file (within 1 year), and 17 (3.0%) were not screened. One hundred seventy-two patients (36%) had a PHQ-2 score of 2 or greater and completed the PHQ-9; of them, 60 (35% of patients screened with full PHQ-9, 13% of patients screened) screened positive for symptoms of moderate depression (PHQ-9 score ≥10), and 19 (4.0%) reported passive suicidal ideation (PHQ-9 item 9). Fifty of these patients were referred to behavioral health through the pathway, and 8 patients enrolled in the program. Ten patients were not referred because of a technical error that was quickly resolved. Patients reporting suicidal ideation were managed with psychiatric crisis resources including immediate virtual consult in the examination room. CONCLUSIONS This case series demonstrates the feasibility of screening patients for depressive symptoms and making necessary referrals to behavioral health in outpatient musculoskeletal trauma care. We identified 50 patients with depression and appropriately triaged them for further care in our community.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Only a few studies have investigated incidence and risk factors of depression in the highest age groups. This study aims to determine incidence rates as well as risk factors of incident depressive symptoms in latest life, adjusting for the competing event of mortality. METHODS Data of a prospective, longitudinal, multi-centered cohort study conducted in primary care - the AgeCoDe-/AgeQualiDe study. 2436 GP patients aged 75+ years were assessed from baseline to sixth follow-up every 18 months and from seventh to ninth follow-up every 10 months. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the 15-item version of the Geriatric Depression Scale (cut-off ≥6). Competing risk regression models were used to assess determinants of incident depressive symptoms, taking care of accumulated mortality. RESULTS The incidence of depressive symptoms was 39 per 1000 person-years (95% CI 36-42; last observed exit 13.26 person-years at risk). In a competing risk regression model, female sex, unmarried family status, subjective cognitive decline as well as vision and mobility impairment were significant risk factors of incident depression. LIMITATIONS Excluding individuals with a lack of ability to provide informed consent at baseline may have influenced the incidence of depression. Depressive symptoms were not assessed by DSM criteria. Furthermore, in studies with voluntary participation, participation bias can never be completely avoided. CONCLUSION Findings provide a better understanding of risk and protective factors of depressive symptoms in the oldest age taking mortality as a competing event into account. Addressing this aspect in future research may yield new insights in that research field.

Abstract
Health care for depression is a major challenge. The aim of this review is to capture the status of the detection, diagno- sis and treatment of depression in the Spanish public health system. The data from the latest National Health Survey (ENSE 2017) have been analyzed and a non-systematic search for publications has been carried out in the PubMed and Scopus databases. We highlight the high specificity and low sensitivity in the detection of cases of major depression by Primary Care (PC) physicians in Spain. The detection of depression is supe- rior in specialized care compared to PC. The new healthcare systems based on the shared approach and the hierarchical model of screening, diagnosis and referral are reviewed and we present improvement proposals based on various programs and models of healthcare for depression.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Despite its high prevalence and negative consequences, depression is often underdiagnosed. We aimed to estimate the prevalence and sociodemographic and health related factors associated with depression underdiagnosis among a nationally representative population-based sample in Brazil. METHOD We used data from 70,806 participants (15-107 years old) of the Brazilian National Survey (PNS 2019). Depression underdiagnosis was considered for participants with a Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) score >9 and with no diagnosis made by a health provider. Logistic regression models were performed to assess the crude and adjusted association between depression underdiagnosis and sociodemographic and health related factors. Population attributable risk fractions were calculated for significant predictors. RESULTS The prevalence of depression (according the PHQ-9) was 11.2% (IC95% 10.8:11.7). Depression underdiagnosis prevalence was 63.6% (IC95% 62.0%:65.2%) and was more frequent among male, elderly population, those with lower income, lower schooling, living in the North/Central region of the country, with best health perception, lower number of chronic disease and medical appointments. A significant percentage of depression underdiagnosed cases in Brazil in 2019 would be prevent by improving education (10.18%), income (3.99%), access to health visits (5.59%) and addressing barriers for depression diagnosis among males (5.44%), elderlies (3.32%), and population from the North region (8.29%). CONCLUSION(S) depression underdiagnosis is common in Brazil. Preventive measures should target the sociodemographic and health related factors associated with depression underdiagnosis.

Abstract
This study investigates the longitudinal association between living arrangements and psychiatrists' diagnosis of depression in the general population. In 1990, 1254 Japanese men and women aged 40-59 years were enroled and completed questionnaires on the living arrangement in the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study (JPHC Study) and participated in a mental health screening (2014-2015). The study diagnosed a major depressive disorder (MDD) assessed by well-trained certified psychiatrists through medical examinations. During the follow-up, a total of 105 participants (36 men and 69 women) aged 64-84 years were diagnosed with MDD by psychiatrists. Living with a child (ren) was associated with a reduced risk of MDD for men but not for women; the respective multivariable ORs (95% CIs) were 0.42 (0.19-0.96) and 0.59 (0.32-1.09). These associations remained unchanged after adjusting for living with spouse and parent(s). In conclusion, living with a child (ren) was associated with a reduced risk of MDD in men, suggesting the role of a child (ren) in the prevention of MDD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate how trends in incidence of anxiety and depressive disorders have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. DESIGN Population-based cohort study. SETTING Retrospective cohort study from 2018 to 2021 using the Information System for Research in Primary Care (SIDIAP) database in Catalonia, Spain. PARTICIPANTS 3 640 204 individuals aged 18 or older in SIDIAP on 1 March 2018 with no history of anxiety and depressive disorders. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOMES MEASURES The incidence of anxiety and depressive disorders during the prelockdown period (March 2018-February 2020), lockdown period (March-June 2020) and postlockdown period (July 2020-March 2021) was calculated. Forecasted rates over the COVID-19 periods were estimated using negative binomial regression models based on prelockdown data. The percentage of reduction was estimated by comparing forecasted versus observed events, overall and by sex, age and socioeconomic status. RESULTS The incidence rates per 100 000 person-months of anxiety and depressive disorders were 151.1 (95% CI 150.3 to 152.0) and 32.3 (31.9 to 32.6), respectively, during the prelockdown period. We observed an increase of 37.1% (95% prediction interval 25.5 to 50.2) in incident anxiety diagnoses compared with the expected in March 2020, followed by a reduction of 15.8% (7.3 to 23.5) during the postlockdown period. A reduction in incident depressive disorders occurred during the lockdown and postlockdown periods (45.6% (39.2 to 51.0) and 22.0% (12.6 to 30.1), respectively). Reductions were higher among women during the lockdown period, adults aged 18-34 years and individuals living in the most deprived areas. CONCLUSIONS The COVID-19 pandemic in Catalonia was associated with an initial increase in anxiety disorders diagnosed in primary care but a reduction in cases as the pandemic continued. Diagnoses of depressive disorders were lower than expected throughout the pandemic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare, in a population of women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), the time to diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes in those with and without common mental disorder (CMD) (depression and/or anxiety) during pregnancy. DESIGN AND SETTING prospective study of the Born in Bradford cohort in Bradford, UK. PARTICIPANTS 909 women diagnosed with GDM between 2007 and 2010, with linkage to their primary care records until 2017. The exposed population were women with an indicator of CMD during pregnancy in primary care records. The unexposed were those without an indicator. OUTCOME MEASURES Time to diagnosis of type 2 diabetes as indicated by a diagnosis in primary care records. ANALYSIS time to event analysis using Cox regression was employed. Multiple imputation by chained equations was implemented to handle missing data. Models were adjusted for maternal age, ethnicity, education, preconception CMD and tobacco smoking during pregnancy. RESULTS 165 women (18%) were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes over a follow-up period of around 10 years. There was no evidence of an effect of antenatal CMD on the development of type 2 diabetes following GDM (adjusted HR 0.95; 95% CI 0.57 to 1.57). CONCLUSIONS Women with CMD were not at an increased risk of type 2 diabetes following GDM. This is reassuring for women with these co-morbidities but requires replication in other study populations.

Abstract
Background Depression one of the world's prevalent mental illnesses is a leading cause of major public health problems globally and its frequency has been increasing, particularly in low and middle-income countries. Little is known about the magnitude and contributing factors of preoperative depression among elective surgical inpatients in the country and in the study area as well. The aim of the current study was to assess the magnitude and factors associated with preoperative depression among elective surgical inpatients. Method A cross-sectional study was conducted from May 01, 2021 to June 30, 2021 among preoperative surgical inpatients at University of Gondar comprehensive specialized hospital. Non probability sampling was used. A nine-item questionnaire screening tool was used to assess depression. We computed the bi-variable and multivariable binary logistic regression analyses. Crude and adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval were used. Result The magnitude of depression was 28.3%. In the multivariable logistic regression analysis female (AOR = 2.27, 95% CI: 1.15, 4.5), being widowed (AOR = 3.271, 95% CI: 1.25, 8.56), divorced (AOR = 3.41, 95% CI: 1.13, 10.26), length of hospital stay of 7–14 days (AOR = 2.7, 95%CI: 1, 7.2) and more than 14 days (AOR = 3.19, 95% CI: 1.3, 7.8), having co-existing diseases (AOR = 2.78, 95%CI: 1.28, 6.02), current history of pain (AOR = 3.12, 95%CI: 1.6, 5.7), admission to orthopedics (AOR = 3.28, 95%CI: 1.55, 6.95) and gynecology ward (AOR = 2.43, 95% CI: 1.03, 5.7) and poor social support AOR = 2.24, 95% CI: 1.1, 4.6) were significantly associated with depression. Conclusion The magnitude of pre-operation depression was 28.3%. Female, Widowed, being divorced, length of hospital stays, coexisting chronic illness, current history of pain, admission at orthopedic and gynecology wards and poor social support were factors significantly associated with depression. We recommend strengthening the linkage of the psychiatric department with preoperative patients to provide psychotherapy behavioral modification. Depression is one of the world's mental illnesses problem. Little is known about prevalence and its contributing factors of preoperative depression. Surgical patients with Preoperative depression have major post-operative complications. The prevalence of preoperative depression among surgical inpatient was 28.3%.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Consultation-liaison psychiatrists frequently evaluate cancer patients with brain involvement, and brain irradiation is often a mainstay of treatment for this population. A comprehensive review of the neuropsychiatric effects of brain radiotherapy is lacking in the psychiatric literature. This review aims to provide an in depth discussion of existing literature with guidance about treatments for radiation-induced neurocognitive decline. METHODS Narrative synthesis of available published literature retrieved from PubMed and MEDLINE databases. Particular focus was given to neuropsychiatric manifestations after radiotherapy, dose-response relationships, differential effects of whole versus stereotactic regimens, and studies investigating possible pharmacological treatments. RESULTS Brain irradiation induces cognitive, mood, and other symptoms that evolve in a time-dependent manner and adversely affect quality of life. Available data implicates loss of hippocampal neurogenesis and repair in post-radiotherapy changes. Clinical factors affecting incidence of neuropsychiatric compromise include total radiation dose, whole brain radiation, among others. Efficacy of pharmacological interventions is mixed for certain agents (ie, methylphenidate) but promising for others (ie, memantine). CONCLUSIONS Neuropsychiatric consequences of brain irradiation are common. Although our understanding of clinical manifestations and pathogenesis has advanced considerably, treatment options are poorly researched and use of any psychopharmacological intervention should therefore be tailored to individual patient needs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Maternal mental health problems are a serious public health concern. Previous data reported that pregnancy might have a protective effect against suicide. In contrast, more recent studies suggested that the prevalence of suicidal ideation (SI) is higher among pregnant women compared to the general population. Using a nationally representative population-based sample of Brazilian reproductive-aged women, this study aims to assess whether SI is more prevalent among pregnant women in comparison with nonpregnant woman. METHODS We used data from the Brazilian National Health Survey (PNS) of 2019, a cross-sectional study that comprised a representative sample of residents in private households in Brazil. For the analysis of this study, we selected women aged between 15 and 49 years old who have answered the questionnaire of the Selected Resident of the PNS, which comprised a sample of 27,249 women. Logistic regression models were performed to obtain crude and adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) for the association between pregnancy status and SI. RESULTS The prevalence of SI during pregnancy was 6.8% (95% CI: 6.2-7.4). The association between pregnancy status and SI was modified according to the recent clinical diagnosis of depression (interaction term: OR = 41.72, 95% CI: 5.64-308.45, p < 0.001). Our findings indicated that among nondepressed women, pregnancy status seems to decrease the probability of SI. Additionally, SI is associated with a vulnerable profile that includes being an adolescent, having an unpartnered/not married status, lower family income, lower education, and a recent clinical diagnosis of depression. CONCLUSION SI is a common problem for reproductive-age women. In the presence of a recent depression clinical diagnosis, pregnancy increases the risk of SI. Management of SI among pregnant women should correctly identify sociodemographic risk factors and the presence of a recent clinical diagnosis of depression.

Abstract
Mental complaints and disorders are common in competitive sports. Despite this, they are not recognized sufficiently in Pre-Participation Examinations (PPE) yet. We present a structured, staged model of sports psychiatric diagnosis containing a Psychiatric Basic Assessment (PBA) within the annual PPE as well as a Sports Psychiatric Evaluation (SPE) in case of conspicuous PBA results. The PBA should be designed as a compact as well as sensitive and specific instrument. An optional three-stage SPE by specialists for both psychiatric disciplines should preferably include a general psychiatric assessment, a clinical interview and a symptom- or disorder-specific diagnosis and examination. Such a staged approach should be time-efficient and well accepted by the athletes. The model proposed here will hopefully contribute as a clinical standard to the early detection of mental disorders requiring treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Conducted under the auspices of the Italian Society of Consultation Liaison Psychiatry (SIPC) the aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of Consultation Liaison Psychiatry (CLP) activity in Italy (SIPC-2-2018) over the past 20 years by comparing with data from the first Italian nation-wide study (SIPC-1-1998). METHODS We collected data on CLP visits of 3,943 patients from 10 Italian hospitals over a period of 1 year. Data were compared with those from the SIPC-1 1998 study (4,183 participants). Patients were assessed with the same ad hoc 60-item Patient Registration Form recording information from five different areas: Sociodemographic, hospitalization-related, consultation-related, interventions and outcome. RESULTS Compared with participants from the previous study, SIPC-2-2018 participants were significantly older (d = 0.54) and hospitalized for a longer duration (d = 0.20). The current study detected an increase in the proportion of referrals from surgical wards and for individuals affected by onco-hematologic diseases. Depressive disorders still represented the most frequent psychiatric diagnosis, followed by adjustment and stress disorders and delirium/dementia. Also, CLP psychiatrists prescribed more often antidepressants (Φ = 0.13), antipsychotics (Φ = 0.09), mood stabilizers (Φ = 0.24), and less often benzodiazepines (Φ = 0.07). CONCLUSION CLP workload has increased considerably in the past 20 years in Italy, with changes in patient demographic and clinical characteristics. A trend toward increase in medication-based patient management was observed. These findings suggest that the psychiatric needs of patients admitted to the general hospital are more frequently addressed by referring physicians, although Italian CLP services still deserve better organization and autonomy.

Abstract
Sports Psychiatric Diagnostics in Competitive Sports - Establishing a Clinical Standard Abstract. Mental complaints and disorders are common in competitive sports. Despite this, they are not recognized sufficiently in Pre-Participation Examinations (PPE) yet. We present a structured, staged model of sports psychiatric diagnosis containing a Psychiatric Basic Assessment (PBA) within the annual PPE as well as a Sports Psychiatric Evaluation (SPE) in case of conspicuous PBA results. The PBA should be designed as a compact as well as sensitive and specific instrument. An optional three-stage SPE by specialists for both psychiatric disciplines should preferably include a general psychiatric assessment, a clinical interview and a symptom- or disorder-specific diagnosis and examination. Such a staged approach should be time-efficient and well accepted by the athletes. The model proposed here will hopefully contribute as a clinical standard to the early detection of mental disorders requiring treatment.

Abstract
Sentiment analysis is an emerging trend nowadays to understand people’s sentiments in multiple situations in their quotidian life. Social media data would be utilized for the entire process ie the analysis and classification processes and it consists of text data and emoticons, emojis, etc. Many experiments were conducted in the antecedent studies utilizing Binary and Ternary Classification whereas Multi-class Classification gives more precise and precise Classification. In Multi-class Classification, the data would be divided into multiple sub-classes predicated on the polarities. Machine Learning and Deep Learning Techniques would be utilized for the classification process. Utilizing Social media, sentiment levels can be monitored or analysed. This paper shows a review of the sentiment analysis on Social media data for apprehensiveness or dejection detection utilizing various artificial intelligence techniques. In the survey, it was optically canvassed that social media data which consists of texts,emoticons and emojis were utilized for the sentiment identification utilizing various artificial intelligence techniques. Multi Class Classification with Deep Learning Algorithm shows higher precision value during the sentiment analysis.

Abstract
Introduction: Patients with chronic diseases can experience psychological conditions, including anxiety and depression. However, the association between chronic diseases and these psychological conditions remains unclear. This study aimed to identify the relationship between anxiety, depression, and common chronic diseases (hypertension, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, and rheumatoid arthritis), and their association with social determinants at an outpatient primary care setting. Methods: The validated hospital anxiety and depression scale was administered electronically to eligible participants. For each condition (anxiety and depression), participants were categorized as normal, borderline abnormal, and abnormal, according to their score out of 21 (≤7 = normal, 8-10 = borderline abnormal, ≥11 = abnormal). The scores and numbers of participants in each category were analyzed and compared with their demographic characteristics and chronic diseases for associations and relationships. Results: We recruited 271 participants (mean age of 51.65 + 11.71 years) attending primary care clinics. Of these patients, 17.7% and 8.9% had borderline abnormal and abnormal depression, respectively, and 10.3% and 8.9% of patients had borderline abnormal anxiety and abnormal anxiety. Common social determinants and lifestyle factors were examined. Age, gender, and sugary drinks’ consumption significantly increased the odds of hypertension and type 2 diabetes; vigorous physical activity 3 times a week, decreased the odds of developing these chronic diseases. Adjusted regression models showed a statistically significant association between the hospital anxiety and depression scale score for borderline and abnormal anxiety and the presence of type 2 diabetes (OR 3.04 [95% CI 1.13, 8.19], P-value = .03 and OR 4.65 [95% CI 1.63,13.22], P-value <.03, respectively) and dyslipidemia (OR 5.93 [95% CI 1.54, 22.86], P-value = .01, and OR 4.70 [95% CI 0.78, 28.35], P-value = .09, respectively). The odds of developing depression were 4 times higher (P-value .04) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Conclusion: Among patients attending primary care outpatient clinics, anxiety, and depression were significantly associated with type 2 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis, respectively. Social determinants and lifestyle factors play a major role in the development of common chronic diseases in Saudi Arabia. Primary care physicians should consider the patients’ psychological status, sociodemographic status, and lifestyle risks during the management of chronic diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to examine agreement between common mental disorders (CMDs) from primary care records and repeated CMD questionnaire data from ALSPAC (the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children) over adolescence and young adulthood, explore factors affecting CMD identification in primary care records, and construct models predicting ALSPAC-derived CMDs using only primary care data. DESIGN AND SETTING Prospective cohort study (ALSPAC) in Southwest England with linkage to electronic primary care records. PARTICIPANTS Primary care records were extracted for 11 807 participants (80% of 14 731 eligible). Between 31% (3633; age 15/16) and 11% (1298; age 21/22) of participants had both primary care and ALSPAC CMD data. OUTCOME MEASURES ALSPAC outcome measures were diagnoses of suspected depression and/or CMDs. Primary care outcome measure were Read codes for diagnosis, symptoms and treatment of depression/CMDs. For each time point, sensitivities and specificities for primary care CMD diagnoses were calculated for predicting ALSPAC-derived measures of CMDs, and the factors associated with identification of primary care-based CMDs in those with suspected ALSPAC-derived CMDs explored. Lasso (least absolute selection and shrinkage operator) models were used at each time point to predict ALSPAC-derived CMDs using only primary care data, with internal validation by randomly splitting data into 60% training and 40% validation samples. RESULTS Sensitivities for primary care diagnoses were low for CMDs (range: 3.5%-19.1%) and depression (range: 1.6%-34.0%), while specificities were high (nearly all >95%). The strongest predictors of identification in the primary care data for those with ALSPAC-derived CMDs were symptom severity indices. The lasso models had relatively low prediction rates, especially in the validation sample (deviance ratio range: -1.3 to 12.6%), but improved with age. CONCLUSIONS Primary care data underestimate CMDs compared to population-based studies. Improving general practitioner identification, and using free-text or secondary care data, is needed to improve the accuracy of models using clinical data.

Validation of case definitions of depression derived from administrative data against the CIDI-SF as reference standard: results from the PROspective Québec (PROQ) study. BMC Psychiatry 2021; 21:491. [PMID: 34620134 PMCID: PMC8496029 DOI: 10.1186/s12888-021-03501-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2020] [Accepted: 09/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Administrative data have several advantages over questionnaire and interview data to identify cases of depression: they are usually inexpensive, available for a long period of time and are less subject to recall bias and differential classification errors. However, the validity of administrative data in the correct identification of depression has not yet been studied in general populations. The present study aimed to 1) evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of administrative cases of depression using the validated Composite International Diagnostic Interview - Short Form (CIDI-SF) as reference standard and 2) compare the known-groups validity between administrative and CIDI-SF cases of depression. METHODS The 5487 participants seen at the last wave (2015-2018) of the PROQ cohort had CIDI-SF questionnaire data linked to hospitalization and medical reimbursement data provided by the provincial universal healthcare provider and coded using the International Classification of Disease. We analyzed the sensitivity and specificity of several case definitions of depression from this administrative data. Their association with known predictors of depression was estimated using robust Poisson regression models. RESULTS Administrative cases of depression showed high specificity (≥ 96%), low sensitivity (19-32%), and rather low agreement (Cohen's kappa of 0.21-0.25) compared with the CIDI-SF. These results were consistent over strata of sex, age and education level and with varying case definitions. In known-groups analysis, the administrative cases of depression were comparable to that of CIDI-SF cases (RR for sex: 1.80 vs 2.03 respectively, age: 1.53 vs 1.40, education: 1.52 vs 1.28, psychological distress: 2.21 vs 2.65). CONCLUSION The results obtained in this large sample of a general population suggest that the dimensions of depression captured by administrative data and by the CIDI-SF are partially distinct. However, their known-groups validity in relation to risk factors for depression was similar to that of CIDI-SF cases. We suggest that neither of these data sources is superior to the other in the context of large epidemiological studies aiming to identify and quantify risk factors for depression.

Abstract
Background The Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) is a well-established treatment for depression in primary care settings. The critical drivers and specific strategies for improving implementation and sustainment are largely unknown. Rigorous pragmatic research is needed to understand CoCM implementation processes and outcomes. Methods This study is a hybrid Type 2 randomized roll-out effectiveness-implementation trial of CoCM in 11 primary care practices affiliated with an academic medical center. The Collaborative Behavioral Health Program (CBHP) was developed as a means of improving access to effective mental health services for depression. Implementation strategies are provided to all practices. Using a sequential mixed methods approach, we will assess key stakeholders’ perspectives on barriers and facilitators of implementation and sustainability of CBHP. The speed and quantity of implementation activities completed over a 30-month period for each practice will be assessed. Economic analyses will be conducted to determine the budget impact and cost offset of CBHP in the healthcare system. We hypothesize that CBHP will be effective in reducing depressive symptoms and spillover effects on chronic health conditions. We will also examine differential outcomes among racial/ethnic minority patients. Discussion This study will elucidate critical drivers of successful CoCM implementation. It will be among the first to conduct economic analyses on a fee-for-service model utilizing billing codes for CoCM. Data may inform ways to improve implementation efficiency with an optimization approach to successive practices due to the roll-out design. Changes to the protocol and current status of the study are discussed.

A qualitative study to investigate Swiss hospital personnel's perceived importance of and experiences with patient's mental-somatic multimorbidities. BMC Psychiatry 2021; 21:349.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mental-somatic multimorbidity in general hospital settings is associated with long hospital stays, frequent rehospitalization, and a deterioration of disease course, thus, highlighting the need for treating hospital patients more holistically. However, there are several challenges to overcome to address mental health conditions in these settings. This study investigated hospital personnel's perceived importance of and experiences with mental-somatic multimorbidities of patients in hospital settings in Basel, Switzerland, with special consideration of the differences between physicians and nurses. METHODS Eighteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with nurses (n = 10) and physicians (n = 8) in different hospitals located in Basel, Switzerland. An inductive approach of the framework analysis was used to develop the themes. RESULTS Four themes emerged from the data analysis: 1) the relevance of mental-somatic multimorbidity within general hospitals, 2) health professionals managing their emotions towards mental health, 3) knowledge and competencies in treating patients with mental-somatic multimorbidity, and 4) interprofessional collaboration for handling mental-somatic multimorbidity in hospital settings.The mental-somatic multimorbidities in general hospital patients was found to be relevant among all hospital professionals, although the priority of mental health was higher for nurses than for physicians. This might have resulted from different working environments or in efficient interprofessional collaboration in general hospitals. Physicians and nurses both highlighted the difficulties of dealing with stigma, a lack of knowledge of mental disorders, the emphasis place on treating somatic disorders, and competing priorities and work availability, which all hindered the adequate handling of mental-somatic multimorbidity in general hospitals. CONCLUSION To support health professionals to integrate mental health into their work, proper environments within general hospitals are needed, such as private rooms in which to communicate with patients. In addition, changes in curriculums and continuing training are needed to improve the understanding of mental-somatic multimorbidities and reduce negative stereotypes. Similarly, interprofessional collaboration between health professionals needs to be strengthened to adequately identify and treat mentally multimorbid patients. A stronger focus should be placed on physicians to improve their competencies in considering patient mental health in their daily somatic treatment care.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Access to healthcare services involves a complex dynamic, where mental health conditions are especially disadvantaged, due to multiple factors related to the context and the involved stakeholders. However, a characterisation of this phenomenon has not been carried out in Colombia, and this motivates the present study. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to explore the causes that affect access to health services for depression and unhealthy alcohol use in Colombia, according to various stakeholders involved in the care process. METHODS In-depth interviews and focus groups were conducted with health professionals, administrative professionals, users, and representatives of community health organisations in five primary and secondary-level institutions in three regions of Colombia. Subsequently, to describe access to healthcare for depression and unhealthy alcohol use, excerpts from the interviews and focus groups were coded through content analysis, expert consensus, and grounded theory. Five categories of analysis were created: education and knowledge of the health condition, stigma, lack of training of health professionals, culture, and structure or organisational factors. RESULTS We characterised the barriers to a lack of illness recognition that affected access to care for depression or unhealthy alcohol use according to users, healthcare professionals and administrative staff from five primary and secondary care centres in Colombia. The groups identified that lack of recognition of depression was related to low education and knowledge about this condition within the population, stigma, and lack of training of health professionals, as well as to culture. For unhealthy alcohol use, the participants identified that low education and knowledge about this condition, lack of training of healthcare professionals, and culture affected its recognition, and therefore, healthcare access. Neither structural nor organisational factors seemed to play a role in the recognition or self-recognition of these conditions. CONCLUSIONS This study provides essential information for the search for factors that undermine access to mental health in the Colombian context. Likewise, it promotes the generation of hypotheses that can lead to the development and implementation of tools to improve care in the field of mental illness.

Abstract
After participating in this activity, learners should be better able to:• Identify risk factors for late-life depression• Evaluate strategies to prevent late-life depression ABSTRACT: Late-life depression (LLD) is one of the major sources of morbidity and mortality in the world. Because LLD is related to increased public health burden, excess health care costs and utilization, reduced quality of life, and increased mortality, prevention is a priority. Older adults differ from younger adults with respect to key features, such as their chronicity and lifetime burden of depression and their constellation of comorbidities and risk factors. LLD likely arises from a complex interplay of risk factors, including medical, physiologic, psychosocial, behavioral, and environmental factors. Thus, a comprehensive understanding of LLD risk factors is necessary to inform prevention strategies. In this narrative literature review, we address both the risk architecture of LLD and several potential strategies for prevention. Our description of LLD risk factors and prevention approaches is informed by the framework developed by the National Academy of Medicine (formerly, Institute of Medicine), which includes indicated, selective, and universal approaches to prevention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND People with MS (pwMS) have had higher rates of anxiety and depression than the general population before the COVID-19 pandemic, placing them at higher risk of experiencing poor psychological wellbeing during the pandemic. OBJECTIVE To assess mental health and its social/lifestyle determinants in pwMS during the first wave of the outbreak in the United Kingdom. METHODS This is a community-based, prospective longitudinal cohort and cross-sectional case-control online questionnaire study. It includes 2010 pwMS from the UK MS Register and 380 people without MS. RESULTS The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale scores of pwMS for anxiety and depression during the outbreak did not change from the previous year. PwMS were more likely to have anxiety (using General Anxiety Disorder-7) and/or depression (using Patient Health Questionnaire-9) than controls during the outbreak (OR: 2.14, 95% CI: 1.58-2.91). PwMS felt lonelier (OR: 1.37, 95% CI: 1.04-1.80) reported worse social support (OR: 1.90, 95% CI: 1.18-3.07) and reported worsened exercise habits (OR: 1.65, 95% CI: 1.18-2.32) during the outbreak than controls. CONCLUSION Early in the pandemic, pwMS remained at higher risk of experiencing anxiety and depression than the general population. It is important that multidisciplinary teams improve their support for the wellbeing of pwMS, who are vulnerable to the negative effects of the pandemic on their lifestyle and social support.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence of anxiety and depression in hospitalized patients in the Department of Gastroenterology and to explore the risk factors affecting psychosomatic conditions in patients with digestive disorders. METHODS Patients hospitalized with gastrointestinal diseases were enrolled by the Department of Gastroenterology of Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from November 2017 to June 2018 and completed a cross-sectional questionnaire survey. According to anxiety/nonanxiety, depression/nondepression, the subjects were divided into two groups, respectively, and the risk factors of anxiety/depression were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 1186 patients were included in this study. The overall detection rate was 20.74% for anxiety symptoms alone, 31.78% for depressive symptoms alone, 13.99% for both anxiety and depressive symptoms, and 38.53% for either depression or anxiety symptoms. The prevalence of anxiety symptoms was higher in female than in male patients and inversely correlated with levels of education. There was no significant difference in the detection rate of anxiety and depression between patients with functional and organic digestive diseases. Sleep quality and quality of life were inversely correlated with the severity of anxiety and depression. Notably, among the patients with abnormal psychological conditions, only 7.6% of them were willing to receive psychological treatment. Gender, sleep quality, and life quality are independent risk factors for anxiety and depression symptoms for inpatients with gastrointestinal diseases. CONCLUSION Paying more attention to the education level, sleep quality, and quality of life in patients with gastrointestinal diseases will help doctors to identify the risk of psychological abnormalities and improve medical care.

Abstract
Purpose: Asian and Latinx individuals have a high burden of untreated depression. Under-recognition of depressive symptoms may contribute to existing disparities in depression treatment. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to determine whether physicians recognize and treat depressive symptoms for Chinese and Latinx patients during routine primary care visits. Methods: We analyzed data from 1171 Chinese and Latinx patients who were interviewed within 1 week after a primary care visit in a large academic practice, which had not yet implemented universal depression screening. We included participants with depressive symptoms (defined as a Patient Health Questionaire-2 score ≥3) and no prior history of depression (N=118). We investigated whether patients perceived having a mental health need in the prior year and conducted chart reviews to assess provider recognition of depressive symptoms, defined as documentation of symptoms, antidepressant initiation, or mental health referral within 30 days of the visit. We further examined differences by race/ethnicity and language preference. Results: Among the 118 patients with depressive symptoms and no prior depression diagnosis (mean age 68), 71 (61%) reported a mental health need in the prior 12 months; however, providers recognized depressive symptoms in only 8/118 patients (7%). The number of patients with recognized symptoms was small across race/ethnicity and language preference groups and we found no significant differences. Conclusion: Physicians recognized and documented depressive symptoms for 1 in 10 Chinese and Latinx patients during routine primary care visits. Targeted efforts are needed to address under-recognition of symptoms and improve depression care for these populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment of multimorbid patients can be improved. Development of patient-centred care of high-quality requires context-bound understanding of the multimorbid population's patterns of demographics, co-morbidities and medication use. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify patterns of multimorbidity in the total population of Region Stockholm, Sweden, by exploring demographics, claimed prescription drugs, risk of mortality and non-random association of conditions. METHODS In this cross-sectional descriptive population-based cohort study, we extracted data from the Swedish VAL database (N = 2 323 667) including all consultations in primary and specialized outpatient care, all inpatient care and all prescriptions claimed during 2017. We report number of chronic conditions and claimed prescription drugs, physical and mental co-morbidity, and 1-year mortality. We stratified the analyses by sex. We examined non-random associations between diseases using cluster analysis. RESULTS In total, 21.6% had multimorbidity (two or more chronic conditions) and 24.1% had polypharmacy (more than five claimed prescription drugs). Number of claimed drugs, co-occurrence of mental and physical conditions, and 1-year mortality increased as multimorbidity increased. We identified seven multimorbidity clusters with clinically distinct characteristics. The smallest cluster (7% of individuals) had prominent cardiovascular disease, the highest 1-year mortality rate, high levels of multimorbidity and polypharmacy, and was much older. The largest cluster (27% of individuals) was younger and heterogenous, with primarily mental health problems. CONCLUSIONS Individuals with chronic conditions often show clinical complexity with both concordant and discordant conditions and polypharmacy. This study indicates that clinical guidelines addressing clustering of conditions may be one strategy for managing complexity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND we aim to estimate the prevalence of depression underdiagnosis among women and whether pregnant women are at higher risk STUDY DESIGN: we used data from the Brazilian National Survey (PNS 2013), a population-based study. All 22.455 women (18-49 years old) answered the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and a questionnaire with sociodemographic, obstetric and clinical data. There were 2.605 (2.491 non-pregnant and 114 pregnant women) depressed women (PHQ-9 >8)with a clinical diagnosis of depression, in the last 30 days. Classification of depression underdiagnosis was made using the comparison between results obtained from the self-referred question evaluating clinical diagnosis of depression by providers and the results of the PHQ-9 application. Women with a PHQ-9 score > 8 and with a "No" answer in the clinical question were classified as depression underdiagnosis. Logistic regression models were performed to obtain crude and adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) RESULTS: Depression underdiagnosis prevalence was 71.2% and was more frequent among pregnant women in comparison with non-pregnant women (88.1% vs 68.0%; p = 0.002). In the adjusted analysis, being pregnant was significantly associated with depression underdiagnosis (aOR 3.55, 95% CI 1.66:7.60). Nonwhite skin color women were also at higher risk of depression underdiagnosis (aOR 1.53, 95% CI 1.09:2.14). LIMITATIONS the cross-sectional design and the lack of medical records data about assessment of mental health CONCLUSION(S): in Brazil, depression underdiagnosis by providers is prevalent and pregnant women and minority women are at higher risk of not receiving a correct mental health diagnosis.

Abstract
Background: Text-mining techniques are advancing all the time and vast corpora of social media text can be analyzed for users' views and experiences related to their health. There is great promise for new insights into health issues such as drug side effects and spread of disease, as well as patient experiences of health conditions and health care. However, this emerging field lacks ethical consensus and guidance. We aimed to bring together a comprehensive body of opinion, views, and recommendations in this area so that academic researchers new to the field can understand relevant ethical issues. Methods: After registration of a protocol in PROSPERO, three parallel systematic searches were conducted, to identify academic articles comprising commentaries, opinion, and recommendations on ethical practice in social media text mining for health research and gray literature guidelines and recommendations. These were integrated with social media users' views from qualitative studies. Papers and reports that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed thematically to identify key themes, and an overarching set of themes was deduced. Results: A total of 47 reports and articles were reviewed, and eight themes were identified. Commentators suggested that publicly posted social media data could be used without consent and formal research ethics approval, provided that the anonymity of users is ensured, although we note that privacy settings are difficult for users to navigate on some sites. Even without the need for formal approvals, we note ethical issues: to actively identify and minimize possible harms, to conduct research for public benefit rather than private gain, to ensure transparency and quality of data access and analysis methods, and to abide by the law and terms and conditions of social media sites. Conclusion: Although social media text mining can often legally and reasonably proceed without formal ethics approvals, we recommend improving ethical standards in health-related research by increasing transparency of the purpose of research, data access, and analysis methods; consultation with social media users and target groups to identify and mitigate against potential harms that could arise; and ensuring the anonymity of social media users.

Abstract
While most patients with depression, anxiety, or at-risk drinking receive care exclusively in primary care settings, primary care providers experience challenges in diagnosing and treating these common problems. Over the past two decades, the collaborative care model has addressed these challenges. However, this model has been adopted very slowly due to the high costs of care managers; inability to sustain their role in small practices; and the perceived lack of relevance of interventions focused on a specific psychiatric diagnosis. Thus, we designed an innovative randomized clinical trial (RCT), the Primary Care Assessment and Research of a Telephone Intervention for Neuropsychiatric Conditions with Education and Resources study (PARTNERs). This RCT compared the outcomes of enhanced usual care and a novel model of collaborative care in primary care patients with depressive disorders, generalized anxiety, social phobia, panic disorder, at-risk drinking, or alcohol use disorders. These conditions were selected because they are present in almost a third of patients seen in primary care settings. Innovations included assigning the care manager role to trained lay providers supported by computer-based tools; providing all care management centrally by phone - i.e., the intervention was delivered without any face-to-face contact between the patient and the care team; and basing patient eligibility and treatment selection on a transdiagnostic approach using the same eligibility criteria and the same treatment algorithms regardless of the participants' specific psychiatric diagnosis. This paper describes the design of this RCT and discusses the rationale for its main design features.

AlSalem M, AlHarbi MA, Badeghiesh A, Tourian L. Accuracy of initial psychiatric diagnoses given by nonpsychiatric physicians: A retrospective chart review. Medicine (Baltimore) 2020; 99:e23708. [PMID: 33371117 PMCID: PMC7748330 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000023708] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2020] [Accepted: 11/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Despite the increased morbidity and mortality associated with psychiatric illnesses, there remains a substantial level of inaccuracy of the initial psychiatric diagnoses given by nonpsychiatric physicians. This study examines the accuracy of initial psychiatric diagnoses by non-psychiatric physicians at the McGill University Health Center (MUHC).We conducted a retrospective chart review for all consultations requested from the consultation-liaison psychiatry service at MUHC. We included all the consultations from January 1, 2018, to December 30, 2018, and excluded patient data with established psychiatric diagnoses. In all requested consults, each diagnosis of a referring physician was compared with the final diagnosis given by the C-L psychiatry team. Conformity between the 2 was validated as accurate.Of the 980 referred inpatients, 875 were enrolled. Patients ranged in age and those older than 70 years constituted the largest group: 54.4% were male. For 467 patients (55.20%), the initial diagnostic impression given by the referring physicians agreed with the final diagnosis made by the C-L psychiatry team, while in 379 patients (44.80%), the initial diagnostic impression was not consistent with the final diagnosis made by the C-L team.Diagnostic impressions of neurocognitive and substance use disorders were highly accurate, but this was not the case when the referring physicians suspected depression or bipolar, personality, or psychotic disorders. This study shows that around half of the referrals were accurately diagnosed, which evinces that nonpsychiatric physicians' knowledge regarding psychiatric conditions is not optimal and that might negatively impact screening and treating these conditions.

Praharso NF, Pols H, Tiliopoulos N. Mental health literacy of Indonesian health practitioners and implications for mental health system development. Asian J Psychiatr 2020; 54:102168. [PMID: 33271677 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajp.2020.102168] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2020] [Revised: 05/07/2020] [Accepted: 05/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Compared to other countries in the South-East Asian region, Indonesia's mental health system remains underdeveloped from significant treatment gaps, which subsequently contribute to human rights violations of mental health patients who do not receive adequate medical care. In line with the introduction of universal health coverage in 2014, the Indonesian government plans to redress this by delegating detection and early intervention of mental health services to health practitioners without specialist training in mental health, however, there is limited evidence that they can perform this role effectively. This study aims to evaluate current workforce capacity by assessing differences in mental health literacy between Indonesian mental health and non-mental health practitioners. Compared to non-mental health practitioners, mental health practitioners are significantly less likely to hold stigmatising views towards individuals with mental illness. They are also significantly more likely to correctly recognise symptoms of depression and schizophrenia and recommend and implement evidence-based interventions for these conditions. These findings suggest that task-shifting is unlikely to be an effective solution to reduce the mental health treatment gap, and it is recommended that mental health system reform in Indonesia should initially focus on expansion and retention of the specialist mental health workforce.

Wilson CA, Santorelli G, Dickerson J, Ismail K, Reynolds RM, Simonoff E, Howard LM. Is there an association between anxiety and depression prior to and during pregnancy and gestational diabetes? An analysis of the Born in Bradford cohort. J Affect Disord 2020; 276:345-350. [PMID: 32741755 PMCID: PMC7477491 DOI: 10.1016/j.jad.2020.07.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2020] [Revised: 07/03/2020] [Accepted: 07/06/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND anxiety and depression are common in women with gestational diabetes but it is not clear whether they are more likely to precede the onset of gestational diabetes or to co-occur with it. Our aims were to compare the strength of association between common mental disorders of anxiety and depression (i) before pregnancy and (ii) during pregnancy in women with and without gestational diabetes. METHODS the sample comprised 12,239 women with 13,539 pregnancies from the UK's Born in Bradford cohort. Gestational diabetes was diagnosed by oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Indicators of common mental disorders were obtained from linked primary care records. Multivariable robust Poisson and logistic regression were employed. Multiple imputation by chained equations was implemented to handle missing data. Models were adjusted for maternal age, ethnicity, education and obstetric complications. Analyses of common mental disorders during pregnancy were additionally adjusted for maternal smoking, pre-pregnancy BMI, multiple pregnancy and common mental disorders prior to pregnancy. RESULTS there was no evidence for an association between common mental disorders prior to pregnancy and gestational diabetes (adjusted RR 0.96; 95% CI 0.80,1.15) or between gestational diabetes and common mental disorders during pregnancy (adjusted OR 0.91; 95% CI 0.73,1.12). LIMITATIONS high levels of deprivation and multi-ethnic composition of the cohort may limit generalisability of these findings to other populations. CONCLUSIONS routine primary care records did not identify an increased risk of gestational diabetes in women with common mental disorders prior to pregnancy or of gestational diabetes in women with common mental disorders during pregnancy.
