Yasuhara K, Morreale K, Talley D, Cooper DT, Hoy-Watkins M, Coker KL. Psychiatric disorders among employment requiring firearms. BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES & THE LAW 2023; 41:19-29. [PMID: 35445436 DOI: 10.1002/bsl.2570] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2022] [Revised: 03/14/2022] [Accepted: 03/28/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Individuals who carry guns as a requirement of employment frequently experience hazards that can be stress inducing, violent, traumatizing, or cause personal injury. This study used data from the Collaborative Psychiatric Epidemiological Surveys (CPES; n = 20,013), to examine mental health diagnoses of individuals that ever worked at a job requiring a firearm. Consistent with existing literature, the findings indicated that those who worked in professions requiring a firearm showed similar risk of mental health diagnoses as law enforcement officers which includes symptoms of trauma, mood disorders, and alcohol use. Further, race/ethnic differences emerged in patterns of mental health diagnoses, suggesting sociocultural differences influence diagnoses. These findings indicate the necessity for further investigation of the understudied area of mental health of those within employment positions that require firearms.

Status and Correlates of Hypersomnia in Hospitalized Patients with Unipolar Depression - Beijing, Henan, and Shandong, China, August 2019-March 2021. China CDC Wkly 2021; 3:879-882. [PMID: 34733575 PMCID: PMC8545603 DOI: 10.46234/ccdcw2021.217] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2021] [Accepted: 10/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC? Hypersomnia is an atypical characteristic of unipolar depression (UD), indicating a high risk of bipolar depression. Identifying the symptom should be prioritized in patients with UD. However, the status and correlated factors of hypersomnia greatly varied across investigations. WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT? Among inpatients with UD, the rate of hypersomnia was roughly 28.1% (39/139). Younger age (18-35 years) and recurrent depression were independent correlates of hypersomnia in hospitalized patients with UD. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE? Understanding the high rate and independent correlates of hypersomnia in hospitalized patients with UD will help clinicians and policymakers to identify characteristics of depression, strengthen the management capacity and improve the quality of treatment and control programs.
