BACKGROUND AND AIMS: There is some evidence that offspring of patients with schizophrenia have higher somatic morbidity, which is thought to be partially due to genetic links between somatic disorders and schizophrenia. This study explored differences in somatic diseases and conditions of adoptees with high genetic risk (HR) or low genetic risk (LR) for schizophrenia spectrum disorders. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study is part of the Finnish Adoptive Family Study of Schizophrenia...

BACKGROUND: Research on long-term pharmacotherapy for trauma-affected refugees is scarce. The purpose of this follow-up study of a randomised trial was to investigate the effects of sertraline compared to venlafaxine in combination with psychotherapy, 6 and 18 months after end of trial. METHOD: The primary outcome was PTSD symptoms, measured by the Harvard Trauma Questionnaire (HTQ). The secondary outcomes included: Hopkins Symptom Checklist-25 (HSCL-25), somatisation items of the Symptoms Checklist-90 (SCL), pain on a visual analogue scale, well-being on the WHO-5, Sheehan Disability Scale, Hamilton Depression and Anxiety scales and Global Assessment of Functioning...

AIMS: Our aim was to adapt the Clinical Institute of Withdrawal Assessment for Alcohol scale (CIWA-Ar) into Estonian and test its reliability and validity. METHODS: A total of 72 patients with alcohol withdrawal syndrome participated in the study. In order to assess the interrater reliability, at first assessment the CIWA-Ar was simultaneously completed by two nurses. In order to assess the sensitivity of the CIWA-Ar to the changes in the severity of the withdrawal syndrome, as well as its correlations to several indices characterizing the subjects' current condition, the CIWA-Ar, the Clinical Global Impression Severity subscale (CGI-S), the visual analogue scales for the assessment of the general feeling of malaise, anxiety and depression were filled in and the vital signs were measured at inclusion, in 4 h and after the withdrawal syndrome had been resolved...

PURPOSE: Negative symptoms are commonly regarded as a symptom dimension belonging to schizophrenia spectrum disorders but are also present in depression. The recently developed Clinical Assessment Interview for Negative Symptoms (CAINS) has shown to be reliable and valid. A corresponding self-report questionnaire has also been developed, named the Motivation and Pleasure Scale - Self Report (MAP-SR). The purpose was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Swedish version of the MAP-SR in patients with either schizophrenia or depression...

INTRODUCTION: The Hopkins Symptom Checklist-10 (HSCL-10) is a self-report inventory of anxiety and depression symptoms that may assist clinicians in screening for clinical conditions among patients with substance use disorder (SUD). We examined the HSCL-10 as a screening tool for anxiety and depressive disorders within a general population of SUD inpatients. METHODS: We used data from a cohort study of 611 SUD inpatients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses were conducted, with and without covariates, to evaluate the potential of the HSCL-10 as a screening tool...

PURPOSE: Smoking is the single factor with the highest impact on reducing life expectancy of patients with mental illness. Patients experience difficulty in participating in smoking cessation programs but are concerned about the impact of tobacco on their health and finances. Smoking cessation advice via videoconferencing might be an alternative to an ordinary in-person consultation. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Randomized controlled trial with follow-up at 6 months...

Purpose: Social support is important for maintaining and restoring psychological well-being but the effects of individual psychotherapies on perceived social support are not well known. In this analysis of secondary outcomes from a randomized clinical study, we compared the effects of long-term psychotherapy and two short-term psychotherapies on social support during a 5-year follow-up. Materials and methods: Altogether 326 adult outpatients suffering from depressive and/or anxiety disorders were randomly assigned to long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy (LPP, n  = 126), short-term psychodynamic psychotherapy (SPP, n  = 101) and solution-focused therapy (SFT, n  = 97)...

OBJECTIVES: Identification of comorbid attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in patients with bipolar disorder (BD) is complicated by overlapping cognitive symptoms and methodological challenges. This cross-sectional study investigated whether virtual reality (VR)-based cognitive assessment that mimics daily life cognitive challenges can aid in the detection of sustained attention impairment in BD individuals with comorbid ADHD (BD + ADHD). METHODS: Forty-nine fully or partially remitted outpatients with BD, of whom 14 (24%) had BD + ADHD, were assessed with the Cognition Assessment in Virtual Reality (CAVIR) test, including a sustained attention test that involves distractions, and the Screen for Cognitive Impairment in Psychiatry (SCIP)...
