Aims The Lopez-Ibor Foundation launched an initiative to study the possible impact of crisis on European Method Data was gathered analysed from 29 countries included number deaths by men women, unemployment rate, gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, annual growth rate inflation. Results There strong correlation rates all indices except GPD capita but only with women. However,...
Article AbstractObjective: Predictors of treatment response to serotonergic versus nonserotonergic, e.g., noradrenergic, antidepressants are considerable clinical relevance as they could help reduce the occurrence patients†receiving weeks or even months unsuccessful treatment. Several studies show that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors can be successfully predicted by using loudness dependence auditory evoked potentials (LDAEP), which denotes change in amplitudes different stimulus...
It is well known that suicidal rates vary considerably among European countries and the reasons for this are unknown, although several theories have been proposed. The effect of economic variables has extensively studied but not climate. Data from 29 covering years 2000–2012 concerning male female standardized (according to WHO), World Bank) climate were gathered. statistical analysis included cluster principal component categorical regression. derived models explained 62.4 % variability...
Guilt and shame are important universal social emotions that fundamentally shape the way people interact with each other. Mental illness such as depressive disorder (DD) or alcohol addiction (AA) is therefore often related to pronounced dysfunctional feelings of guilt.

To assess proneness for guilt shame, IGQ, SCV scale,...

Introduction: Lithium has been found to be very effective in prophylactic treatment of affective disorders. However, approximately one-third patients do not respond this treatment, which does become apparent until after a year or more treatment. Therefore, predictors are needed avoid long and unsuccessful therapy with risk severe side effects. Since lithium acts as serotonin agonist predictor being able identify low serotonergic activity, who may responders lithium, is promising. To...
Despite the numerous findings on altered emotion recognition and dysfunctional social interaction behavior of depressive patients, a lot relationships are not clearly clarified.In this pilot study, 20 patients (mean±SD, 38.4±14.2) healthy subjects 38.9±15.3) (each in dyads) were videographed. We then analyzed their processing terms recognition, own emotional experience, expression emotions under conditions semi-structured experimental paradigm.Patients showed more significant impairment...
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can serve as a tool to experimentally test hypotheses of prefrontal cortex (PFC) modulation emotions. The present study used rTMS whether self-rated mood and emotionally induced facial expressions are hemispherically lateralized depending on their valence, indicated by previous studies. Healthy volunteers underwent self-rating computerized analysis before after left or right PFC. Facial expression revealed changes rTMS, whereas subjective...
