Objective: The lower expressing allele of the serotonin transporter gene 5′ promoter region (5-HTTLPR) polymorphism is reported to be associated with susceptibility depression and suicidality in response stressful life events. authors examined relationship a triallelic 5-HTTLPR events, severity major depression, suicidality. Method: Mood disorder subjects (N=191) healthy volunteers (N=125), all Caucasian European origin, were genotyped for (higher allele: L A ; alleles: G , S). All underwent...
Suicide is a major public health problem in the WHO European Region accounting for over 150,000 deaths per year. SUICIDAL CRISIS: Acute intervention should start immediately order to keep patient alive.An underlying psychiatric disorder present up 90% of people who completed suicide. Comorbidity with depression, anxiety, substance abuse and personality disorders high. In achieve successful prevention suicidality, adequate diagnostic procedures appropriate treatment are essential.Existing...
OBJECTIVE: The authors studied weight gain mechanisms and energy balance in patients treated with olanzapine. METHOD: body mass index of male schizophrenic adolescent inpatients olanzapine (N=10) 10 matched haloperidol were measured at baseline after 4 weeks treatment. For the olanzapine, caloric intake, resting expenditure, physical activity (determined through accelerometry heart rate monitoring) assessed RESULTS: Body significantly increased those but not given haloperidol. increase was...
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic presents us with unusual challenges to the global health system and economics. may not have an immediate impact on suicide rates, however, given that it is likely result in a confluence of risk factors for economic crisis, highly possibly will lead increases rates long-run. Elderly persons are more live alone, be socially isolated during COVID-19 physical problems, which suicide. Young children professionals also population at risk. Isolation, quarantine...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Accumulating evidence suggests that cannabidiol (CBD) may be an effective and safe anxiolytic agent potentially also antidepressant. <b><i>Aim:</i></b> The objective of this study was to further examine these properties CBD using the ‘depressive-like' Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rat, focusing on drug's effect anhedonia-like behaviors. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Forty-eight WKY 48 control Wistar adult male...
Dysfunction of the serotonin (5-HT1A) receptor (5-HTR1A) has been implicated in mood disorders, anxiety psychosis and action antidepressants. A common C(-1018)G [C(-1019)G] functional polymorphism promoter region human 5-HT1A gene reported, which may be useful identifying psychopathology associated with altered function receptor. We studied relationship this to binding prefrontal cortex. The genotype for C(-1019)G was typed 696 unrelated psychiatric subjects, 107 healthy volunteers,...
Objectives. Suicide is partly heritable but the responsible genes have not been identified. We conducted a gene-centric, low coverage single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) pilot genome-wide association study (GWAS) seeking new candidate regions in suicides with and without depression, combined gene expression assay of brain tissue. Methods. Ninety-nine Caucasian subjects, including 68 who completed suicide 31 died suddenly from other causes, were genotyped postmortem using GeneChip® Mapping...
Both adolescent suicide and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are troubling phenomena with high comorbidity, including impulsivity, depression personality disorders (PD). Studies on the association between these two relatively rare. This pilot study's aim was to estimate rate of ADHD in adolescents attempting suicide.Subjects constituted consecutive admissions psychiatric emergency room (ER) who were admitted as a result suicide. Assessment included use Kiddie-SADS, Strengths...
Objectives. Suicidal behaviour runs in families. This study evaluated association between common polymorphisms the serotonergic and adrenergic candidate genes (HTR2A, 5HTTLPR, MAOA) suicidality, psychopathology aggression adolescents. Methods. Four groups of adolescents were included: (N=35) non-suicidal (N=30) psychiatric inpatients, suicide attempters admitted to three emergency rooms (N=51) a community-based control group (N=95). All genotyped underwent psychological assessment for...
Awareness of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults has been growing over the last decade. One most interesting issues related to this topic is these adults' self-awareness their ADHD symptoms and estimation own impairments. Our hypothesis while studying young adult populations was that there would be a significant difference between self-report clinical assessment.One hundred three students volunteered for study. In order validate our screening questionnaire (ADHD-SQ),...
Few studies have investigated the association between religiosity and self-injurious thoughts behaviors specifically in adolescents, yielding inconsistent results. To date, no study has examined this relationship a Jewish adolescent cohort.Self-injurious behaviors, as well depression, were assessed nationally representative sample of adolescents (n=620) their mothers, using Development Well-Being Assessment Inventory (DAWBA) structured interview. Degree was obtained by self-report...
