John, Sneha V. "The portrayal of the Repercussions of Trauma and Depression in Literature and Popular Culture in Reference to Sylvia Plath’s Novel the Bell Jar." Indian Journal of Social Science and Literature 2, no. 3 (November 30, 2023): 16–19. http://dx.doi.org/10.54105/ijssl.c1055.032323.
Full textAbstract:
This paper explores the representation of trauma and depression in popular culture and literature, with a focus on Sylvia Plath's novel, "The Bell Jar." The study delves into the portrayal of traumatic experiences and their psychological impact, drawing on trauma theory in literature—an interdisciplinary field incorporating psychology, sociology, and cultural studies. Addressing the evolving societal discourse on trauma and depression, the paper examines how literature, film, music, and television contribute to a more open discussion of these once-taboo subjects. It emphasizes trauma's diverse forms, ranging from explicit events like war and abuse to subtler forms such as neglect. The universality of trauma is explored, demonstrating its lasting effects on mental health, relationships, and overall well-being. In particular, the research focuses on trauma theory in literature, analyzing how authors use their works to shed light on human experiences and social issues. The narrative techniques employed, such as flashbacks and symbolism, provide nuanced representations of the complex effects of trauma. Moreover, the paper considers the role of characters who have experienced trauma in shaping narratives and exploring psychological effects like depression and anxiety. Sylvia Plath serves as a key case study, with a detailed exploration of her life and works. Born in 1932, Plath's writing is characterized by its darkness, intensity, and confessional nature, reflecting her personal struggles, including the death of her father and her battles with mental health. Her novel, "The Bell Jar," published in 1963, is a focal point for examining the profound impact of trauma on an individual's life. This research contributes to the broader field of trauma theory in literature, offering insights into how writers and readers engage with traumatic experiences, emphasizing the importance of cultural and historical contexts. Ultimately, the study enhances our understanding of the human experience through the lens of trauma and depression in literature

Full textAbstract:
Background Social media has transformed the way health messages are communicated. This has created new challenges and ethical considerations while providing a platform to share nutrition information for communities to connect and for information to spread. However, research exploring the web-based diet communities of popular diets is limited. Objective This study aims to characterize the web-based discourse of popular diets, describe information dissemination, identify influential voices, and explore interactions between community networks and themes of mental health. Methods This exploratory study used Twitter social media posts for an online social network analysis. Popular diet keywords were systematically developed, and data were collected and analyzed using the NodeXL metrics tool (Social Media Research Foundation) to determine the key network metrics (vertices, edges, cluster algorithms, graph visualization, centrality measures, text analysis, and time-series analytics). Results The vegan and ketogenic diets had the largest networks, whereas the zone diet had the smallest network. In total, 31.2% (54/173) of the top users endorsed the corresponding diet, and 11% (19/173) claimed a health or science education, which included 1.2% (2/173) of dietitians. Complete fragmentation and hub and spoke messaging were the dominant network structures. In total, 69% (11/16) of the networks interacted, where the ketogenic diet was mentioned most, with depression and anxiety and eating disorder words most prominent in the “zone diet” network and the least prominent in the “soy-free,” “vegan,” “dairy-free,” and “gluten-free” diet networks. Conclusions Social media activity reflects diet trends and provides a platform for nutrition information to spread through resharing. A longitudinal exploration of popular diet networks is needed to further understand the impact social media can have on dietary choices. Social media training is vital, and nutrition professionals must work together as a community to actively reshare evidence-based posts on the web.

Full textAbstract:
Anxiety is a mental disorder of high prevalence, being a topic of attention since the earliest historical records. In Brazil, it affects all life aspects of 9.3% of the population. Conventional treatments, which are most effective, can have adverse effects. Therefore, there is a significant increase in demand for alternative therapies which are less "aggressive" and cheaper, like phytotherapy. Among the numerous plants indicated for the treatment of anxiety, it is worth highlighting Citrus aurantium popularly known as "bitter orange" or "sour orange". Studies show the influence of its essential oils and plant extracts on the central nervous system, especially in the control of anxiety and depression. Although the use of plants, as a form of disease treatment and prevention, is an ancient practice, their indications are often based especially on popular knowledge. Thus, scientific evidence and studies are needed to ensure safety and efficacy in the use of plant species. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanism of action of Citrus aurantium in anxiety disorders. A bibliographical revision was carried out in health scientific databases using the descriptors “Citrus aurantium”, individually and, combined with the following descriptors “anxiety”, “central nervous system”, “mental disorders” and “mechanism of action”. Articles searched based on titles, abstracts, and year of publication (2010-2020), and those that did not address the anxiolytic effect of the species and/or its mechanism of action were excluded. We found 151 articles and considered for the review 16 articles that met the inclusion criteria. Although there are few works that study and prove the anxiolytic effect of Citrus aurantium, the vast majority of them only mention possible mechanisms of action. Analyzing the results reviewed, it was possible to observe that Citrus aurantium acts positively on anxiety, probably, as suggests the studies, through serotonergic pathway.

Vestnik nevrologii, psihiatrii i nejrohirurgii (Bulletin of Neurology, Psychiatry and Neurosurgery), no. 2 (February 22, 2024): 236–49. http://dx.doi.org/10.33920/med-01-2402-07.
Full textAbstract:
More than sixty scales have been developed for the diagnosis and treatment of degenerative pathology of the cervical spine from the perspective of neurological syndromes. The use of most of these in clinical practice is limited. The purpose of this study is to highlight the most popular scales for assessing degenerative changes of the cervical spine from the perspective of neurological syndromes in the diagnosis and determination of treatment tactics for single-segment stenosis of the spinal canal at the cervical level. The current clinical guidelines “Degenerative Spine Diseases” 2021 use the Neck Disability Index, the Visual Analog Scale, and the Frankel Grade among all scales. MEDLINE (PubMed) and Google Scholar were searched from 1972 to 2023 using the key words “cervical spine degeneration”. The initial search identified more than 13,000 articles. This review included 52 studies in which the analysis of clinical and neurological data was carried out using scoring scales for assessing neurological syndromes and functional status in degenerative spinal stenoses at the cervical level. The validity, reliability, and applicability of the scales in clinical practice were analyzed and compared. Based on the analysis of literature data, the most rational scales to use from the standpoint of validity, reliability, and time consumption are the Visual Analog Scale for pain assessment, the Neck Disability Index for assessing cervical radiculopathy, the European Myelopathy Score to assess cervical myelopathy, the Neck Pain and Disability Scale to assess functional outcomes, and the Hospital Anxiet y and Depression Scale for mental status assessment.

Full textAbstract:
Alter ego is a condition of someone who creates a new character with a conscious state. Original character role play is a game to create new imaginary characters that is used as research material for identification alter ego accounts. The negative effects of playing alter ego are stress, depression, and multiple personalities. Current research only focuses on the phenomenon and impacts of a role-playing game. We propose a new method to detect accounts of alter ego players in social media, especially Twitter. We develop an application to analyze the characteristics of alter ego accounts. Psychologists can use this application to discover the characteristics of alter ego accounts that are useful for analyzing personality so that the results can be used to appropriately handle alter ego players. Most user profiles, tweets, and platforms are used to detect account Twitter. This research proposes a new method using bio features as input data. We crawled and collected 565 bios from Twitter for one month. We observe the data to search for unique words and collect them into a classification dictionary. In this research, we use the cosine similarity method because this method is popular for detecting text and has a good performance in many cases. This research could identify alter ego accounts and other types of Twitter accounts. From the detection results of alter ego accounts, it is possible to analyze the characteristics of Twitter accounts. We use a sampling technique that takes 30% of the data as testing data. According to the results of the experiment cosine similarity obtained an accuracy of 0.95.

"#selfharn on Instagram: understanding online communities surrounding non-suicidal self-injury through conversations and common properties among authors." DIGITAL HEALTH 6 (January 2020): 205520762092238. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/2055207620922389.
Full textAbstract:
Objectives #selfharm has been blocked by Instagram, but manoeuvring hashtags (e.g. #selfharn) are beginning to appear in order for secret non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) communities to communicate. The purpose of this study was to (a) determine the nature of the #selfharn conversation on Instagram, (b) analyze common properties of the visual content (i.e. images and videos; n = 93) tagged with #selfharn, and (c) discover what kind of environment the authors ( n = 50) of #selfharn were creating. Methods A multi-method approach was utilized for this study. Netlytic was used to generate a text and content analysis to examine the authors’ captions and comments ( n = 8772) associated with #selfharn (collected over a seven-day period). Results After removing #selfharn from the dataset, the text analysis revealed that #depression ( n = 3081) and #suicide ( n = 2270) were the most commonly used terms associated with #selfharn. Overall, 52% ( n = 4386) of the popular words/phrases related with #selfharn posts were categorized as ‘bad feelings’. Through manual coding, it was determined that the majority of #selfharn visual content ( n = 92; 99%) did not generate an advisory warning but did contain a wound ( n = 70; 75%). The #selfharn author analysis suggests that most were women ( n = 18; 36%) with a dark-coloured profile aesthetic ( n = 37; 74%) determined by an overwhelming amount of grey, black, blue, red, or purple colours. Conclusion According to the text and content analyses, #selfharn on Instagram may be contributing negatively to an online community of mental-health issues. More resources should be provided by Instagram to those who are involved in the NSSI Instagram community.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the motivations of cyberbullies and characteristics of cyberbullying on TikTok. Past research explains that a key indicator of cyberbullying is moral disengagement. Researchers found that the lack of empathy is a factor in cyberbullying. Cyberbullying can negatively influence the mental health of people according to research, and is oftentimes correlated with depression. However, these studies only focus on social media as a whole and do not highlight the comment culture of TikTok and the content of these comments. Therefore, a content analysis was conducted to analyze the words and creators used to convey hate. This study answered the following research question: “What are the characteristics of cyberbullying on TikTok based on the comments left on the content creator's posts?” The sample was selected through purposeful random sampling and the participants were split into two groups: the content creators and the commenters. There were 7 content creators and 37 comments. The content of the comments were coded and organized into eleven relevant codes. These codes were then categorized into three themes: Comments Regarding Creators’ Appearance, Comments Regarding Creators’ Intellect, and Comments Impacting the Creators’ Psychological Well-Being. To ensure the validity of this study the codes were peer reviewed and rich thick descriptions are provided to uphold the integrity of these comments. Commenters mainly used mockery as a way to humble content creators especially when the content creators were trying to uplift themes. The majority of these commenters utilize profile pictures that did represent themselves most likely to avoid the consequences of their comments. The population most comfortable commenting as themselves was black women, especially when it was under posts of other black women. The demographics of this study was limited and would be best if there was more diversity, the nature of comment sections based on ethnicities could have an influence on the hate comments. This study could be useful for the education system and parents because they deal with adolescents who may be experiencing cyberbullying on the popular social media site, TikTok.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Nutritional psychiatry is an emerging field of research and it is currently exploring the impact of nutrition and obesity on brain function and mental illness. Prior studies links between obesity, nutrition and depression among women. However, less is known how food insecurity may moderate that relationship. Methods: Data were employed from the Collaborative Psychiatric Epidemiology Surveys (CPES), 2001-2003. Two logistic regression models were Logistic regression was used to determine the association between obesity, gender, food insecurity, and past year Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). We then stratified by gender, and tested the association between obesity and past year MDD, and if food insecurity moderated the association. Results: Obesity was associated with an increased risk for past year Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) among females (AOR = 1.35; 95% CI 1.17-1.55) and was not associated among males (AOR = 1.07; 95% CI, 0.86-1.32). Women who reported that reported both obesity and food insecurity reported higher odds of past year MDD episode (AOR = 3.16; 95% CI, 2.36-4.21, than women who did not report food insecurity (AOR = 1.08; 95% CI, 1.02-1.38). Conclusion: With rising rates of mental health problems, females should be closely monitored to understand how poor diets, food insecurity, and obesity play a role in mental health outcomes. It is recommended that clinicians and treatment providers consider the patient's diet and access to nutritious foods when conducting their assessment.

Full textAbstract:
Objectives. Describe older patients’ perceptions about depression and characteristics associated with acceptance of treatments. Design. Cross-sectional study. Setting. Three primary care clinics in Iowa. Participants. Consecutive sample of 529 primary care patients. Measurements. Depression screening tool (a 9-item patient health questionnaire [PHQ-9]) and questionnaire including sociodemographic data, patient attitudes about depression, and acceptability of different treatments. Results. Mean age was 71.9 years (range 60–93 years), 314 (59%) female. Among the 529 participants, 93 (17.5%) had history of depression and 60 (11.3%) had PHQ-9 scores of 10 or greater. Participants believed depression is a disease for which they would use medication and counseling. Accepting medications from primary physicians was strongly associated with a past history of depression (P < 0.01) and with agreeing that depression needs treatment (P < 0.01). Counseling was not acceptable for those believing that they can control depression on their own (P < 0.01). Older patients (P < 0.001) and those with higher education levels (P < 0.01) were less likely to accept herbs or supplements as treatment options. Willingness to discuss treatments with family was associated with not using alcohol as a treatment and acceptance of all other treatment options (P < 0.001). Conclusions. Attitude that depression is a disease and the willingness to discuss depression with family may enhance treatment acceptance.

"Wearable Sensors Outperform Behavioral Coding as Valid Marker of Childhood Anxiety and Depression." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2018. https://dc.etsu.edu/etsu-works/7702.
Full textAbstract:
There is a significant need to develop objective measures for identifying children under the age of 8 who have anxiety and depression. If left untreated, early internalizing symptoms can lead to adolescent and adult internalizing disorders as well as comorbidity which can yield significant health problems later in life including increased risk for suicide. To this end, we propose the use of an instrumented fear induction task for identifying children with internalizing disorders, and demonstrate its efficacy in a sample of 63 children between the ages of 3 and 7. In so doing, we extract objective measures that capture the full six degree-of-freedom movement of a child using data from a belt-worn inertial measurement unit (IMU) and relate them to behavioral fear codes, parent-reported child symptoms and clinician-rated child internalizing diagnoses. We find that IMU motion data, but not behavioral codes, are associated with parent-reported child symptoms and clinician-reported child internalizing diagnosis in this sample. These results demonstrate that IMU motion data are sensitive to behaviors indicative of child psychopathology. Moreover, the proposed IMU-based approach has increased feasibility of collection and processing compared to behavioral codes, and therefore should be explored further in future studies.

Coppock, Mary Jane. "Polarizing Narratives: Harmful Representations of Mental Illness and Bipolar in Popular Media." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2017. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/scripps_theses/953.
Full textAbstract:
Representations of mental illness in mainstream media have historically been infantilizing and dangerous. In the last century, dominant media has perpetuated inaccurate and damaging tropes about bipolar disorder in particular, perpetuating misunderstanding and stigma. Despite this fact, art can provide an outlet through which healthy images that promote understanding and sympathy can be dispersed. My project, Polarized, presents a more accurate representation of the disorder and its effects on individuals who struggle with it, as well as their loved ones. Bipolar disorders are a group of mental illnesses that cause dramatic shifts in an individual’s mood, energy, thinking ability, and sexual drive. In popular media, bipolar is represented in a number of different problematic ways ranging from childishness to irrational violence, which provide damaging stereotypes of the bipolar community and ultimately serve to further ostracize the bipolar community. Polarized’s critique of representations of disability in hegemonic discourse is informed by true stories and histories of mental illness. The short’s narrative is fictional, inspired by my own experience as a young woman with Bipolar II and augmented with the research and memoirs of manic-depressive diagnosed clinician Kay Jamison as written in An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Depression is one of the most common mental disorders in the United States (U.S.). Annually, approximately 7% of adults and 3% of children were diagnosed with depression. The rates of depression are generally high among adults, however since past decade the depression among adolescents has been increasing progressively. According to the National Comorbidity Survey, about 11 % of adolescents annually reported to have a depressive disorder by age 18 years. Several studies have been conducted to understand depression in middle-aged and older-adults, while limited studies on adolescents. 2015 Appalachian Student Research Forum Page 65 The study aimed to estimate prevalence of depression among adolescents in the U.S. and identify key factors associated with it. Methods: Data (n=44,879) was obtained from the 2012 National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH). In the data Depression is defined as a mental disorder, marked by loss of interest or pleasure, sadness, feeling of low self-worth along with disturbed sleep or appetite. Based on existing literature, several selected adolescent characteristics and disease outcomes were included as potential risk factors of depression including age, gender, race, asthma, diabetes, learning disability and exposure to adverse family experiences. Descriptive statistics were reported using frequencies and proportions along with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Multiple logistic regression model was performed to assess relationship of risk factors with depression in adolescents adjusting for other confounders. Results: Overall 6.4% of adolescents aged 10-17 years reported either prior symptom or current diagnosis of depression. Depression rates were 6.5% and 6.3% among male and female adolescents, 9.6%, 11.8% and 68.8% among non-Hispanic blacks, Hispanics and non-Hispanic whites, respectively. For every one year increase in age, the relative odds of depression increased by 19% (OR 1.19, 95% CI 1.17-1.21). Adolescents who reported physician diagnosis of asthma and diabetes were more likely to have depression (asthma - OR 2.22, 95%CI 2.05-2.42, diabetes- OR 3.23, 95%CI 2.45-4.25) than those who were not. In addition, those with learning disability were more likely to have depression (OR 5.56 95%CI 5.13 6.02) than those who were not. For increase in one adverse family experience, the risk of depression increased by 158.7% (OR 2.59 95% CI 2.46 2.72). Gender and race were not found to be not significantly associated with depression. Conclusion: The study illustrates that depression in adolescents is interplay between demographic characteristics, disease outcomes and personal/family experiences. Study findings help identify important etiological factors that must be considered during treatment and prognosis of depression among adolescents in the U.S.

Barton, Alison L., and Jameson K. Hirsch. "Permissive Parenting and Mental Health in College Students: Mediating Effects of Academic Entitlement." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2016. https://dc.etsu.edu/etsu-works/655.
Full textAbstract:
Objective: Student mental health may suffer due to unreasonable expectations associated with academic entitlement; permissive parenting may be one source of these expectations. The authors examined the role of academic entitlement as a mediator of the relationship between permissive parenting and psychological functioning. Participants: Participants were 524 undergraduate students at a single institution (52% female; age range = 18–22). Data collection was completed in May 2011. Methods: Cross-sectional design. Participants completed online self-report measures of parenting styles, academic entitlement, stress, depressive symptoms, and well-being. Results: Permissive parenting was associated with greater academic entitlement and, in turn, to more perceived stress and poorer mental health. Mother/father differences were found in some cases. Conclusions: Academic entitlement may partially explain why permissive parenting is detrimentally related to mental health for college students. Implications for academic affairs and counseling include helping students develop an appreciation of the role of self-regulation in college success.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: Levels of student depression may increase as stress increases; parenting styles may be one indirect source of stress. The authors examined the role of parenting style in relationship to student stress, anxiety, and depression, with focused attention on gender differences.
Participants: Participants were 290 undergraduate students (58% female, mean age = 19).
Methods: Cross-sectional design. Participants completed surveys containing measures of parenting styles, college stress, anxiety, and depression.
Results: Anxiety and stress acted as mediators between some maternal parenting styles and female student depression. No mediational relationships were found for male student ratings.
Conclusions: Daughters may be more susceptible to the influences of maternal parenting styles, which can either prepare or fail to prepare them for management and avoidance of stressors that are encountered during the college transition. College counseling centers and student affairs personnel may wish to focus attention on the instruction of self-management and problem-solving skills for incoming students.

Methods. Cross-sectional study using a self-administered questionnaire and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) diagnostic survey on 1115 patients aged 60–93 years who attended a primary care clinic in Korea, Russia or USA.
Results. At least mild depression (PHQ-9 score of ≥5) occurred in 28% of Koreans, 65% of Russian and 27% of US participants. Russians scored more depressed on all PHQ-9 items (P < 0.01) and more suicidal thoughts (P < 0.001), while Koreans had less feelings of worthlessness (P < 0.001). Depression predictors included poorer self-rated health [odds ratio (OR) 2.47, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.84–3.33, P < 0.0001], chronic diseases (OR 1.34, CI 1.21–1.48, P < 0.0001), female gender (OR 1.56, CI 1.15–2.12, P = 0.0046) and religious attendance (OR 0.88, CI 0.79–0.97, P = 0.0099) for all subjects. Being employed was protective in Korea (OR 0.41, CI 0.21–0.77, P = 0.0061) and being married (OR 0.42, CI 0.27–0.66, P = 0.0002) and of older age (OR 0.95, CI 0.93–0.98, P = 0.0006) protective in US participants. Vascular disease was associated with depressive symptoms in Russia (OR 3.47, CI 1.23–9.80, P = 0.0187). In regression analyses stratified by country for a given level of depressive symptoms, the Russian sample had less impact on daily activities (Russia R2 = 0.107 versus Korea R2 = 0.211 and US R2 = 0.419) P = 0.029.
Conclusions. Depressive symptoms were more common in Russia than in Korea and USA but had less impact on daily functioning. Cultural or environmental factors may account for this finding.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Group work has become a popular method of providing mental health services in today’s managed mental health care environment (MacKenzie, 1996; Rosenberg and Zimet, 1995). This method is being used for a great variety of mental health problems, from depression and anxiety disorders to treatment of persons with more severe mental illness, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorders. Severe personality disorders can be just as debilitating as any of these Axis I disorders, and many clients are diagnosed with both (American Psychiatric Association, 1994; Benjamin, 1993). Personality disorders can be a challenge to provide services for in even the most resource-rich environment and can seem virtually impossible to serve in a managed care environment. Among the personality disorders, the borderline syndrome is often considered the most intractable and difficult to treat (Gabbard, 1998).

Machines are getting intelligent day by day. Modern science has gifted us many boons but simultaneously the mental, physical and spiritual disorders have surprisingly disturbed smile, peace and definite attitude and lifestyle of individual and all human beings. The stress has been the biggest challenge against mankind like nuclear weapons, global warming, and epidemics. It leads towards tension, frustration, and depression and ultimately in extreme cases towards the suicide or murder of innocents. The happiness index, safety of individual, living parameters have drastically challenged us and India specially has pathetic situation among global quality of life (QoL) index. This chapter is an effort to define a simulated model and framework for the subjective quality of stress into quantitative parameters and mathematically analyzing it with help of popular machine learning tools and applied methods. Using machine intelligence, authors are trying to establish a framework which may work as an expert system and may help the individual to grow self as better human being.

In this paper, Winnicott decries the development of the practices of convulsion therapy and leucotomy. He urges further research on the psychological effects of convulsion therapy, exploring the patient’s conscious and unconscious reactions to the idea of such therapy and their experience of it. He concludes that physical therapies express society’s unconscious reactions to insanity, and that depression is the illness of valuable people.

Full textAbstract:
The words ‘schizophrenia’ and ‘schizophrenic’ are often misused in daily conversation, in literature and film, and even in the popular news media. They mean different things to different people: an attitude of mind, a type of personality, or a psychiatric illness. For example, someone who can’t make up his mind, or who has feelings of both love and hate for something, may be falsely called schizophrenic (‘ambivalent’ is the more proper term). In some cultures, especially in the past, schizophrenia was seen as a sign of possession by an evil spirit or even as a sign of religious superiority. Individuals with schizophrenia were either punished or praised in accord with the beliefs of their culture.Today, the most common misconception is that a person with schizophrenia has a ‘split’ personality or multiple personalities. Examples of this in film include Me, Myself, and Irene, in which the main character is diagnosed with ‘advanced delusionary schizophrenia with involuntary narcissistic rage’ instead of what appears to be dissociative identity (formerly known as multiple personality) disorder. Even films that do a decent job depicting schizophrenia can get some aspects wrong; for example, A Beautiful Mind, which we earlier cited as a relatively well-done depiction of the disorder, also misses the mark by exaggerating the role of visual hallucinations of full- figure humans in guiding the main character through various and extensive ‘missions’.The correct use of the word ‘schizophrenia’ is as a diagnostic term used to define a specific mental condition based on clear criteria. As described in our chapters on symptoms and on how schizophrenia is diagnosed, differential diagnosis is essential; that is, determining if the symptoms are really indicative of schizophrenia or of other conditions. Recognizing if mood disturbances (including depression and/ or mania), delusions (particularly grandiosity and delusions of sin or guilt), hallucinations, and disorganization are not actually reflective of a mood disorder, substance use disorder, or developmental or neurological disorder is essential, since each type of disorder has a different treatment. Furthermore, it is vital to consider cultural context when determining if behaviour is truly bizarre and qualifies for a diagnosis or is simply normal within the individual’s social setting.

Abstract Since the l 960s self-actualization has been a popular symbol for people critical of established culture. The works of Abraham Maslow remain readily available, and it is these books more than anything else that has shaped the understanding of self-actualization. Given the countercultural context for the championing of this personal ideal, it is not surprising that researchers have tended to assume that established religion is inimical to self-actualization.

Full textAbstract:
Depression has become a public health issue, and the high comorbidity rate with anxiety worsens the clinical picture. Early identification is crucial for decisions on the proper line of treatment. The use of social networks to expose personal difficulties has enabled works on the automatic identification of specific mental conditions, particularly depression. This paper explores deep learning techniques to develop an ensemble stacking classifier for the automatic identification of depression, anxiety, and their comorbidity, using a self-diagnosed dataset extracted from Reddit. At the lowest level, binary classifiers make predictions about specific disorders, outperforming all baseline models. A meta-learner explores these weak classifiers as a context for reaching a multi-label decision, achieving a Hamming Loss of 0.29 and Exact Match Ratio of 0.47. We performed a qualitative analysis using SHAP, which confirmed the relationship between the influential features and symptoms of these disorders.

Full textAbstract:
Depression is a significant mental health disorder affecting millions of individuals globally. Detecting depressive symptoms from written texts, especially on social media platforms like Twitter, has received considerable attention. In this paper, we present a comparative analysis of machine learning and deep learning algorithms for depression detection on Twitter. We propose an innovative approach that integrates a multilayer Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) architecture with a Multi-Head Attention component. Our approach achieves up to 99% across all key metrics, including accuracy, recall, F1- score, and precision. However, it should be noted that these high scores are obtained in certain instances, thus being highly competitive compared to other relevant works. Despite facing challenges such as imbalanced datasets and user-annotated data, these remarkable results mark a promising advancement in the field of text-based depression detection.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Depression is one of the major mental disorders experienced by people of various age groups and works of life all over the world. Those in the medical field are not excluded. With the intense training and high level of physical, mental and emotional demands placed on medical students, they tend to become depressed. This not only affects their learning process or overall academic performance; it also affects them professionally in the future, which in turn would lead to compromise in patient care. In The Gambia, there is a lack of data on the prevalence of depression and the impacts it has on medical students. Thus, this study assessed the prevalence of depression among students of the American International University West Africa (AIUWA), The Gambia. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among medical students of AIUWA over a two-month period (June to July 2021). A self-structured questionnaire was used to obtain information on sociodemographic characteristics. Diagnosis of depression was assessed using the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). A total of 100 students were included in this study. Data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26. Results: The overall prevalence of depression among the participants was 36%, with PHQ-9 scores ≥ 10. With regards to the severity of depression, 26 (26%), 21 (21%), 11 (11%), and 4(4%) students were classified as having mild, moderate, moderately severe, and severe depression respectively. Efficiency of monthly allowance (p = 0.022, Φ = 0.251, V= 0.251), self-rated academic performance (p = 0.012, Φ = 0.297, V = 0.297) and prior history of depression (p = 0.001, Φ = 0.347, V = 0.347), were independently associated with depression. Conclusion: The prevalence of depression among medical students of the American International University, is high, and is associated with inefficient monthly allowance, consumption of alcohol, average academic performance and prior history of depression. It is recommended that there should be an implementation of a guidance and counseling department within the university., Keywords: Depression, Medical Students, AIUWA, University, West Africa Proceedings Reference Format

Mindfulness as a term comes from Buddhist traditions, translating as awareness, concentration or remembrance. Western neuroscientists define mindfulness practices as a combination of emotional and attentional training regimes that help cultivate physical and psychological well-being and improve emotional regulation while noting neurobiological changes in the brain. The formal introduction of oriental ways of thinking into western philosophy, psychology and medicine happened decades ago, generating a large spectrum of discussions and scientific works concerning the therapeutic applications of mindfulness practice. Basing our presentation on a thorough study of scientific papers, we propose a synthesis of the theoretical aspects related to mindfulness and a new perspective regarding its applications in clinical psychiatric care. The modern occidental approaches of the practice are adapted into methods used in cognitive therapy based on mindfulness. The benefits of formal practice proven from the neurological perspective are the result of a less reactive autonomic nervous system. Regulation of attention, body awareness, regulation of emotions, increased capacity of adaptation is just a few of the mechanisms involved. Therefore, it is integrated into western psychotherapy as an adjunctive or alternative method of treatment for several psychiatric disorders among which are depression, anxiety, substance use, smoking cessation, insomnia. In conclusion, mindfulness has shown to have great promise in clinical application, and the hope is to be used in the future with the purpose of improving mental and physical wellbeing and quality of life.

Full textAbstract:
The term design, used in the English language but whose origin goes back to Latin, “designare”, concentrates in itself a double meaning, that of “designating” and “drawing”. The concept of design entered the present world of communication and globalization from the nineteenth century through the three interconnected historical global processes: “Industrialization”, “Modern Urbanization” and “Globalization”, thus giving birth to a new form of represent and convey knowledge. Knowledge, in all contexts and situations, will only have to be available to everyone, in terms of ergonomics (but inclusive), accessibility and usability. Design, in a context of social equity, works on the needs of each individual and the same individual in the community, thus, it can be perceived as a tool that allows transforming spaces, equipment, and environments, according to the target audience requirements.As contemporary societies face global changes, so do the individuals. Studies show an increase of about 25% in cases of anxiety and depression in young people, motivated by the pandemic caused by Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID 19). UNICEF alerts of the high impact, on the mental health and well-being of children and young people, that the confinements, resulting from the current pandemic, continues to cause, as well as some type of loss in terms of education, in more than 1,6 billion children, as stated by Lusa (2021). The school emerges as a lifesaver, a space for education, socialization, and therapy, although not always equipped for the current reality that the world is going through. The classroom gives way to the therapy room, within the school itself, where students learn to deal with the new reality. Design emerges as an enabling tool to create suitable spaces for this new learning process. We intend to analyze existing cases, using a mixed theoretical, qualitative, and quantitative methodology, based on case study, survey and interviews, with the aim to assess the real potential of these therapy rooms in schools, their usability, and benefits for target audience. This article suggests a reflection on a concept of social design, for all, which may amaze everyone from the observational point of view, of sensoriocognitive comfort, in their contemplation and intellection in the hypothetical, revitalizing and multisensory ergonomic enjoyment of its beauty and personal and collective well-being. It is in this sense that we will make a journey through the “vital” importance that design represents for the human being as an integrating factor in society, in a conceptual perspective for the user, for his senses and multisensory, in the contexts and somatosensory and synesthetic situations, focusing on sensory and multisensory perception, where space, equipment, colour, and feeling take place.
