Abstract:
The article reveals the problematic issues of selecting athletes with mental and physical disabilities to participate in official all-Ukrainian and international Paralympic sports competitions. It has been established that the solution to this problem prompts the study of the peculiarities of the classification of athletes with mental and physical disabilities in order to allow them to compete. It has been proven that one of the best means of strengthening mental and physical health is physical education. For people with disabilities, this is an adaptive sport, which is aimed at the formation of athletic skills in people with mental disabilities and their achievement of high results in various types of sports. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the classification of athletes with mental and physical disabilities according to the existing international rules for specific types of sports. The minimum classification standard for admission to competitions in athletics, table tennis and swimming for athletes with mental and physical disabilities has been developed, intended for national application level during the all-Ukrainian qualifying and final competitions, All-Ukrainian Spartakiade among children with disabilities “Believe in yourself”, Ukrainian table tennis championships and cups in accordance with the Virtus guidelines. The minimum classification standard takes into account the specifics of the procedure of psychological classification of athletes with mental and physical disabilities which is carried out on the basis of current documents and Virtus recommendations. The minimum classification standard allows to algorithmize the classification procedure of athletes with mental and physical disabilities taking into account its crucial importance for determining the right to participate in competitions.

Abstract:
Introduction: Due to an increasing prevalence of mental disorders among the population, many health programs have been developed to deal with this problem. These programs include physical activity in their guidelines, because of the extensive evidence that shows its importance in psychological well-being. The main objective of our study is to analyze the influence of physical exercise on the development of mental health problems in people older than 55 years old, because eld is considered a critical phase in terms of the changes that occur. Methodology: A cross-sectional study has been carried out to analyze the association between physical activity and the development of mental disorders, as well as its relationship with other variables, based on the data provided by the European Health Survey (Spain, 2020). Results: Between the results obtained in the sample, it was found with a significant difference, that being a woman, a sedentary lifestyle, having primary education or no studies, as well as obesity and tobacco consumption behaved as risk factors. The practice of physical activity and having higher education were protective factors against development of mental disorders. Conclusions: Physical inactivity is a risk factor for the development of mental health disorders. However, psychological well-being depends on multiple factors that may act jointly, so it is necessary to analyze the influence of other variables in this association.

Abstract:
Relevance. Physical and mental health indicators play a major role in assessing patients' quality of life. The quality of life deteriorates with the development of post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD), and it directly affects patients' health.
 Objective: to investigate changes in indicators of quality of life among patients with PTSD.
 Materials and methods. 22 young patients participated in the study. The MOS SF-36 International Quality of Life Questionnaire and the Mississippi Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Rating Scale (civilian version) have been used.
 Results. According to the results of the Mississippi Scale, the patients were divided into three groups: 1 (n=4) – without PTSD symptoms, 2 (n=13) – with mental disorders, and 3 (n=5) – with PTSD symptoms. In each of the above mentioned groups, the MOS SF-36 quality of life test has been conducted. According to its results, it was determined that group 2 had lower quality of life indicators (physical and mental health components) compared to the first group, but higher compared to the third group.
 Conclusion. Manifestations of PTSD directly affect the quality of life of patients. Patients with PTSD and mental disorders reported lower indicators of physical and mental components of health.

Abstract:
SUMMARYStress-related disorders are diverse and they may be mental and physical. Often, several body systems and organs are involved simultaneously. The pathophysiology of stress-related disorders involves many factors: an observable or perceived stressor, an individual dynamically evolving vulnerability and maladaptation leading to imbalance, as well as environmental, cultural, gender and life-cycle variables. There is a need to develop a comprehensive quantifiable stress assessment instrument. It would be based on the ‘stress factor’, a dimension that would integrate biological, psychological, social, economic and spiritual parameters and would allow for cultural sensitivity. It would contribute to clinical operational sophistication and would illuminate treatment options and multidimensional well-being interventions. Hopefully, it would facilitate development of culturally sensitive pharmaceutical or biophysiological adaptogens and homeostatic interventions.

Abstract:
Ayurveda is ancient Indian medical science. Apart from physical disorders, many psychological disorders are mentioned in Ayurveda. As per Ayurveda, incompatible contact of sensory organs with their senses and intellectual transgression (pragyaparadha) are the causes for psychological disorders. Similarly, bad mental qualities like jealousy, fear, anger, greed, conceit are also responsible for the development of mental disorders. As per Ayurveda, thinking, reasoning, conceptualizing, perceiving are the functions of the mind. As per Ayurveda, Yoga is a powerful tool to overcome the psychological pain. By virtue of Yoga, the mind is unified with the soul and detached from the materialistic sensory pains and pleasures. Atmagyan (knowing the self) has been mentioned as the part of treating the mental disorders. There are many psychosomatic disorders like Bhayaj and Shokaj Jwara and Atisara (anxiety and depression related fever and diarrhea), Manas Arochaka (anorexia nervosa), Dwishta Chhardi (psychological vomiting) etc which can be treated with meditation and mood elevating measures and sadvritta palana (noble code of conduct). It is concluded that role of Yoga in treating the psychological disorders is very well documented in Ayurveda.

BackgroundMental disorders may increase the risk of physical violence among married couples.AimsTo estimate associations between premarital mental disorders and marital violence in a cross-national sample of married couples.MethodA total of 1821 married couples (3642 individuals) from 11 countries were interviewed as part of the World Health Organization's World Mental Health Survey Initiative. Sixteen mental disorders with onset prior to marriage were examined as predictors of marital violence reported by either spouse.ResultsAny physical violence was reported by one or both spouses in 20% of couples, and was associated with husbands' externalising disorders (OR = 1.7, 95% CI 1.2–2.3). Overall, the population attributable risk for marital violence related to premarital mental disorders was estimated to be 17.2%.ConclusionsHusbands' externalising disorders had a modest but consistent association with marital violence across diverse countries. This finding has implications for the development of targeted interventions to reduce risk of marital violence.

ABSTRACTBackgroundAlthough positive effects of physical activity on mental health indicators have been reported, the relationship between physical activity and the development of specific mental disorders is unclear.MethodA cross-sectional (12-month) and prospective-longitudinal epidemiological study over 4 years in a community cohort of 2548 individuals, aged 14–24 years at outset of the study. Physical activity and mental disorders were assessed by the DSM-IV Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) with an embedded physical activity module. Multiple logistic regression analyses controlling for age, gender and educational status were used to determine the cross-sectional and prospective associations of mental disorders and physical activity.ResultsCross-sectionally, regular physical activity was associated with a decreased prevalence of any and co-morbid mental disorder, due to lower rates of substance use disorders, anxiety disorders and dysthymia. Prospectively, subjects with regular physical activity had a substantially lower overall incidence of any and co-morbid mental disorder, and also a lower incidence of anxiety, somatoform and dysthymic disorder. By contrast, the incidence of bipolar disorder was increased among those with regular physical activity at baseline. In terms of the population attributable fraction (PAF), the potential for preventive effects of physical activity was considerably higher for men than for women.ConclusionsRegular physical activity is associated with a substantially reduced risk for some, but not all, mental disorders and also seems to reduce the degree of co-morbidity. Further examination of the evidently complex mechanisms and pathways underlying these associations might reveal promising new research targets and procedures for targeted prevention.

Abstract:
Excessive academic workload, nervous overstrain, and physical inactivity are risk factors that cause neurovegetative changes in the body of the applicants of the higher education, which leads to the gradual development of functional disorders and a sharp decline in both mental and physical performance.
 Physical activity helps to improve the physical, mental and functional state, adaptation to environmental conditions, and improve the quality of life in the applicants of the higher education
 Physical activity relieves psycho-emotional fatigue and helps to restore somatic strength, as well as improves physical and mental qualities that allow you to freely control your actions and regulate the process of mental activity. The inclusion of physical exercises in the daily routine of higher education students significantly improves mental performance. Today, this contingent is experiencing a significant decrease in physical activity.
 The purpose of the study: to investigate the consequences of physical activity deficit in higher education students. Results of the study. The consequences of a sedentary lifestyle among students are considered. Conclusions. Physical activity deficit has a negative impact on health, physical development, physical fitness and performance; it is the main cause of non-communicable diseases; causes an increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, diabetes, breast cancer, depression, frequent respiratory diseases, decreased immune system activity, chronic diseases, metabolic disorders, internal organ function, and posture, deterioration of the mental state, weakening of physical functions, functional disorders, development of muscle atrophy, deterioration of the body's functional reserves, reduced mental performance, and the body's defence mechanisms against adverse environmental influences in the applicants of the institutions of the higher education.

Abstract:
Discordances of harmonic mental functioning are as old as the human kind. Psychopathological behaviour of an individual in the past was not treated as an illness. That means that psychopathology was not considered an illness. In all past civilizations discordance of mental harmony of an individual is interpreted from the physiological aspect. Psychopathologic expression was not considered an illness, so social attitudes about psychiatric patients in the past were non-medical and generally speaking inhuman. Hospitals did not follow development of medicine for admission of psychiatric patients in past civilizations, not even in the antique era. According to historic sources, the first hospital that was meant for mental patients only was established in the 15th century, 1409 in Valencia (Spain). Therefore mental patients were isolated in a special institution-hospital, and social community rejected them. Only in the new era psychopathological behavior begins to be treated as an illness. Therefore during the 19th century psychiatry is developed as a special branch of medicine, and mental disorder is more and more seen according to the principals of interpretation of physical illnesses. By the middle of the 19th century psychiatric hospitals are humanized, and patients are being less physically restricted. Deinstitutialisation in protection of mental health is the heritage of reforms from the beginning of the 19th century which regarded the prevention of mental health protection. It was necessary to develop institutions of the prevention of protection in the community which would primarily have social support and characteristics.

Abstract:
The article deals with the problem of stressful conditions of preschool children with mental retardation, having emotional, physical, social, intellectual, linguistic and other health characteristics, as well as their social adaptation to society, which is currently extremely relevant. The corresponding pedagogical conditions for the development of certain mental processes and qualities that are very difficult to form at later age stages are analyzed. The practical experience of educating preschool children, which require special methodological approaches and the creation of a whole range of additional conditions, is summarized. Therefore, this article discusses the stressful conditions of preschool children with mental retardation and the principles of development of young children. Particular attention is paid to the modern life of preschool children who are constantly faced with stress. The article is devoted to the peculiarities of psychological and pedagogical assistance to preschool children with mental retardation. As a result of the study, the experience of developing and implementing an early intervention program for children with multiple developmental disorders is recommended.

Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between sleep patterns, motor proficiency and commonly co-occurring neurodevelopmental disorders in children, attitude to physical activity, mental health, and age. The study also looked at differences in sleep efficiency, as well as, perceived adequacy in physical activity between typically developing children and children with low motor proficiency. The sample consisted of 127 participants, 6-12 years old living in Perth, Western Australia. 51% participants were considered typically developing and 49% to have low motor proficiency. Motor proficiency, indications of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder and anxiety/depression, adequacy in, or predilection for physical activity did not show a relationship to sleep efficiency. Significant differences between groups in sleep efficiency or adequacy in physical activity were not found. No interaction effect of neurodevelopmental disorders were identified. Sleep in children with movement impairments caused by neurodevelopmental disorders is an area where continued studies are of great importance. Although no relationship was identified in the current study, previous research has suggested sleep may play an important role for development and optimal everyday functioning. A better understanding of physical and psychological consequences and possible contributing factors of low motor proficiency in childhood is important as the risk of long-term dysfunction in emotional, cognitive and physical areas may be reduced in an optimal environment.

Abstract:
Introduction: Physical inactivity is thought to contribute to the emergence of non-communicable diseases in post-conflict settings of low-income countries. Sport-for-development (SfD) organisations in these regions claim to improve the health of programme participants. However, there is a paucity of supporting evidence. I assessed the impact of a voluntary community-based SfD intervention on the physical activity (PA), physical fitness (PF) and mental health (MH) of adolescents in Gulu, Uganda. Methods: The Acholi Psychosocial Assessment Instrument (APAI), standing broad jump (SBJ), multi-stage fitness test (MSFT) and BMI-for-age (BFA) were adapted to the local context. I tested their feasibility and reliability with a repeat-measures design (n=70). A cross-sectional analysis of a random sample was used to assess the local needs and establish the PF and MH of the adolescents reached by the intervention (n=1464). This was also the baseline assessment for the impact evaluation. It comprised a randomised control trial (n=144) nested within a cohort study (n=1400) and triangulated by cross-sectional assessment of PA using accelerometry (n=54). Results: The adapted PF and MH measures demonstrated good intra-tester reliability (ICC>0.75). Adolescents in Gulu predominantly had “healthy” BFA (>90%). They performed better than global norms for the SBJ (p<0.001), but worse for the MSFT (p<0.05). The girls who registered for the intervention had higher PF at baseline (p<0.05) and experienced no significant benefits when compared to the community. The aerobic capacity of the boys intervention group increased relative to the community (p<0.01), but was not significantly different to the trial control group whose PF also improved. The PA results concurred with this finding. Boys in the intervention group experienced a deterioration in MH relative to their peers (p<0.05). Implications: It is feasible to apply rigorous evaluation methods to SfD interventions. Although adolescents in Gulu have poor aerobic capacity, a voluntary programme may not reach those at risk. Interpreting the impact evaluation was limited by a lack of programme development theory, but suggested that opportunities for non-competitive play may confer PF benefit without harming MH. Further investigation is warranted.

Abstract:
Mental retardation is a heterogeneous group of disorders with countless causes. It is characterised by cognitive and functional limitations in everyday skills, for example social skills, communication skills and motor skills and can be classified in behavioural, etiological and educational systems. Down's syndrome and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome are two of the many syndromes defined under mental retardation. The goal of this dissertation was to determine the effect of a water activity intervention programme on the motor proficiency levels of children with Down's syndrome and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. These aims were addressed by structuring the dissertation in five chapters: Chapter one constituting the introduction and statement of the problem, Chapter 2 presenting a review of relevant literature, Chapters 3 and 4 consisting of two research articles, addressing the specific aims of the study, and Chapter 5 including the summary, conclusions and recommendations. All the children who participated in the study were intuitionalized in a school for the mentally and physically handicapped. The MABC-test was used as the main evaluation instrument, and components of the Charlop-Atwell test were used to evaluate the coordination skills of the children with Down's syndrome. The first aim of this study was to determine the effect of a specially designed water activity intervention programme on the motor proficiency levels of children with Down's syndrome. Six children classified as having Down's syndrome, formed part of the research group. Their chronological age ranged between 9 and 14 years while their mental age classification was that of a 4 to 5 year old. The data was analysed by means Summary of descriptive statistics, and effect sizes were determined. The second aim of the study was to determine the effect of a water activity intervention programme on the motor proficiency levels of children with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Six children participated in the programme. Their chronological age ranged between 7 and 17 years while their mental age classification was that of a 4 to 11 year old. Reporting the results were in the form of case studies, and effect sizes of differences were determined. With regard to the first aim of the study the results indicated that the motor proficiency levels of the experimental group with Down's syndrome improved, especially regarding the MABC-total, balance- and total body coordination skills. With reference to the second aim of the study, the results indicated that improvement in the motor proficiency levels of the children with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome had a lasting effect. The MABC total, ball skills and manual dexterity were the components that showed the best improvement. It can be concluded that a water activity intervention programme is a suitable method for rectifying motor deficiencies among children with Down's syndrome and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Recommendations for the improvement of the water activity programme were presented, as well as suggestions for further studies.<br>Thesis (M.A. (Human Movement Science))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2004.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a psychometric instrument called the Ottawa Mental Skills Assessment Tool (OMSAT), which attempted to determine the relative importance of mental skills required to achieve levels of excellence in sport performance. A review of the literature of sport psychology experts Anshel, (1987); Mahoney, (1989); Mahoney, Gabriel & Perkins, (1987); Orlick (1980, 1986, 1992); Seiler, (1992) and Vealey, (1988) was completed and served as the basis for the creation of the OMSAT questionnaire. The questionnaire was initially comprised of 14 scales including a total of 113 questions. The 14 scales were further divided into five major areas: (1) Foundation Skills (commitment, belief); (2) Affective Skills (stress reactions, fear, relaxing, energizing); (3) Cognitive Skills (goal-setting, imagery, mental practice, focus, refocus); (4) Competition Skills (simulation, competition planning); and (5) Team dynamics. The OMSAT questionnaire was distributed to a sample of 486 subjects who were divided into three groups based on their gender, sport discipline and athletic level of achievement. Following statistical analyses (i.e., internal consistency, frequency item distribution) of every question, a new condensed version of the OMSAT was formulated. This new version was comprised of 71 questions within 12 scales. Results of the condensed version of the OMSAT demonstrated high levels of internal consistency (alpha levels above.78), and acceptable levels of test-retest reliability (r levels above.63). Mean score differences indicated that elite athletes scored higher than competitive athletes, who in turn, scored higher than recreational athletes in nearly all of the OMSAT scales. Overall, the OMSAT appears to provide a potentially useful assessment and diagnostic tool for both understanding, and potentially, counselling athletes of different ability levels.

Abstract:
An increasing body of research has sought to determine the impact of Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) on the family of the affected child. Little is currently understood about the support needs of the family and how well these needs are met. With a focus on mothers as primary caregivers, Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis was used to analyse semi-structured interviews with eight mothers of children with DSD about their experiences of support. Four master themes emerged which encapsulated the stages in their child’s development when mothers most needed support, the importance of developing an understanding of the child’s condition, the lack of an acknowledgement of the emotional needs of the parent, and the importance of having close and trusted networks for support. Continuity and availability of support were considered important and while all participants prioritised maintaining privacy about the condition, a minority felt that this impacted on the level of support they received. Key periods of time for support were identified and while some felt that they were well supported others felt that their support did not meet their emotional needs. The results were discussed in light of previous research, and the clinical implications considered.

Abstract:
Research shows that the integration of physical and mental healthcare in paediatric settings is beneficial in terms of clinical and cost effectiveness (Kahana, Drotar, & Frazier, 2008; Douglas & Benson 2008, Griffin & Christie, 2008). Due to the high rates of mental health problems within this population, several studies have shown that referral to paediatric psychology should be increased (e.g. Wagner & Smith, 2007). However, there are few studies investigating factors influencing healthcare professionals’ referral behaviour. The current study used theory of planned behaviour (Ajzen, 1988; 1991) to develop a questionnaire which explores factors influencing the referral of children and families to paediatric psychology. Psychometric properties of the questionnaire were examined. Findings indicate that the questionnaire holds good reliability and validity and that the main constructs of theory of planned behaviour are useful in predicting intention to refer to paediatric psychology. Specific beliefs about referral were also shown to influence intention to refer. Findings that individual referrer factors such as attitudes and beliefs can impact healthcare professionals’ referral behaviour indicates that multidisciplinary interventions and inter-professional education relating to the psychological aspects of illness are required. Recommendations for future research are discussed.

Abstract:
AbstractSocial robots are increasingly ubiquitous in children’s lives, prompting questions regarding the promise and implications for children’s development. Social robots can be effective and helpful technological tools. Social robots are effective in supporting children’s learning in some domains, supporting better learning outcomes than with virtual agents and comparable to human tutors when tasks are simple and social. They also support the unique and individual needs of children with a range of special needs (e.g., autism spectrum disorder, hearing impairment) and promote children’s mental well-being and physical health. Yet social robots pose conceptual and ethical challenges in that they often present as if they have psychological and social characteristics. Consequently, children often understand social robots as mental, social, and moral entities, albeit to varying degrees depending upon children’s ages and robots’ features. Moreover, children treat robots in prosocial ways (e.g., helping, sharing) and believe robots deserve moral treatment. Yet, at the same time, some children deliberately abuse robots. Future research is needed to address critical questions and guide recommendations for the promise and limitations of social robots in children’s lives.

Abstract:
AbstractIn the new healthcare paradigm, personalized digital care pathway enables the provision of tailored information and empowers patients. In healthcare, it is crucial to attend to patients’ physical and emotional requirements. Stress and heavy mental workload can be detrimental to managing chronic lifestyle disorders. However, a reliable, standardized, and widely used paradigm for incorporating mental workload into the digital care pathway for providing long-term personalized care is missing from the current care pathway. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the use of mental workload tools and mobile applications in personalized digital care pathways for managing lifestyle chronic diseases. The study was focused on determining and characterizing the variables that determine mental workload; and then, investigating the ways in which these variables might function as supplementary data sources to enhance the personalization of care pathway. Based on the proposed mental workload tool, data was collected from 304 employees in the manufacturing industry, software development department. An intelligent mobile application was developed to manage and classify mental workload. Ensemble learning algorithms were used for mental workload classification, among which Hard Voting Ensemble Model outperforms the other techniques with 0.97 accuracy. Based on the findings, the most variable factor of mental workload is psychological factors with a median of 3.25, suggesting that individual differences or specific psychological conditions can significantly affect mental workload. Regarding personalization for managing chronic diseases, the mental workload variables may be utilized to individually adjust digital treatments to the specific requirements of every patient in a person-centered care.

Abstract:
AbstractThe presence of childhood and adolescent mental illness has risen significantly in recent years. The challenges that modern society poses necessitate providing children with the cognitive, social, and emotional competencies that help them avoid future mental illness as well as flourish socially and professionally. Positive psychology has introduced models of mental health in childhood to incorporate both the ‘treatment/prevention approach’ (i.e., treating and preventing mental disorders; removing negative states) as well as the ‘promotion approach’ (promoting life satisfaction; increasing positive states). In that sense, wellbeing can be defined as feeling good, functioning well, and doing good for others. Flourishing implies feeling satisfied with life and having the ability to live to the fullest. School and family contexts are important in the promotion of wellbeing in childhood. Nowadays, there is evidence that points to the positive association between levels of wellbeing and students’ academic performance, social abilities, and physical and psychological health. Many of the lifelong habits, beliefs, behaviours, and attitudes that a person carries are established in the family context. In this chapter, advances in the incorporation of positive psychology in these developmental environments are reviewed. Special attention is paid to the efficacy of interventions in preventing future psychological problems as well as in promoting childhood wellbeing, and the importance of political commitment to the achievement of generalized and sustainable changes over time is analysed.

Abstract:
AbstractThe physical, social, emotional, intellectual, and mental health of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can be affected negatively if a problem occurs in an inclusive classroom setting.The purpose of this study is to investigate how bullying affects students with ASD. This thorough literature review looks at how bullying affects students with ASD including social development, academic performance, and school participation. Bullied children who grow up to be adults have anxiety and despair that affect their school engagement. Students with ASD are unable to get along with typically abled students due to bullying. The paper highlighted the importance for educators to prevent and treat bullying of students with ASD. However, the study has severe drawbacks such as a lack of empirical research conducted in the UAE. The study recommends releasing further studies in the UAE carrying out more research on other factors that impact bullying of kids with ASD to raise awareness of this issue.

Abstract:
Disabilities are traditionally seen as development conditions involving personality desocialization risks. Features of the disorder are reflected in the consciousness of the individual. A person’s subjective perception of their disorder is important for social and psychological adaptation. Adaptive features and adolescent content of the inward disorder pattern (IDP) are presented in the article. The sample consisted of 109 participants — adolescents with visual impairments, with hearing impairments, with severe speech impairments, with delayed mental development. The optimal level of adaptation is typical for all respondents. Adolescents with hearing impairment demonstrate a high level of adaptability, indicate a high level of acceptance of themselves and others, emotional comfort, and internal orientation of self-control. At the same time, respondents demonstrate dependence on others. Respondents with delayed mental development have the opposite adaptation variant. A relatively critical level of acceptance of oneself and others, a moderate level of emotional comfort is observed in this group. Teenagers with delayed mental development often demonstrate dominance in relationships. A comparative analysis of the inward disorder pattern components shows a significant difference in the completeness of all components of the inward disorder pattern. Teenagers with visual impairment are best aware of their violation, know the causes and prevention factors. Adolescents with severe speech disorders show poor cognitive component IDP. Teenagers with delayed mental development are fixated on physical sensations. Children with hearing disorders do not notice physical sensations and discomfort associated with the disorder, and do not demonstrate motivation to change in response to the disorder. The greatest number of correlations exists between the motivational, physical component in the IDP and adaptation indicators. However, reliable correlations are established between the cognitive component and the manifestations of dominancedependence.

Abstract:
Anxiety disorders are among the most prevalent mental health conditions affecting adolescents, often leading to significant distress and impairment in daily functioning. This case study delves into the experiences of Kunal, a 17-year-old high school senior diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and Social Anxiety Disorder. Kunal's symptoms include excessive worry, panic attacks, social withdrawal, and physical manifestations of anxiety such as muscle tension and nausea. His history of childhood trauma has exacerbated his symptoms, contributing to hypervigilance and a persistent fear of social judgment. Using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) scale, Kunal's responses indicate moderate to severe anxiety. This study underscores the importance of a multifaceted therapeutic approach, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused interventions, mindfulness training, and social skills development, to help Kunal manage his anxiety and improve his overall quality of life. The findings highlight the necessity of early intervention and tailored treatment plans for adolescents struggling with anxiety disorders.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: It’s a stressor to have a family of mental illnesses. Financial, social, psychological, and physical burdens are created by looking after people with mental disorders. For the patient, the family is the informal caregiver. It is important to discuss, with a great burden, how social capital can be developed and how the role of social capital is played in treating people with mental disorders. The research was carried out on Javanese individuals who have a cultural structure that prioritizes the importance of peace in collective life. Not only the nuclear family, but also the extended family and the larger community are active in the life of Javanese society. This study aimed to describe the social capital phenomenology study among people who treat mental disorder caregivers. Subjects and Method: This was a qualitative study using a phenomenological study approach. The study was carried out in Surakarta City, Central Java, in September and October 2019. These study subjects were people who were carers for people with mental disorders. The sample was taken using purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using in-depth interviews and observation. Qualitative data analysis was obtained by means of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions and verification. Data reliability was carried out using NVivo 12 software. Data validity was done by matching the results of interviews with observations, as well as multiple interviews. Results: Data was collected from four respondents with different demographic backgrounds. Six themes were obtained, namely 1) trust in God, government, family, and neighbors; 2) The role of family and neighbors in seeking help; 3) The role of family and neighbors in caring for patients; 4) building social networks; 5) Participation in society; and 6) Social capital is dynamic. Conclusion: The respondents are found to have the same social cognitive capital, but different social structural capital. The level of education, the economic level, self-esteem, and the behavior of people with mental disorders are influenced by structural social capital. Family and neighbors can have a positive or negative role in looking after people with mental disorders. They also play a role in the decision to seek assistance for individuals with mental disorders. Keywords: mental disorders, carers, social capital Correspondence: Adriesti Herdaetha.

Abstract:
According to the theory of Hipocrates (3rd century BC) "all diseases begin in the intestines". It is now known that intestinal microorganisms participate in physiological processes such as: immune system functioning, detoxification, inflammation, neurotransmitter and vitamin production, nutrient absorption, hunger, and satiety signaling, carbohydrate and fat burning. Thus, a beneficial microbial flora is maintained by proper nutrition. Also, in the literature, there are microbiome-specific associations with different pathologies: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), asthma, autism, allergies, chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety, and diabetes. To prevent these pathologies, in the children's growth and development it must be considered multiple factors: the type of birth (natural or caesarean), genetics, general health, physical activity, sedentarism, sleep quality, and appropriate nutrition.

Abstract:
Students experienced various challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, e.g., distance learning, which caused limited face to-face socialization opportunities with peers, leading to loneliness and anxiety. Loneliness and anxiety are known to be associated with psychological difficulties such as depression or lack of motivation, feelings of anxiety and difficulty concentrating on work, etc. COVID-19 also had an impact on the physical health of young people, such as back pain when sitting at the computer, eye pain and other difficulties. Although COVID-19 is no longer an issue, young people studying remotely during the pandemic are now our learners. Therefore, the aim of this study is to identify the emotional state of school youth at the moment and the impact of COVID-19 on their mental health, as researches show that three-quarters of all mental disorders appear before the age of 24. At this age, there are rapid changes in the body as well as the formation of personal identity. Based on these considerations, the Nordplus project ‘Methods for working with young people to ensure learning process resilienceʼ was initiated, in which surveys of students and teachers were organized, and six different educational institutions from three Baltic states participated in the study. Results show that students feel tired, anxious, and angry and have too heavy workload. Teachers think that physical activity, sports and help with studies could reduce the mental health problems of students, but for students, it is most important to spend more time with friends.

Abstract:
Eating disorders (EDs) have higher mortality rates among psychiatric illnesses and are exacerbated by stigmatization. Weight stigma has been highly researched for its negative physical and mental health implications. However, despite the well-established link between weight stigma and the development of EDs, few qualitative studies exist that explore this relationship from the patient perspective. This study seeks to further understand patients’ and providers’ perspectives of the relationship among overweight, EDs, and their stigmatization in healthcare. Three groups were invited: people with self-disclosed EDs, people self-disclosing as overweight or obese, and providers in primary care or mental health care. Semi-structured interviews probed participant attitudes toward weight stigma and ED stigma. Interview transcripts were analyzed by grounded theory methods to generate a codebook of themes. 12 individuals (4 overweight, 3 EDs, 6 providers; 1 both overweight and provider) participated. Themes were organized under six domains: weight stigma, obesity stereotypes, ED stigma, ED stereotypes, relationship between obesity and EDs, and improving provider approaches to weight and eating. This qualitative analysis characterizes different facets of weight stigma and ED stigma, as well as their relationship with eating and weight. Providers must take patient-centered approaches when discussing these concepts to better support these populations.

Abstract:
Mental health is a state of an individual’s emotional and psychological wellbeing (Mental health basics,2018). People with mental illness. // Unresolved mental health problems can to a great extent affect the social, emotional, physical and educational development of teens and young adults, which in turn can have an enormous long-term negative effect on their adult life. (Fraser et al 2007). Studies [ show that young people that have positive mental health are much less likely to exhibit risk-taking behaviors such as addiction and even suicide (Reynold et al., 2013). According to the W.H.O. (2019),1 in 5 of the world's children and adolescents have a mental disorder with About 50% of mental health issues beginning before the age of 14. // Studies in Nigeria reveal that there is an existing high level of ignorance about mental illness with people tending to exhibit negative attitudes towards people who identify as having mental health illness. Also, the Rates of mental health workers vary from below 2 per 100,000 populations in low-income countries like Nigeria to 70 per 100,000 in high-income countries. // Presently openly discussing mental health issues is seen as a taboo in a Nigerian setting and people are scared of being stigmatized or labelled as being mad as madness is abhorred as a sign of a cursed bloodline. Research shows that 1/5th of suicide cases in Nigeria are of people aged 13-19, between January- June 2019,30% of suicide committed in Nigeria were students between the ages of 15-29 (Daily Trust,2019). These are worrying figures showing that young people are not able to access the help they need. // This project safe space project is an open-access web-based innovative inclusive system that makes mental health care accessible to teens and young adults in Nigeria who would have been excluded from accessing necessary education /information because they would be unable to afford to see mental health personnel or are so afraid of being stigmatized. In the website is contained age-appropriate carefully curated OER in the form of informative and easy to understand write-up on the different mental disorders, explainer videos, inspirational stories and a provision of a safe online hub connecting people sharing the same diagnosis. Here users can anonymously share their feelings with an understanding and supportive group. This presentation will be centered on the import of this particular project and giving a walkthrough of the project to demonstrate its design features and functionality.

Abstract:
Background: Among the frequently reported symptoms in long-term COVID-19 syndrome, we can highlight olfactory disorders depression, anxiety, and fatigue. OD can affect people's physical and mental health and can lead to neuropsychiatric symptoms. Objective: Determine the prevalence of symptoms of depression, anxiety, and fatigue in patients with olfactory disorders induced by long-term COVID-19; and investigate this impact on the quality of life. Methods: The study included 30 patients with confirmed long-term COVID-19, with persistent complaints of olfactory dysfunction. OD was evaluated by the connecticut smell test. Neuropsychiatric disorders were evaluated by the fatigue severity and hospital anxiety and depression scales. Quality of life was accessed using the SF-36. Results: 70% of the patients had different degrees of hyposmia and 20% had anosmia. The most prevalent symptom was depression with 66.7% of the sample. More than half of patients also had symptoms of anxiety and fatigue (53,3% both). The most affected dimensions of SF-36 were emotional, vitality, role physical and mental health (36.6 ± 44.0, 44.3 ± 28.7, 47.5 ± 42.7, 49.8 ± 24.7 respectively). There was a moderate negative correlation between symptoms of depression and the physical role and mental health dimension. There was a moderate negative correlation between anxiety and general health, vitality, social functioning, and mental health dimensions. Symptoms of fatigue obtained a moderate negative correlation in the physical function dimension. Conclusion: The prevalence of symptoms of depression, anxiety and fatigue is high in patients with olfactory disorders induced by long-term COVID-19, with a negative impact on the quality of life of these patients, highlighting the role emotional aspect.

The EER was developed in accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education. Intended for medical school students as a material that allows future doctors to become more in-depth acquainted with the basic aspects of narcology, as well as for psychiatrists, psychiatrists-narcologists, and doctors of other specialties who, due to the specifics of their work, systematically interact with patients with drug addiction pathology. The EER was developed by Doctor of Medical Sciences, Associate Professor, highly qualified psychiatrist-narcologist with 37 years of experience in the specialty of psychiatry-narcology. The structure of the EER is classic and includes an abstract, glossary, instructions for working with the course, brief information about the authors, a methodological block, 4 lectures in presentation format and video lectures on the following topics: “Ethanol from the birth of modern civilization to the creation of new stars”, “Alcoholism”, “General issues of addiction” and “Classification of substances and drugs that cause addiction.” To control the studied material, clinical tasks and final testing on the topic being studied are used. To receive feedback from cadets and students, there is a feedback form. A student who has mastered the program is able to possess professional competencies, including the ability to: professionally navigate issues of terminology and definitions related to the subject of the educational material; master the amount of knowledge on the mechanisms of the effects of psychoactive substances on the human body; correctly navigate the issues of modern classification of surfactants; correctly diagnose pathological conditions associated with chronic ethanol intoxication; apply distance educational technologies (DET) in professional activities; use automated information systems and knowledge bases in professional activities.

[This Report links with the video "The policy &amp; practice of drug, alcohol &amp; tobacco use during Covid-19" http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11911/171 ]. The COVID-19 pandemic is most notably a physical health crisis, but it strongly affects mental health as well. Social isolation, job and financial losses, uncertainty about the real impact of the crisis, and fear for physical well-being affect the mental health of many people worldwide. These stressors can increase emotional distress and lead to depression and anxiety disorders. At the same time, there are enormous challenges on the health care side. People in need of mental health support have been increasingly confronted with limitations and interruptions of mental health services in many countries. In May 2020, the United Nations already warned that the COVID-19 pandemic has the seeds of a major mental health crisis if action is not taken. The panel discussed and analysed mental health in times of the COVID-19 pandemic with reference to South Africa, Nigeria, Germany and Spain.

Abstract:
Brief, reliable instruments are critical for mental health care providers to efficiently capture psychometrically sound and clinically useful information during in-person and telehealth service provision. This study used data from 949 community clinic patients with primary anxiety and depressive disorders. We developed a shortened (6-item) form of the English and Spanish versions of the 21-item Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales (DASS) for in-person, telehealth, and hybrid mental health services using moderated nonlinear factor analysis, designed to maintain maximum reliability across the clinical range of mental health treatment-seekers. Results indicate minimal loss in local reliability in reducing the DASS to 6 items (DASS-6), with reliability exceeding 0.85 throughout the relevant clinical range of distress. Moreover, likely clinical distress is a minimum total score of 8. Test-retest with an independent sample that included in person and telehealth administration was in the good-to-excellent range for each subscale. The DASS-6 is an efficient tool for assessing depression, anxiety, and stress in both in-person and telehealth settings.

Abstract:
This paper provides one of the first robust evidence on the impact of internet access on adolescents’ well-being and mental health in a low-income country context. We find reduced subjective well-being and increased measures of mental health disorders among young people in Ethiopia during 2020-2021 following internet diffusion. Our heterogeneity analysis reveals that the effects of internet access on mental health are unequal, with stronger negative impacts for adolescents from lower-wealth households. The mechanism analysis suggests that passive internet use, particularly among youth from less advantaged socioeconomic backgrounds, might drive these negative outcomes. To address potential endogeneity, we employ instrumental variable techniques combined with fixed effects. The instrument is relevant based on network effect arguments and reasonably exogenous conditional on control variables and fixed effects. Our results offer policy implications regarding internet access and youth human capital development in the digital age and highlight the significance of social causes in shaping mental health.
