Abstract:

Developments in analytical techniques have allowed study of the concentrations of more than thirty elements in biological tissues. These methods have been applied to blood and brain tissues from patients with a wide range of psychiatric illness. Increases in blood vanadium concentrations in affective illness are discussed in relation to possible disturbance of noradrenaline metabolism. It is suggested that high vanadium levels may reflect high circulatory levels of noradrenaline but direct evidence of such a link has not yet been obtained. Discussions of elements in dementia centres mainly on

Abstract:

Schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depression are common, heritable neuropsychiatric conditions and yet the source of the inherited risk remains largely unknown. This thesis focuses on two complementary strategies for identifying and characterising the genetic component of these illnesses: homozygosity mapping in consanguineous pedigrees, and genetic and neurobiological investigations of candidate genes identified by the analysis of structural chromosomal abnormalities carried by patients with psychiatric diagnoses.

Abstract:

This thesis presents a critical analysis of the limitation and weakness of the concept of mental illness and proposes the Reactive Functional Disorder (RFD) approach as an alternative moral perspective on mental illness. Chapter one highlights, through an analysis of the problems of psychiatric treatment in Kuwait, the vulnerability of the concept of mental illness to abuse. In Chapter two, it is argued that the current definitional systems used in psychiatry have contributed to the vulnerability of the concept of mental illness to abuse by employing definitions which are terminologically, cli

Abstract:

Chronic health problems are hypothesised to be a risk factor to child and adolescent mental health, due the consistent and continuing stress these health problems pose to normative patterns of development. However, this theory remains to be substantiated by empirical research. Moreover, a systematic review conducted as part of this research indicated that the empirical body is not one on which the validity of this theory can be adequately tested. The major question posed is whether the lack of high quality epidemiological data in the field is obscuring a true psychiatric risk associated with c

Disrupted in schizophrenia 1 (DISC1), located on chromosome 1, was first identified due to its disruption by a chromosomal translocation, t(1;11)(q42;q14). This translocation co-segregates with psychiatric illness in the Scottish family within which it was discovered. DISC1 is a component of the mitochondrial trafficking machinery and regulates trafficking of mitochondria in neurons, possibly implicating defective mitochondrial trafficking as a contributory factor in psychiatric illness.

Abstract:

Background: Patients with mental illness often experience stigma and marginalization, which affects the quality of their healthcare. In most settings, end of life decisions, including goals of care, must be discussed with all patients upon hospital admission. This includes determining cardiopulmonary resuscitation preferences, in the event of a medical emergency. Despite this requirement, category status conversations do not routinely occur in psychiatry. It is common for psychiatric inpatients, including those at high risk for cardiac or respiratory arrest, to be admitted, cared for, and dis

Abstract:

The prevalence of psychiatric symptoms in next-of-kin (NOK) of intensive care unit (ICU) patients has been reported at higher than 70% when screening is performed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). The primary purpose of this study was to assess the ability of the HADS to predict psychiatric illness, diagnosed with the aide of a validated tool, the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID). In addition, we asked NOK to rate aspects of the ICU experience to determine possible associations with psychiatric diagnosis. Thirty-four NOK were enrolled in this study from Jul

Abstract:

I have studied four families that show linkage of psychiatric illness to chromosome 4p. Linkage was first observed in a large family, F22 segregating bipolar and unipolar affective disorders. Subsequently, a smaller family, F59, segregating affective disorders and two families (F50 & F48) segregating schizophrenia, schizoaffective and bipolar disorders confirmed this linkage. Previously, comparison of the two haplotypes inherited with illness in each family allowed prioritisation of two sub-regions for detailed study.

The genetic contribution to the aetiology of psychiatric illness is well-established; however, few variants that alter the encoded protein have been irrefutably identified as causative, leading to the hypothesis that variants affecting gene regulation may play a pathogenic role. This thesis focuses on two genes, Neuregulin 1 (NRG1) and Disrupted in Schizophrenia 1 (DISC1), for which there is strong genetic evidence for involvement in psychiatric illness, as well as evidence for altered expression in patients.

Abstract:

Polypharmacy is broadly defined as the administration of more than one medication in a single patient, with the most commonly used definition indicating the concurrent use of five or more medications. Polypharmacy occurs in most clinical settings, particularly inpatient settings and treatment settings for persons with chronic illness and the elderly. Reasons for receiving more than one medication include ineffective treatment with monotherapy, targeting specific but varied symptoms, treating two distinct but co-morbid illnesses, addressing unremitting symptoms, and treating extrapyramidal side

The results of the study indicate that an assessment of the patients' attitudes and beliefs about symptoms, and an exploration of psychosocial issues, may lead to a better understanding

The basic helix-loop-helix PAS domain transcription factor gene NPAS3 is a risk factor for psychiatric disorders. A knockout mouse model also exhibits behavioural and adult neurogenesis deficits consistent with human illness. To define the location and mechanism of NPAS3 aetiopathology immunofluorescent and transcriptomic approaches were used. Npas3 was co-localised with Dcx, but not other neurogenesis markers, in the hippocampal subgranular zone - the site of adult neurogenesis. This implied that NPAS3 might be involved in maturing, rather than proliferating, neuronal precursor cells. Microar

Abstract:

Stigma has been described as the most significant obstacle to quality of life for individuals with major psychiatric diagnoses (Sartorious, 1998). Much of the psychological literature on stigma focuses on individual attributes and interactions at the micro level, rather than macro level dynamics. In critiquing this traditional focus, Link and Phelan (2001) present a model in which stigma ensues when labeling, stereotyping, separation, status loss, and discrimination co-occur in a situation of power imbalance. Even as the model fills a gap in conceptualizing stigma, its emphasis on power is uni
