Abstract:
Objective: This paper considers mental health services resource distribution under the Australian second national mental health plan, with its direction to mental health services to be more inclusive of people with higher prevalence psychiatric disorders. We consider inequalities in mental health in Australia, and describe the performance of the composite census variable employed in the Victorian mental health funding distribution formula, the index of relative socioeconomic disadvantage (IRSED), in predicting disorder rates and perceived needs for care. Method: We review data sets generated through the National Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing (NSMHWB) for their utility in development of resource distribution formulae. We present analyses from the 10 641 cases examined in the household survey to explore the role of the IRSED in predicting prevalence rates of anxiety, affective, substance misuse and other disorders, as well as perceived need for care. Results: Recent epidemiological studies provide some additional sources of data to guide resource distribution, although the available data sets are found not to be optimized for examination of this issue. Greater levels of socioeconomic disadvantage of areas are associated with increased rates of morbidity in metropolitan areas, with different patterns for different disorder groups. The influence of the IRSED is more complex outside the major cities. Conclusions: The descriptive epidemiological data now available, despite significant investment, are relatively crude instruments for this current purpose. The findings support the case for using the IRSED as a proxy indicator for morbidity for the high prevalence disorders, but only within metropolitan areas. This examination confirms the existence of significant inequalities in mental health between Australian urban areas with different socioeconomic characteristics.

Abstract:
SynopsisEvidence of linkage in families of bipolar patients has so far been identified with genetic markers on chromosome X and 11. However, replications of these data have not consistently been reported in either case, which favours the hypothesis of genetic heterogeneity. Therefore, we have tried to outline a sampling strategy for linkage replication in affective disorders. We estimated the average number of nuclear families required to replicate X or 11 linkage as a function of the degree of heterogeneity as well as the number to prove heterogeneity given that linkage exists. The results are presented and discussed.

Abstract:
Objective:To study suicides occurring in Ballarat with regard to incidence, demographic variables, possible causal factors, and association with psychiatric disorders over a period of 5 years. Method:A detailed review of the coroner's record of every suicide occurring during 1992-1996 was undertaken. Information was obtained on socio-demographic variables, method and circumstances of suicide, and associated psychiatric disorders in each case and subjected to psychological autopsy. Results:75 suicides were recorded. The male to female ratio was 4:1 and average age was 43 years. 60% had associated psychiatric illnesses, mainly affective disorders. Carbon monoxide self-poisoning accounted for 40%, firearms for 30%, and hanging, overdose, asphyxia and other methods for the remaining 30%. It was statistically significant that the younger age group preferred firearms to other methods, and that their suicides were precipitated by interpersonal conflicts. Social and personal difficulties were associated in 33%, and triggering factors were present in 40%. Previous suicide attempts were present in 28%, while 32% had manifest behavior changes preceding suicides or verbalized their intent to suicide. Conclusions:Suicide rates in Ballarat were higher than the average overall Victorian and Australian rates. After a consistent decline over 4 years an increase occurred in 1996. The preferred method of suicide was carbon monoxide, although the young preferred firearms. Demographic and other psychosocial factors were similar to the rest of Australia. Unemployment was not a significant factor. Psychiatric conditions, personal and social problems figured prominently as factors of etiological significance in suicide subjects.

Abstract:
Objective: This study examines the reliability of antemortem diagnoses of schizophrenia using DSM-IV criteria. Method: The case histories of 83 subjects with a provisional diagnosis of schizophrenia at autopsy were retrospectively reviewed using a semi-structured chart review and application of DSM-IV criteria. Agreement between antemortem and postmortem diagnoses of schizophrenia was examined, as well as the concordance between DSM-IV diagnoses and previously obtained diagnoses using DSM-Ill-R and ICD-10 criteria for schizophrenia. Results: According to DSM-IV, 30.1% of cases did not have schizophrenia, compared to 36.1% using DSM-Ill-R criteria and 51.8% of cases using ICD-10 criteria. Concordance between DSM-IV and DSM-Ill-R diagnoses of schizophrenia was excellent (k = 0.81), but only fair between DSM-IV and ICD-10 (k = 0.57). Of the cases that did not meet the formal criteria for schizophrenia, the majority were reassigned diagnoses of schizoaffective disorder and affective disorder. Conclusions: The use of human brain tissue in postmortem studies of schizophrenia must be linked to standardised diagnostic assessment procedures. Diagnoses can be upgraded with the development of new criteria, providing sufficient clinical data is available in case histories.

Abstract:
BackgroundA relationship exists between mental disorder and offending behaviours but the nature and extent of the association remains in doubt.MethodThose convicted in the higher courts of Victoria between 1993 and 1995 had their pyschiatric history explored by case linkage to a register listing virtually all contacts with the public psychiatric services.ResultsPrior psychiatric contact was found in 25% of offenders, but the personality disorder and substance misuse accounted for much of this relationship. Schizophrenia and affective disorders were also over-represented, particularly those with coexisting substance misuse.ConclusionsThe increased offending in schizophrenia and affective illness is modest and may often be mediated by coexisting substance misuse. The risk of a serious crime being committed by someone with a major mental illness is small and does not justify subjecting them, as a group, to either increased institutional containment or greater coercion.

Abstract:
BackgroundAffective disorders are associated with cognitive disturbances but their role as risk factors for dementia is still not fully investigated.AimsTo evaluate the risk of developing dementia in individuals with a history of affective disorder.MethodWe conducted a systematic review of case-control and cohort studies addressing the risk of developing dementia in people with affective disorders. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first systematic review that has included studies evaluating this risk specifically in people with bipolar disorder.ResultsFifty-one studies were included. Most of the studies found an increased risk for developing dementia in individuals with depression. Greater frequency and severity of depressive episodes seem to increase this risk. The evidence is contradictory regarding whether there is a difference in risk in people with early- or late-onset depression. The few available risk estimates for dementia in people with bipolar disorder suggest an even higher risk than for those with depression.ConclusionsAffective disorders appear to be associated with an increased risk of developing dementia, and one that is dependent on clinical and demographic variables. Depression may be both a prodrome and a risk factor for dementia. Future research should aim to elucidate the mechanisms that mediate these links.

Abstract:
IntroductionCatatonia is a potentially life-threatening but treatable neuropsychiatric syndrome. The prevalence of catatonia in children and adolescents is probably underestimated since investigation on this matter is still lacking. Different studies have led to the recognition of catatonia as a separate psychiatric entity, as reflected in DSM-5, renewing interest on this subject. While in the adult population there is evidence highlighting the strong association between catatonia and affective disorders, this has been poorly reflected in child and adolescent psychiatry literature. In fact, most of the research in this population focuses on associations with organic, psychotic or developmental disorders.ObjectivesWe aim to illustrate the diagnostic challenges when facing an adolescent with catatonia encompassing psychiatric, neurologic and immunologic factors known as possible causes for this condition. We aim to explain the diagnostic procedure and the possible clinical results of this workup, as well as raise the discussion around treatment options.MethodsWe used a clinical case vignette of a 14-year-old adolescent, presenting with a stress-induced catatonic syndrome and depressive symptoms without any prior organic or psychiatric condition. We reviewed the most relevant literature in order to contextualize our clinical case.Results and conclusionCatatonia is an under-recognized condition in children and adolescents without a prior medical or psychiatric condition, especially when associated with affective disorders. The inclusion of catatonia as a specific syndrome in the psychiatric nosography may help its recognition. Case reports on this matter are therefore especially important as a way of pushing clinical investigation on this matter forward.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract:
Abstract Introduction: Disorders of circadian rhythms have been reported in studies of both depressed children and of depressed adolescents. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether there is a relationship between the 24-hour spectral power (24h SP) of the activity/rest rhythm and the clinical course of depression in adolescents. Methods: Six 14 to 17-year-old adolescents were recruited for the study. They were all suffering from major depressive disorder, according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition (DSM-IV) criteria, as identified by the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School Aged Children: Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL). Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Children's Depression Rating Scale - Revised (CDRS-R) and clinical evaluations. Locomotor activity was monitored over a period of 13 consecutive weeks. Activity was measured for 10-minute periods using wrist-worn activity monitors. All patients were prescribed sertraline from after the first week up until the end of the study. Results: We found a relationship between high CDRS values and low 24-hour spectral power. Conclusions: The 24h SP of the activity/rest rhythm correlated significantly (negatively) with the clinical ratings of depression.

Abstract:
Following on from Section IV on summoning concepts, this section of theHandbookpresents theoretically informed descriptions of psychopathologies. The topics of the chapters range from anxiety, depression, and body image disorders, through emotion and affective disorders, to delusion, thought insertion, and the fragmentation of consciousness. These phenomena call, not only for assessment and diagnosis (see Section VI), but also for understanding on the part of both the engaged clinician and the philosophical commentator. They also provide case studies for general philosophical questions about different levels of description and conceptualisation and the relationships between them, and about the contributions to psychological understanding that are made by phenomenology, clinical expert knowledge, and the sciences of the mind.

Abstract:
‘Cognitive disorders’ is a broad and heterogeneous diagnostic category, which includes different disorders, each with a distinct aetiology. They affect individuals in different ways depending on the age in which they occur. The term may be applied to a child, who has experienced perinatal trauma as well as to an older person with a beginning dementia of the Alzheimer type. The scientific literature on offenders with cognitive disorders is sparse. Most authors in forensic psychiatry do not systematically differentiate between the diagnostic subcategories and tend to use broad terms, such as organic disorder, organic psychosis, organic brain syndrome, neuropsychological deficit, dementia, mental handicap, mental retardation to include a number of different disorders in their studies. The number of patients with any kind of brain disorder in forensic hospitals and institutions is comparatively small and ranges from 1 to 10 per cent of all forensic inpatients. The same numbers apply for individuals assessed for criminal responsibility or risk of reoffending. Compared to major mental disorders like schizophrenia or affective disorders or to personality disorders, patients with cognitive disorders account for only a small proportion of individuals seen by forensic psychiatrists. Subdividing this group any further would be statistically irrelevant. The way forensic psychiatry and the law deals with offenders suffering from organic brain disorders is rather derived from case reports and convention than from empirical knowledge.
