Abstract:
Depression in older people is related to the population over 65 years. The age of depression often go with chronic illnesses, various physical and mental diseases.Depression in old age is not a natural part. In the elderly population 1.4% suffered from severe depression. Compared with the rest of the population prevalence of major depression is twice as large in the age group of 70–85 years. Less severe depression have an instance 4–13%. Twice as many women than men have depression. The prevalence of depression is particularly high in the elderly with dementia.In this report we present how many old people in Serbia suffer of depression and what is new tendence in therapy.

Abstract:
The aim of the present research was to investigate the social support in depression among old age people. The total sample comprised of one hundred and eighty-three elderly (N=183), including ninety three men (n=93) and ninety (n=90) women. The age range varies from 60-85 years. Convenient sampling techniques was used for data collection. The participants were approached from different area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) were administered. All questionnaires were filled by interviewers, by using good interview skills. Data was analyzed by using SPSS. Results indicated depression is more prevalent in young-old category, and according to hypothesis result also demonstrated that depression is significantly high in females compare to males. Result further revealed unhealthy life style, problem in physical health and disabilities and poor social support are indicative of depression. Hence it is concluded that aging itself is not a factor directly related to depression, rather transition in life style with reference to working status, financial and social circumstances, and perceived social support are the significant contributing factors that may be considered as contributing factors of depression in old age.

Abstract:
Background The prevalence and incidence of stroke are known to increase with age, which, combined with demographic change, means that very old patients with stroke are a growing patient group. Risk factors for incident stroke among very old people have not been widely investigated. The impact of depression on mortality in very old people who have had a stroke also remains unclear.  The aim of this thesis was to investigate the risk factors for incident stroke, the epidemiology of stroke and depression, and the consequences of having had a stroke regarding the risk of depression and mortality among very old people. Methods A randomly selected half of 85-, all 90-, and all ≥95-year-olds in certain municipalities in Västerbotten County, Sweden, and Pohjanmaa County, Finland were targeted in a population-based cohort study from 2000-2012. The 65-, 70-, 75-, and 80-year-olds in all the rural and random samples from the urban municipalities in the same counties were furthermore targeted in a survey in 2010. In the cohort study patients were assessed in their homes, by means of the 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) and other assessment scales, as well as blood pressure measurements, several physical tests, and a review of medical diagnoses appearing in the medical charts. Incident stroke data were collected from medical charts guided by hospital registry records, cause of death records, and reassessments after 5 years. Depression was defined as a GDS-15 score ≥5. A clinical definition of all depressive disorders, based on assessment scale scores and review of medical charts was also used. A specialist in geriatric medicine evaluated the diagnoses. The survey included yes/no questions about stroke and depression status, and the 4-item Geriatric Depression Scale. Associations with mortality and incident stroke were tested using Cox proportional-hazard models.  Results In the ≥85-year-olds examined in 2005-2007 (n=601), the stroke prevalence was 21.5%, the prevalence of all depressive disorders was 37.8% and stroke was independently associated with depressive disorders (odds ratio 1.644, p=0.038). The prevalence of depression according to GDS-15 scores was 43.2% in people with stroke compared with 25.0% in people without stroke (p=0.001). However, in ≥85-year-olds examined in Sweden from 2000-2012 (n=955), from all past data collections in the study, depression was not independently associated with incident stroke.  In ≥65-year-olds who responded to a survey in 2010 (n=6098), the stroke prevalence rose with age from 4.7% among the 65- to 11.6% among the 80-year-olds (p<0.001). The prevalence of depression rose from 11.0% among the 65- to 18.1% among the 80-year-olds (p<0.001). In the group with stroke, depression was independently associated with dependence in personal activities of daily living and having a life crisis the preceding year, while in the non-stroke group, depression was independently associated with several additional demographic, social and health factors. In ≥85-year-olds examined in 2005-2007 with valid GDS-15 tests (n=452), having had a stroke was associated with increased 5-year mortality [hazard ratio (HR) 1.53, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.15-2.03]. Having had a stroke and depression was associated with increased 5-year mortality compared with having only stroke (HR 1.90, 95% CI 1.15-3.13), having only depression (HR 1.59, 95% CI 1.03-2.45), and compared with having neither stroke nor depression (HR 2.50, 95% CI 1.69-3.69). Having only stroke without a depression did not increase mortality compared with having neither stroke nor depression. In ≥85-year-olds examined in Sweden from 2000-2012 (n=955), from all past data collections in the study, the stroke incidence was 33.8/1000 person-years during a mean follow-up period of about three years. In a comprehensive multivariate model, atrial fibrillation (HR 1.85, 95% CI 1.07–3.19) and higher systolic blood pressure (SBP; HR 1.19, 95% CI 1.08–1.30 per 10-mmHg increase) were associated with incident stroke overall. In additional multivariate models, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥90 mmHg (HR 2.45, 95% CI 1.47–4.08) and SBP ≥160 mmHg (v. <140 mmHg; HR 2.80, 95% CI 1.53–5.14) were associated with incident stroke. Conclusion The prevalence of both stroke and depression increased with age, and rates were especially high among very old people. Having had a stroke was independently associated with a higher prevalence of depression among very old people, however, depression was not independently associated with a higher incidence of stroke. Having had a stroke was associated with increased all-cause mortality among very old people, but only among those who were also depressed. High SBP (≥160 mmHg), DBP (≥90 mmHg) and atrial fibrillation were the only consistent independent risk factors for incident stroke among very old people.
I västvärlden inklusive Sverige så ökar gruppen av människor som uppnår åldern 80 år eller äldre. Människorna som uppnår denna mycket höga ålder har en hög förekomst av kardiovaskulära riskfaktorer, har ofta flera samtidiga sjukdomar och ofta funktionsnedsättningar. Medicinska behandlingsåtgärder är ofta mindre effektiva och förknippade med biverkningar i åldersgruppen. Stroke är en sjukdom som beror på skada av hjärnvävnad till följd av minskad blodtillhörsel till delar av hjärnan. Det är känt att såväl förekomsten av och insjuknandet i stroke ökar med stigande ålder. Den som drabbas av stroke löper risk att få en bestående funktionsnedsättning och att dö i förtid. En vanlig komplikation efter att ha drabbats av stroke är nedstämdhet eller depression. Vetenskapliga studier om stroke har tidigare negligerat mycket gamla människor, vilket i takt med den pågående demografiska utvecklingen framstått som allt mer orimligt. Det är ej helt klarlagt vilka riskfaktorer som leder till att insjukna med stroke i mycket hög ålder. Överdödligheten förknippad med att drabbas av depression efter stroke är också oklar i åldersgruppen. Det är också oklart vad som skiljer depression efter stroke från depression bland den övriga befolkningen av åldrade människor. Den populations-baserade kohortstudien GErontologisk Regional DAtabas (GERDA) inleddes år 2000 för att kartlägga faktorer förknippade med gott åldrande bland mycket gamla människor. Hälften av 85-åringarna, alla 90-åringar och alla ≥95-åringar i utvalda kommuner i Västerbotten erbjöds att delta i studien. Därefter har återbesök hos tidigare deltagare i sina nya åldersgrupper och rekrytering av nya deltagare genomförts vart femte år. Studien utvidgades med utvalda kommuner i Österbotten, Finland vid den första femårsuppföljningen. Datainsamlingen i studien bestod av demografiska frågor, skattningsskalor, blodtrycksmätning och kognitiva test genomförda vid ett hembesök i deltagarens hem, samt genomgång av journalhandlingar. År 2010 skickades även en enkät ut till 65-, 70-, 75- och 80-åringar i alla kommuner i Västerbotten och Österbotten. Enkäten innehöll frågor om demografi, hälsa, sjukdomar och intressen. Bland deltagarna i kohortstudien bestämdes förekomsten av tidigare stroke baserat på genomgång av journaluppgifter och uppgifter från hembesöken. Förekomsten av depression bestämdes baserat på poängsättning från en validerad skattningsskala för depression, samt baserat på en sammanvägning av journaluppgifter och skattningsskalor. En specialist i geriatrik fattade det slutliga beslutet om diagnoser. Insjuknande i stroke bestämdes baserat på journalgenomgång av individer med stroke-relaterade diagnoskoder i sjukhusregistret, i dödsorsaksregistret eller uppgift om stroke vid femårsuppföljningen i studien. Bland deltagarna i enkätstudien bestämdes förekomsten av tidigare stroke baserat på självrapportering, och förekomsten av depression bestämdes baserat på en sammanvägning av självrapportering och en skattningsskala för depression.  Förekomsten av stroke i enkätstudien steg med ålder, från 4.7% bland 65-åringar till 11.6% bland 80-åringar. Förekomsten av stroke var omkring 20% bland ≥85-åringar, med minimal variation mellan 85-, 90- och ≥95-åringar. Förekomsten av depression var högre bland dem med stroke jämfört med de övriga deltagarna, både gällande den sammavägda diagnosen och baserat endast på poängsättning. Stroke och sömnproblem var oberoende associerade med depression. Bland ≥65-åringar i enkätstudien var funktionsnedsättning och genomgången livskris associerade med depression hos dem med en tidigare stroke. Bland deltagare utan stroke var ett antal ytterligare externa faktorer, inklusive subjektiv upplevelse av dålig ekonomi och att inte ha någon att anförtro sig till, associerade med depression. Både stroke och depression var associerade med ökad dödlighet bland ≥85-åringar. De med stroke utan depression hade en dödlighet i linje med normalbefolkningen utan stroke eller depression. Förekomsten av samtidig stroke och depression var associerad med högre dödlighet än normalbefolkningen, jämfört med dem med enbart stroke eller enbart depression. Högt systoliskt blodtryck (≥160 mmHg), högt diastoliskt blodtryck (≥90 mmHg) och förmaksflimmer var oberoende riskfaktorer för att insjukna i stroke bland ≥85-åringarna. Sambandet mellan blodtryck och strokerisk försvagades ej hos människor med kognitiv eller funktionell nedsättning. Tidigare stroke, hjärtsvikt, kognitiv nedsättning, näringsbrist, depressiva symtom och låg gånghastighet var också associerade med att insjukna i stroke, men ej oberoende av varandra. Sammanfattningsvis så stiger förekomsten av stroke med åldern och är särskilt hög bland mycket gamla människor. Depression är betydligt vanligare hos mycket gamla människor med stroke, även justerat för störningsfaktorer. Depression är främst associerat med funktions-nedsättning hos människor med stroke, men med ett större antal externa faktorer hos människor utan stroke. Mycket gamla människor med stroke har särskilt hög dödlighet om de samtidigt är deprimerade, men en dödlighet i linje med normalbefolkningen om de inte är deprimerade. Högt systoliskt och diastoliskt blodtryck samt förmaksflimmer är viktiga och behandlingsbara orsaker till att drabbas av stroke i mycket hög ålder.

Abstract:
A rapidly growing senior population is facing loneliness, desolation andisolation in our ageist society. Age-linked detachment and a number of socialinteractors are closely related to general health, physical condition anddepression.Using standardized instruments, the UCLA Loneliness Scale (Russellet al., 1980), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (Zimetet al., 1988), and the Geriatric Depression Scale (Brink et al., 1982), this nonexperimental-study investigated the level of perceived loneliness, socialsupport and the causative relationship of these factors to the presence ofdepression among 50 independent, relatively healthy elders in a Montrealsenior centre.Findings suggest that loneliness is a major predictor of elderdepression. Lack of perceived social support could contribute to sensedloneliness and that depression may be present in healthy, independentelderly.Intergenerational workshops for seniors are suggested to improve lifesatisfaction through social interaction. Further goals are to modify myths,stereotypes and contradictory attitudes inherent to the cohort.

Mestrado em Gerontologia - Intervenção Comunitária
Background: Falls have a high incidence in old age people and it results in severe consequences representing a public health problem. Falls are the second worldwide cause of accidental deaths (1). The literature shows that people with high depression and anxiety symptoms have impaired balance and this is more problematic in old age people (12). Some studies have shown a relationship between depression/anxiety symptoms and balance (18) however little is known how just anxiety symptoms affect balance. It is also unknown which systems responsible for balance are more affected/preserved in this population in the absence or presence of different levels of anxiety and depression symptoms. Aim: The aims of this study were to explore: the balance differences between old age people with presence/absence of anxiety and depression symptoms and how balance may be affected/preserved by the different levels of anxiety and depression symptoms in the same population. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted. The protocol included socio-demographic, anthropometric and general clinical data. Balance confidence was evaluated with the Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC), the balance with the Balance Evaluation System Test (BESTest) and with the Berg Balance Scale (BBS). The level of significance considered was set at p<0.05. Results: 136 old age people with a mean age of 75.9±8.8 years old, participated in this study. All BESTest sections were significantly affected by the presence of anxiety or depression symptoms (p<0.001). Similar results were observed in BBS (p<0.001). However, the Reactive section presented the larger difference between present or not present (49.4±21.1 vs 84.2±14.9; p<0.001) of anxiety symptoms and present or not present (46.3±30.3 vs 88.5±15.3; p<0.001) depression symptoms. Participants’ balance confidence (ABC) was also decrease significantly in both of cases (respectively: p=0.010; p=0.001). The severity of the symptoms influenced significantly the balance (BBS (anxiety: p=0.013; depression: p=0.029) and BESTest (0.001

0.046). However, balance confidence shows not be significantly affected by the level of both of symptoms (anxiety: p=0.516; depression: p=0.274). Conclusion: The presence of anxiety and depression symptoms significantly decreases balance performance and balance confidence in old age people. Additionally, the severity of symptoms significantly decreases balance performance but do not seem to significantly impact on balance confidence.
Enquadramento: As quedas apresentam uma elevada incidência em pessoas idosas, representando um problema de saúde pública. Estas são a segunda causa de mortes acidentais a nível mundial (1). A literatura indica que pessoas com maior grau de sintomatologia ansiógena e depressiva tem o equilíbrio mais comprometido, e em pessoas idosas é ainda mais problemático (12). Alguns estudos mostram uma relação entre sintomas de depressão e ansiedade e equilíbrio (18), contudo, pouco se sabe, como apenas a ansiedade afeta o equilíbrio. É também desconhecido qual/quais são os sistemas responsáveis pelo equilíbrio mais afetados/preservados nesta população na ausência ou presença de diferentes níveis de sintomatologia ansiógena ou depressiva. Objetivos: Este estudo teve como objetivos explorar as diferenças no equilíbrio entre pessoas idosas com presença/ausência de sintomas de ansiedade e depressão e como o equilíbrio pode ser afetado/preservado pelos diferentes níveis de ansiedade e depressão na mesma população. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo transversal quantitativo. O protocolo incluiu recolha de dados sociodemográficos, antropométricos e de clínica geral. A confiança no equilíbrio foi avaliada através da Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC), o equilíbrio através do Balance Evaluation System Test (BESTest) e da Berg Balance Scale (BBS). O nível de significância considerado foi de p<0.05. Resultados: Participaram neste estudo 136 pessoas idosas com uma média de idades de 75.9±8.8 anos. Todas as secções do BESTest mostraram ser significativamente afetadas quando estão presentes sintomas de ansiedade ou depressão (p<0.001). Resultados semelhantes foram observados na avaliação com a BBS (p<0.001). Contudo, a secção Respostas posturais reativas apresentou uma diferença maior aquando da presença versus ausência (49.4±21.1 vs 84.2±14.9; p<0.001) de sintomas de ansiedade e da presença vs ausência (46.3±30.3 vs 88.5±15.3; p<0.001) de sintomas depressivos. A confiança no equilíbrio (ABC) na presença de sintomas de ansiedade e depressão também diminuiu significativamente em ambos os casos (respetivamente: p=0.010; p=0.001). A severidade dos sintomas influenciou significativamente o equilíbrio (BBS (ansiedade: p=0.013; depressão: p=0.029) e BESTest (0.001

0.046) No entanto, a confiança no equilíbrio não mostrou ser afetada significativamente pela severidade de ambos os sintomas (ansiedade: p=0.516; depressão: p=0.274). Conclusão: A presença de sintomas ansiógenos ou depressivos, nas pessoas idosas, afeta significativamente o equilíbrio e a auto perceção do equilíbrio. Este estudo demonstrou também que o equilíbrio diminui, significativamente, à medida que a severidade desses sintomas aumenta, mas a auto-perceção do equilíbrio não parece ser afetada.

Abstract:
The number of adults in the United States who are age 65 or older is rapidly increasing. With longer lifespan comes an increase in chronic diseases such as dementia, diabetes, and depression. This study used archival data from a larger study conducted at the Memory Clinic at John Peter Smith County Hospital in Ft. Worth, Texas to examine several hypotheses and research questions related to the influence of type of dementia, presence of Type II diabetes, and presence of depression on neuropsychological test performance. First, this study attempted to identify specific patterns of performance on neuropsychological measures for those with Alzheimer's dementia (AD), vascular dementia (VaD), or mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The results indicated that those with MCI perform better than those with AD or VaD on all neuropsychological measures, and that those with VaD perform better than those with AD on a measure of verbal memory. Another purpose of the study was to determine how the presence of Type II diabetes affects this pattern of functioning; the overall finding in this study was that the presence or absence of diabetes did not affect performance on measures of cognitive functioning. Additionally, the study attempted to add to literature examining the influence of depression on older adults with diabetes and/or dementia; no significant differences emerged.

Abstract:
Background: Depression is the leading cause of premature death and disability worldwide. The globally aging population with increasing burdens of chronic diseases is certain to face increasing problems. Elderly people in whom physical and mental co-morbidities are common represent a group that is highly susceptible to the harm of depression. Worse still, the reduced accessibility of elderly to healthcare implies that the public health burden of depression seen in the healthcare sector is only tip of the clinical iceberg. Objectives: This review aims to synthesize the current evidence of public health burden of geriatric depression, and the public health challenges in tackling this growing threat in the context of under-detection, social disparities and population ageing, and to summarize its current situation in Hong Kong and compare with other Methods: A literature search was conducted in databases PubMed, Medline and Cochrane (January 2002-June 2012) using the keywords “depression, depressive episode, epidemiology, prevalence, incidence, elderly”. A total of 1285full-text articles were obtained, out of which 52 articles were potentially relevant. Critical appraisal was performed on articles after a priori specified inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied. After removing the duplicates and examining the contents, 15 articles were adopted for review. Results: Depression brings along heavy disease burden which highly associated with mortality and morbidity. Late-life depression accounts for 17-37% in primary care settings, while around 3% in the community. The ongoing problems of under-detection, under-treatment and the progressive population ageing increase the challenges and complexity of matter. Gender difference is identified, while social support, social relationships and socioeconomic status were shown to be highly correlated with elderly depression in both the East and the West. Conclusions: Elderly depression is a global threat causing increasing public health burden to healthcare systems and societies worldwide. Over the decades, public health sector is facing numerous challenges intackling it, including the practice-related challenges complicated by characteristics of elderly, policy-related challenges explained by the clinical iceberg concept, and societal related challenges. By understanding the older population and challenges in the community control of depression, it is the time to action and turn public health over a new leaf.

Abstract:
The article presents generalized data on the relationship between the types of old-age adaptation and emotional disorders as manifestations of the geriatric syndrome. The manifestations of aggression and depression are also considered. The purpose of the study is to identify a correlation between emotional disorders and types of adaptation to old age. The study involved 50 subjects without mental disorders aged between 60 to 80. Analysis of the data obtained showed that there is a correlation between the types of old-age adaptation and emotional manifestations in older people which can be considered as an important factor in the subjective feeling of an old person’s well-being. Also, aggressive and depressive manifestations are interconnected with destructive styles of social functioning. There is a statistically significant correlation between emotional disturbances and types of old-age adaptation.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Previous studies expected that postpartum depression may occur from multiple hormonal–biological, psychological, familial, social, and cultural factors. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of traditional care and biopsychosocial determinants on the risk of postpartum depression. Subjects and Method: A cross sectional study was carried out at 25 birth delivery services in Sleman, Yogyakarta, from August to September 2019. A sample of 200 postpartum mothers was selected by multistage random sampling. The dependent variable was postpartum depression. The independent variables were sectio cesarean complication during labor, age, traditional birth delivery, education, family income, parity, unwanted pregnancy, and marriage satisfaction. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a multiple logistic regression. Results: The risk of postpartum depression increased with sectio cesarean (b= 2.54; 95% CI= 1.40 to 3.67; p<0.001), complication during labor (b= 3.13; 95% CI= 2.03 to 4.22; p<0.001), and age ≥35 years old (b= 0.67; 95% CI= -0.26 to 1.62; p= 0.160). The risk of postpartum depression decreased with traditional birth delivery (b= -0.99; 95% CI= -1.93 to -0.05; p=0.037), education ≥Senior high school (b= -1.75; 95% CI= -3.13 to -0.38; p= 0.012), family income ≥Rp 1,701,000 (b= -3.14; 95% CI= -4.38 to -1.90; p<0.001), multiparous (b= -1.14; 95% CI= -2.14 to -0.14; p= 0.024), wanted pregnancy (b= -2.39; 95% CI= -3.78 to -0.99; p=0.001), and marriage satisfaction (b= -1.18; 95% CI= -2.15 to -0.20; p= 0.018). Conclusion: The risk of postpartum depression increases with section cesarean, complication during labor, and age ≥35 years old. The risk of postpartum depression decreases with traditional birth delivery, education ≥Senior high school, family income ≥Rp 1,701,000, multiparous, wanted pregnancy, and marriage satisfaction.

Abstract:
Background and aims. Typical cognitive biases (irrational beliefs, cognitive distortions and erroneous perceptions) and high levels of impulsivity have been systematically reported among individuals with problem gambling. The objective of this study is to examine the role of the chronological age into the relationships between cognitive biases and impulsivity with the gambling disorder (GD) profile during adulthood. Methods. The sample analysed in this study included n=209 patients into the range age 18-77 yrs-old, recruited at the Pathological Gambling Outpatients Unit of the Bellvitge University Hospital (Barcelona). Results. Path-analysis showed a mediational link between chronological age, the presence of a comorbid depression or anxiety disorder, and the level of GD symptoms. Orthogonal polynomial contrasts showed a positive quadratic trend between the individuals’ age and cognitive distortions severity (higher impairing irrational beliefs obtained among younger and older patients, compared to middle-age patients). The sensation-seeking level showed a negative linear trend with the age: the older the patient’s age, the lower the score in this impulsivity domain. Among younger age patients gambling severity correlated only with cognitive bias levels, while during middle age patients gambling severity correlated with both cognitive bias and impulsivity levels. Within older age group fewer and poorer associations were found between cognitive bias and impulsivity with the accumulated debts due to the gambling activity, and the bets per gambling-episode. Conclusion. The results of this study could help in the development of reliable/valid assessment tools for GD, as well as for the design of precise/effective intervention plans and guidelines. These should include the patients’ age, the cognitive style, and the impulsivity levels, with the aim of providing precise and accurate tools to manage gambling problems.

Abstract:
Background: Huntington-like (HL) syndrome represents a group of diseases clinically similar to Huntington disease (HD) with different genetic etiology. Here, we aimed to compare clinical and neuroimaging features between HL and HD. Methods: We assessed 12 patients with HL (6 men; 53.66±13.02 years old) and 12 with HD (genetically confirmed, 6 men; 52.58±11.64 years old). All patients were followed at UNICAMP and were matched to sex, age, age at onset and duration of disease. They underwent 3T MRI scans, detailed neurological examination, the unified Huntington’s disease rating scale (UHDRS), the Montreal cognitive assessment (MOCA), Beck depression inventory (BDI), and the scale for the evaluation of rating ataxia (SARA). We APPLIED voxel-based morphometry technique (SPM12/CAT12/MATLAB software) to assess differences in the gray and white matters between groups and matched controls. Results: Groups were clinically similar, but the VBM study revealed widespread cortical (bilateral) and subcortical atrophy in HD (bilateral globi pallidi, amygdala, hippocampi, caudate and putamen), with a more restricted cortical (left temporal lobe) subcortical atrophy in HL (bilateral thalami, putamen and left hippocampus). Cortical atrophy in HL concentrated in the bilateral putamen. The left hippocampus were atrophic in both groups. Conclusion: Despite similar clinical presentation, patients with HL and HD have distinctive patterns of atrophy subcortical structures, mainly in the thalami. These results may raise insights into the underlying disease mechanisms in HL and HD and could be useful as biomarkers of disease progression in future therapy trials.

Abstract:
Introduction: Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare neurological entity, which consists of an autosomal recessive inherited disorder of bile acid biosynthesis due to CYP27A1 variants, with variable systemic and neurological clinical presentation. Psychiatric signs are also observed at early adulthood and includes behavioral and personality changes, depression and psychosis. However, self-mutilation has not been previously described. Case report: We attend to two sisters with a unique clinical presentation. The first patient, 33 years old, presented epilepsy at 17, in addition to cognitive impairment and tendon xanthomas. A severe depressive condition was established at 25. A year ago, she had frequent bites on his lips and tongue. The second patient, 28 years old, had chronic diarrhea and juvenile cataract in childhood. Axial ataxia has been observed since age 18. After 3 years, she presented psychiatric decline marked by visual, auditory hallucinations and persecutory delirium. Four months ago she showed signs of self-mutilation with a sting in the phalanges of his hands. Both patients had elevated plasma cholestanol and 7-dehydro-cholesterol. The genetic test showed a homozygous c.1183 C>T (p.Arg395Cys) variant in the CYP27A1 gene. Conclusion: The reports illustrate the relevance of self-mutilation in CTX, an unprecedented clinical presentation that should be remembered as another differential diagnosis with this phenomenology.

Abstract:
Introduction: Comorbidity of personality and substance use disorders, including prescription drug abuse, is common in clinical practice. We present a case report of a patient with a diagnosis of a personality disorder and symptoms of modafinil dependence. Case report: 33-year-old male, single, unemployed for over 3 years. He started psychological treatment at the age of 17 due to anxiety symptoms. Since the age of 21 he had irregular consultations with several psychiatrists in private practice. He received several diagnoses, including anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder and personality disorder. In one of the consultations, modafinil 100mg was prescribed twice daily to alleviate depressive symptoms. The patient gradually increased the dose to up to 1000mg a day. He presented for a consultation in our psychiatric hospital claiming he had been trying to reduce the dose of the drug. He had a fast speech and showed aggressive behavior, reported intrusive suicidal and homicidal thoughts, and had recent episodes of aggressive behavior requiring police intervention. Hospitalization was proposed for discontinuation of the psychostimulant medication. Discussion and conclusions: Modafinil is a central nervous system stimulant, pharmacologically different from other stimulants. It is approved in Portugal for the treatment of excessive somnolence associated with narcolepsy. However, it is often used off label in several countries as an adjunctive treatment for symptoms of depression or fatigue associated with cancer or neurologic diseases. Although modafinil is typically associated with low abuse potential, case reports have been presented in the literature describing patterns of abuse and dependence of this drug. It is important that clinicians prescribe it with caution, bearing in mind patients' past consumption patterns and traits and that may increase the risk of abuse, such as high novelty seeking and reward sensitivity and low agreeableness and conscientiousness.

Abstract:
Due to the global spread of COVID-19, people all around the world have been forced to change the way they communicate and interact with others. Keeping social distance and wearing masks helps prevent the spread of coronavirus, and also makes online social platforms increase in demand in an unprecedented way (Flynn, 2008). Prolonged social isolation during COVID-19 is likely to have negative effects on mental health and communication on an individual. Researchers have found evidence for caused and elevated anxiety disorders such as somatization, post-traumatic stress disorder, panic disorders and depression amongst individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic (Meikle, 2016). Numerous studies have found that people only show their “good side” and positive emotions on social media. How does social media reveal our anxiety disorders during Covid? Do emotions expressed in pictures match with its text content on social media? In this research, 500 most recent selfies from individual accounts between December 1st and 10th in 2021 from age ranges 13 to 55 years old were downloaded for the study. The study used IBM Watson tone analyzer and Sky-Biometry as tools for linguistic analysis and emotion detection. In addition, the research compared imagery and text content in social media as a function of emotional expression and methods.Keywords: Emotional Expressions, Communication, Social Media, COVID-19, Photography Posts, Text, Instagram, Social Network, Attention Theory, Mental Health
