Abstract Objectives Body rhythms have an impact on health. We explore the effect that regularity have on depression, anxiety and emotional intelligence. Methods Data from n = 8252 unique participants that completed the self reported Depression and Anxiety Assessment Test (registration TX 7-398-022) was used. It measured depression, anxiety and emotional intelligence (EQ). The questionnaire of 85 questions included questions of demographics, and also the question “Do you sleep and eat meals on a regular schedule, and at approximately the same times each day?”. Data for the study included participants from 5 continents. The depression and anxiety level was based on the DSM-5 [The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Volume 5] criteria. The depression was classified according to DSM-5 into 4 categories as none (0–6), mild (7–10), moderate (11–19) or severe (20 or more). Anxiety was classified as none (0–4), mild (5–8), moderate (9–12) and severe (13 or more). Results The group was divided among those that reported regularity and those that don't. Among the group that reported regularity they had n = 4900 participants, average age was 47.6 SD 17.4, the depression average was 7.74, SD 7.04. Anxiety average 4.2, SD 4.1, EQ average of 112.2, SD 17. The group that reported was irregular they had 3352 participants, average age was 43.2 SD 16.7, the depression average of that group was 13.5, SD 7.7. Anxiety average was 7.1, SD 4.5, EQ 100.5, SD 17.3. Conclusions It seems regularity habits have an effect on mental health and it seems to have also an effect on emotional intelligence. This should be further researched as a possible preventive and treatment intervention for mental health. Funding Sources Self funded.

Abstract Objectives B12 is an essential nutrient for brain function. We document what effect does B12 supplementation has on mental health. Methods The study used 4 years of accumulated data, n = 5003, of unique individuals who took the Depression and Anxiety Assessment Test (DAAT), registration TX 7-398-022. That test assessed depression, demographics and also asked about intake of B12 supplements, B12 rich foods and B12 supplemented foods. The depression levels were classified according to the DSM-5 [The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Volume 5] into 4 categories as none (0–6), mild (7–10), moderate (11–19) or severe (20 or more). Results N = 5003 took the DAAT test, that group mean age was 45, SD 17 and 67.7% were females, 64% Caucasian, 12.2% Hispanic, 8.6% black and 6.8% Asian. From the n = 5003 individuals that took the test, n = 2640, 52.8%, reported taking B12 daily twice a day, that group had a mean depression score of 10.1, SD 7.8, and median 9. N = 1038, 20.7%, reported taking B12 occasionally, that group had a mean depression score of 10.6, st dev 7.8, and median 10. N = 1325, 26.5%, reported rarely taking B12, that group had a mean depression score of 10.3, st dev 8.3, and median 9. Conclusions The three groups regardless of their patterns of intake of B12 had similar levels of depression. This, however, does not imply that B12 does not have an effect on the nervous system and 1/4 of the participants did not take enough B12. The liver is known to store a significant amount of B12, which we hypothesize is the reason for the individuals in this study not being significantly affected by B12 intake in the short term.

Mental health professionals and scientists must have a common language to communicate with their colleagues, with professional agencies, and with patients and the general public. The primary purpose of an official, authoritative diagnostic nomenclature is to provide this common language that minimizes the use of idiosyncratic and invalid concepts. The American Psychiatric Association’s (APA’s) Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) provides this common language for the description of psychopathology. DSM-5 is the current edition of the APA’s diagnostic manual.

The fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders of the American Psychiatric Association is referred to as DSM-5™. DSM-5’s early predecessor, DSM-III, differed considerably from the first two editions. Its innovative incorporation of specified diagnostic criteria had a major impact on the field of mental health. In DSM-5, these criteria have been further updated to reflect the important gains in our understanding of mental disorders.

New Diagnosis

Pediatric irritability is one of the most common reasons for mental health evaluation and treatment. Irritability is transdiagnostic; while it is the hallmark symptom of disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, a new diagnosis in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), it also appears in the diagnostic criteria for several mood, anxiety, and behavioral disorders and is a common correlate in others. The past 15 years have witnessed a rise in clinical neuroscience studies of pediatric irritability, resulting in significant advances in our understanding of its neural, genetic, psychophysiological, and behavioral correlates. These advances are detailed in the chapters in this volume. There is a particular focus on the implications of these findings for assessment and treatment of irritable youth, along with suggestions for further research.

Mood And Anxiety Disorders

Irritability is common in children and adolescents presenting with mood and anxiety disorders and was recently introduced in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) as a diagnostic category under the name of disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD). The aim of this chapter is to describe the distinct phenomenology, epidemiology, and correlates of irritability in the context of bipolar disorder, DMDD, depression, and anxiety disorders. The course of irritability is episodic in bipolar disorder and depression and is commonly accompanied by elated and depressed mood, respectively. In contrast, the irritability seen in DMDD is chronic and recurrent. In anxiety disorders, the experience of irritability is usually related to the presence of the feared situation. Regardless of these differences, irritability seems to be associated with higher rates of comorbidity and greater functional impairment and may need attention in its own right.

Zusammenfassung. Hintergrund: Nach 12 Jahren Entwicklung wird die 11. Version der International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) von der Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) im Januar 2022 in Kraft treten. Methodik: Im Rahmen eines selektiven Übersichtsartikels werden die Veränderungen im Hinblick auf die Klassifikation von Angststörungen von der ICD-10 zur ICD-11 zusammenfassend dargestellt. Ergebnis: Die diagnostischen Kriterien der generalisierten Angststörung, Agoraphobie und spezifischen Phobien werden angepasst. Die ICD-11 wird auf Basis einer Lebenszeitachse neu organisiert, sodass die kindesaltersspezifischen Kategorien der ICD-10 aufgelöst werden. Die Trennungsangststörung und der selektive Mutismus werden damit den „regulären“ Angststörungen zugeordnet und können zukünftig auch im Erwachsenenalter diagnostiziert werden. Neu ist ebenso, dass verschiedene Symptomdimensionen der Angst ohne kategoriale Diagnose verschlüsselt werden können. Diskussion: Die Veränderungen im Bereich der Angsterkrankungen umfassen verschiedene Aspekte und sind in der Gesamtschau nicht unerheblich. Positiv zu bewerten ist die Einführung einer Lebenszeitachse und Parallelisierung mit dem Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Schlussfolgerungen: Die entwicklungsbezogene Neuorganisation in der ICD-11 wird auch eine verstärkte längsschnittliche Betrachtung von Angststörungen in der Klinik sowie Forschung zur Folge haben. Damit rückt insbesondere die Präventionsforschung weiter in den Fokus.

Diagnosis And Classification

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Third Edition (DSM-III) is often said to have provided a significant paradigm shift in how psychopathology is diagnosed. The authors of DSM-5 have the empirical support and the opportunity to lead the field of psychiatry to a comparably bold new future in diagnosis and classification. The purpose of this chapter is to address the validity of the categorical and dimensional models for the classification and diagnosis of psychopathology. Considered in particular will be research concerning substance use disorders, mood disorders, and personality disorders. Limitations and concerns with respect to a dimensional classification of psychopathology are also considered. The chapter concludes with a recommendation for a conversion to a more quantitative, dimensional classification of psychopathology.
