Essential Nutrient

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.

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.

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.

Abstract Objective: This study documents the effects that various dietary factors have on mental health among those suffering with premenstrual syndrome (PMS). DESIGN/Methods: N=3231 participants from around the world took an 85 question questionnaire that assessed depression and anxiety using the DSM-5 [The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Volume 5] criteria, as well as various dietary patterns. Depression was classified as: Less than 7 none, 7 to 10 mild, 11 to 19 moderate and more than 20 severe. Results: From n=3231 that took the test, n=1330 reported suffering from PMS. The average age from the n=1330 group was 35.1 ST 12.2. Regarding meat n=1002 reported not eating meat twice a week, they had an average depression of 12 and SD of 7.7, n=328 eating meat twice a week they had a depression of 13.6 and SD of 7.3. Regarding cheese n=720 reported not eating cheese more than twice a week, they had an average depression of 11 and SD 7.6, n=610 were eating cheese twice a week and had a depression of 14 and SD 7.5. Regarding folate N=597 were eating folate rich foods at least 3 times a week, they had an average depression of 10.1 SD 7.5, n=356 were eating irregularly folate rich food less than 3 times a week they had a depression of 13.1 SD 7.2, n=377 did not eat folate eat rich food at least 3 times a week they had a depression of 15.2 and SD 7.3. Regarding fish n=134 were eating fish more than twice a week they had an average depression of 12.6 and SD 7.4, n=1196 were not eating fish twice a week they had a depression of 12.3 SD 7.7 Regarding whole foods n=225 were eating more than 5 portions of fruits, vegetables and whole grain each day had an average depression of 9.6 SD 7.6, those that were eating 3 to 4 portions (n=453) had a depression of 10.8 SD 7.6, those eating 1 or 2 portions (n=512) had a depression of 14.1 SD 7.6, those eating less than 1 portion daily (n=140) had a depression of 15.2 SD 6.9. Regarding alcohol n=132 were drinking alcohol more than twice a week they had an average depression of 16.5 SD 7.2, n=1198 were not drinking alcohol more than twice a week they had a depression of 11.9 SD 7.6. Conclusions: It seems that among those suffering from PMS eating fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and folate rich foods was related to less depression symptoms while alcohol, meat and cheese consumption was related to worse depression maybe due to a hormonal effect. It seems fish didn’t have an effect.

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.

Empirical Thought

In this chapter, the authors provide a broad overview of diagnosable psychiatric disorders, their symptoms, and examples of current theoretical and empirical thought underlying these conditions. In providing a primer concerning mental health, they first review the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5), with respect to how psychopathology is defined and the nature of the diagnostic system. They then shift to definitions, key examples, and example theories for (i) clinical disorders (e.g., depressive and anxiety disorders), (ii) personality disorders (with an emphasis on borderline and antisocial personality disorders), and (iii) substance use disorders. While this chapter draws heavily from the DSM-5, such is done primarily for educational and illustrative purposes within the broader context of discussing key issues related to the behavioral science of firearms.

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.

Abstract. Introduction: With advances in medicine, our understanding of diseases has deepened and diagnostic criteria have evolved. Currently, the most frequently used diagnostic systems are the ICD (International Classification of Diseases) and the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) to diagnose alcohol-related disorders. Results: In this narrative review, we follow the historical developments in ICD and DSM with their corresponding milestones reflecting the scientific research and medical considerations of their time. The current diagnostic concepts of DSM-5 and ICD-11 and their development are presented. Lastly, we compare these two diagnostic systems and evaluate their practicability in clinical use.

Icd 10

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.
