In order to study the dynamics of indicators of the incidence of neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disorders in the rural population of Ukraine, an analysis of statistical data of reporting forms No. 10 “Report on diseases of persons with mental and behavioral disorders” reflecting the objectively taken into account the incidence of neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disorders for 2000 - 2017 years. The analysis revealed the main features of neurotic morbidity associated with stress and somatoform disorders in the rural population of Ukraine for the period from 2000 to 2017. Thus, the primary incidence rate of neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disorders in the rural population of Ukraine for the period from 2000 to 2017 decreased by 9.11% (from 45.0 per 100 thousand of the rural population in 2000 to 40, 9 per 100 thousand urban population in 2017). The overall incidence rate of neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disorders in the rural population of Ukraine tended to gradually increase, from 259.0 in 2000 to 313.3 per 100 thousand rural population in 2017. A significant proportion of neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disorders in the structure of the incidence of non-psychotic mental disorders and the identified regional features of the dynamics of the primary and general morbidity of neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disorders in the rural population of Ukraine should be taken into account when developing organizational measures to optimize the system of assistance and prevention rural mental health disorders.

Based on the reporting forms No. 10 "Report on diseases of persons with mental and behavioral disorders" for the period from 2000 to 2017, a clinical-statistical analysis of the dynamics of the prevalence of organic non-psychotic mental disorders in the rural population of Ukraine is presented, as well as changes in the structure of the incidence of non-psychotic mental disorders. The data presented indicate signifi cant fl uctuations in the incidence and prevalence rates. A significant proportion of organic nonpsychotic mental disorders in the structure of the incidence of nonpsychotic mental disorders in rural residents requires the adoption of appropriate organizational measures to optimize the system of assistance and prevention of mental health disorders in the rural population.

A Prospective Study

A prospective study of all suicidal behaviors by burns requiring hospitalization was conducted in the province of Khorasan, Iran, from March 21, 2005 to March 20, 2006, to examine marital status, urbanity and literacy among these patients. Data were obtained through interviews during the course of hospitalization. A total of 130 patients with suicidal behavior by burns were identified (incidence rate of 2.9 per 100,000). Females had a higher rate of suicidal behavior by burns than males (4.2 vs. 1.6 per 100,000, P < 0.001). The rate of suicidal behavior by burns was higher among single persons than married persons(4.3 vs. 3.5 per 100,000). The rate of suicidal behavior by burns among the rural population was slightly higher than the urban population (3.2 vs. 2.7 per 100,000). The high rate of suicidal behavior by burns among young, married women in Khorasan is a social tragedy.

Mental Health Concerns

Background: Despite the high prevalence of mental health disorders worldwide, a significant proportion of distressed individuals do not seek professional help. Digital technology can be a potential bridge to reduce the treatment gap for mental disorders. A systematic review was undertaken to examine the technology-based interventions aimed at improving help-seeking attitude, intention, or behavior for mental health concerns. Methods: The literature search was conducted in January–February 2020 through various e-databases using relevant keywords that targeted help-seeking interventions for mental health disorders via different technology modes. Results: 21 studies (15 randomized controlled trials and six non-randomized studies) were reviewed. The included studies were published between April 2006 to February 2020. Majority of the interventions led to an increase in the help-seeking variables. The crucial role of online delivery, participant involvement, and embedded links to professional services in encouraging help-seeking is highlighted. The review emphasizes the need for understanding utility of multicomponent interventions with personalized elements targeting help-seeking behavior, particularly in low-middle-income countries, and studies involving longer duration follow-ups. Conclusion: This systematic review is the first of its kind to examine technology-based interventions to improve help-seeking for mental health and suggests that such interventions play a crucial role in positively impacting help-seeking. The complex interplay between the relevant variables such as mental health literacy, stigma, help-seeking attitude, intention and behavior, and the intervention components that may have a differential bearing on these variables are issues that merit urgent attention in further research.

Background: Education is inversely associated with cardiovascular disease. Several mediators for this association have been established but a significant proportion of the protective effect remains unaccounted for. Mental health is a proposed mediator, but current evidence is mixed and subject to bias from confounding factors and reverse causation. Mendelian randomisation (MR) is an instrumental variable technique that uses genetic proxies for exposures and mediators to reduce such bias. Methods and Results: We used logistic regression and two-step MR analyses to investigate whether educational attainment affects risk of mental health disorders. We then performed observational and MR mediation analyses to explore whether mental health disorders mediate the association between educational attainment and risk of cardiovascular disease. Higher levels of educational attainment were associated with reduced depression, anxiety and cardiovascular disease in observational analyses [Odds Ratio (95% Confidence interval) 0.79 (0.77-0.81), 0.76 (0.73-0.79) and 0.79 (0.78-0.81) respectively], and MR analyses provided support for these reflecting causal effects [OR (95% CI) 0.72 (0.67-0.77), 0.50 (0.42-0.59) and 0.62 (0.58-0.66) respectively]. Both anxiety and depression were associated with cardiovascular disease in observational analyses [OR (95% CI) 1.63 (1.49-1.79) and OR (95% CI) 1.70 (1.59-1.82) respectively] but only depression was associated in the MR analyses [OR (95% CI) 1.09 (1.03-1.15)]. Roughly 6% of the total protective effect of education on cardiovascular disease was mediated by depression. Conclusions: Higher levels of educational attainment protect against mental health disorders and reduced depression accounts for a small proportion of the total protective effect of education on cardiovascular disease.
