<p>Links between traits and mental disorders have been postulated off and on for centuries, but since a recent revival of interest within psychology, there has been a consistent and expanding field of research concerned with studying what is now widely accepted as the ‘personality- psychopathology relationship’. This thesis explores that field of research, considering what has led to its stagnation and apparent difficulty in reaching robust and useful conclusions. In doing so, I provide an overview and critique of the study of the personality-psychopathology relationship. Several limitations of recent research are identified and explored, specifically concerning its focus of inquiry, statistical methodology and conceptual foundations. Throughout the thesis, I discuss the appropriate scientific method(s) and necessary conceptual considerations involved in studying the relationship between personality and mental disorder, and make some suggestions about what is required for robust and reliable research in this area.</p>

The psychiatric reform that took place in Brazil carries characteristics of other movements that occurred in other parts of the world. The idea common to all movements is the struggle for the rights of the individual in mental suffering, seeking mainly the rupture of the mental model. These changes led to several transformations in the care scenario, for all professions directly linked to the patient. Nursing in turn has experienced and experiences significant changes in the provision of care. The aim of this study is to talk about nursing care for patients affected by mental disorder, making a temporal analysis of how this care occurred and how it presents itself in the current mental health conjuncture. The methodology is of the literature review type, which occurred through research in the databases BIREME, Lilacs, Scielo, BDENF and VHL. For this, the descriptors: nursing care for people with disorders were selected; nursing care for patients with mental disorders. In view of the results, it was evidenced that nurses are an important part of caring for patients with mental disorders, noting that these make up a multidisciplinary team and highlighting that care goes far beyond just caring for the patient, but that it consists mainly in the relationship with the patient's family, in bonding, in the work that aims at social reintegration and often also the family reinsertion of the individual. Profession that needs to undergo constant updates, but has experienced numerous transformations throughout this period of Reformation.

AbstractThe MentDis_ICF65+ Project is an epidemiological study of mental disorders in people 65 to 85 years old in several European cities, including Madrid. Its aim is to determine the lifetime, 12-month, and 1-month prevalence of the main mental disorders in the elderly. The relationship of age and sex with each mental disorder was examined. The sample was collected through random sampling of people over 65 in Madrid, and consisted of 555 persons between 65 and 85 years old. The CIDI65+ was administered. Estimates of prevalence and odds ratios (OR) were made using sample frequencies and according to sex and age. Excluding nicotine dependence, 40.12% of the sample was found to have suffered a mental disorder at some time in their lives, 29.89% in the past year, and 17.70% were currently suffering from a mental disorder. The disorders with the highest prevalence rates were anxiety disorders, alcohol-related disorders, and mood disorders. Elderly women had a higher risk of suffering an anxiety disorder (OR men/women 0.42; CI 0.25–0.68) with a significance level of p < .001, while elderly men were more affected by any substance-related disorder (OR men/women 3.96; CI 1.62–11.07) with a significance level of p < .001. Each disorder’s prevalence decreased with age (OR 65–74/75–85, 1.85; CI 1.25–2.75) with a significance level of p < .01. Results show higher prevalence rates than previous studies reported. The main implications of this study, and the need to adapt mental health services for people over 65, are highlighted.

Results: There were eight of 45 respondents experiencing mental disorders. The study found that three respondents were diagnosed with general anxiety disorder, three with depression, one with distimia, and one with mania at past. There was no significant relationship between mental disorders incidents and demographic characteristics. The relationship between types of mental disorders with a history of mental disorders in the nuclear family showed significant results. Conclusion: There were mental disorders in obese individuals. Most mental disorders diagnosis were depression and general anxiety disorder. Keywords: Obesity, Mental disorder

Abstract Introduction Burns constitute a major health problem accounting together with fires for more than 300.000 deaths per year worldwide and for a great rate of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). Identifying the relationship between mental disorders and burns is crucial since the former seems to constitute an important risk factor for the latter. At the same time, clinical experience and scientific evidence suggest that survivors of burns often develop psychiatric sequelae, causing poorer outcomes and lower quality of life. Methods We conducted a systematic review in order to study the relationship between burns and psychopathology as well as the quality of life. We used the search engine “PubMed” with the term “((psychiatric[Title/Abstract]) OR psychological[Title/Abstract]) AND burns[Title/Abstract]” without limits regarding the time of publication, resulting in 761 studies. Using the Covidence online platform that enables screening of the articles by two reviewers, we screened the articles, first by title and abstract and then by full text. Non-English papers or papers with no full texts will be excluded from the study. We aim to register the review in the official international prospective register of the National Institute for Health Research (PROSPERO). Results Preliminary results suggest that a history of mental disorder is common among burn patients, whether self-inflicted or not. Research tends to focus on self-inflicted burns which are expected to show such an association. Indeed, psychotic disorders, drug dependence and depression constitute significant risk factors for self-immolation. At the same time, the presence of a mental disorder may be associated with a worse prognosis (burn complications, patient morbidity, and mortality, multiple hospitalizations, increased cost for treatment). Burn survivors are also at risk for developing psychiatric complications, such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression and anxiety disorders, as well as experiencing a lower quality of life. It appears that the disfigurement, loss of function and change in body image perception caused by the burns lead to the emergence or recurrence of a psychiatric condition. Last but not least, the relationship between delirium in the Burns Intensive Care Unit patients is well established. Conclusions There seems to exist a significant ambidirectional connection between burns and mental disorders. Higher rates of mental disorders among burn patients in the pre- and post-burn period complicate the situation and lead to poorer results if left untreated. Applicability of Research to Practice Identifying risk factors for burns associated with the medical history, early recognition and appropriate treatment of mental disorders after the burn incident, improving rehabilitation and psychosocial re-integration of this patient population.

Stigma is one of the inhibiting factors in healing people with mental disorders.

AbstractIn the field of psychopathology there is still a lack of consensus on how mental disorders, such as depression, should be classified and explained. Many of our current classifications suffer from disorder heterogeneity and are conceptually vague. While some researchers have argued that mental disorders are better explained from a biological perspective, others have made the case for pluralistic and integrative explanations. Using depression as an extended example, we explore the challenges in classifying and explaining psychopathology. We begin by evaluating the current approaches to classification, including frameworks for what we consider a mental disorder. This is followed by a detailed summary of current explanatory perspectives in psychiatry. The relationship between classification and explanation presents unique theoretical challenges in understanding mental disorders. We suggest that by adjusting our focus from understanding syndromes to clinical phenomena we can advance our understanding of mental disorders.
