Background: The Covid-19 pandemic could have an adverse impact on both physical and psychosocial conditions. Physical distancing encourages a person to be unable to perform activities normally to reduce the likelihood of transmission. Physical distancing must be done by everyone, including students and their families. This condition can lead to feelings of loneliness, boredom, and anxiety. Another impact that society feels is the onset of unrest due to financial condition, employment, and future life plans. Anxiety and anxiety caused by the Covid-19 pandemic resulted in the emergence of mental health problems and emotional mental disorders.  Purpose: This study aimed to find out the picture of mental health and emotional mental disorders in students and families during the Covid 19 Pandemic.Methods: The research design used is a descriptive crossectional. The population in this study was students of Nursing Diploma 3 Study Program STIKES Karya Husada Kediri and his family. Fifty-six students were selected as sample members, through random sampling techniques. The variables in this study were mental health and emotional mental disorders. Data retrieval is carried out from 6 to 20 June 2020, with the instrument Self Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-29). Descriptive analysis of data is performed with the help of frequency distribution tables.Results: The results of the study found that there were 2 respondents (3.6%) psychological disorders (anxiety and depression), none (0%) psychoactive disorders/drug use. Research data also shows that there are 5 respondents (8.9%) psychotic disorders, as well as 16 respondents (28.6%) PTSD disorder. Mental health disorders experienced by respondents are emotional mental disorders with symptoms of fear, worry, anxiety, tension and even excessive headaches. Mental health disorders result in impaired daily life activities.Conclusion: To prevent an increase in the number of people with emotional mental disorders in students and their families, there needs to be educational efforts that contain how to avoid and overcome emotional mental disorders that occur and the need for psychosocial mental health support in students and their families

Two Barriers

Over the last decades, many specialists have worked tirelessly to improve the lives of people affected by mental health problems. The topic has also received increasing political and funding priority. However, despite global efforts, progress in understanding, predicting, and treating mental health problems remain disappointing. I discuss two barriers to progress. The first is diagnostic literalism, the tendency to take mental health diagnoses for more than they are. The second is reductionism, aiming to understand mental health problems by reducing them to a few (often biological) elements. Both views result from, and in turn reinforce the problematic premise that mental health diagnoses cut nature at her joints. Conceptualizing mental disorders as complex, biopsychosocial systems is a crucial shift. It provides us with new lenses through which we can study mental health disorders, and also has the potential to provide new levers, similar to other disciplines such as biology, medicine, and ecology where understanding systems has provided novel tools for intervention.

Neuroimaging Genetics

Enormous progress has been made in recognizing the scope of mental health problems for children around the world, and in developing the theoretical framework needed to address decreasing this burden in a systematic fashion. Technological advances in neuroimaging, genetics, and computational biology are providing the tools to start describing the biological processes underlying the complex course of development, and have renewed appreciation of the role of the environment in determining how a genetic heritage is expressed. However, rapid technological change is also altering the environment of children and their families at an unprecedented rate, and what kinds of challenges to public health these changes may present is not yet fully understood. What is becoming clear is that as technological advances increase the range of available health care treatments, along with the potential cost, the choices for societies between spending limited resources on treatment or prevention will have to become increasingly deliberate. A substantial body of work has demonstrated that prevention in mental health can be effective, but those who would benefit the most from preventive interventions are often not those with the political or economic resources to make them a priority. While the potential interventions to prevent mental health disorders in children are constrained by the knowledge and resources available, what is actually done depends upon the social and political values of individual communities and nations. It is to be hoped that as our understanding of these disorders grows, public policies to prevent the development of mental health disorders in children will become as commonplace a responsibility for modern societies as the provision of clean drinking water.

SummaryThe finding that induced abortion is a risk factor for subsequent psychiatric disorder in some women raises important clinical and training issues for psychiatrists. It also highlights the necessity for developing evidence-based interventions for these women. P.C. / Evidence suggesting a modest increase in mental health problems after abortion does not support the prominence of psychiatric issues in the abortion debate, which is primarily moral and ethical not psychiatric or scientific.

The Impact

HIV-positive children and adolescents are at increased risk of both central nervous system (CNS) sequelae and mental disorders owing to a number of factors, including the impact of HIV infection on the brain, social determinants of health (e.g. poverty and orphanhood) and psychosocial stressors related to living with HIV. Every effort should be made to identify perinatally HIV-infected children and initiate them on antiretroviral therapy early in life. HIV clinicians should ideally screen for mental health and neurocognitive problems, as part of the routine monitoring of children attending antiretroviral clinics. This guideline is intended as a reference tool for HIV clinicians to support the early identification, screening and management of mental health disorders and/or CNS impairment in children and adolescents. This guideline covers mental disorders (section 1) and HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (section 2) among children and adolescents.

Psychiatric Problems

Mental health is one of the significant health problems arising from the inability of individuals to manage stress which will direct individual behavior to destructive behavior where the peak of the behavior is suicide. Gunungkidul Regency is the area that ranks first in the national suicide rate, where one of these areas is located in a research location in a hamlet in Gunungkidul with suicides due to mental health problems. The level of awareness of a person against mental disorders varies and the level of sensitivity is different. Early detection is very necessary to screen for mental health problems early using the Self Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ) to minimize the vulnerability of citizens experiencing psychiatric problems that are often referred to as people with psychiatric problems. Descriptive analysis results illustrate that of the 43 respondents who experienced mental emotional distress or mental stress that led to a number of 11 respondents (25.6%). Based on these results it can be concluded that there is a picture of emotional mental distress or distress that leads to mental disorders in the community in one of the village in Gunungkidul 2020.

The Relationship

Abstract Background Recent investigations have demonstrated a significant prevalence of mental health disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and suicidal ideation, plans and attempts among Canadian public safety personnel, including police officers. What remains unknown is the relationship between mental disorders and suicide among sworn police officers, and the prevalence of both among civilian police workers. Aims To examine the relationship between suicidal ideation, plans and attempts and positive mental health screens for depression, anxiety, panic disorder, alcohol abuse and PTSD among Canadian sworn and civilian police employees. Methods Participants completed an online survey that included self-report screening tools for depression, anxiety, panic disorder, alcohol abuse and PTSD. Respondents were also asked if they ever contemplated, planned or attempted suicide. Between-group (Royal Canadian Mounted Police [RCMP], provincial/municipal police and civilians) differences on mental health screening tools were calculated using Kruskal–Wallis analyses. The relationship between mental disorders and suicidal ideation, plans and attempts was evaluated with a series of logistic regressions. Results There were 4236 civilian and sworn officer participants in the study. RCMP officers reported more suicidal ideation than other police and scored highest on measures of PTSD, depression, anxiety, stress and panic disorder, which were significantly associated with suicidal ideation and plans but not attempts. Relative to provincial and municipal police, civilians reported more suicide attempts and scored higher on measures of anxiety. Conclusions The results identify a strong relationship between mental health disorders and increased risk for suicidal ideation, plans and attempts among sworn and civilian Canadian police employees.

In recent years, more countries have decriminalized and legalized cannabis, and have become cannabis tourism destinations. Little has been published about individuals with pre-existing mental health disorders who use cannabis during travel. Health professionals should pay greater attention to cannabis use among vulnerable travellers before, during, and after their travel.
