Objective: To know the prevalence of postpartum anxiety and depression in patients who received intrapartum oxytocin. Method: Across-sectional observational study was conducted in Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo hospital. Observation used Edinburgh Postnatal Depression scale and Beck Anxiety Inventory before delivery day, on the first and fourteenth day of postpartum. Result: Of 112 patients, we found the prevalence of mild and moderate anxiety were 94.6% and 5.4%. There were no anxiety women before delivery and on the first day of postpartum. The prevalence of mild and moderate anxiety on the fourteenth day of postpartum were 83% and 16.9%. There was no severe anxiety found at those time. On the other hand, the prevalence of postpartum depression on the first and fourteenth day of postpartum were 31.3% and 32.1%. There was no association between exogenous oxytocin and postpartum anxiety also depression. In multivariate analysis, we found that women with low self image were more prone to postpartum anxiety (OR 0.16, 95% CI 0.06-0.46). Meanwhile, postpartum depression was associated significantly to self image (OR 0.17, 95% CI 0.07-0.83), low income (OR 10.35, 95% CI 1.72-62.45) and pregnancy plan (OR 0.17, 95% CI 0.06-0.53) Conclusion: The patients who received intrapartum oxytocin are more prevalent to have mild anxiety. The prevalence of depression before delivery day, on the first and fourteenth day of postpartum are similar. In statistic, there is no relationship between intrapartum oxytocin administration and postpartum anxiety or depression.

The Relationship

Abstract Objectives Postpartum anxiety is associated with failure to meet breastfeeding (BF) goals. While BF self-efficacy is a potential moderator of this relationship, the relationship between postpartum anxiety, BF self-efficacy, and exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) has not yet been assessed. The objective was to assess relationships between EBF, anxiety, depression, and BF self-efficacy scores. Methods An online survey using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), and Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale (BSES) was conducted. Eligible mothers were ³ 18 years old, had infants 4–24 weeks old, and had provided breastmilk in the prior 2 weeks. Screening stratified by anxiety across 4 groups (no, low, moderate, high) using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD) tool to ensure sample variability. Possible score ranges for each scale were: GAD (0–21), STAI (20–80), EPDS (0–30), and BSES (14–70). Full sample correlations assessed relationships between STAI, EPDS, and BSES scores. Independent t-tests assessed for differences in scale scores by EBF status. Results Participants (n = 129) were primarily white (92.2%), non-Hispanic (90.7%), married (74.4%), and primiparous (62%). About half were low income and 56.6% reported EBF. Mean scale scores were as follows: GAD = 8.2 (+5.7); STAI = 24.6 (+12.9); EPDS = 9.7 (+4.6); and BSES = 56.8 (+11.4). STAI and EPDS scores were positively correlated (P < .001). BSES scores negatively correlated with STAI (P = .027) and EPDS (P < .001) scores. BSES scores were higher among those reporting EBF (60.0 vs. 53.3; P < .001). Conclusions In this sample of mostly white, non-Hispanic, married women, preliminary findings indicate potentially important relationships between BF self-efficacy and anxiety and depression, and suggest these relationships may impact EBF. Future work, increasing our understanding of the relationship between postpartum anxiety and EBF, may provide important intervention pathways.

Anxiety Depression

Depressive disorder, or depression, is one of the most common psychiatric diseases affecting millions worldwide. Anxiety disorders are also common. Most patients with anxiety refer to general practitioners with the signs of vegetative dysfunction. Anxiety per se occurs in 40% and is associated with depression (mixed anxiety-depressive disorder) IN 26%. Comorbidity of anxiety and depression is relatively high, and the extent of this comorbidity changes with aging. This paper reviews diagnostic and treatment modalities for anxiety and depression. Their diagnosis includes clinical examination and questionnaire. This paper describes Neuro Scanner, an application that includes four scales to diagnose anxiety and depression, i.e., the Veyn Scale, Spielberg Trait Anxiety scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and Montgomery–Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). To date, a large amount of data illustrating a significant genetic, neurobiological, and symptomatic similarity of depression and anxiety has been accumulated. This phenomenon accounts for the efficacy of the same drugs (e.g., antidepressants, anxiolytics, neuroleptics, etc.).

Background and objectives: There is a high coexistence between mental disorders and chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCD). Patients with chronic illnesses have higher rates of depression and anxiety when compared to the healthy individuals. The study aimed to estimate the prevalence of depression and anxiety and to explore the associated risk factors. Methods: A cross sectional study conducted in the NCD clinics of five health centers in the Kingdom of Bahrain included all patients attending these clinics from January 2016 to March 2016. Hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) was used to screen patients for depression and anxiety. Logistic regression analyses were used to identify risk factors associated with anxiety and depression. All the analyses were conducted using STATA 12; P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 456 patients were included in the study. Mild and moderate to severe type of depression were observed in 71 (15.6%) and 53 (11.6%) patients, respectively. According to the multivariable model, the odds of having high depression score was significantly higher in patients aged < 45 years (adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 2.01; P = 0.01), with low income (adjusted OR = 1.99; P = 0.02), with personal history of mental illness (adjusted OR = 5.13; P = 0.001), and with lower educational levels (P = 0.02). Mild and moderate to severe anxiety scores were observed in 55 (12.1%) and 34 (7.5%) patients, respectively. According to the multivariate model, the odds of having high anxiety score was significantly higher in females (adjusted OR = 2.85; P < 0.001), patients aged < 45 years (adjusted OR = 2.41; P = 0.005), in patients with low income (adjusted OR = 3.62; P < 0.001), and in those with personal history of mental illness (adjusted OR = 4.5; P = 0.004). Conclusion: There is a high prevalence of depression and anxiety among patients attending NCD clinics in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Therefore, screening of mental health diseases should be established.

Background: Studies have shown that caregivers of the persons with the neurological illness have high levels of psychological distress, depression and caregiver’s burden. The aim of the study was to find out anxiety, depression and caregiver’s burden among the caregivers of persons with neurological illness (PWNI). Method: Thirty caregivers of PWNI attending the Centre of Rehabilitation Sciences, LGB Regional Institute of Mental Health, Tezpur, Assam were selected using purposive sampling technique for the present study. Socio-demographic and clinical data sheet, Zarit Burden Interview Scale and The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were used. Results: The results shown that in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, 26.6% of the caregivers' scores were in the abnormal range in the domain of depression. While in the domain of anxiety, 16.6% scored in the abnormal range. In Zarit Burden of Scale, 13.3% of the caregivers were having little or no burden, 26.6% of the caregivers were having mild to moderate level of burden, 20% were having moderate to severe burden and 30% were having a severe burden of care. Care burden has significant positive correlation with depression (r= .124, p≤ 0.01 and anxiety (r= .124, p≤ 0.05). Conclusion: Caregivers of PWNI have been found to be at higher risk of mental health problems and care burden. The importance of addressing the burden of caregivers involved in the care of PWNI need to be taken into consideration while providing treatment and rehabilitation of PWNI.     Keywords: Anxiety, depression, burden, neurological illness

Introduction: Having impaired relations and limited interpersonal contact is associated with a sense of loneliness, and can result in a number of mental disorders, including the development of depression. Approximately one in five adolescents in the world suffers from depression, and first episodes of such are occurring at increasingly young ages. Due to a lack of appropriate support from parents, teachers and the healthcare system, the young person feels alone when dealing with their problem. Aims: The aims of this study are to determine the prevalence of anxiety, depression, aggression and sense of loneliness among high school students, and to analyze a correlation between loneliness and depression. Materials and methods: The study was conducted on 300 high school students in Poland. The study material was collected using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS-M) and De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale (DJGLS). Results: A feeling of loneliness correlated significantly with depressive disorders (p < 0.005), with the strongest effect between the total HADS-M score and the total loneliness scale score (r = 0.61). The overall presence of disorders as per HADS-M was found to be 23%, and borderline conditions were found in 19.3%. In 24% of the students, disorders were revealed on the anxiety subscale and in 46.3% on the aggression subscale. On DJGLS, a very severe sense of loneliness was observed in 6.67% of the subjects, and in 42.3% of them, a moderate feeling of loneliness was indicated. On the social loneliness subscale, a severe sense of loneliness was found in 22.7%, while on the emotional loneliness subscale, it was found in 16.7% of the subjects. Conclusions: In this study, a quarter of the student participants experienced anxiety and depression disorders. Students showing higher levels of anxiety, depression, and aggression also showed enhanced loneliness. Girls showed higher levels of anxiety, depression and aggression, as well as emotional loneliness.

Objectives:to assess the frequency of occurrence of the anxiety-depressive spectrum in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.Methods:A survey was conducted of 44 patients aged from 21 to 57 years (average age - 42.3 ± 6.7 years), who were treated at GAUZ KO OKGVV. All patients had a verified diagnosis of RA and AS according to the ACR criteria and received treatment with basic drugs. The control group consisted of 40 people comparable in age and sex, without concomitant pathology of RA and AS.The depression screening card, the subjective well-being scale, and the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) were used to assess and detect anxiety-depressive syndrome. The assessment of the condition is carried out over the last 2 weeks, which corresponds to the temporary diagnostic criterion for depression.The Depression Screening Scale is a 35-item self-questionnaire that assesses 7 categories of signs: sleep and appetite disorders, anxiety, emotional instability, cognitive impairment, loss of self, guilt, and suicidal tendencies. A total score of 65 and above indicates a high likelihood of depression.The Subjective Well-Being Scale is a psychodiagnostic screening tool for measuring the emotional component of subjective well-being or emotional comfort.Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale Zigmond A.S., Snaith R.P. was developed for the primary detection of depression and anxiety in a general medical practice. The HADS scale consists of 14 statements with 4 possible answers and includes two parts: anxiety and depression. The sum of points of 8 or more is regarded as “subclinically expressed anxiety / depression”, 11 or more points - “clinically expressed anxiety / depression”.Results:According to the results of the depression screening questionnaire, 34 (77.3%) patients with RA and AS showed signs of depression, while in the control group only 6 (15%) patients tested positive for the presence of depressive disorders. According to the data obtained when assessing the scale of well-being in the main group, 26 (59.1%) patients showed signs of emotional discomfort (the indicator was 80% or more), in the control group - in 6 (15%). Using the hospital scale of anxiety and depression HADS, anxiety-depressive syndrome was detected in 36 (81.8%) patients with RA and AS: 16 (44.4%) patients had anxiety, 20 (55.6%) - depression, of them, subclinically expressed anxiety and depression were observed in 10 (27.7%) and 12 (33.3%) people, respectively. Anxiety-depressive syndrome in the control group, according to the HADS questionnaire, was detected only in 8 (20%) patients, of whom 4 (10%) patients had subclinical anxiety and 4 (10%) had signs of depression. No clinically pronounced anxiety and depression were registered in the control group.Conclusion:In most patients with rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis, anxiety-depressive disorders have been identified, which can directly affect both the course of the disease itself and the development of various complications. Timely diagnosis of mental disorders and close cooperation of rheumatologists, psychiatrists and psychologists in the selection of adequate therapy can improve the course and prognosis of the disease.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

The action of hemodialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease can trigger anxiety due to situational crisis, death threat and not know the final result of hemodialysis action. The purpose of this systematic review is to gain an understanding of the anxiety of patients with chronic kidney disease with hemodialysis action. The results of a review of 15 journals that have been selected suggest that patients with chronic kidney disease with hemodialysis actions mostly experience anxiety. The most widely used instruments are (HADS) Hospital Anxiety And Depression Scale (n = 5). Factors affecting anxiety of chronic kidney disease patients with hemodialysis action are social demographic factors such as sex, age, occupation, duration of hemodialysis and education. Other factors are psychological, social perception, non pharmacological action (progressive muscular), (aroma therapy) and spiritual intelligence. The conclusion that anxiety disorder is very important, and appropriate Instrument will affect patient objective anxiety results. The need for a team collaborative approach to reduce anxiety of patients with chronic kidney disease by hemodialysis. Keywords : Anxiety, Chronic Kidney Disease, Hemodialysis

Background. Knowledge about mixed-methods perspectives that examine anxiety, depression, social support, mental health and the phenomenon of suffering among cognitively intact NH residents is scarce. We aimed to explore suffering and mental health among cognitively intact NH residents. Methods. This study used a mixed-methods design to explore different aspects of the same phenomena of interest to gain a more comprehensive understanding. The qualitative core component comprised a qualitative interview from 18 nursing home residents (≥65 years) about experiences related to pain, grief and loss. The supplementary component comprised interview from the same respondents using the SF-36 Health Survey subscales , the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Social Provisions Scale. Results. The individual descriptions reveal suffering caused by painful experiences during life. The quantitative results indicated that symptoms of anxiety and depression were related to mental health and symptoms of anxiety were related to bodily pain and emotional role limitations. Attachment and social integration were associated with vitality and social functioning. Discussion. To improve the situation, more attention should be paid to the residents’ suffering related to anxiety, depression and psychosocial relations.

There is a relationship between mental and physical health. Depression and anxiety are linked with the development of several chronic diseases. The purpose of the present study was to determine the prevalence and factors associated with anxiety and depression among adult hypertensive outpatients in Afghanistan. Methods. Two hundred thirty-four consecutive hypertensive patients from December 2015 to August 2016 were recruited to complete the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire, which has scores for classifying the participants having anxiety and depression symptoms. Results. Of the total 234 patients, 81 (34.6%) were males and 153 (65.4%) were females. The mean age was 54.6±12.7 for the hypertensive patients with anxiety and 63.8±15.0 for the hypertensive patients with depression while this figure was 49.5±10.2 for the adult participants in general population in Kabul city (Saeed, 2013). The prevalence of anxiety and depression (42.3% vs. 58.1%) among hypertensive persons is compared with the same mental disorders among Afghan refugees (39.3% vs. 22.1%) in Dalakee Refugee Camp (in Iran) (Hosseini Divkolaye and Burkle, 2017). Of the total participants, 99 had anxiety (42.3%), 136 had depression (58.1%), and 66 had (28.2%) comorbid anxiety-depression. Multivariate analysis was used. For anxiety age, female gender, smoking, diabetes mellitus, and 2 or more chronic diseases had a significant association. For depression, age and diabetes mellitus had a significant association, and for comorbid anxiety, depression, age, diabetes mellitus, and 2 or more chronic diseases had a significant association. Conclusion. This study shows that anxiety and depression are highly prevalent among hypertensive patients in an outpatient clinic in Afghanistan. There was an association between some sociodemographic and clinical characteristics and anxiety and depression. More studies are needed on a national level to inform the development of strategies for the prevention and control of psychological distress among patients with chronic diseases in Afghanistan.
