Download or read book Global Perspectives on Mental Physical Comorbidity in the WHO World Mental Health Surveys written by Michael R. Von Korff and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-31 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Mental Health Surveys were established by the World Health Organization in 2000 to provide valuable information for physicians and health policy planners. These surveys have shed light on the prevalence, correlates, burden, and treatment of mental disorders in countries throughout the world. This volume focuses on the epidemiology of coexisting physical and mental illness around the world. This book includes surveys from 17 discrete countries on six continents, covering epidemiology, risk factors, consequences, and implications for research, clinical work, and policy. Many physical and mental illnesses share a relationship with one another and often occur simultaneously. Clinicians from the disciplines of both psychiatry and medicine are increasingly faced with both challenges on a daily basis, making this an ideal book for a wide range of health professionals. This is the first book devoted to this topic on such a wide-ranging scale.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Depression and Comorbidity written by C. Steven Richards and published by Oxford Library of Psychology. This book was released on 2014 with total page 673 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depression is frequently associated with other psychiatric disorders and is often related to chronic health problems. Depressive symptoms are also common in chronically distressed close relationships and severe interpersonal difficulties in families and at work. The topic of depressive comorbidity is clearly very important, and while recent research in this area has been methodologically sophisticated, well presented, and inherently interesting, there has not been a comprehensive, academic resource that covers recent developments in this area. The Oxford Handbook of Depression and Comorbidity brings together scholarly contributions from world-class researchers to present a careful and empirically based review of depressive comorbidity. Cutting-edge chapters address theory, research, and practice, while capturing the diversity, evidence-base, and importance of depressive comorbidity. Specific topics include the comorbidity between depression and PTSD, alcohol use, and eating, anxiety, panic, bipolar, personality, and sleep disorders, as well as schizophrenia, suicide, cardiovascular disease, cancer, pain, obesity, intimate relationships, and many more. The Oxford Handbook of Depression and Comorbidity is a unique and much-needed resource that will be helpful to a broad range of researchers and practitioners including clinical and counseling psychologists, psychiatrists, marital and family therapists, social workers, and counselors working in mental-health and general health-care settings, as well as students in these areas.

Download or read book Mood and Anxiety Disorders written by Esther Cornelia Maria De Kemp and published by Boom Koninklijke Uitgevers. This book was released on 2001 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mood and anxiety disorders are the most prevalent psychiatric disorders and the their symptoms also frequently co-occur. In the present thesis, the implications of this so called comorbitidy of mood and anxiety disorders for the accuracy of psychiatric diagnosis and the implications of such comorbidity for treatment with antidepressants has been explored. The past three decades have witnessed considerable progress in the pharmacological treatment of mood disorders. The efficacy of antidepressants has not been restricted to mood disorders, however. Patients with anxiety disorders also appear to benefit from treatment with antidepressants. Even though there is a growing knowledge of the efficacy of different antidepressants and their range of utility, it is still not possible to predict with accuracy response to antidepressants in mood and anxiety disorders, or to find meaningful differences between antidepressants. Apart from evidence that tricyclic antidepressants (TCA) are probably more effective for the treatment of severely depressed patients, no differences in the efficacy of TCAs versus SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) have been found for the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders. The present research is therefore an attempt to detect any differences in the efficacy of different antidepressants. Therefore, response to treatment with TCAs versus SSRIs has been examined within a broad range of patients suffering from either a mood disorder, an anxiety disorder, or both. In doing this, the selection bias associated with the use of single diagnostic categories is presumably reduced. Alternative models for the identification of subgroups of patients responding differentially to antidepressant treatment were explored. Of particular interest were the role of primary diagnosis and the role of temperament to detect response differences. The major finding was that primary diagnosis (i.e., diagnosis at first episode in a patient's lifetime) appears to be a more valuable concept for differentiation of antidepressant treatment response than current DSM categorisation as a mood and/or anxiety disorder.

The authors discuss the clinical challenge of managing cardiovascular illnesses, cancer, infectious diseases and other physical illness when they occur with a range of mental and behavioral disorders, including substance abuse, eating disorders and anxiety. Also covered are the organization of health services, the training of different categories of health personnel and the multidisciplinary engagement necessary to prevent and manage comorbidity effectively.

Download or read book Selected Health Conditions and Likelihood of Improvement with Treatment written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-07-12 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Social Security Administration (SSA) administers two programs that provide disability benefits: the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. SSDI provides disability benefits to people (under the full retirement age) who are no longer able to work because of a disabling medical condition. SSI provides income assistance for disabled, blind, and aged people who have limited income and resources regardless of their prior participation in the labor force. Both programs share a common disability determination process administered by SSA and state agencies as well as a common definition of disability for adults: "the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months." Disabled workers might receive either SSDI benefits or SSI payments, or both, depending on their recent work history and current income and assets. Disabled workers might also receive benefits from other public programs such as workers' compensation, which insures against work-related illness or injuries occurring on the job, but those other programs have their own definitions and eligibility criteria. Selected Health Conditions and Likelihood of Improvement with Treatment identifies and defines the professionally accepted, standard measurements of outcomes improvement for medical conditions. This report also identifies specific, long-lasting medical conditions for adults in the categories of mental health disorders, cancers, and musculoskeletal disorders. Specifically, these conditions are disabling for a length of time, but typically don't result in permanently disabling limitations; are responsive to treatment; and after a specific length of time of treatment, improve to the point at which the conditions are no longer disabling.
