This book was released on 2021 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les difficultés à déterminer quels traitements sont les plus adéquats pour traiter l'insomnie dans le trouble dépressif majeur (TDM) découlent de la diversité des thérapies disponibles et de la relation bidirectionnelle entre ces deux troubles. Les patients ayant des antécédents de TDM sont plus susceptibles de développer de l'insomnie et réciproquement. Au cours de cette revue systématique nous avons voulu déterminer l'efficacité des thérapies sur l'insomnie chez les patients déprimés avec des résultats objectifs extraits des mesures d'EEG ou de la polysomnographie. Onze ECR ont été inclus dans l'étude, avec une population totale de 468 patients diagnostiqués comme souffrant d'insomnie et de dépression. Cinq études ont comparé un antidépresseur à un autre ou à un placebo (137 patients) ; deux ont comparé la nefazodone ou la mirtazapine à la fluoxétine. Un essai a comparé la trimipramine à l'imipramine. Un essai a comparé l'agomelatine à la mirtazapine. Un essai a comparé la trazodone au placebo. Une étude a exploré l'efficacité de la stimulation transcrânienne à courant continu (tDCS) (90 patients), comparée à une tDCS simulée. Deux études (143 patients) ont comparé deux types de psychothérapie à un placebo. L'une à un antidépresseur et l'autre à un groupe sur liste d'attente. Une étude a utilisé la thérapie cognitivo-comportementale, spécifique de l'insomnie, par rapport à l'escitalopram ou des conseils d'hygiène de sommeil et une autre a comparé la thérapie pleine conscience (TPC) à un groupe sur liste d'attente. Une étude a comparé l'eszopiclone au placebo (60 patients). Une étude a utilisé la comparaison de l'hygiène du sommeil (privation régulière partielle de sommeil) (PRPS) comme adjuvant d'un traitement de fond par trimipramine, à la trimipramine seule. Un essai a étudié le seltorexant, un antagoniste sélectif du récepteur de l'orexine, par rapport au placebo. La grande variété des thérapies étudiées et le nombre restreint de patients pour chaque essai nous empêchent de conclure à des recommandations pour une application en pratique clinique. Malgré la majorité des études sur les antidépresseurs, les médicaments étudiés étaient hétérogènes et comparés à différents médicaments ou placebo. Cependant, la plupart des essais ont signalé une amélioration de l'insomnie, surajouté à un effet modeste sur les symptômes de dépression. Grâce à nos critères d'éligibilité, l'évaluation de l'insomnie et les effets de chaque traitement ont été quantifiés par polysomnographie, fournissant ainsi des résultats concrets. L'innocuité et l'efficacité des psychothérapies et de la tDCS représentent néanmoins des indices pour la recherche au cours d'essais randomisés de grande ampleur.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'insomnie est un trouble du sommeil se manifestant par des difficultés d'endormissement ou de maintien du sommeil entrainant une détresse cliniquement significative chez ceux qui en souffrent. Il est démontré que les rêves des personnes souffrant d'insomnie tendent à être plus négatifs que ceux des bons dormeurs, ce qui amène à s'interroger sur la perception du rêve chez les individus atteints d'insomnie ainsi que leur besoin d'aborder ce sujet en thérapie. La présente étude qualitative s'est ainsi intéressée à l'expérience du rêve chez les personnes souffrant d'insomnie ayant effectué une thérapie cognitivo-comportementale. Cinq participants ont été recrutés dans une clinique du sommeil. Leur consentement a été obtenu pour consulter leurs réponses à l'Index de sévérité de l'insomnie pré et post-traitement, puis leurs agendas de sommeil deux semaines avant leur traitement et à la fin de celui-ci. Une entrevue individuelle a été réalisée et enregistrée de façon audio afin d'en analyser le contenu. Les résultats démontrent que les participants accordent peu d'importance à leurs rêves, même s'ils sont négatifs. Ils n'auraient pas considéré pertinent de discuter de leurs rêves en thérapie. Leur priorité était de traiter leurs difficultés de sommeil, mais ils seraient tout de même ouverts à discuter de leurs rêves si cela s'avérait pertinent à leur situation. Les motifs jugés acceptables pour parler des rêves sont : la présence de cauchemars, de détresse associée aux rêves, de rêves perturbant la qualité de sommeil et le fonctionnement diurne, puis l'analyse de rêves afin de comprendre la cause des difficultés sous-jacentes d'un individu. La compréhension présentée ici permet d'obtenir un aperçu préliminaire de la perception du rêve chez les personnes souffrant d'insomnie ainsi que de leurs besoins à cet égard. Les résultats démontrent que certaines personnes souffrant d'insomnie ne ressentiraient pas le besoin de discuter de leurs rêves en thérapie.

Download or read book A Report on Mental Illnesses in Canada written by Canada. Health Canada and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is designed to raise the profile of mental illness in Canada among government & non-governmental organizations and the industry, education, workplace, & academic sectors. It describes major mental illnesses and outlines their incidence & prevalence, causation, impact, stigma, and prevention & treatment. Data presented are based on currently available provincial studies & data on mortality and hospitalizations. Five mental illnesses have been selected for inclusion in the report by virtue of their high prevalence rates or because of the magnitude of their health, social, & economic impact: mood disorders, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, and eating disorders. While not in itself a mental illness, suicidal behaviour is also included since it is highly correlated with mental illness and raises many similar issues. The appendix includes information on data sources and a call for action on building consensus for a national action plan on mental illness & mental health.

Download or read book Thickening Fat written by May Friedman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-08-30 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thickening Fat: Fat Bodies, Intersectionality, and Social Justice seeks to explore the multiple, variable, and embodied experiences of fat oppression and fat activisms. Moving beyond an analysis of fat oppression as singular, this book will aim to unpack the volatility of fat—the mutability of fat embodiments as they correlate with other embodied subjectivities, and the threshold where fat begins to be reviled, celebrated, or amended. In addition, Thickening Fat explores the full range of intersectional and liminal analyses that push beyond the simple addition of two or more subjectivities, looking instead at the complex alchemy of layered and unstable markers of difference and privilege. Cognizant that the concept of intersectionality has been filled out in a plurality of ways, Thickening Fat poses critical questions around how to render analysis of fatness intersectional and to thicken up intersectionality, where intersectionality is attenuated to the shifting and composite and material dimensions to identity, rather than reduced to an “add difference and stir” approach. The chapters in this collection ask what happens when we operationalize intersectionality in fat scholarship and politics, and we position difference at the centre and start of inquiry.

Download or read book Confronting Poverty in Iraq written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2011-01-10 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides the most comprehensive and rigorous analysis of Iraqi income and expenditure in several decades. The report makes extensive use of the Iraq Household Socio-Economic Survey, the first nationwide income and expenditure survey since 1988. IHSES data is complemented income and expenditure data from a wide range of other measures of living standards, allowing us to analyze living standards in a holistic way. The analysis presented here was performed with two main goals first, to inform the Government s Poverty Reduction Strategy; and second, to serve as a baseline for future assessments of changes in living standards and the identification of critical issues for deeper examination. Iraqi living standards have two unusual characteristics. First, they have fallen over the past generation. Second, they feature surprisingly little inequality. These characteristics are both rooted in Iraq s recent history of authoritarian government, war, military occupation, insurgency, and civil strife leading to infrastructure destruction and population displacement. There have been few opportunities for individuals to prosper from professional or entrepreneurial activities. Decades of neglected investment have resulted in deterioration of social services and economic infrastructure. Consequently, individuals have lacked capabilities to prosper and an investment climate conducive to prosperity. School enrollment and life expectancy have declined. Extremely low returns to education reflect the combination of poor educational quality and lack of employment opportunities. In terms of economic infrastructure, access to reliable electricity and water, and even access to paved roads are low, are further reflections of decades of neglect. While the upper end of the distribution has been pulled down by a lack of opportunities, the lower end has been supported by direct government provision of food. The Public Distribution System (PDS) provides 85 percent of food needs. While PDS has been useful as a safety net for the poor and the vulnerable, the system is expensive, inefficient, and fiscally risky. Indeed, PDS food rations account for a far greater share of public spending than does education or health. Going forward, Iraq faces two main challenges. First, although Iraq does not have to develop from scratch, it faces a formidable challenge in re-development. Second, a shift by the Government is required from direct provision of basic subsistence toward investment in human capacities. The Government can provide an enabling environment through investments in economic infrastructure and services to business and citizens, thus allowing the population to make productive use of education and their own labor. Both challenges are now being taken up by the Poverty Reduction Strategy, which articulates a detailed set of required actions and outlines priorities for government spending.

Download or read book Explanatory Style written by Gregory McClell Buchanan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-23 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first work to condense the large literature on explanatory style -- one's tendency to offer similar sorts of explanations for different events. This cognitive variable has been related to psychopathology, physical health, achievement and success. Compiled by experts in the fields of depression, anxiety, psychoneuroimmunology and motivation, this volume details our current level of understanding, outlines gaps in our knowledge, and discusses the future directions of the field. Data from a vast number of studies are presented, including results from studies not previously reported. Coverage includes sections on cross-cultural comparisons, life-span and development issues, and gender differences; and an extensive description of the measurement of explanatory style offering questionnaire and content-analysis methods for children, college populations and adults. This work is thus a valuable tool for anyone involved in research on the etiology and treatment of depression, cognitive therapy, motivation and emotion, and the link between physical and psychological well-being.

Download or read book The Explicitation Interview written by Pierre Vermersch and published by Explicitation Interview. This book was released on 2007-07 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was first published in French in 1994. It has been a training support to numerous researchers as well as practitioners, such as teachers, health workers, personal or sport trainers. Since then, it has constantly been republished and a glossary has been added in 1998. This version is the first complete edition of the book in English. The main idea of this new interview technique is to help a teacher, a supervisor or a researcher to guide the student, the practitioner or the subject to give a fine retrospective description of an action. As it is only the subject that has access to this mental or physical action, the goal is to help the subject with the verbalization, putting the implicit knowledge of this action in words. Yet, to achieve this verbalization, we need guidance, because we don't know how to give such a description ourselves. If we leave the interviewee without guidance, he risks remaining in the implicit, speaking in a general way, or in an incomplete or imprecise way, commenting instead of describing. The explicit and precise description we aim is the opposite of the implicit, meaning a fine, detailed and complete way of putting the action in words. The final aim is to elucidate what the subject did to seek his goal

Download or read book Innovations in Global Mental Health written by Samuel O. Okpaku and published by Springer. This book was released on 2021-11-03 with total page 1612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of the last decade, political and mental entities at large have embraced global mental health: the idea that psychiatric health is vital to improved quality of life. Physicians globally have implemented guidelines recommended by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in 2007, thereby breaking down barriers to care and improving quality of life in areas where these practices have been implemented. Programs for training and education have expanded as a result. Clinicians benefit more from both local resources in some regions as well as in international collaboration and technological advancements. Even amidst all of these positive outcomes, clinicians still face some stumbling blocks. With worldwide statistics estimating that 450 million people struggle with mental, neuropsychiatric, and neurological disorders—25 percent of the world’s non-communicable disease burden—rising to these challenges prove to be no small feat, even in wealthy Western nations. Various articles and books have been published on global mental health, but few of them thoroughly cover the clinical, research, innovative, and social implications as they pertain to psychiatry; often, only one of these aspects is covered. A comprehensive text that can keep pace with the rapidly evolving literature grows more and more valuable each day as clinicians struggle to piece together the changes around the world that leave open the possibility for improved outcomes in care. This book seeks to boldly rectify this situation by identifying innovative models of service delivery, training, education, research funding, and payment systems that have proven to be exemplary in implementation and scalability or have potential for scalability. Chapters describe specific barriers and challenges, illuminating effective strategies for improved outcomes. This text is the first peer-reviewed resource to gather prestigious physicians in global mental health from around the world and disseminate their expertise in the medical community at large in a format that is updateable, making it a truly cutting-edge resource in a world constantly changed by medical, scientific, and technological advances. Innovations in Global Mental Health is the ultimate resource for psychiatrists, psychologists, primary care physicians, hospitalists, policy makers, and all medical professionals at the forefront of global mental health and its implications for the future.
