Women-specific mental disorders in DSM-V: are we failing again?

Wittchen, Hans-Ulrich 20 February 2013 (has links) (PDF)
Despite a wealth of studies on differences regarding the biobehavioral and social–psychological bases of mental disorders in men and women and repeated calls for increased attention, women-specific issues have so far not been comprehensively addressed in past diagnostic classification systems of mental disorders. There is also increasing evidence that this situation will not change significantly in the upcoming revisions of ICD-11 and DSM-V. This paper explores reasons for this continued failure, highlighting three major barriers: the fragmentation of the field of women's mental health research, lack of emphasis on diagnostic classificatory issues beyond a few selected clinical conditions, and finally, the “current rules of game” used by the current DSM-V Task Forces in the revision process of DSM-V. The paper calls for concerted efforts of researchers, clinicians, and other stakeholders within a more coherent and comprehensive framework aiming at broader coverage of women-specific diagnostic classificatory issues in future diagnostic systems.

Från sorg till professionellt samtalsstöd i sorgearbetet efter en närståendes död : - En kvalitativ studie utifrån fem sörjandes upplevelser. / From grief to use of professional therapeutic conversation in mourning the death of a loved one : - A qualitative study of the experiences of five bereaved.

Elfström, Teresa January 2012 (has links)
Syftet med studien har varit att undersöka varför, hur och med vilket resultat en del sörjande söker professionellt samtalsstöd efter en närståendes död. Som forskningsdesign valdes en kvalitativ deskriptiv studie omfattande halvstrukturerade intervjuer med fem sörjande. Datamaterialet analyserades enligt Tema Analys. Studiens resultat pekar på att deltagarna har upplevt att deras sorg och behov av en längre sjukskrivning i sorgearbetet inte tagits på allvar av varken läkare, försäkringskassan eller arbetsgivare, vilket har orsakat dem onödig stress som försämrat sorgearbetet. Samtalsstödet inom den offentliga vården hos sjukhus, akutmottagning och vårdcentral har upplevts som icke tillfredställande p.g.a. personalens bristande förmåga att bemöta, informera och stödja sörjande.  Man har också upplevt att behandlingsmetoderna inte anpassas efter patienters specifika behov av hjälp utan utifrån politiska krav på lönsamhet och effektivitet. Den KBT-behandling som erbjuds upplevs inte vara lämplig för att kunna bearbeta en komplicerad sorg. Sörjande efterfrågar i stället psykodynamisk kris-/sorgterapi individuellt och/eller i grupp, som de upplevt positivt från privata vårdgivare, men som anses för dyrt. Svenska kyrkans kostnadsfria sorggrupper har också upplevts positivt, men icke troende och de som har en annan tro tvekar inför att söka sig dit. Det finns ett starkt behov av förbättringar inom professionellt samtalsstöd som idag erbjuds sörjande i Sverige. Det vore önskvärt att fler läkare utbildas till psykoterapeuter så att sörjande skulle kunna få både medicinsk och psykoterapeutisk behandling av en och samma person. Detta skulle bidra till ökad trygghet som är positivt i sorgearbete. Införande av den diskuterade diagnosen förlängt sorgesyndrom i det kommande DSM-V och ICD11, skulle förmodligen underlätta för sörjande att få rätt till sjukskrivning och ge enklare tillgång till lämplig och subventionerad samtalsbehandling. Detta skulle kunna bidra till bättre hälsa och snabbare återgång till arbetslivet, vilket är positivt både ur mänskligt såväl som samhällsmässigt perspektiv.

Genetic networks suggest Asperger’s syndrome as a distinct subtype of autism spectrum disorders

Naveed, S., Dmytriw, A.A., Ghozy, S., Morsy, Sara 02 October 2024 (has links)
Yes / Background: The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) issued new diagnostic criteria for autism spectrum disorders (ASD) which resulted in missing the diagnosis of some cases of Asperger’s syndrome (AS). This negatively affected the support received by those affected. In this study, we explored if AS could be biologically stratified from the broader spectrum through a gene co-expression network preservation analysis. Methods: We analysed the GEO microarray data of 24 individuals with Asperger’s syndrome and 72 individuals with autism. Then, we used a weighted gene co-expression network (WGCNA) pipeline to construct gene co-expression networks. We explored whether these modules share the same co-expression patterns between autism and Asperger’s syndrome using network preservation analysis. Results: Our results showed that all co-expression modules of autism are preserved into the Asperger’s syndrome. However, three modules of Asperger’s syndrome out of 30 modules were not preserved in autism. Gene enrichment analysis revealed that these modules were involved in chromatin remodelling, immune and neuroinflammatory response, synaptic and neuronal development. Brain enrichment analysis showed significant downregulation of neurodevelopment genes in different brain regions associated with impaired social recognition in Asperger’s syndrome. Conclusions: The identified genetic and molecular profiles suggest that Asperger’s syndrome, despite sharing numerous similarities with autism, possesses a distinct genetic profile that makes it a distinct subtype of autism. This distinction could have significant implications for the management and treatment strategies tailored to individuals with Asperger’s syndrome.

Trastorno por estrés postraumático en menores que han sufrido maltrato familiar: Directo y exposición a violencia de género

Castro Sáez, Maravillas 04 April 2011 (has links)
Esta investigación tiene como objetivo estimar la presencia del Trastorno por Estrés Postraumático (TEPT) en menores que han sufrido maltrato intrafamiliar crónico y presentan alteraciones psicológicas graves. La muestra está formada por 102 menores entre 8 y 17 años. Se divide en dos grupos: I (64 menores que viven con su familia biológica y han estado expuestos/as a violencia de género) y II (38 menores tutelados/as por la Administración). El instrumento utilizado es el Child PTSD Symptom Scale (CPSS) de Foa et al. (2001). Las conclusiones son: los criterios DSM son muy exigentes y no sensibles para detectar TEPT en infancia; es necesario valorar la afectación subsindrómica; el criterio de Evitación es demasiado restrictivo. Si se baja el umbral, tal como propone el DSM-V, se mejora la detección de casos; se encuentra mayor prevalencia de TEPT en chicas; no se hallan diferencias significativas entre grupos de edad ni entre submuestras.

Psykometrisk prövning av PG-13; ett självskattningsinstrument för ihållande sorg

Alexandersson, Pelle January 2010 (has links)
Frågan om ”normal” respektive ”patologisk” sorg har under en lång tid varit ett omdiskuterat ämne inom psykologin och psykiatrin. En grupp forskare har tagit fram kriterier på ett syndrom som fått benämningen ihållande sorg (”prolonged grief”). Studier har visat på att ihållande sorg är ett distinkt syndrom separat från depression, posttraumatisk stressyndrom och generaliserat ångestsyndrom. Ihållande sorg föreslås ingå som en diagnos i de kommande versionerna av de diagnostiska manualerna DSM och ICD. Syftet med denna studie var att översätta självskattningsinstrumentet Prolonged Grief Disorder (PG-13) till svenska, och undersöka dess reliabilitet och validitet genom bland annat en explorativ och konfirmatorisk faktoranalys. Studien genomfördes på ett annonsrekryterat heterogent sample (n=162 varav 90 % var kvinnor) vad gäller typ av dödsfall och relation till den avlidne. Respondenterna besvarade en webb- eller pappersenkät som bestod av 75 items. PG-13 bedöms ha en hög reliabilitet, god begrepps- och samtidig validitet samt en måttlig diskriminativ validitet.

Inclure l’addiction à Internet dans le DSM-V : étude de cas de la biomédicalisation des cyberdépendances

Bueno, Virginie 06 1900 (has links)
Le domaine de recherche scientifique sur les cyberdépendances présente de multiples définitions de cette pathologie. À partir du matériel empirique issu des débats relatifs à la proposition d'inclure l'addiction à Internet dans le Manuel Diagnostique et Statistique des Troubles mentaux (DSM-V), ce mémoire vise à comprendre les processus sociaux bornant le développement de cette pathologie au regard de la théorie de la biomédicalisation. À cette fin, un premier travail sociohistorique retrace les voies de la biologisation progressive des pratiques sociales de communication en ligne amorcées dès 1980. Un second travail d'analyse de discours systématise ensuite le processus normatif se dégageant des controverses scientifiques liées à son inclusion dans le DSM-V. La recherche menée suggère une interprétation théorique de cet objet située à l'intersection de tendances sociales propres à la société d'information. Le projet d'inclusion révèle la volonté d'une régulation sociale effectuée à partir de la transformation technoscientifique du vivant selon des processus santéistes et néolibéraux. Il donne ainsi à penser les discours scientifiques sur l'addiction à Internet comme avant tout politiques et économiques. / The proposal of "Internet Addiction" in the fifth edition of the DSM : a case study of biomedicalisation : The representation of Internet excessive practices as an addiction is a highly criticized fact in the scientific field. The proposed inclusion of the mental disorder "Internet Addiction" in the fifth version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manuel, has ended in March 2013 in the inclusion of the "Internet Gaming Disorder" in the Appendix section caracterised by the need to further research. The aim of this master thesis is to understand the processes which get through the debate over this inclusion. Therefore, from a socio-historical perspective, the analysis first exposed the biomedicalized process that create the pathology. Then, empirically, through discourse analysis, that process is systematized in order to understand the representation of the "internet addict" that emerge from these scientific discourse. Finally, we suggest that this pathology reflect a specific way of governing in the information society era throught the technoscientific transformation of life, which is a political debate.

An Exploratory Analysis of Current Autism Terminology Usage, Including Its Implications for Public Health and Special Education in the State of Indiana

Brown, Stephen Lawrence 12 July 2013 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Consistent under-reporting of autism cases by Indiana physicians to the Indiana Birth Defects and Problems Registry (IBDPR) has made quality autism-related data very difficult to obtain (Indiana Birth Defects and Problems Registry [IBDPR], 2011). As a result, the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) currently also utilizes data from billing information that it receives from hospital discharges. However, such cases must be investigated further because autism is often merely suspected as a possibility in the discharge data. A chart auditor must therefore review the child’s chart to determine if the condition is confirmed. Meanwhile, the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) has a different diagnostic procedure from physicians for determining whether a student has an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), which qualifies him or her for special education. A physician diagnosis of autism does not guarantee that a child will receive special education from public schools. With all of these current complications surrounding autism, announced changes in the definition of autism by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) will likely have effects on both the special education field and the public health field. There is a possibility that children who had previously received special education could cease to maintain their eligibility and may find it difficult to obtain benefits. The IDOE may find it necessary to reevaluate their criteria for determining special education eligibility. Additionally, public health officials may see the definition changes affect the number of autism cases they perceive their populations to have, thus impacting community and policy decisions. This study was performed as an attempt to investigate and compare the sources used by the IBDPR to obtain autism data, and determine whether or not the resulting data creates an accurate depiction of the autistic population of Indiana. It was also performed to speculate whether a stricter definition of autism will result in a higher quality of data for the IBDPR and a more consistent view on the disorder between the ISDH and the IDOE. Perhaps from such consistency and simpler definitions, future recorded data will more closely resemble that of reality, enabling the ISDH to utilize the IBDPR to its full extent. Using current definitions for an exploratory analysis of data from the past five years, a discrepancy clearly exists between the IBDPR and the reality of the population of Indiana.
