Active clinical trials for "Mental Disorders"

The purpose of this study is to examine the physical activity recommendation behaviour, beliefs, barriers and exercise participation in German psychologists working with patients with mental disorders.

The purpose of this study is to assess professional quality of life in German psychologists working with patients with mental disorders.

Psychiatric disorders in women with prolonged infertility with or without IVF/ICSI failure will be included then a questionnaire will be applied plus psychiatric examinatins

The "The Exercise in Mental Illness Questionnaire (EMIQ) - Health Practicioners Version" is a questionnaire designed to assess the prescription behaviour of physical activity as well as related knowledge, barriers and exercise behaviour of mental health professionals. As a lot of research on prescription behaviour is done using unvalidated questionnaires we want to translate this validated questionnaire into German for further use in this research field.

Mental disorders have been shown to be associated with a number of general medical conditions (also referred to as somatic or physical conditions). The investigators aim to undertake a comprehensive study of comorbidity among those with treated mental disorders, by using high-quality Danish registers to provide age- and sex-specific pairwise estimates between the ten groups of mental disorders and nine groups of general medical conditions. The investigators will examine the association between all 90 possible pairs of prior mental disorders and later GMC categories using the Danish national registers. Depending on whether individuals are diagnosed with a specific mental disorder, the investigators will estimate the risk of receiving a later diagnosis within a specific GMC category, between the start of follow-up (January 1, 2000) or at the earliest age at which a person might develop the mental disorder, whichever comes later. Follow-up will be terminated at onset of the GMC, death, emigration from Denmark, or December 31, 2016, whichever came first. Additionally for dyslipidemia, follow-up will be ended if a diagnosis of ischemic heart disease was received. A "wash-out" period will be employed in the five years before follow-up started (1995-1999), to identify and exclude prevalent cases from the analysis. Individuals with the GMC of interest before the observation period will be considered prevalent cases and excluded from the analyses (i.e. prevalent cases were "washed-out"). When estimating the risk of a specific GMC, the investigators will consider all individuals to be exposed or unexposed to the each mental disorder depending on whether a diagnosis is received before the end of follow-up. Persons will be considered unexposed to a mental disorder until the date of the first diagnosis, and exposed thereafter.

The primary objective of the study aims to study transition toward schizophrenia in patients with learning disorders, and to compare the risk between patients with specific learning disorders, and patients with complexed learning disorders (by two types: patients with other neuro-developmental disorders including executive function disorders, and patients with anxiety).

The purpose of this study is to investigate the physical, psychological, social and functional aspects of life in relatively young people suffering from vascular stroke and in people diagnosed with multiple sclerosis of the same age group and to generally assess the subjective perception of these patients about their general health and well-being. In addition, to assess the degree of depression experienced by people in this age group who suffer from these diseases. Additional objectives are to investigate important factors that negatively affect the quality of life in this group of patients, according to the international literature, and to highlight targeted interventions to promote mental and physical health in order to improve the quality of life in these chronic patients.

This study is a large population-based analysis in the United Kingdom (UK) using routine primary care data to investigate the risk of mental health conditions in children, adolescents and young adults with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, compared to those without Inflammatory Bowel Disease. The study will also compare the impacts on quality-of-life outcomes and use of healthcare services between people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease with and without mental health conditions.

In the context of a viral outbreak and of widespread quarantine measures, a significant increase in psychological disorders, such as stress or fear behaviours, had previously been observed. This distress has been described on adults, but no data have been collected yet for paediatric populations. After a traumatic event, children and adolescents may present several clinical consequences, the most common being Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Moreover, PTSD in children and adolescents is often associated with comorbid disorders, such Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, depression, attachment and anxiety disorders, sleep disturbances and behavior problems. The aim of this study is to present the methodology of "CoCo 20" : is to assess the impact of the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) and of seclusion measures on mental health and on the development of psychological disorders in children in the short to medium term

Schizophrenia is one of the most consumptive diseases, which brings great loss to patients and their families, and even to the society. Clinical High Risk for Psychosis (CHR) is a concept put forward on the basis of the prodromal stage of schizophrenia. Over the past 20 years, the identification and intervention of CHR has become the focus of psychiatric research, with the primary goal of early identification of biomarkers of susceptibility to schizophrenia and the development of individualized interventions to prevent or delay progression. Longitudinal studies have shown that CHR converted to schizophrenia mainly within two years, with a risk of about 30 percent. Self-disorder is one of the core characteristics of schizophrenia. The two most basic experiences of self-representation are sense of ownership and sense of agency. Sense of ownership refers to the sense that "I" perceives "my" body, while sense of agency refers to the sense that "I" experiences "my" actions and their consequences are initiated by "me". Some studies have shown that patients with schizophrenia show defects in the sense of ownership and agency. The most commonly used paradigm for observing "sense of ownership" and "sense of agency" is the rubber hand illusion (RHI) or the virtual hand illusion (VHI). In this study, the VHI experimental paradigm will be used to detect the self-representation of the individuals at high risk for psychosis, and the clinical outcome will be observed for one year.The hypothesis is that the subjects who exhibit abnormal illusion experience in VHI experiment are more likely to transition into psychotic disorders.
