Active clinical trials for "Mental Disorders"

This study analyzes which variables enhance or hinder community integration among people with severe mental disorder. Participants will complete a questionnaire to test our hypotheses: Hypothesis 1: group identification predicts less self-dehumanization and self-stigma, and more empowerment, these in turn predict more community integration. Hypothesis 2: the relationship between group identification and self-dehumanization and self-stigma is moderated by group value. Hypothesis 3: when group identification is low, group identification predicts higher community integration, but this relationship is mediated by diagnosis concealment.

The study will assess the prevalence of mental health problems among different athletes. The study is based on the application of the battery of psychodiagnostic questionnaires, which were chosen aiming at investigating the prevalence of different symptoms related to problems in mental health or disorders. This descriptive cross-sectional study will undertake sample with athletes categorized by the quality of their achievement.

The purpose of this study is to assess the acceptability and feasibility of screening common mental health difficulties in fathers and partners of women accessing perinatal mental health services.

This is a single center study that uses both between-group comparisons and correlational analyses to establish biomarkers of dysmyelination and cognitive impairment in Psychotic Spectrum Disorders using imaging and neuropsychological assays.The study will provide non-invasive biomarkers of cognitive dysfunction in Psychotic Spectrum Disorder.

Up to 50% of Narcolepsy-cataplexy (NC) patients suffer from REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), a parasomnia. A strong link was found between RBD and impulse control disorders (ICD) in Parkinson disease (PD) patients. ICD are thought to be related to a dysfunction of meso-cortico-limbic pathways which belong to the so called ''reward system''. A recent study in IRMf shows that RBD is associated with impaired reward system. A strong link was found between these two disorders and therefore we believe that RBD is associated with impaired reward system in NC The main objective of this study is to evaluate differences in brain activation between NC patients with and without RBD. The investigators hypothesize that NC patients with RBD have a more severe dysfunction of the reward system (hypoactivation of the meso-cortico-limbic pathway) than patients without RBD.

Introduction : World Health Organization (WHO) considers that the heterogeneity of concepts and definitions of migrants is an obstacle to obtaining evidence to inform public health policies. Thus, it recommends distinguishing refugees from asylum seekers. Asylum seekers are migrants who recently arrived in their host country and whose administrative situation is being examined. They do not have the same access to health care or the same rights as refugees. In France in 2021, 78,372 major people filled a first asylum application, a 26.4% increase compared to 2020 Regarding the mental health of exiles, a literature review informs us that 31.5% of them suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), 31.5% from depression and 11.1% from anxiety disorders. However, these data are taken from studies that do not make a distinction between refugees and asylum seekers These missing data are a hindrance to the development of efficient strategies for the management of these populations within the health systems of Western countries. The primary objective of this study was to describe the health status of asylum seekers who have recently arrived in their Western host country. The secondary objective was to investigate potential explanatory factors for the health status of asylum seekers. Method: Single-center, cross-sectional, observational epidemiological study. The Refugee health screener (RHS15) questionnaire and the Cumulative Illness Rating Scale (CIRS) will be administered by a trained interviewer to each patient included on the day of their inclusion, in the asylum seekers reception platform (PADA).Potential use of tobacco, existence of an adapted treatment in case of a detected pathology and certain socio-demographic data will also be collected. A telephone interpreting service will be used in the case of an allophone patient whose spoken language is not spoken by the interviewer. Each patient included will have an appointment to perform a standardised blood and urine sample. Benefits : PREMENTADA study will provide a better understanding of the health status of the population of asylum seekers in France. As the existence of data is a prerequisite for evidence-based medicine, we notice the lack of previous studies specifically addressing this population in France.

The purpose of the present study is to estimate the lifetime incidence of any mental disorder in a nationwide population-based register linkage study for the Danish population and to estimate the influence on socio-economic functioning.

The aims of this observational survey are to 1) collect data on the prevalence of mental and substance use disorders, and 2) investigate risk factors and consequences of mental and substance use disorder

A major proportion of patients admitted to psychiatric acute and emergency departments have symptoms, behaviors or function influenced by implicit or explicit suicidal intention (tendency towards self-harm, or suicide attempt). There is an increased risk of suicide in the acute phase during in-patient stay and after discharge. At present there is no satisfactory tool to predict post-discharge suicide risk. Multidimensional rating is expected to have better predictive properties than one-dimensional rating for suicidal behavior during in -patient stay and two years after discharge. Multidimensional rating assesses anxiety, panic, agitation, suicidal thoughts and ideations, as well as therapist's reactions during interviews. In the present study the predictive properties of two rating scales for suicidal behavior during in-patient stay and two years after will be compared. One of these is a multidimensional scale: "Multidimensional Assessment of Suicide Risk" (MARIS).

This research study will examine the relationship interconnecting medical body health, mental health, and microbes of the digestive tract in persons living with serious mental illnesses,as compared to persons without such disorders. Existing research suggests that interactions between digestive tract microbes and the body may influence brain function circuits, mood, anxiety state, cognition, behavior, and medical physiology.
