IntroductionDepression in psychosis has been more or less neglected as a field of study, due to its vague nosographic framework. Some studies have nevertheless focused on certain features of depression in psychosis, such as post-psychotic depression. This is a frequent phenomenon with a nosographic and etiopathogenic complexity that can lead to confusion.ObjectivesTo study the characteristics of post-psychotic depression and compare results with those in the literature.MethodsIt is a prospective, descriptive, case series study conducted at the Ar-Razi psychiatric hospital in Salé. Inclusion criteria were patients diagnosed with a brief psychotic disorder, schizophreniform disorder or schizophrenia, in remission, who met the criteria for a DSM 5 characterized depressive episode. Data are collected during the psychiatric interview with the patient, using a questionnaire.ResultsOngoingConclusionsOngoingDisclosure of InterestNone Declared

IntroductionPsychic trauma profoundly affects a person’s confidence in himself and others. There is a sudden experience of helplessness, loss of control, fear for one’s own life, and the humiliation of having been violated. The victim may run out of internal and external reference elements.ObjectivesDescribe the factors that influence the development of Post-traumatic stress disorder after experiencing traumatic experiences.MethodsReview in the literature of the different factors that influence the subject’s response to the traumatic experience.Results1) Predisposing and precipitating factors:– characteristics of the traumatic evento: severity of the stressor agent: dose-dependent, Characteristics of the same: sudden, prolonged, repetitive, intentional; decrease the ability to control the situation and develop effective coping strategies; they question basic cognitive schemas; the symbolic meaning of the traumatic evento.– characteristics of the person (predisposing factors of vulnerability): genetic-constitutional vulnerability, adverse experiences in childhood, previous traumatic events: increased vulnerability, personality characteristics, recent stressors or life changes, inadequate support system, use of alcohol, perception locus control more external than internal, pre-existing psychiatric symptoms: neuroticism, anxiety, depression, critical ages of development: time of greatest vulnerability (11-16 years).2) Perpetuating and empowering factors: sharing traumatic events, seeking the logic of the facts, rupture of affective ties.3) Elements of Resistance: tendency to selectively remember the positive elements in autobiographical memory, acceptance of a certain dose of uncertainty in life, perceiving themselves as survivors, perception of the stressful stimulus as less threatening, Less physiological reactivity to stress, use of humor, positive emotions counteracting during the traumatic process.4) Elements of Resilience: ability to extract and assimilate positive elements from negative situations.ConclusionsTrauma threatens 3 basic assumptions of life: the world is good, the world has meaning, the self has value. The knowledge of these mentioned factors allow a better psychotherapeutic approach to Psychic Trauma.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

IntroductionGaming Disorder (GD) has not been officially recognized as a diagnostic entity in the DSM-5, being listed in the “conditions for further study” section. However, it is described in the ICD-11, and clinically, it is observed that an increasing number of individuals, particularly the younger population with easier access to technology, are affected by this issue. Nefarious consequences include loss of performance at school/work and a potential for failing other responsibilities such as in the familiar and social spheres.ObjectivesDespite its harm, psychiatrists are generally less familiar with this entity when compared to other psychiatric disorders. Thus, our main goal was to establish a comprehensive and hollistic review of its approach.MethodsA bibliographical research on the topic was conducted from the available scientific literature on the topic, with the utmost priorization of evidence-based sources.ResultsThe overall prevalence of Gaming Disorder is challenging to assess precisely, but it is estimated to be around 3%, making it comparable to obsessive-compulsive disorder and some substance use disorders. It is more common than pathological gambling. Clinically, GD is characterized by an excessive preoccupation with gaming that supersedes all aspects of life. It may also involve a compulsion to play and the presence of withdrawal symptoms from periods when there are no gaming activities. The behavior is driven by the ACE triad (anonymity, convenience, and escape). Often, individuals with GD do not seek treatment. Although there are no specific pharmacological agents, antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and naltrexone have shown some success. In psychotherapies, cognitive-behavioral therapy has the strongest evidence.ConclusionsThere is a limited amount of information on GD, and when researching the topic, one primarily encounters information on other substance-related addictive disorders and, in the case of behavioral disorders, gambling. However, as young people are increasingly exposed to screens and video games with potential harmful effects on their development, and in adults, inhibiting them from taking on work and family responsibilities, it is essential to conduct more studies on the subject to prevent these deleterious consequences.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

IntroductionPsychosurgical procedures gained an infamous reputation during the 20th century with the implementation of the lobotomy as treatment for several psychiatric illnesses. However, modern-day psychosurgery is a flourishing field that provides valid treatment alternatives to neuropsychiatric patients thanks to increasingly accurate and safe stereotactic procedures. As more than 80% of people with mental disorders reside in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs), investigating the impact of psychosurgical procedures has a global relevance. People living in LMICs are exposed to a variety of stressors which could facilitate the development of psychiatric and neurological diseases. The immense gap that still exists between the population of LMICs and adequate medical and surgical care is an important obstacle to the reduction of global mental health burden. A scoping review will be conducted to investigate the extent of the existing literature and identify key themes, challenges and research gaps on the implementation and outcomes of psychosurgery in LMIC settings.Objectives- To comprehensively map the existing literature: Provide an extensive overview of the literature on the use of psychosurgery in low and middle-income countries.- To identify key themes: Recognize recurring themes and topics within the literature related to psychosurgery in these settings.- To assess challenges: Analyze the challenges and barriers associated with the implementation of psychosurgery in resource-constrained contexts.- To identify research gaps: Highlight areas within the existing literature where further research is needed to enhance our understanding of psychosurgery in low and middle-income countries.MethodsThe methodology consists of five stages, consistent with Arksey and O’Malley’s framework. Using the PICO model, the Research Question, Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria and search methods were developed. Electronic Medical Databases (Medline OVID, Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, Scopus) will be searched for relevant studies. The PRISMA-ScR framework is used to guide the reporting process. Quantitative and Qualitative data will be extracted, including key information such as study type, demographics and methods used to assess the outcomes of psychosurgical interventions. Data will be presented discursively, supported with statistics and graphs where appropriate. No ethical approval is required.Results/ConclusionsThe results will be useful to healthcare professionals in LMICs involved in neuropsychiatric care, evaluating the current uses of psychosurgery and their potential benefit for the affected population whilst highlighting gaps in knowledge with the aim of propelling further research.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

IntroductionFor many people, January is the most depressing month of the year. “Blue Monday” encompasses the generally accepted belief that Monday is the hardest day of the week compared to Friday and Saturday, which are the most anticipated days of the week. The connection between the color blue and Monday is in the emotional stage, which is presented as emotional anger. The third Monday in January is currently known as the most depressing day of the year. Speaker Cliff Arnall was the first to declare that day in 2014. The theory says that this is the time of the year when respiratory diseases are common, the day is shorter, the weather conditions are worse, and the time when people are burdened with guilt about whether they will achieve their New Year’s resolutions.ObjectivesThe aim of this work was to investigate that on third Monday in January there were more suicide attempts and that there were more depressive disorders in emergency psychiatric admissions.MethodsIn the research, we included participants who were examined at the Emergency Psychiatric Admission of the Clinical Hospital Center in Split, in the period from 2019. until 2023. Inclusion criteria were respondents of both sexes, examined in the outpatient clinic on Mondays in January for five years.ResultsThere were 198 of them in total. The primary outcome of the research is to determine the occurrence (incidence) of psychological deterioration in patients diagnosed with the anxiety-depressive spectrum. The secondary research outcomes are of a descriptive nature, patient follow-up, examination outcome, and psychiatric heredity.ConclusionsFor now, there are no strong scientific foundations that justify the formula of “the most depressing day” of the year, some scientists believe that it is a marketing trick to achieve higher tourist revenues. However, the post-holiday period can have an impact on individuals.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

IntroductionWe present the case of an elderly patient with a severe depressive episode who, in order to maintain psychopathological stabilisation, receives ECT on an outpatient basis.ObjectivesThe objective is to briefly review the use of ECT as a maintenance treatment for severe depression in the elderly.MethodsPatient aged 76 years, multipathological, with a history of hypertension, DM and LBP. Femoral head fracture, myelodysplastic syndrome, severe osteoporosis with vertebral crushing, requiring rescue treatment with tramadol, and renal failure.She came for consultation, reporting depressive symptoms of months’ duration, together with delusions of ruin and nihilism. Despite antidepressant and stabilising treatment with duloxetine at daily doses of 120mg, extended-release quetiapine 600mg, lorazepam 2.5mg and mirtazapine 45mg, the patient began to show negative behaviour towards accepting food, clinophilic behaviour and abandonment, which led to her being admitted to the short-term hospitalisation unit.ResultsDue to the severity of the depressive symptomatology, it was decided to start ECT, administering a total of 12 sessions, which were effective, and outpatient follow-up was resumed. However, after a week, the patient again began to show marked apathy and abulia, as well as complete anorexia lasting more than 24 hours, which led to a new admission. It was then that it was decided to maintain the ECT treatment, on an outpatient basis, as maintenance treatment, together with pharmacological treatment.ConclusionsECT is indicated in severe depression, with or without psychotic symptoms, with malnutrition and organic pathology. According to studies, it has a beneficial response of more than 60%. However, the rate of receiving depressive symptomatology in a severe episode is high, despite ECT, so studies and clinical practice recommend maintenance ECT. It is usual to start with weekly sessions, and progressively space them out to maintain the minimum that guarantees stability.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Introduction Perinatal grief is the process that occurs after the loss of a baby, either during pregnancy or during the period immediately before or after childbirth (up to a year). In recent years, the increase in specific training and development of programs focused on perinatal mental health has facilitated the creation of specific action protocols. The case of a 38-year-old woman who suffers a gestational loss during the third month of pregnancy is explored. The presence of personal and family antecedents that suppose risk factors for the adequate elaboration of the duel, raise doubts about the handling of the case. Objectives This work has several objectives, including reviewing the published literature on perinatal bereavement in an emergency situation and, on the other hand, presenting a case. Methods A bibliographic search has been carried out in the main sources of medical information such as pubmed, uptodate as well as in national and international journals. Likewise, the knowledge and clinical experience of the team has been reviewed in order to expose its own experience in this field, defining specific interventions as well as results. Results On evaluation, the patient was conscious and oriented to person, time, and space. Approachable and cooperative. Overall calm, although with intermittent crying. Low mood reactive to vital situation, without apathy, apathy, or anhedonia. No previous episodes of hypomania or mania. Not another major affective clinic. Fluid and coherent speech, formally well constructed without glimpse alterations in the course or content of thought. She denied sensory-perceptual alterations, without showing a listening attitude, or suspicion or any other psychotic or dissociative symptoms. He denied ideas of self-harm, death or self-harm, presenting an adequate request for help and coherent and realistic future plans. Altered biological rhythms with insomnia of three days of mixed pattern evolution. preserved appetite. Judgment of reality preserved. The grief reaction is an experience that must be normalized after the loss of a loved one. However, given the risk factors presented by the patient, preventive management is established in the face of possible complicated perinatal grief. A new appointment is established in less than 10 days to reassess the case with the perinatal mental health team. Conclusions Perinatal mental health is an area of knowledge that could provide assistance to mothers, fathers and family systems plunged into a crisis of perinatal grief. Prevention in situations of possible complicated perinatal mourning is no less important than treatment when the disorder is already established. Disclosure of Interest None Declared

Introduction Impulsivity in adolescents has been largely studied as it is frequently observed in that phase. However, the relationship between impulsivity and emotion regulation has been rarely explored. Objectives Our study aimed to assess impulsivity and emotional regulation in medical students as well as to explore the link between them. Methods This was a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study conducted from September to December 2017, among first and second year students of the medical school of Sfax who were aged between 18 and 19 years. We collected sociodemographic as well as clinical data of the participants. “Barratt Impulsivity Scale” (BIS) and “Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale” (DERS) were used to assess impulsivity and emotion regulation respectively. Results One hundred students were included in our study, with a mean age of 18 years and a sex ratio of 0.81. Among them, 62% were smokers with an average consumption of 19.6 packets year. Alcohol and cannabis use was reported by 9% and 5% of the students respectively. The mean impulsivity score on the Barratt scale was 66.78 ± 9.44 with scores ranging from 40 to 112. Among our participants, 25% had a high level of impulsivity (score > 72). Unplanned impulsivity was the dimension with the highest mean score (23.74±4.64). Our results showed that impulsivity was significantly associated with the male gender (p=0.002) and smoking (p<10-3). As for emotion regulation, the mean score on the DERS scale was 78.8 ±17. The majority of the students (64%) had a moderate difficulty in regulating emotions. Our results showed a positive correlation between impulsivity and emotional regulation with a moderate link (p=10-3; r= 0.57). The high emotion dysregulation group had a significantly higher score on the two dimensions of impulsivity: attentional impulsivity (p=10-3) and unplanned impulsivity (p=0.047). Conclusions Our study highlights the relationship between emotion dysregulation and impulsivity, suggesting that emotion regulation may be an important factor to consider when assessing impulsive adolescents.

Introduction A considerable number of patients with schizophrenia suffer from somatic passivity or delusions of control. So much so, that Schneider considered them as part of the first-rank symptoms. In these cases, patients can think that feelings, impulses, thoughts, or actions are controlled or imposed by an external force. Objectives The objective is to make a psychopathological description of this symptomatology, based on a case report with Anomalous bodily experiences. Methods In this study, we describe the case of a patient with disorder of self-experience. We have conducted a systematic review of the descriptions published to date, regarding this case. Results We present the case of a 21-year-old patient who had gone to the emergency services three times for somatic pathology (described as dysesthetic and algic sensations in the throat, stomach and testicles). In the psychopathological exploration, a delusional narrative is observed, as he refers that these sensations are being provoked by external people, with the aim of harming him. The patient reports that these people are causing an increase in salivation in his salivary glands, for which he spits repeatedly. He explains that these people can control his organs using an influencing machine, which in this case consists of a microchip implanted at the retroauricular area, from which they give orders and insult him at the same time. In this case, a good symptom response was achieved with intramuscular Aripiprazole. Conclusions In the experiences of passivity, the patient experiences one event as if it were not his, but inserted into his self from the outside. In the case of somatic passivity, there is a belief that there are external influences acting on the body. In this case, there was probably a kinesthetic hallucination coupled with an experience of passivity. Similar to other published cases, this patient complained of being controlled and impaired by some form of contemporary technology. Delusions of control are often associated with delusional explanations about how thought or body can be controlled, in this case, through a microchip. Disclosure of Interest None Declared
