“…Our findings showed that emotional abuse and neglect, and sexual abuse could increase the risk of depression and predict depression scores in regression analyses of depression scores by childhood abuse or neglect. A recent study has shown that adolescents with a major depressive episode were inclined to report higher levels of emotional abuse and neglect (Gander, Sevecke, & Buchheim, 2018). Unlike prior studies (Lindert et al, 2014, Yildiz Inanici et al, 2017), our study found that physical abuse was not significantly associated with increased risk of depression.…”

Background/Objective Previous studies have shown that childhood abuse is associated with symptoms of depression. This study aims to examine the prevalence of childhood abuse or neglect and its correlation with depression among a sample of Chinese people who use methamphetamine. Method People who use methamphetamine (MA) ( N = 1,173) were recruited from government-operated drug rehabilitation centres in Anhui province, China. Participants were assessed using the short form of Childhood Trauma Questionnaire and the Beck Depression Inventory-II for childhood abuse or neglect and depression symptoms. Results A total of 44.6% of people who use MA reported moderate/severe childhood abuse or neglect, and 56.9% of this sample were diagnosed with depression. Emotional abuse, sexual abuse, emotional neglect and physical neglect were revealed to increase the risk of depression. Multivariable regression analyses showed that depression scores were significantly predicted by gender, duration of drug use, sexual abuse and emotional neglect (model R 2 = .08, p < .001). The interaction between emotional neglect and duration of drug use on the depression was statistically significant. Conclusions These analyses indicate that sexual abuse and emotional neglect increase the severity of depression in individuals who use MA in drug rehabilitation centres of China.

“…This is comparable to a study conducted in females with h/o sexual and physical abuse in which the results highlighted the symptoms of depression, PTSD and suicide attempts as the co-morbid psychiatric conditions in groups of individuals with EDs symptoms [20]. Talking about the subtypes of childhood abuse , emotional maltreatment showed strong impact on EDs in AN but there has also been evident association between physical abuse and AN; however sexual abuse was not reported to be a significant factor in the development of restrictive symptoms in AN, although they were reported in AN-binge-eating/purging type [7,37]. This is in contrast to sexual abuse impact on the development of Eds in other studies [37-39].…”

Eating disorders (ED) are well known psychiatric disorders associated with dysregulated eating behaviors and related thoughts and emotions. Common eating disorders are bulimia nervosa (BN), anorexia nervosa (AN), and binge eating disorders (BED). There is an active link between child abuse and eating disorders, emotional child abuse being the important subtype of CA and has a strong comorbid psychopathological relationship with EDs, including AN. The PubMed database was searched for the related articles about child abuse, including emotional childhood maltreatment and their psychopathology associated with EDs, especially AN. No filters were used for the date of publication and article types. Childhood abuse, including physical, sexual, and emotional maltreatment, has an active link with psychopathology associated with dysregulated eating behaviors. However, emotional childhood maltreatment including emotional abuse, neglect, and/or exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) has been least studied, but studies have shown a strong relationship with the symptoms of anorexia nervosa such as weight concern, negative self-image, and maladaptive emotional response. Emotional dysregulation is the crucial psychopathological factor involved in mediating the effects of emotional childhood maltreatment and symptoms of anorexia nervosa and is strongly associated with long-term morbidity in patients with AN. Conducting more clinical studies in the future would help explore the temporal causation, and this association may help the practitioners to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in the management of AN.

“…The Adult Attachment Projective Picture System (AAP) by George and colleagues 23,26 is one of only a few internationally accepted instruments available to assess AR in adolescents and adults in clinical populations and control cohorts [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] . These studies demonstrated the high potential of the AAP as a valid attachment measure to identify the individuals' attachment-related risk and protective factors in association with psychopathological dimensions, stress response, and differential personalized resources.…”

Over the last decades, the prevalence of high-risk sports activities including skydiving, base-jumping, and wingsuit flying has co-developed with a modern globalized lifestyle. The practice of such extreme sports with a risk-taking and even life-threatening character shows continuously increasing popularity and participation rates have grown exponentially. Interestingly, the precise motivational aspects of high-risk sports and their psychobiological underpinnings have been rather hardly characterized. This limited knowledge is attributable to the fact that the possibility to investigate high-risk sports in a laboratory setting was relatively limited. The central methodological aim of the presented project StressVR is to use groundbreaking new technology in high-risk sports research by implementing Virtual Reality (VR) technology into a psychobiological research environment. Using a first-of-its-kind VR wingsuit-flight simulator, StressVR will identify and characterize the kinetics of psychobiological reactions in the context of high-risk sport behavior, also considering critical and traumatic life events, personality traits, attachment representations as well as biomolecular readout variables including cortisol, beta-endorphin, alpha-amylase activity, and pH in saliva. Additionally, peripheral stress markers including heart rate, respiration rate, and skin conductance will be assessed during the VR experiment. The results of StressVR will not only help to improve the current understanding of why individuals do high-risk sports: This could also mean that risk sports athletes do not act “headlessly” and “carelessly” but do follow their metabolic needs as a mechanism of emotion regulation. Here, we summarize the concepts of StressVR and provide the study protocol to address the aimed scientific questions.
