“…They complain of fatigue, irritability, loss of interest in work, sleep problems, all of which together affect their professional activity. These problems begin to significantly distort their image of a "real man" who must be refrained, have a successful career, financial security, which are all obligations that a depressed man is no longer able to fulfill [19][20][21] . This is the reason why they resort to various "strategies" for which they believe will help them in overcoming their problem.…”

Gender differences in depressive symptoms among inpatients Objective: The aim of this research was to determine whether statistically significant differences exist in the clinical presentation (symptoms) of depressive disorders in men and women and, if so, what are they reflected in. Material and Method: The study included 150 patients between the ages of 18 and 65 who have been hospitalized due to a major depressive disorder according to the diagnostic criteria of DSM-IV classification, at the Psychiatric Clinic in Novi Sad, Serbia. Patients with comorbid physical or other mental disorders were not included. Within the research process, during the first day of hospitalization, the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale with 21 items was administered, while 12 other symptoms of depression (specific quality of the depression, pessimism, stability of depression to environmental influences, ideas of impoverishment, worthlessness, blaming of others, social isolation, anhedonia, monoideism, self-pity, dependence on others, and manipulativeness) were assessed using the BPRS, MADRS, SADS, SADD and AMPDP scales by the examining psychiatrist. A t-test for significance of differences in the age structure of men and women was performed in the statistical analysis, which indicated that this is a homogeneous group, while the structure of gender differences in the clinical picture of depression was examined by discriminant analysis, in which gender was an independent variable, while the examined depressive symptoms were the dependent variables. Results: The results showed a statistically significant structure of gender differences in the clinical picture of depression, which is reflected in the existence of two types of depression, hypothetically called: existential depression characteristic to men and anxious-somatic depression characteristic to women. Conclusion: The determined existence of gender differences in depressive symptoms and the clinical presentation of depression in this and other studies, as well as the data on double the prevalence of depression in women and the gender differences in the responses to antidepressant medications, are the facts that point out the need for a gender-specific approach to the evaluation and treatment of depression.

Despite significant advances in understanding and management of neuropsychiatric disorders during past few decades, anxiety remains the leading cause of deaths. Approximately, two third of the anxious or depressed patients respond to the currently available treatment but the magnitude of improvement is still disappointing. Anxiety is a universal human emotion, closely allied with appropriate fear and often serving psycho-biologically adaptive purposes. Anxiety disorders are divided into five major categories namely, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, phobias, panic disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. Benzodiazepines are used to treat a variety of clinical symptoms, including anxiety, convulsions and muscle tension. Although, these compounds have well known benefits, their side effects are prominent. Researchers have been exploring natural resources to find out safer and effective drugs with fewer side effects

“…Protetska i ortotska rehabilitacija (POR) ove grupe osoba sa amputiranim ekstremitetom i sprečavanje njihove polivalentne invalidizacije imaju izuzetan naučni interes, ali i sociomedicinski i društveni značaj. Ovaj tip rehabilitacije zahteva i poznavanje složenosti dijagnostike i lečenje KCP [22][23][24][25][26][27][28] , ali, takođe, i postraumatskog stres sindroma, depresije i anksioznosti 8,29,[30][31][32][33][34][35][36] .…”

“…Znatno višu frekvenciju depresivnih bolesnika među našim politraumatizovanim bolesnicima sa amputiranim ekstremitetom sa KCP možemo objasniti prethodno navedenim faktorima, ali i zapažanjem da je hronicitet oboljenja, posebno onih vezanih za dugotrajni bol, u pozitivnoj korelaciji sa razvojem depresije 30 . Naši nalazi možda najsveobuhvatnije odgovaraju posttraumatskom stres sindromu američkih autora i njegovoj subakutnoj i hroničnoj fazi sa čestom udruženoš-ću depresije i postraumatskog stresnog poremećaja savremenih autora [31][32][33][34][35][36] .…”
