“…Furthermore, they are known to predict lack of psychological wellbeing and mental health (Argyle, 2013;Cheng & Furnham, 2002). Previous studies have found that higher depressive symptoms, lower self-esteem, higher loneliness, and elevated social anxiety to be highly associated with both childhood emotional trauma (Finzi-Dottan & Karu, 2006;Heim et al, 2009;Norton & Abbott, 2017;Runyan et al, 2002;Saleh et al, 2017) and body image dissatisfaction (Junne et al, 2016;Wang et al, 2018). Additionally, depressive symptoms, low self-esteem, loneliness, and high social anxiety have frequently been associated with IGD (Andreassen et al, 2016;Bargeron & Hormes, 2017;Beard & Wickham, 2016;Griffiths, Király, Pontes, & Demetrovics, 2015;Laconi et al, 2017;Lemmens, Valkenburg, & Gentile, 2015;Sioni et al, 2017).…”

Internet gaming disorder (IGD) has been related to a wide range of detrimental psychological and health consequences. The purpose of the present pilot study was to test the direct and indirect relationships between IGD and emotional trauma, body image dissatisfaction, social anxiety, loneliness, depression, and self-esteem. A total of 242 online gamers completed a survey comprising a comprehensive battery of psychometric self-report scales concerning aforementioned variables. Results indicated that IGD was significantly correlated with all the variables except for body image dissatisfaction. Path analysis indicated an indirect relationship between childhood emotional trauma and IGD through depressive symptoms, while adjusting for gender, age, and number of hours gaming. The findings of the present study indicate that online gamers with a history of emotional abuse and/or neglect have higher levels of depressive symptoms, and that depressive symptoms are important risk factors of IGD.

Differential Experiences of Mental Health among Trans/Gender Diverse Adults in Michigan

Transgender and gender diverse individuals experience high rates of health disparities, as compared with their cisgender (non-transgender) counterparts. One area in which these disparities is most grave is that of mental health, with some studies indicating transgender and gender diverse individuals as having a 40% rate of lifetime suicide attempts and similarly high rates of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. These rates vary further within this population, with differential rates seen across sociodemographic factors, including race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability status, education level, and income. This study explores mental health experiences across different social identities, using data from the 2018 Michigan Trans Health Survey (N = 659), a community-based participatory action research project collected in Michigan, United States, analyzed using chi-square tests of independence and logistic regressions. Findings indicate incredibly high rates of mental health concerns; 72.2% had been diagnosed with depression in their lifetime and 73.0% had been diagnosed with anxiety in their lifetime. In the past year, 49.9% had had non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) thoughts, 45.4% had suicidal thoughts, 26.3% engaged in NSSI, and 7.7% had attempted suicide. Bivariate regressions showed some nuanced experiences of rates of mental health diagnoses and experiences, such as greater odds of experiencing all mental health disparities among those with disabilities, and differential odds across gender in regard to ever having a depression diagnosis, non-suicidal self-injury thoughts and engaging in non-suicidal self-injury behavior. This indicates a need for social workers, counselors, therapists, and other human services professionals to act more intentionally and with an intersectional lens when it comes to exploring the mental health of transgender and gender diverse persons.

“…Given this exploratory evidence for a coherent ST mode conceptualization, there is reason to believe that ST may be a useful alternative treatment for SAD warranting further theoretical and empirical investigation. Of particular relevance is the link between aetiological factors, such as social trauma, and the later development of SAD, which is not directly targeted in CBT (Norton & Abbott, 2016a, 2016b). Moreover, there is evidence that imagery rescripting (a component of ST) is efficacious in reducing SAD symptoms and comorbid low mood (Norton & Abbott, 2016b), providing further support for exploratory investigations of ST for social anxiety.…”

Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) is a condition defined by an excessive and persistent fear of negative evaluation in social or performance situations. Whilst Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is the gold standard treatment, not all individuals with SAD respond to CBT. The Schema Therapy Mode Model is frequently applied to chronic and hard-to-treat conditions and therefore may be applicable for SAD individuals who are non-responders to CBT. This case study describes how the Mode Model was successfully used to treat a woman in her 20s who presented with excessive fears of negative evaluation and pervasive social avoidance. Experiential techniques, such as chair dialogues and imagery rescripting, resulted in cognitive modification of negative core beliefs, reduced experiential discomfort and increased engagement in social and relational activities. This case offers a preliminary indication that the Schema Therapy Mode Model may be an effective treatment for socially anxious individuals and that further theoretical and empirical study in this area is warranted.
