Lifestyle Characteristics of Psychiatric Outpatients

Abstract

Unhealthy lifestyle issues are not restricted to any specific diagnostic group. These data identify a compelling need to develop ameliorative intervention strategies for psychiatric outpatients; however, we could not identify a basis for targeting such interventions specifically in relation to diagnosis.

Predicting Plasma Concentration of Risperidone Associated With Dosage Change

“…This limitation of classical PK methodology should therefore be considered, especially in patients with schizophrenia, given their altered lifestyle. 15 In contrast, one of the major advantages of population PK methodology over the traditional one is that it relies on the use of data collected in a real-world clinical setting. Indeed, in the present study, 2 plasma samples were collected at given time points in daily clinical settings.…”

Major Depressive Disorder and Bipolar Disorder Predispose Youth to Accelerated Atherosclerosis and Early Cardiovascular Disease

“…182 People with MDD or depressive symptoms are more likely to be sedentary relative to those without mood disorders. [183][184][185] The association of physical activity with BD is inconsistent. Some studies have demonstrated reduced physical activity and reduced exercise tolerance in BD, 186,187 whereas other studies have demonstrated no significant differences.…”

“…One major problem of studies measuring physical activity is the failure of researchers to consider or justify why they have chosen a particular OBM or SRQ. For example past research studies (Archie et al, 2007;Brill et al, 2007;Buhagiar et al, 2011;Chuang et al, 2008;Crone et al, 2004;Daumit et al, 2005;Davidson et al, 1999;Davidson et al, 2001;Ellingrod et al, 2011;Elmslie et al, 2001;Farnam et al, 1999;Lassenigus et al, 2013;McCreadie, 2003;Osborn et al, 2007;Ratliff et al, 2012;Samele et al, 2007;SØrensen, 2006;Van Citters et al, 2010;Vancampfort et al, 2011a,b,c;Vancampfort et al (2011d) have utilised a specific SRQ and justified its choice solely on the original study which validated the SRQ. This is often problematic if the tool has been validated in a certain population or if the original study was not validated correctly.…”
