“…[17] However, there are very limited studies on Eastern communities and usually confined to a specific age group from a country, such as those conducted by Ghanbari Jolfaei et al and Uddin et al , with the latter only including patients with bipolar disorder. [151819] Furthermore, the studies had small sample sizes.…”

Background:The demographic profile and clinical manifestations of mood disorder subtypes can differ across regions; however, there is a lack of studies from Saudi Arabia on the sociodemographic characteristics of adult Saudi patients with mood disorder subtypes.Objective:The study aims to explore the sociodemographic profile of adult Saudi patients with different types of mood disorders.Methods:This retrospective study analyzed the data of all adult Saudi patients (aged ≥18 years) who were diagnosed with a mood disorder and attended the psychiatric outpatient clinic at King Fahd Hospital of the University (KFHU), Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia, between 1982 and 2011. Patients with psychiatric comorbidity were not included in the analyses. Major depressive disorder (depression), bipolar disorder, adjustment disorder and dysthymia were the four subtypes of mood disorder identified in the sample, and all eligible patients were categorized accordingly.Results:A total of 340 patients were included in this study. Slightly less than half (42.4%) the study population were aged 18–30 years. Further, 58% of the patients were females, 67.6% were married and 58.8% were unemployed. Depression was the most common mood disorder (~73%). Of the patients with bipolar disorder (n = 38), more than half were male and aged 18–30 years (~58% each); these percentages were higher than that observed in other subtypes.Conclusion:This study found that among patients at KFHU, depression is the most common mood disorder and that most patients are females. In contrast, bipolar disorder is more common among males. Further in-depth studies in a larger sample size may provide better patient profiling, which can be used for developing effective screening programs.

“…The Turkish version was found to be reliable and valid previously (Ercan et al, 2001). Similar with the previous studies, scores of 2 and 3 on the scale were accepted as presence of symptoms for the pertaining domain (Bilaç et al, 2014;Ercan et al, 2015Ercan et al, , 2016. For the whole sample (those without Conduct Disorder items, n = 2,653) Cronbach's alpha was found to be 0.745 (Intra-Class Correlation = .745, p = .000) and 0.755 (those with Conduct Disorder items, n = 2,475, Intra-Class Correlation = .755, p = .000); respectively.…”

Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and comorbidities of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) by evaluating a large-scale nation-wide sample of children. Method: The inclusion criterion was being enrolled as a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th-grade student. A semi-structured diagnostic interview (K-SADS-PL), DSM-IV-Based Screening Scale for Disruptive Behavior Disorders, and assessment of impairment (by both parents and teachers) were applied to 5,842 participants. Results: The prevalence of ADHD was 19.5% without impairment and 12.4% with impairment. Both ADHD with and without impairment groups had similar psychiatric comorbidity rates except for oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and conduct disorder (CD) diagnoses. Impairment in the ADHD group resulted in significantly higher ODD and CD diagnoses. Conclusion: Even when impairment is not described, other psychiatric disorders accompany the diagnosis of ADHD and may cause impairment in the future. Impairment in the diagnosis of ADHD significantly increases the likelihood of ODD and CD.

“…However, these are all issues that can be addressed and fixed by caring administrators that are committed to making schools safe and supportive places for all children. Reducing the anxiety brought about by the school environment means changing the environment so that it is more student centered, emotionally relevant and open to the many ways in which children can express themselves [11,12]. The emotional wellbeing of students is often overlooked in modern school culture however this attitude must change.…”
