“…Several screening tools for depression exist that surgeons should be aware of and ought to consider implementing within their practice (33,41). One of the most simple is the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ), which can be completed as either a series of 9 (PHQ-9) or 2 (PHQ-2) questions.…”

“…Although it is socially acceptable to extend sympathy and patience to someone grieving the loss of a spouse, we might not have the same degree of empathy with our patients who have undergone amputation. As such, the widely accepted stages of the grief model used for death could have potential relevance within the treatment of lower extremity amputation (30)(31)(32)(33)(34). Dr. Elizabeth K€ ubler-Ross first described the stages of grief model in her classic text On Death and Dying, published in 1969 (35).…”

“…A variety of factors mentioned above were examined for their associations with help-seeking intentions. In contrast to previous studies that examined help-seeking intentions for specific mental disorders, [ 7 , 8 ] this study focused on early signs that could appear before it is officially diagnosed as major depressive disorder [ 6 , 26 ]. Depressed mood and insomnia are included in the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder [ 26 ].…”

Help-seeking intentions for early signs of mental illness and their associated factors: comparison across four kinds of health problems

BackgroundFailure and delay in initial treatment contact for mental disorders has been recognized as an important public health problem. According to the concept of mental health literacy, recognition of symptoms is crucial to making decisions to seek or not seek professional help. The aims of this study were to investigate the types of health problems for which Japanese adults intend to seek help, their preferred sources of help, and the factors associated with help-seeking intentions.MethodsA cross-sectional web-based survey was conducted in June 2014 among Japanese adults aged 20–59 years. A total of 3308 eligible respondents were included in this study. Help-seeking intentions were measured by listing potential sources of help (including ‘would not receive help’) and asking which ones would be chosen in four health conditions indicated by irritability, dizziness, insomnia, and depressed mood, respectively.ResultsIn the case of dizziness, 85.9 % of the participants reported a positive help-seeking intention and 42.7 % gave first priority to seeking help from formal sources. These percentages were smaller in the cases of insomnia (75.4 and 25.0 %), depressed mood (74.9 and 18.7 %), and irritability (72.9 and 0.9 %). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that the factors significantly associated with help-seeking intentions were almost identical across the four health problems. In particular, perception of family and friends regarding help-seeking, psychiatric history, contact with people with mental illness, better health literacy, and neighborhood communicativeness were significantly associated with the overall help-seeking intention and also the help-seeking intention from formal sources for all the problems of dizziness, insomnia, and depressed mood.ConclusionsThe majority of participants indicated their intentions to seek help, but psychological problems (insomnia and depressed mood) were less likely to induce help-seeking intentions than a physical problem (dizziness). Besides developing health literacy skills, community-based interventions for creating a friendly approachable atmosphere and facilitating daily interactions with family, friends, and neighbors may be worth considering as a possible public health strategy for encouraging help-seeking whether for psychological or physical problems.

“…This is in keeping with the findings across most psychosomatic research in clinic- and community-based populations with physical illness. [ 15 ] We found that more males than females were found to be suffering from PM. This is contrary to most studies that report a preponderance of females due to biological and psychosocial factors.…”
