“…Both outpatient clinical units offer group therapies that follow a similar format: daily meetings in day care settings-five hours five days a week, lunch included-over a three-month period, each group consisting of ten to fifteen patients and two-three therapists (plus, possibly, interns), with the additional support of a psychiatrist physician in charge of medical and pharmaceuti cal supervision. This format is the most popular form of psychotherapy available free of charge in the public health care system in Poland; around 300 locations offer this kind of treatment and reach around 8,000 patients each year (Suszek et al 2015). "Most popular" does not, however, mean widely accessible.…”

This monograph of contemporary Polish depression sheds light on the social, political, and semantic processes that have shaped its meanings, ex- periences, understandings, and treatments. Examining depression’s history in Poland after 1989, the author not only considers the social conditions of clinical practice, but also explores a broader phenomenon of the cultural dynamic of realification (urealnienie) – the socially produced sense of realness of the world around us. The book thus touches upon various aspects of cultural theory while keeping an ethnographic, empirical character.

“…Psychotherapists worked under supervision that was aligned with their theoretical background, and they facilitated group therapy in accordance with cognitive-behavioural or psychodynamic principles. The treatments were not manualised as this is not common practice in Polish hospitals (for a detailed description, please refer to Holas & Suszek, 2016;Suszek, Holas, Wyrzykowski, Lorentzen & Kokoszka, 2015). The study was conducted between 2017 and…”

The project examined the comorbidity between depression symptoms and the level of borderline personality organisation among patients admitted for group psychotherapy (Study 1). It also aimed to analyse how the level of borderline personality organisation relates to the reduction in depression symptoms after short‐term psychotherapy (Study 2). The study was conducted in a day clinic where patients were receiving psychotherapy for emotional problems affecting their functioning (N = 57). The study used the Borderline Personality Inventory (BPI) and the Patient Health Questionnaire. The analysis showed that BPI was positively related to depression symptoms. The higher borderline personality organisation patients presented when entering group psychotherapy, the greater was the decrease in depression symptoms after 3 months of psychotherapy. We discuss the results in relation to the notion that the presence of depression could be a positive prognostic indicator for patients with borderline personality.

“…About 85% of patients with depression suffer from severe anxiety, and 90% of patients with anxiety suffer from depression (26). Therefore, researchers began to focus on the comorbidity of anxiety and depression (27) and their treatment (28). However, irritability has been rarely studied as the main symptom to explore the relation between anxiety and depression.…”

IntroductionIrritability, a common symptom included in the 5th Edition of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), is thought to be associated with multiple emotional disorders. It is commonly seen among college students in isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, its relation with anxiety and depression remains unclear. We aim to study the relation of irritability, anxiety and depression in Chinese college students during the COVID-19 pandemic by using network analysis to understand the co-occurrence of these three disorders.MethodsDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, we recruited 1516 college students from five general universities in China to complete the Irritability, Depression and Anxiety Scale (IDA-S) to analyze the symptom network of irritability, depression and anxiety. Specifically, we assessed the indices of strength centrality and bridge strength for each node in the network.ResultsSome strongest linkages were found among anxiety symptoms “nervous” and “panic” (weight = 0.36), depression symptoms “sad mood” and “amused” (weight = 0.32), inward irritability items “self-hurt” and “self-harm” (weight = 0.32) and outward items “rough” and “aggressive” (weight = 0.28). The anxiety symptom “panic” had the highest strength value, followed by the inward irritability symptom “annoyed”. The nodes “ease” and “sleep” had the lowest strength value. In addition, the anxiety symptom “relax” had the highest bridge strength value, followed by inward irritability symptom “annoyed”.ConclusionThis study explored the characteristics of a network of irritability, depression and anxiety symptoms among Chinese college students during the COVID-19 pandemic. We found that anxiety and irritability symptoms played an important role in the network. The findings provide evidence for prevention and intervention for college students' mental health problems during the COVID-19 pandemic.
