The effect of substance abuse on depression, anxiety, and stress (DASS-21) in epileptic patients

The relationship between fear of COVID-19 and depression, anxiety and stress in persons with disabilities: A cross-sectional study

“…In this study, the total DASS-21 scores of people with chronic disease-related disability were found to be higher than other PWD. Previous studies indicated that people of chronic disease experience high degree of depression and anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic ( Bonavita et al, 2021 ; Farnia et al, 2021 ; Girma et al, 2021 ). According to the results of this study, people with chronic disease-related disability experience higher levels of depression, anxiety, and stress due to the risk of mortality and morbidity.…”

Application for Calculating Psychological Pressure in the DASS (Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale) Scale Using the Certainty Factor Method

“…More people are likely to become drug addicts because of psychosocial problems associated with chronic illness, but do not go to addiction treatment clinics or specialized help centers; Therefore, symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress play an important role in the propensity of people with epilepsy to abuse drugs. The role of counseling and treatment of psychic disorders in a timely manner will be effective in reducing patient problems E. Testing comparison models of DASS-12 and its reliability among adolescents in Malaysia [15] This study shows that 12 usable and used DASS items are considered to have stable factorial validity, adequate reliability and to serve as a measure of validity used among adolescents in clinical or research assessments and outpatient treatment outcome measures.…”

A Review of Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Yoga in Controlling Seizures in Patients with Epilepsy

“…Despite the shortcomings of those non-pharmacological therapies mentioned earlier, yoga, an ancient traditional Indian psychophilosophical-cultural method as a mind-body practice consisting of positive behavioral modification (yamas and niyamas), physical posture practice (asanas), breath regulation (pranayama), sensation control (pratyahara), and meditative practices (dharana dhyana and samadhi) (Kulal et al, 2021;Patwardhan, 2017), has many superiorities, such as it can be a home-based practice that is easily performed (Wadhen & Cartwright, 2021). Specifically in epilepsy, the potential of yoga as a complementary alternative therapy uniting body, mind, soul, and spirit (Perkins, 2020) has been unveiled since it can lower stress, improve quality of life, reduce psychiatric difficulties, decrease seizure frequency by stimulating the vagus nerve, increase central inhibitory Gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels, alter blood flow of the central nervous system, and lead to a shift in autonomic balance toward relative parasympathetic dominance (Farnia et al, 2021;Kanhere et al, 2018;Kulal et al, 2021). Epilepsy has neurological, cognitive, psychological, and social consequences that affect the quality of life well beyond the occurrence of seizures in people with epilepsy.…”
