“…Scientific work includes epidemiological research and explores in what way psychoneuroendocrinoligal and inflammatory processes lead to schizophrenia and mood disorders. Psychoneuroimmunology and inflammatory indicators of somatoform disorders are tested and it is shown how psychoendocrinological and psychimmunolgy indicators cause different somatic illnesses such as: diabetes, malignant diseases and various skin disorders [16].…”

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate an active participation of the Department of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry and Psychosomatic Medicine as the first and currently the only formally founded department of that kind in Croatia. Consultation-liasion psychiytry in Sestre milosrdnice has been present for decades, from the time when psychiatry department was founded at the hospital. Nevertheless, Department as an organizational unit has been active for the last six years. It is important to emphasize the cooperation and consultation between the specialists in "somatic" medicine and psychiatrists as well as to point out a psychosomatic aspect in physical illness. Moreover, the importance of psychiatrist's role in discovering, providing diagnosis and treating "somatic"patients with psychiatric complications must be placed in the focus, and the rest of the medical team needs to be aware that each patient has its own biological, psychological and social dimension which requires a holistic, bio-psycho-social approach regardless of the patient's physical or mental disorder.

Psychological distress among bariatric surgery candidates: The roles of body image and emotional eating

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The increased risk of psychological distress among bariatric surgery candidates may be attributed, at least in part, to body image dissatisfaction (BID). The aim of the present study was to test the hypotheses that body image could be correlated with the psychological distress variables, and that emotional eating behaviours could mediate the relationship between body image and psychological distress. A sample of consecutive participants seeking bariatric surgery (N = 169, 67% females, mean age, 41.8 years [SD = 11.46], mean body mass index 42.0 kg/m 2 [SD = 11.0]) was recruited from a university-based bariatric centre, a week prior to scheduled surgery. Results showed that BID was positively correlated with suicidality (r = 0.18, P < 0.05), depression (r = 0.39, P < 0.01) and anxiety (r = 0.20, P < 0.05). The relation between BID and depression was partially mediated by emotional eating, whereas the relation between BID and suicidality was fully mediated by emotional eating. Physicians and other health professionals who treat bariatric surgery patients should be encouraged to detect behaviours indicating emotional eating, as these could be an indicator of psychological distress resulting from poor body image. K E Y W O R D S bariatric surgery, body image dissatisfaction, emotional eating, psychological distress 1 | INTRODUCTION The epidemic of overweight and obesity presents a global major challenge to chronic disease prevention and health across the life course. 1,2 Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for promoting weight loss and improving obesity-related physical comorbidity. 3Patients seeking bariatric surgery cope with diverse challenges that are associated with psychological distress, such as past-year (suicide attempts) (9%), and suicidal ideation (thoughts of harming, or killing oneself), compared to family, community members 4 and other (non-bariatric) surgery candidates. 5The increased risk of depression, anxiety and suicidality (suicidality will be used hereinafter to refer to suicidal behaviours ideation and attempts) 6 among bariatric surgery candidates, may be attributed in part to a severe decrease in their quality of life. 7 Body image dissatisfaction (BID) may substantially impair the psychological quality of life of these candidates.BID is defined as the negative perceptions and feelings one has about the body. 8 Evidence indicates that individuals with extreme obesity, especially females, tend to be more dissatisfied with their bodies than their normal weight counterparts. 3 Moreover, among bariatric surgery patients BID was found to be associated with lower self-esteem, weight-related stigma or overt discrimination, increased symptoms of depression, 9,10 anxiety 11,12 and psychiatric problems. 13,14 However, there is a paucity of data concerning the association of BID with suicidality in bariatric surgery patients, and results are varied.While there is some evidence that such an association does exist, at least among adolescents with disordered eating behaviours, 15,16 other stud...

Objective: To analyze the relationship between neutrophil count and depression based on the NHANES database and to explore the moderating effect of physical activity on the relationship between neutrophils and depression. Methods: Cross-sectional data from the NHANES database were extracted, including demographic information, neutrophil count, scores from the PHQ-9 depression self-assessment scale, and scores from the GPAQ (Global Physical Activity Questionnaire). Pearson correlation, binary logistic regression, restricted cubic spline models, and linear regression equation models were used to analyze the association among physical activity, neutrophil count, and depression. Results: There was a positive correlation between neutrophil count and depression, with an OR[95%CI] of 1.12[1.011,1.24]. The effect of physical activity in moderating the impact of neutrophils on depression was statistically significant (β=-0.1691, P<0.05). Conclusion: Identifying depression in adults can be informed by monitoring neutrophil counts, which may be related to the "inflammation-induced depression" theory. Physical activity, as an effective moderator, significantly reduces the impact of neutrophils on depression, offering potential value in future prevention and intervention strategies for depression.
