Limited research has also shown that individuals with BDD frequently self-report cognitive difficulties, but little is known about how they understand these difficulties in relation to their disorder or daily and life functioning. This study aimed to comprehensively examine adults' perceptions of cognitive difficulties in BDD.</p><p><strong>Method: </strong>A mixed-methods design was employed using an international online survey, which analysed quantitative and qualitative data (Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis) of lived experiences of cognitive difficulties from participants who self-reported a BDD diagnosis or severe BDD symptomatology via the Dysmorphic Concern Questionnaire (N = 433).</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Most participants (82%) endorsed significant cognitive difficulties they believed were linked to their disorder, with 75% reporting substantial effects on daily life and overall quality of life. Few had discussed these concerns with clinicians due to shame, misattribution, or uncertainty about their relevance. Participants expressed strong support for research into cognitive aspects of BDD.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Perceived cognitive difficulties are widespread, distressing, and functionally impactful for individuals with BDD. These findings highlight the need for clinicians to actively assess cognitive difficulties, consider the possibility of co-occurring conditions such as ADHD, and incorporate this understanding into treatment planning to enhance engagement and therapeutic outcomes.</p><p><strong>Statement of research significance: </strong>Research Question(s) or Topic(s): How do adults with body dysmorphic disorder perceive their cognitive difficulties and what impacts do they report?</p><p><strong>Main findings: </strong>Adults who reported a diagnosis of body dysmorphic disorder or severe dysmorphic concerns described frequent cognitive difficulties they believed were connected to their condition. Most reported effects on daily functioning and quality of life, yet many had not discussed these concerns with clinicians due to shame, uncertainty about their cause, or not recognising their significance. Study Contributions: This study offers the most detailed account to date of how people with body dysmorphic disorder understand and experience their cognitive difficulties. It identifies barriers to disclosure, emphasises the need for clinicians to enquire proactively about cognitive concerns, and calls for further research to clarify their role in the disorder.</p>","PeriodicalId":10554,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive psychiatry","volume":"148 ","pages":"152708"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2026-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147856021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies suggest that APP may offer advantages over monotherapy (APM) regarding effectiveness and all-cause discontinuation. This nationwide study assessed the reproducibility and robustness of these findings. The primary objective was to compare psychiatric readmission rates between APP and APM in psychotic disorder patients METHODS: Data were extracted from the French National Health insurance database (SNDS). Patients aged 18 or older with at least one psychiatric hospitalization between 1 January 2014 and 31 December 2020 were included. The primary outcome was time to psychiatric readmission. A within-individual study design was applied to limit confounding, by comparing periods with different treatment exposures within the same patient FINDINGS: A total of 234,959 adults with at least one hospitalization for a psychotic condition were included, with a median follow-up of 7 years. Antipsychotic treatment was associated with a (20%-50%) reduction in psychiatric readmission risk compared with no treatment. Rehospitalization remained common (71.6%). The median cumulative rehospitalization duration was 67 days, and 21.8% of patients had more than four admissions. Among the 71.1% exposed to APP, several combinations demonstrated distinct benefits. Clozapine-inclusive combinations (with risperidone or amisulpride) and loxapine-amisulpride combinations reduced rehospitalization risk. Quetiapine combinations also lowered risk by (10%- 20%) compared with quetiapine monotherapy INTERPRETATION: Derived from a large cohort, our findings corroborate previous evidence that APP's benefit reduces psychiatric rehospitalization and support its utility for psychotic specific patient subpopulations. This study confirms the reproducibility and robustness of APP's effectiveness in real-world settings.</p>","PeriodicalId":10554,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive psychiatry","volume":"148 ","pages":"152704"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147834871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
