Methods: Female patients attending the psychiatric OPD, diagnosed with depression as per ICD-10 guidelines and provided informed consent participated in this questionnaire-based study. A total of 135 patients who attended the OPD in 9 months were assessed for the severity of depression and medication adherence by administering scales to assess the severity of depression and medication adherence was assessed by questioning about the drug taking and hospital attending behaviour. Out of this, thirty-one were attending for the first episode and hence were excluded from the analysis. Results: Out of the 104 female patients diagnosed with depression of more than one episode, 44 (42.3%) had mild depression, 52 (50%) had moderate depression and 8 (7.7%) had severe depression. Twenty-nine women (27.9%) were on medications and 75 (72.1%) women were not taking their medications. While greater proportion of women with mild depression were adherent to medication (51.7%), more women with moderate depression didn’t adhere to medication (54.7%), even though such difference was statistically not significant. Older age, having a paid work and married status were significantly associated with medication (antidepressants) adherence. Conclusions: Our results indicate that medication adherence is associated with factors other than severity of depression. Work and marital status played a significant role in determining the adherence to antidepressant medications among women.","PeriodicalId":113988,"journal":{"name":"INDIAN JOURNAL OF MENTAL HEALTH AND NEUROSCIENCES","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114427107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early intervention has been shown to improve the core deficits and result in a favorable outcome in children with ASD. Various interventional methods, novel mechanisms, and approaches are being widely researched. Though accelerating interventional research in ASD is observed globally, evidence from Indian setting is sparse. Given the uniqueness of cultural, socio-economic conditions, population statistics, existing health care and referral system, it is pivotal to develop and test interventional methods that are applicable and acceptable to the indigenous population. This paper reviews the currently available evidence-based treatment modalities in the Indian settings, with a specific focus on the behavioral interventions. Early diagnosis is seldom seen to translate into early intervention. In the background of the existing challenges, strategies to translate research into practice in terms of developing sustainable methods of service delivery, capacity building, training of trainers, need for liaison between experts and role of health care policy makers are discussed. Improving awareness among parents, medical professionals and stakeholders is the first step forward, towards translating research into practice.","PeriodicalId":113988,"journal":{"name":"INDIAN JOURNAL OF MENTAL HEALTH AND NEUROSCIENCES","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130621935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Concurrent medical illness in depression is associated with greater functional and social impairment and significantly higher health care costs. A variety of mechanisms including lifestyle factors, immune-inflammatory pathways, medications and psychological factors have been proposed to explain the association between depression and physical illness. However, each of these pathways engenders unique challenges in managing such patients. Of utmost importance is to establish the nature of the underlying medical or psychological cause(s) which will inform customized management plans. This article initially reviews the prevalence of depression in medical conditions and vice versa. Subsequently, we move on to discuss specific approaches to diagnosis of depression in the context of medical co-morbidity. Finally, we describe evidence based pharmacological and psychosocial intervention strategies with some recommendations for common clinical scenarios. Evidence based care models to manage depression with physical illness are described which may be adapted for use in low resource settings.","PeriodicalId":113988,"journal":{"name":"INDIAN JOURNAL OF MENTAL HEALTH AND NEUROSCIENCES","volume":"195 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114973978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, the purpose of this review is to comprehensively examine the research studies on FEP from India. This would help to compare and contrast with other countries, develop specialist early intervention services and enlist research priorities pertaining to FEP. Methods: A Boolean search of articles published from January 1990 to March 2018 in electronic database of PubMed and Google Scholar was carried out and original research studies done on first-episode psychosis in India were incorporated in the current review. Case reports and review articles were excluded. Results: A total of 31 research studies were included for the review and classified into different subheadings of convenience. Conclusion: Even though the number of studies in Indian context pertaining to FEP is comparatively less than other western literature, the available results indicate certain characteristic similarities and differences in FEP from other parts of the world. We have also discussed on the importance of early intervention in FEP and the necessity for the creation of specialist early intervention services for mental health disorders.","PeriodicalId":113988,"journal":{"name":"INDIAN JOURNAL OF MENTAL HEALTH AND NEUROSCIENCES","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115070795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
