The current study correlates the severity and subtypes of ADHD with caregiver strain in children with ADHD.Methods: A cross-sectional study in which 40 caregivers of children with ADHD were assessed using a semi-structured proforma, Caregiver Strain Questionnaire (CSQ), and Vanderbilt ADHD Diagnostic Parent Rating Scale (VADPRS).Results: The mean global score of caregiver strain in this study was suggestive of moderate caregiver burden. The combined subtype of ADHD was the most common (42.5%) and had the greatest mean score of severity in this study, but it caused the least caregiver burden (P < .05). The inattentive subtype of ADHD was causing the greatest caregiver strain in all the domains of strain (objective, subjective externalized, and subjective internalized) [P < .05]. Most of the children had co-morbid psychiatric conditions (67.5%), of which oppositional defiant disorder was the commonest (60%) and caused significant caregiver strain in all the domains (P value even up to <.01 and <.001 for some domains).Conclusion: The severity of caregiver burden is influenced by the subtype of ADHD and the existence of co-morbid psychiatric conditions. Applying such findings in routine clinical practice can be more helpful for improving the overall well-being of the child and the caregiver.","PeriodicalId":13476,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Psychological Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"02537176251316358"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11830161/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143440857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Attempts were taken to compare the trend of change in inflammatory biomarkers with clinical improvement.Result: A total of 157 patients with ATPD were screened to recruit 78 patients, of which only 33 patients were followed up till three months from the point of recruitment. More than three-fourths of the patients improved significantly during the brief follow-up period. Patients who improved substantially with antipsychotic drug treatment had a significantly lower age and age at the onset of psychiatric illness. The patients who improved also had a significant reduction in total leucocyte count, absolute neutrophil count, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio from baseline to three-month follow-up. Duration of untreated illness had a significant positive correlation (P = .042; r = 0.401) with the ESR.Conclusion: Inflammatory biomarkers are raised in drug naïve patients with ATPD, which improves with antipsychotic drug treatment, indicating a possible role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of ATPD.","PeriodicalId":13476,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Psychological Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"02537176251317648"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11829276/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143432465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cognitive Therapy for Suicidal Patients (CT-SP) has shown promise, but its implementation in India needs further investigation.Novelty: This study adopts a transdiagnostic approach to suicidality, recognizing the strong link between various mental health conditions and STBs. The study aims to use an evidence-based intervention for acute suicidal risk and understand its outcomes in the Indian context using systematic implementation. The blended delivery format of the intervention (both in-person and online) further enhances its relevance for diverse clinical settings.Objectives: The study aims to assess the effectiveness of a brief CT-SP intervention in reducing the severity of suicidal ideation and behaviors. Secondary objectives include evaluating changes in emotional regulation, cognitive flexibility, hopelessness, depression, anxiety, problem-solving skills, frequency of dysfunctional cognitions, and overall functioning.Methods: The study will use an open-label, single-group design with baseline, post-intervention, and follow-up assessments at one, three, and six months. Patients with recent suicidal ideation or behaviors will be recruited across diagnoses. The intervention consists of a ten-session CT-SP protocol delivered in a blended format over five weeks.Expected outcome: The study would contribute to the empirical understanding of suicide risk management in clinical settings and inform the development of culturally relevant interventions specific to the Indian context.","PeriodicalId":13476,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Psychological Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"02537176251315390"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11829275/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143432531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data regarding the use of clinical rating scales (Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), or Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS)) each week was collected and analyzed accordingly.Results: Out of 50 case records retrieved, the majority (60%) were male. The sample mean age was 37.76 ± 12.78 years. Forty percent of the sample records had schizophrenia, 38% had BPAD-mania, and 22% had depressive disorders. The sample had an average inpatient hospital stay of 17.68 ± 8.25 days. At baseline, only 54% were administered respective clinical rating scales. At the end of the first week, 42% were assessed using clinical rating scales. At the end of the second and third weeks, only 35.9.1% and 13.3% of patients were monitored by rating scales, and the utilization rate declined further, with a downward slump in subsequent weeks.Conclusions: Utilization of clinical rating scales was found to be low in our tertiary care teaching hospital. Postgraduate trainees need more exposure and formal training in applying psychiatric rating scales for better patient care.","PeriodicalId":13476,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Psychological Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"02537176241310942"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11822780/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143432557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
