It organizes activities at WPA meetings, produces scientific publications and develops guidance on relevant topics, in collaboration with key stakeholder groups such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the International College of Obsessive-Compulsive Spectrum Disorders (ICOCS) (www.icocs.org), the Anxiety Disorders and Obsessive-Compulsive Research Networks of the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP) (www.ecnp.eu), and the European Network for Problematic Usage of the Internet (www.internetandme.eu).

To improve recognition and diagnosis, some members of our Section worked with the WHO to reclassify disparate diagnoses into a single Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders grouping.

The popularity of the concept is largely rooted in its premise that deficits in adaptive responses toward undesired affective states contribute to the development and maintenance of most forms of psychopathology.</p>\u0000<p>This appears obvious when considering psychiatric disorders that are primarily defined by an excess of undesired affective states (e.g., anxiety and mood disorders). For these conditions, it follows almost by definition that the perpetuation or escalation of undesired affective states results from the individual's inability to regulate them.</p>\u0000<p>However, given that many behavioral and cognitive symptoms of other psychiatric disorders can also be conceptualized as dysfunctional ER strategies, the scope of this paradigm extends much further. Consider, for example, when avoidance is used to reduce anxiety, when alcohol is consumed to numb loneliness, when binge eating serves to distract from emotional anguish, or when appraising a situation as uncontrollable and hopeless is used to reduce the pressure to solve one's problems or to shield oneself from further disappointment. In all these scenarios, behavioral or cognitive strategies yield short-lived relief from undesired affective states. Since the immediate ameliorating effects of these maladaptive strategies reinforce their usage, individuals tend to progressively increase their adoption until criteria for an anxiety, alcohol use, eating or mood disorder, etc. are met.</p>\u0000<p>Importantly, this trajectory is preventable if the individual realizes the negative mid- and long-term consequences of maladaptive strategies, and pivots to more adaptive ways of coping with undesired affective states. However, any such shift will fail to the extent that the individual lacks effective ER skills. Since all psychiatric disorders are arguably maintained by behaviors and cognitions that initially reduce negative affect, and since a distressed individual is more likely to utilize those strategies in the absence of more adaptive alternatives, it can be hypothesized that all psychiatric disorders are, to a significant degree, perpetuated by insufficient ER skills.</p>\u0000<p>Drawing on this framework, it can be deduced that patients with psychiatric disorders should benefit from treatments that systematically enhance effective ER skills. Evidence-based ER frameworks, such as the Adaptive Coping with Emotions Model<span><sup>1</sup></span>, posit that such treatments should foster the ability to modify the intensity and duration of undesired affective states, as well as the ability to accept and tolerate such states when modification is not possible.</p>\u0000<p>Additionally, these treatments should foster so-called preparatory ER skills that facilitate the successful utilization of modification- and acceptance-focused ER skills.

The first half of the 20th century has been mostly devoted to conceptualizing the psychological component of mental disorders, the second half to the understanding of the biological component. We are now, in the 21st century, busy at better understanding the role of social processes that impact treatment approaches to psychopathology as well as the psychiatrist-patient relationship.</p>\u0000<p>Even more than other medical disciplines, psychiatry is influenced by external events that plague society, such as epidemics, natural disasters and wars. These events often require the involvement of ethics committees that will determine the duties and rights of the physician in potentially conflictual ethical contexts, such as triage situations (i.e., choosing whom to treat first). The COVID-19 pandemic has shown how deeply interwoven the epidemiology of mental disorders and the access to mental health services are with both social factors and somatic health.

Likewise, the importance of the psychiatrist's presence in transdisciplinary medical teams, as well as in hospital ethics committees, has become more obvious than in the past. It is also increasingly clear that codes of ethics of physical medicine and psychiatry overlap to a large extent, especially with regard to the therapist-patient relationship.</p>\u0000<p>The second topic I wish to emphasize is the changing relationship between psychiatrists and representatives of","PeriodicalId":23858,"journal":{"name":"World Psychiatry","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":73.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142248371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, previous studies have considered only a few pairs of conditions, or have reported only relative risks. This study aimed to systematically explore the associations between physical diseases and subsequent mental disorders. It examined a population-based cohort of 7,673,978 people living in Denmark between 2000 and 2021, and followed them for a total of 119.3 million person-years. The study assessed nine broad categories of physical diseases (cardiovascular, endocrine, respiratory, gastrointestinal, urogenital, musculoskeletal, hematological and neurological diseases, and cancers), encompassing 31 specific diseases, and the subsequent risk of mental disorder diagnoses, encompassing the ten ICD-10 groupings (organic, including symptomatic, mental disorders; mental disorders due to psychoactive substance use; schizophrenia and related disorders; mood disorders; neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disorders; eating disorders; personality disorders; intellectual disabilities; pervasive developmental disorders; and behavioral and emotional disorders with onset usually occurring in childhood and adolescence). Using Poisson regression, the overall and time-dependent incidence rate ratios (IRRs) for pairs of physical diseases and mental disorders were calculated, adjusting for age, sex and calendar time. Absolute risks were estimated with the Aalen-Johansen estimator. In total, 646,171 people (8.4%) were identified as having any mental disorder during follow-up. All physical diseases except cancers were associated with an elevated risk of any mental disorder. For the nine broad pairs of physical diseases and mental disorders, the median point estimate of IRR was 1.51 (range: 0.99-1.84; interquartile range: 1.29-1.59). The IRRs ranged from 0.99 (95% CI: 0.98-1.01) after cancers to 1.84 (95% CI: 1.83-1.85) after musculoskeletal diseases. Risks varied over time after the diagnosis of physical diseases. The cumulative mental disorder incidence within 15 years after diagnosis of a physical disease varied from 3.73% (95% CI: 3.67-3.80) for cancers to 10.19% (95% CI: 10.13-10.25) for respiratory diseases. These data document that most physical diseases are associated with an elevated risk of subsequent mental disorders. Clinicians treating physical diseases should constantly be alert to the possible development of secondary mental disorders.","PeriodicalId":23858,"journal":{"name":"World Psychiatry","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":73.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142248414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
