They share an augmented arousal-activity during NREM sleep with sleep-wake dissociations, culminating in sleep terrors and sleep-related hypermotor seizures with similar symptoms. The known mutations underlying the two spectra are different, but there are multifold population-genetic-, family- and even individual (the two conditions occurring in the same person) overlaps supporting common genetic roots. In the episodes of disorders of arousal, the anterior cingulate, anterior insular and pre-frontal cortices (shown to be involved in fear- and emotion processing) are activated within a sleeping brain. These regions overlap with the seizure-onset zones of successfully operated sleep-related hypermotor seizures, and notably, belong to the salience network being consistent with its hubs. The arousal-relatedness and the similar fearful disorientation occurring in sleep terrors and hypermotor seizures, make them alike the acute stress-responses emerging from sleep; triggered by false alarms. An acute stress-response can easily mobilize the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis (preparing fight-flight responses in wakefulness); through its direct pathways to and from the salience network. This hypothesis has never been studied.</p>","PeriodicalId":35063,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatria Hungarica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140159230","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}

{"title":"[The role of artificial intelligence in psychiatry].","authors":"Róbert Wernigg, Bálint Hajduska-Dér","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>In recent decades a global problem in mental health has been the increase in the relative proportion of patients who do not receive care, which is associated with loss of life years and deterioration in quality of life. The practical application of artificial intelligence (AI) can help in the fields of data analysis, diagnosis, therapy planning, among others in psychiatric care, thus reducing the human resource input. Today's artificial narrow intelligence (ANI), also known as weak AI, can recognise patterns and correlations in large data sets with the help of machine learning procedures and to make autonomous decisions while making its own refinements. The use of AI-based systems may be effective in the classification of mental health disorders, in disease prevention, in clinical diagnosis and treatment without human input, and finally, it can play a supporting role in many areas of data analysis (quality care assessment, research). A key area of diagnostics is the estimation of suicidal risk and the assessment of mood status using machine learning, which can be used to make predictions with high accuracy, by analysing written text or speech. By examining correlations within large data sets, advances in precision medicine could also be made, allowing more accurate prediction of medication. Psychotherapeutic programs using artificial intelligence are already available today, which can provide users with easily accessible help, mainly using cognitive therapy tools. In addition to its obvious benefits, the use of artificial intelligence also raises ethical and methodological questions, making its regulation a key issue for the future.</p>","PeriodicalId":35063,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatria Hungarica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140159231","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}

The changes are true reflexions of the given society. In the management of behaviours disturbing community life medical treatment, law enforcement and religious measures change periodically, sometimes one, sometimes the other comes to the fore. One of the most influential spiritual currents of the 20th century has been the dismantling of large institutions, called deinstitutionalisation, which process could be experienced by the currently active professional generations. New ideas have followed each other since the turn of the millennium at an ever-accelerating pace. The postmodern age threatens to fragment our profession. The mentally ill person finds less and less space for the global suffering of his or her person to be heard. The system forces the professional to reflect the mental illness as a malfunction of an organ, or name it in the form of a recently published linguistic invention (diagnostic category). The global nature of the person is lost, in its biological, psychological, social and spiritual wholeness. This paper searches for and tries to articulate modern, forward-looking clues to the identity of psychiatry (and the psychiatrist). The facts of the subject of the person come to the fore, such as self-identity, value-drivenness, intentionality, future-orientation, and the spiritual dimension.</p>","PeriodicalId":35063,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatria Hungarica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140159232","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}

Relatives of patients with schizophrenia play a key role in treatment, greatly assisting the monitoring of patients' condition and facilitating their involvement in long-term care. The challenges associated with the varied symptoms of schizophrenia place an increased burden on family members, including psychological distress often accompanied by a deterioration in quality of life. In this context, the literature and international protocols highlight the need for interventions involving the patients' family, which in most cases focus on psychoeducation and development of communication skills. At the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, Semmelweis University, we have initiated and organized psychoeducational support groups for relatives of patients living with schizophrenia since August 2019. The first half of the 10-session training focuses on providing information about the disease, therapeutic options, and relapse prevention, reflecting on the family members' own experiences. In the second half of the training, we focus on the psychological difficulties that family members face in their daily lives, such as stress management and communication problems within the family, stigmatization and decreased self-care.

Meta-analyses suggest that the main risk factors are current suicidal ideation, the presence of a mental disorder, high perceived stress levels, previous suicidal attempts or self-harm, and institutional and criminogenic variables. Empirical evidence is consistent with the integrated motivational-volitional model of suicidality, which also emphasizes the role of impulsivity in suicidal behaviour. The main objectives of our research are: (a) factor analysis of the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-Brief-8 (BIS-R-8); (b) examination of the mental health status of prisoners, and the suicidal risk factors in our sample; (c) modeling the effect of mindfulness skills on the main risk factors.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>In our cross-sectional survey, we matched a sample of inmates to a convenience sample according to gender and age (N=378).

Low level of mindfulness skills directly and indirectly via perceived stress explains 50% of the heterogeneity in depression.</p><p><strong>Discussion: </strong>In correctional institutions BIS-8-R can be a suitable screening tool for measuring impulsivity as a suicide risk factor.
