This was attributed to patients' poor overall health conditions, concomitant illnesses and unhealthy lifestyles. However, only schizophrenia is in a statistically significant correlation with very serious conditions leading to death, possibly as a result of underlying immune dysfunctions. Clozapine (an antipsychotic used in therapy of treatment resistant schizophrenia) seems to decrease the likelihood of recovery in COVID-19 patients, however admi nistration of antidepressant medications appears to increase it. It has also been justified that among these antidepressant drugs, fluvoxamin shows to have an effect in inhibiting cytokine storms and reducing the severity of the COVID-19 infection.

In connection with the case, the domestic and international regulation of the insanity will be reviewed and analyzed, with a brief overview of its execution of a sentence. In this context, it can be stated that both the Hungarian and foreign regulations consider it to be ground for total or partial exemption from criminal responsibility if the ability to set off at the time of the commission of the act is limited or excluded. Where appropriate, the decision on the matter, in addition to leading to a conviction or acquittal of the act, also has an impact on enforcement, as it does not matter whether the place of detention is a medical or penitentiary institution. After that, after the general definition of the concept and types of terrorism, the mental disorders that may occur in connection with the mentioned acts and may affect the ability to set off are described. Finally, based on a review of the literature, it can be concluded that insanity as ground for total or partial exemption from criminal responsibility and the application of the relevant legal consequences to perpetrators of terrorist acts is not excluded, but given the complexity of the behavior and the duration of mental disorders fewer illnesses can occur as in the case of other criminal offenses.</p>","PeriodicalId":35063,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatria Hungarica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40559179","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}

Mentalization can be divided into two separate systems: to an explicit part characterized by being conscious, reflective, verbal, and to an implicit part that is unconscious, automatic, non-verbal, intuitive. The term spontaneous mentalization is also used for the attribution of mental state that appears without explicit instruction. In schizophrenia, several studies have confirmed the deficit of explicit mentalization, but little data are available on non-explicit mentalization.

In contrast, studies clearly report a deficit in spontaneous mentalization. Patients with schizophrenia are less sensitive to situations requiring spontaneous mentalizing activity. Interactions are less described by complex intentional mental states, and the descriptions often do not correspond to the particular interaction.

These different deficits can also have potential therapeutic consequences.</p>","PeriodicalId":35063,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatria Hungarica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"25449809","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}

Although more and more theories try to describe sui - cide behavior, our scales struggle with severe psychometric limitations. While quantitative psychometric scales stand on a theoretically firm basis, their sensitivity is poor; (semi)structured, qualitative interviews are systematic and com - prehensive but costly and time-consuming. Interviews, compared to scales, also represent a new approach in suicide risk assessment. In this approach, among other things, expanding clinicians' knowledge about suicide, the narrative approach of a suicide crisis and suicide attempt, and a more specified formulation of the risk level and indicated intervention are central. Following the theoretical part of the paper, I will describe two assessment tools that represent the quantitative and qualitative approaches, respectively. I would like to argue that both short psychometric scales and systematic interviews have their salient role in different areas of clinical practice.
