Special attention was paid to the clinical application of higher doses of the drug, above 150 mg in the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders. Venlafaxine is one of the most effective antidepressants. The maximum recommended dose is 225 mg/day for anxiety disorders and 375 mg/day for major depression. The use of higher doses of the drug allows to take full advantage of its dual mechanism of action and improve its effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":39960,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatria","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42648222","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}

Regarding this, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between personality \u0000characteristics and QOL in patients with epilepsy. \u0000 Material and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 epileptic patients referred to Neurology \u0000Clinic of Ali-ibn Abi Talib Hospital in Zahedan, Iran in 2015. The NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI) and Short Form \u0000Health Survey (SF-12) questionnaires were used to determine the personality characteristics and QOL scores, respectively. \u0000 Results: The mean of QOL score was 28.94±4.58. Age, gender, marital status, education level, and duration of epilepsy \u0000had no significant correlation with the QOL. The QOL showed a negative correlation with openness to experience and \u0000neuroticism. However, this variable had a direct correlation with conscientiousness, agreeableness, and extraversion. \u0000There was a significant relationship between the predictor variables (extraversion and neuroticism) and the criterion \u0000variable (QOL). Therefore, extraversion and neuroticism can be considered as the predictors of the QOL. \u0000 Conclusions: The extraversion and neuroticism seem to be two predictors of the QOL in the epileptic patients. Accordingly, \u0000whereas the patients with high levels of neuroticism had low QOL, this value was higher in those with high \u0000levels of extraversion.","PeriodicalId":39960,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatria","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41845647","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}

Our aim was to highlight the significance of a holistic approach to the patient, and scrupulous documentation of existing somatic diseases in psychiatric hospital discharge summary reports. Due to the common lack of compliance on the part of psychiatric patients, it proves utterly important to establish cooperation between healthcare providers and families of the mentally ill. Coronavirus infection (COVID-19) becomes another, additional complication in the management of psychiatric inpatients. We believe that the discussed interdisciplinary approach, together with increased family or institutional supervision can contribute to the improvement of psychiatric patients’ physical and mental health status as well as general functioning.","PeriodicalId":39960,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatria","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43791393","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}

Treatments to prevent or slow down cognitive decline in AD remain an urgent therapeutic need. During the last decades the use of b secretase inhibitors as well as immunotherapy against Ab, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents as well as natural products and many others have been investigated. Although considerable efforts have been made to develop more effective therapeutic agents for AD therapy, clinical trials failed to reach efficacy endpoints in improving cognitive function in most cases to date or have been terminated due to adverse events. Current pharmacotherapy of AD is still limited to cholinesterase inhibitors and the N-methyl-D-aspartate antagonist memantine which were approved at the turn of the century. Despite critical opinions on the efficacy of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and memantine, it should be said that these drugs improve memory and other cognitive functions throughout most of the duration of the disease. As Memantine, and the AChEIs target two different aspects of AD pathology their complementary mechanisms offer superior benefit as combination therapy. Moreover preclinical studies have shown that memantine and AChEIs have neuroprotective effects.","PeriodicalId":39960,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatria","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42845476","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}
