This study evaluated an important research gap, the negative and positive side effects of VERP and its safety. Eighty outpatients with contamination- or checking-related OCD were randomized to two conditions: VERP (six weekly sessions) or care as usual (CAU). Assessments were conducted at baseline (t0), 6 weeks after t0 (t1), and 3 months after t1 (t2). General side effects (Negative and Positive Side Effects Questionnaire; NPSE) and those specific to virtual reality (VERP-Specific Side Effects Questionnaire; VEQ) were assessed at t1. Cybersickness (Simulator Sickness Questionnaire; SSQ) was assessed before and after each session. The safety evaluation involved assessing the worsening of OC-symptoms (Reliable Change Index of the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale; Y‑BOCS) from t0 to t1 and serious adverse events during the intervention. Results indicated no significant clinical symptom deterioration in the VERP group and no adverse events. In total, 47% of participants in both groups experienced at least one side effect, with significantly fewer reported in the VERP than in the CAU group (p < 0.001). Concerning VERP-specific side effects, at least one side effect was found in 55% of the patients. The SSQ total score did not significantly change from before to after the VERP sessions (p = 0.098, Cohen's d = 0.297). In conclusion, VERP was safe and demonstrated few side effects, highlighting its potential as a well-tolerated and safe intervention for patients with OCD.","PeriodicalId":44560,"journal":{"name":"NEUROPSYCHIATRIE","volume":" ","pages":"55-67"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143674716","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}

In 2017, the creation of a suicide database has begun in Carinthia which means that there is detailed data about suicides from 2018 up to now for this federal Austrian state.Aim of the study was to characterise all suicides based on the available information from the suicide database Carinthia. The data of 525 suicides from 2018 till 2022 (78% male, 1/3 from the age of 65 up) were subjected to descriptive analysis and cluster analysis.About 80% of suicides happened without prior notice and often in public places (43%). Almost half of the suicides involved a mental disorder and 1/3 involved a sudden change in behaviour. The analysis revealed five clusters which are characterised as follows: \"relationship issues, alcohol problems, mentally ill, announced, younger age\" (N = 150), \"old and sick\" (N = 149), \"withdrawal, mentally ill, younger age, public place\" (N = 135), \"unannounced, alone at home, higher age\" (N = 56), and \"the unidentified\" (N = 35). For most of the suicides, multiple stressors and illnesses were surveyed which were identified as risk factors and warning signals. For a smaller number, many factors are unknown, and the suicides occur unannounced and unexpectedly.Several specific suicide prevention strategies could be introduced based on this data, which has also been incorporated into international studies.","PeriodicalId":44560,"journal":{"name":"NEUROPSYCHIATRIE","volume":" ","pages":"79-86"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143671367","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 traditionally mandated transfer from child and adolescent psychiatry to adult psychiatric care at the age of 18 does not satisfy this need. A new amendment to the medical training regulations (Ärztinnen/Ärzte-Ausbildungsordnung), effective May 15, 2024, now officially allows child and adolescent psychiatrists (CAPs) in Austria to continue treatment after their patients reach legal adulthood. This study is the first to analyze CAPs' assessments of the amendment and aims to document initial effects on care provision.Methodology: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 child and adolescent psychiatrists (CAPs) working in various settings. Data analysis was performed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis.Results: The study shows that the amendment was introduced unexpectedly for many CAPs, with some private practitioners expressing frustration over the lack of preparation time. Despite this, the reform was largely welcomed and even considered overdue by some. However, given the high patient load, many CAPs still allocate their limited resources to minors, leaving the amendment's impact minimal. In the inpatient sector, persistent shortages of beds have also hindered any substantial changes.Conclusions: While the amendment receives substantive approval from the interviewed CAPs, existing resource constraints in both inpatient and outpatient sectors prevent the realization of its potential. The improvements in psychiatric care for transition-age patients intended by the amendment will likely not materialize without capacity expansion.","PeriodicalId":44560,"journal":{"name":"NEUROPSYCHIATRIE","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144188216","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}

Many countries have prioritised perinatal and infant mental health care (PIMHC). In Austria, it is currently unknown how many services are available in which region. The paper aims to map the current PIMHC landscape.Methods: Using publicly accessible sources, such as health reports or organisation websites and supplementary information from experts, we collected data on eight characteristics of services to prevent, early identify, treat or support parents with a PMI. We extracted the information into tables, narratively summarised the results and presented a geographical visualisation of service availability.Results: While there is currently no standardised nationwide systematic screening for PMI in place, there are a variety of services to support and treat parents with a PMI of different severity in Austria. However, there are large regional variations and gaps in care, particularly regarding specialised PIMHC and trained staff, leading to unequal access. PIMHC primarily addresses mothers and involves many, mostly public, providers and funding sources.Conclusion: There is an urgent need to reduce the regional disparities regarding specialised PIMHC, ensuring adequate referrals and treatment and reducing inequalities in access to care. The results also call for a national strategy and defined political, administrative and service provider responsibilities based on international evidence-based recommendations. Investing in the training of staff and defined care pathways seems warranted.","PeriodicalId":44560,"journal":{"name":"NEUROPSYCHIATRIE","volume":" ","pages":"11-19"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11876254/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142910903","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}

A total of 103 patients were interviewed and evaluated using the following instruments: McGill Questionnaire, visual numerical scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Medical Outcomes Study SF-36.Results: The affective, sensory and miscellaneous categories of anxious patients were higher than the nonanxious population (p < 0.05). In the depressed population, the \"affective\" category was higher than the nondepressed population (p < 0.05). Regarding the anxious and depressed population, the affective, sensory and miscellaneous categories were superior to the nonanxious and nondepressed population (p < 0.05).Discussion: Depression and anxiety are the most common psychiatric disorders in the population with chronic pain, with a prevalence of 30-40%. In the presence of anxiety and depression, a worse qualitative evaluation was observed. The higher the scores obtained in the assessment of these two mental disorders, the higher the pain index found, and the higher pain index correlates with a lower quality of life.Conclusion: The presence of anxiety and depression altered the qualitative assessment of pain, making it more unpleasant. The pain index correlated with quality of life without, however, being related to pain intensity.","PeriodicalId":44560,"journal":{"name":"NEUROPSYCHIATRIE","volume":" ","pages":"20-27"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143459620","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}

Few explanations have been offered for these recent developments. One proposal that has generated considerable attention is the notion of \"rapid-onset\" gender dysphoria, which is assumed to apply to a subset of adolescents and young adults. First introduced by Lisa Littman in a 2018 study of parental reports, it describes a subset of youth, primarily natal females, with no childhood indicators of gender dysphoria but with a sudden emergence of gender dysphoria symptoms during puberty or after its completion. For them, identifying as transgender is assumed to serve as a maladaptive coping mechanism for underlying mental health issues and is linked to social influences from peer groups and through social media. The purpose of this article is to analyze this theory and its associated hypotheses against the existing evidence base and to discuss its potential implications for future research and the advancement of treatment paradigms.","PeriodicalId":44560,"journal":{"name":"NEUROPSYCHIATRIE","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11876199/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141477590","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}
