Paired t-test analysis revealed significant difference on outcome measures in both groups. Between-subject analysis revealed that the CBT-alone group was not significantly different in terms of improvement than CBT-withmedication group even when confounding variables were statistically controlled by way of testing analysis of covariance and propensity score match (nearest neighbour match).

Contemporary research on abnormal subjective experiences in schizophrenia has used several different theoretical frameworks. The most common of these is the phenomenological approach. A prominent example of the phenomenological approach is the minimal self disorder model. In this article, we will discuss, prominent theories on the concept of 'self ', historical background of the minimal self disorder model in schizophrenia and the current approach to this model. According to this model, self disorders have been hypothesized to be an underlying and trait-like core feature of schizophrenia. The model suggests that this minimal self is disturbed in three ways in people with schizophrenia: hyperreflexivity, diminished self-affection (diminished self-presence) and disturbed grip or hold on the cognitive-perceptual world. Hyperreflexivity is defined as the excessive attention to processes that would ordinarily be implicitly experienced. Diminished self-affection (diminished self-presence) refers to an experience of a loss of self-agency. Disturbed grip or hold on the cognitive-perceptual world refers to the disturbances of spatio-temporal structuring of the experiential field. These three aspects are intimately interlinked, and should be understood more as the components of a single entity. Finally, clinical symptoms that may indicate minimal self disorder and the abnormal self experiences of two patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia are discussed.

Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) represent non-cognitive symptoms and behaviors in dementia patients. The frequency of NPS accompanying dementia increases as the disease progresses. Studies reveal that NPS are seen in patients with dementia as well as in the elderly without cognitive complaints, individuals with subjective cognitive complaints, and individuals diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment. Based on these findings, identifying and detecting these symptoms were thought to be useful in predicting the development of dementia in cases where cognitive symptoms have not yet appeared. 'Mild Behavioral Impairment' was first defined by Taragano and Allegri, and it was introduced as a concept that includes neurobehavioral symptoms seen in elderly people for at least 6 months and that do not meet the diagnostic criteria of any other psychiatric syndrome. Mild Behavioral Impairment Checklist (MBI-C) has been developed recently which consists of 34 questions including apathy, mood, impulse dyscontrol, social inappropriateness, abnormal thinking, and perception. Studies on the neurobiological basis of these sub-domains and their relationship with biomarkers gained momentum with the definition of the concept and the development of MBI-C. However, the concept is still very new and it is possible for people to be over-diagnosed and to face the risk of stigmatization during the evaluation. Therefore, studies with large samples are needed. Demonstrating the validity of this concept will also serve the purpose of identifying the subjects with a neurodegenerative disease without any cognitive complaints yet at a very early stage in clinical studies.

Concerning mental health, World Health Organization emphasizes that \"Mental Health is more than mental disorders. It is a state of well-being that includes using one's own abilities, self-realization, coping with the stresses in the natural flow of life, learning to be well and trying to heal, working efficiently and contributing to the society in which they live.\" (World Health Organization 2022a). It has been reported that the disease burden of common mental disorders (depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, psychoactive substance use disorders, suicide, etc.) is gradually increasing (World Health Organization 2021). Especially in the last century, the importance and seriousness of endemic and pandemic events (HIV, SARS virus, and still continuing Covid-19, etc.) or non-communicable diseases (cancer, heart diseases, diabetes, etc.), climate changes, economic, socio-political dynamics and wars are noteworthy as a predisposition and/or precipitating factors in terms of mental health (World Health Organization 2022a, World Health Organization 2022b). Protection and improvement of mental health, together with individual, social, and structural mental health determinants, predict interventions that reduce risks, increase resilience, and create a supportive environment for mental health. These interventions are recommended to be designed individually, in a way to be disseminated to special groups across the community. Globally, one person dies by suicide every 40 seconds, and more than 18 million health workers are needed in terms of human resources.</p>","PeriodicalId":47266,"journal":{"name":"Turk Psikiyatri Dergisi","volume":"33 4","pages":"293-294"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10532683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
