{"title":"The Role of Psychiatrists Corporeal Damage Assessment for Financial Compensation After Physical Injury in France","authors":"Yannick Louis Martin","doi":"10.18662/brain/15.1/544","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18662/brain/15.1/544","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000In recent years, there has been growing recognition of the significant impact of psychological and emotional injuries on the lives of individuals who have experienced physical trauma. The importance of psychiatric involvement in determining the extent of mental trauma and its impact on an individual's life will be highlighted, as well as the challenges faced by psychiatrists in making such assessments. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Corporal damage assessment is a critical component of the process of financial compensation for individuals who have experienced physical injuries. In France, this process is governed by a complex legal framework that includes the Civil Code, the Social Security Code, and the Code of Criminal Procedure. These laws and regulations outline the various types of financial compensation that may be awarded to victims of physical injury, including medical expenses, loss of income, and compensation for pain and suffering. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Given the increasing awareness of the importance of mental health, the role of psychiatrists in corporal damage assessment has become more significant. These mental health professionals are tasked with assessing psychological and emotional injuries, determining the extent of mental trauma, and evaluating the impact of physical injury on an individual's mental health. The challenges include distinguishing between pre-existing and injury-related mental health issues, overcoming the subjective nature of psychological assessment, and balancing patient advocacy with impartiality. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Finally, this presentation will provide a series of case studies that illustrate the impact of psychiatrist involvement in financial compensation cases. These case studies will highlight examples of successful psychiatric assessments, as well as lessons learned from these cases. In conclusion, the presentation will emphasize the importance of the psychiatrist's role in corporal damage assessment and explore potential improvements and future directions for this field (Daligand, 1992). \u0000","PeriodicalId":504804,"journal":{"name":"BRAIN.

We hypothesized that increased screen time is associated with heightened display of internalizing and externalizing symptoms. We investigated this association on a sample of 2497 highschoolers recruited from one big city in southern Romania. They filled in a series of items focusing on screen time average exposure, display of depression and anxiety symptoms, involvement in aggressive and delinquent behavior, and family context. The linear regression model showed that, after controlling for individual and family variables, more screen time exposure is associated to heighten depression and anxiety symptoms and more involvement into aggressive behavior. These findings contribute to the research in this new area of interest and may inform the development of prevention and supportive programs for adolescents and their families by adding evidence for clarifying the relationship.","PeriodicalId":504804,"journal":{"name":"BRAIN.

This paper aims to clarify the impact of depression on the quality of life of patients with moderate psoriasis. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 16 participants with psoriasis from April to May 2023. Patients with psoriasis vulgaris completed self-administered questionnaires which include demographic characteristics, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) and Dermatological Life Quality Index (DLQI). Data were collected both physically, during periodic checks and online by email. Only 16 patients met the eligibility criteria for study entry. All patients included in the study had moderate psoriasis vulgaris. Exclusion criteria for participation in the study was: current use of psychotropic medications. severe comorbidities or chronic medical conditions and visual, auditory, linguistic, or cognitive impairments. Results: After completed the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) half of them 8 (50%) had a score lower than 8 (minimal depression) and the other half  8 (50%) between 8-16 (mild depression). 14 (87.5%) of the participants had a DLQI score of more than 10, indicating severe impairment in their quality of life. The results obtained showed a positive correlation between Dermatological Life Quality Index (DLQI) andHamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D). Conclusions: Depressive manifestations significantly influence the quality of life of psoriasis patients analyzed. A multidisciplinary approach in treating the patient with psoriasis is indispensable because it is not only necessary to manage a disease or a \"case\", but also to manage a patient. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":504804,"journal":{"name":"BRAIN.

Although most efforts are focused on adult gamblers, there is growing concern about teenagers and young adults being more vulnerable to gambling addiction. Gambling practices and opportunities have evolved to the point where they are widely available and seen as a socially acceptable form of entertainment while becoming increasingly attractive to young people. My aim in this paper was to identify risk factors, protective factors in gambling addiction in adolescents, and prevention methods for this type of addiction. With the help of data obtained from studies and specialized literature, I was able to highlight the most important features of this addiction among teenagers. Male sex, young age, alcohol and drug consumption, depression, and poor academic performance were identified as risk factors for gambling. In terms of protective factors, parental supervision, and high socioeconomic status are recognized. Considering that there is a significant prevalence of adolescent gambling and numerous adverse effects associated with it, prevention efforts such as awareness programs and a healthy family environment can be helpful.","PeriodicalId":504804,"journal":{"name":"BRAIN.

The surgeon is next to the dentist, gynecologist and psychiatrist, the doctor to whom the patient turns with the greatest fear. The operative indication and the discussion of therapeutic perspectives can trigger a psycho-emotional imbalance, leading to tomophobia. In fact, it is a complex psychological reaction, including odynophobia (fear of pain), dysmorphophobia (fear of postoperative bodily sequelae), hypnophobia (fear of anesthetic sleep, from which one could not wake up), trypanophobia (fear of injections, needles, scalpel), pantophobia (fear of everything that happens around, in this case, in the hospital environment) and above all, thanatophobia (fear of death). Therefore, it can be stated that the surgical intervention is a test of the psycho-affective capacity. \u0000The paper presents the authors' experience in 20 years (2002-2021), related to the psychological management of surgical patients, subjected to medium or large-scale surgical interventions (75% performed in emergency mode), in 958 patients. \u0000Mental stress can have consequences, both on the reactivity of the surgical patient and on his postoperative evolution. In the time crunch and in the absence of a psychologist, available to offer specific advice on medical objectives, the management of perioperative anxiety rests with the surgeon and the nursing staff.","PeriodicalId":504804,"journal":{"name":"BRAIN.

The sample included 17 participants, patients of a private reproductivehealth and fertility clinic in Iasi, Romania. Patients were interviewed based on a semi-structured interview guide to obtaininformation about the infertility experience, from diagnosis to IVF procedures, regardless of the therapeutic approach.The data was enriched through observation notes. The data obtained were analyzed from a qualitative perspective, with aphenomenological approach, to describe and interpret the experience of infertility from the patient's perspective tounderstand and deepen the diagnosis's effect on personal, social and couple life. Six theme clusters emerged from thecollected data related to the perceived definition of maternity, the personal infertility story, the array of identifiedemotions, couple dynamics, perceived social support and coping strategies.
