However, few cases have been described, due to the absence of screening protocols and treatment guidelines. The aim of the current study was to evaluate muscle dysmorphia symptomatology, through an integrative psychological assessment, in two young women bodybuilders. In the first case study, we will focus on Mrs. I., who practices recreational bodybuilding, suffers from muscle dysmorphia with a form of eating disorder, and uses illegal APEDs. For the second case study, we will focus on Mrs L., who suffers from muscle dysmorphia, but with a predominant form of body dysmorphic disorder. The two case studies provided a nuanced view of muscle dysmorphia symptomatology, leading to a better understanding of this pathology and its comorbidities, particularly in relation to eating disorders, body dysmorphic disorders and pathological exercise. Our study highlights the importance of an integrative psychological assessment of muscle dysmorphia and shows the interest of using a pluri-modal approach in its diagnostic, whether for the field of psychopathology or sports psychology.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":74594,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatry research case reports","volume":"3 1","pages":"Article 100212"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2773021224000087/pdfft?md5=b4fe32060f61e846532ac043c08d816c&pid=1-s2.0-S2773021224000087-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140281182","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}

Despite the rising number of studies supporting mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) for the treatment of PTSD, literature on mindfulness and dissociation remains scarce and discording. While best practices for offering mindfulness for dissociative patients remain unclear, integrating choice points into MBIs may be aligned with trauma-informed principles and effective in countering loss of self-agency associated with trauma. In this article, we present a case study from a larger randomized controlled trial of an individual with PTSD-D who successfully completed an 8-week MBI while displaying active dissociation symptoms throughout the group. Follow-up interviews with stakeholders in the patient's care as well as pre-and post-intervention assessments indicate that the patient had a positive experience with the mindfulness training and improved self-regulation. Analysis of the case study suggests that the mindfulness training may have been safe and effective for this patient due to the integration of choice points throughout the mindfulness training and promotion of structural safety. We expand on this by further discussing six influencing factors that contributed to the outcome of the case study and can serve as a reference for clinicians, researchers, and instructors who wish to offer MBIs safely to patients with PTSD-D.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":74594,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatry research case reports","volume":"3 1","pages":"Article 100218"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2773021224000142/pdfft?md5=49386426d9c0d34d741ef6b5a9fa73d1&pid=1-s2.0-S2773021224000142-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140104183","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 clear understanding of the presentation and treatment of SO-OCD in LGBTQ+ individuals is an essential first step to affirmative care. Therefore, we presented a case example of a lesbian cisgender woman (Danielle [pseudonym]) describing her experience with SO-OCD, doubting her sexuality, and wondering “Am I actually attracted to men?” In this case example, we illustrated how Danielle's comfort and stability in her sexual identity prior to the onset of her SO-OCD symptoms helped rule out sexual orientation questioning or internalized homophobia.

We aim to present a case of menopause-associated psychosis and also conduct a literature review emphasizing the pathophysiology hypotheses and management particularities. We present a case of a 51-years-old woman who had her first episode of psychosis at menopausal transition period, with the need of hospitalization for stabilization and further etiologic study. Beyond the psychotic symptoms, she experienced several menopause-associated symptoms that caused incapacity. She became stabilized with paliperidone 9 mg/day, olanzapine 2.5 mg/day and lorazepam 2.5 mg/day but did not return to her premorbid functioning. Months later she developed depressive and cognitive symptoms, in relation to negative symptoms and antipsychotics side-effects, which improved after the switch to cariprazine 4.5 mg/day. Postmenopausal women represent an especially vulnerable group for psychosis and the side effects associated with antipsychotic treatment. Therefore, antipsychotics with elevated risk for extra-pyramidal side-effects should be avoided or used with caution and augmentation with selective estrogen-receptor modulators might be a valuable choice for eligible patients. The understanding of underlining mechanisms involved and potential additional risk factors for menopause-associated psychosis is essential for the prevention and early treatment and can promote advances in etiologic theories, treatment approaches, and overall women's health. Furthermore, there is a need for guidelines that provide a concise and precise description of experimental evidence and support for clinical practices. This should include prescribing information that takes hormone levels into account and clinical trials with postmenopausal women. Further studies in psychosis should start investigating and aggregating data according not only to sex, but also to hormonal status.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":74594,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatry research case reports","volume":"3 1","pages":"Article 100210"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2773021224000063/pdfft?md5=ae936d47ec51a589e21daa69b74344c8&pid=1-s2.0-S2773021224000063-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139726320","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}
