“…This systematic review is the first to investigate the prevalence of CMD in Libya, a Middle East and North African (MENA) nation which has suffered from ongoing conflict and political unrest since February 2011 [37]. It was also noticeable that most of the research was conducted in Urban settings across three major cities in Libya; Benghazi [23,25,27], Sebha city [26,33,34] and Tripoli [35,36] which could be due to lack of mental health service provision within rural settings.…”

Introduction There has been a global increase in the prevalence of common mental disorders (CMD), particularly in conflict hotspots. The limited amount of resources is one of the key barriers to effective treatment within Low- and Middle-income countries (LAMICs). The lack of service provision for mental health disorders in LAMICs has resulted in limited opportunities to conduct mental health research. Libya is a North African country that has suffered from ongoing conflict with the current political unrest in Libya further impacting the mental health of the population. Main text The aim of this review is to conduct a synthesis of evidence regarding the estimated prevalence and associated risk factors of CMD in Libya. A search was completed in the academic databases; PubMed, Medline, EMBASE, PsychINFO, CINHAL, and the Institute for Development, Research, Advocacy and Applied Care (IDRAAC) from inception to March 2020. Only studies that investigated prevalence and associated risk factors of CMD in Libya were included. A total of 219 studies were identified of which 15 met the inclusion criteria for the review. There were (n = 3) papers investigated the prevalence of depression, (n = 4) studies were focused on stress-related disorders and the remaining papers looked at both anxiety and depression. Statistically, sample sizes of the included studies ranged from (n = 41–13,031) for the prevalence studies (mean = 1188.6, median = 233). Conclusion The status of Libya as a conflict hotspot has led to a reduced level of epidemiological data on mental health, with a vital need to conduct research in CMD. Libya requires better clinical governance which can allow for more scientific research into CMD and enabling the Libyan government to develop evidence-based policy initiatives for CMD.

“…The results of this study showed that the symptoms of depression in the subjects were decreased after the orthodontic intervention. Studies have also highlighted the existence of degrees of depression in the problems of periodontal [ 21 ] [ 22 ]. Topcuoglu et al, conclude that the extraoral appliance therapy has negative effects on the mental health of individuals, and their levels of depression and anxiety are increased [ 23 ].…”

AIM:Physical health especially oral and dental health can play a leading role in individuals’ mental health status. Therefore, determining the relationship between orthodontics, mental health, and body image can provide solutions for the development of treatment services and provision of greater accessibility of communities to them.METHODS:The present study was natural experimental research conducted to determine the relationship between orthodontic treatment, mental health, and body image. To conduct this research, individuals referring to orthodontic clinics in the city of Kermanshah and meeting the inclusion criteria in the study were selected using convenience sampling method and then they were assessed before and after undergoing orthodontics via the standardised Goldberg’s General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) and Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ).RESULTS:The mean scores of mental health problems in the study participants reduced and such a difference calculated by Wilcoxon signed-rank test with a 95% confidence level was significant (P = 0.001). Moreover, all the subscales of GHQ in the study participants showed a significant decrease after orthodontics compared to the stage before that (P < 0.05). The mean score of MBSRQ before orthodontics was equal to 171.78 and this value reached 172.51 after that, indicating individuals’ increased scores and their high levels of satisfaction with their body image. Nevertheless, the given difference was trivial, and it was not statistically significant (P = 0.751).CONCLUSIONS:The results of the present study showed that orthodontic treatment could significantly increase mental health status in the clients and also improve multidimensional attitudes towards body image.

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] The association between periodontal status and psychiatric status has been debated. Although some studies suggest an association between periodontal status and psychiatric status, [7][8][9] others do not. [4][5][6] Increased rates of dental caries and tooth loss can be explained by drug-induced xerostomia associated with antipsychotics, antidepressants, and mood stabilizers.…”

Palavras-chave: Depressão. Cárie Dentária. Saúde Mental. Doença Periodontal. Fumar.RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar o estado de saúde oral e dentária de uma população de pacientes com história de problemas de saúde mental. Conhecimento Prévio: Indivíduos com problemas de saúde mental só mais suscetíveis a doença oral relacionada a hygiene oral deficient, mudanças de comportamento, efeitos de medicações, e doenças sistêmicas. Saúde mental e oral afetam reciprocamente uma à outra. Problemas de saúde mental foram associados com falta de cuidado pessoal, boca seca, chance aumentada de uso de substâncias ilícitas, e risco aumentado de infecção oral. De forma semelhante, problemas de saúde oral afetam negativamente saúde mental. Halitose, cárie, perda de dentes, e problemas de fala podem agravar o estado de saúde mental relacionado com auto-estima e ansiedade. Métodos: The Dental Registry and DNA Repository (DRDR) da Faculdade de Medicina Dental da Universidade de Pittsburgh foi analisado na avaliação de pacientes com história de doença mental. Um total de 6.015 fichas de pacientes estava disponível no DRDR no momento dessa análise. Dessas, 1.068 eram fichas de pacientes com um problema mental. Prevalência de cárie, periodontite, atrição, edentulismo parcial e total, xerostomia, erosão, gengivite, disordem da articulação temporomandibular (TMD), e úlceras foram determinadas e comparadas com o resto do registro (N=4.947). Sexo e etnia foram também analisados. O teste to qui-quadrado com significância de 5% foi usado. Resultados: Dos 6.015 pacientes, 1.068 relataram história de problema de saúde mental. 59.2% reportou ter depressão, 16.7% ansiedade, 13.3% doença bipolar, 3.6% esquizofrenia, 2.3% transtorno de estresse póstraumático (PTSD), e 2.3% problemas de alimentação. Doença mental estava significativamente associada com edentulismo parcial e total, cárie, atrição, xerostomia, erosão, TMD, ulceração, e gengivite. Doença mental também for significativamente associada com o sexo feminino e etinia branca. Conclusões: Problemas mentais signifcativamente afetam a saúde oral. Pessoas com problemas de saúde mental parecem ter risco aumentado à cárie, atrição, erosão, edentulismo, xerostomia, inflamcação das gengivas, e TMD. Esses resultados poderão ajudar a direcionar medidas de prevenção e tratamento dessas pessoas.
