“…Several studies showed women who use MA had higher rates of depression than men who use MA (Glasner-Edwards et al, 2008, Hellem et al, 2015). A recent two-year longitudinal study on Hong Kong Chinese students found that girls reported a significant increase in mean depression at a level that was higher than what was found for boys (Ho, Dai, Mak, & Liu, 2018).…”

Background/Objective Previous studies have shown that childhood abuse is associated with symptoms of depression. This study aims to examine the prevalence of childhood abuse or neglect and its correlation with depression among a sample of Chinese people who use methamphetamine. Method People who use methamphetamine (MA) ( N = 1,173) were recruited from government-operated drug rehabilitation centres in Anhui province, China. Participants were assessed using the short form of Childhood Trauma Questionnaire and the Beck Depression Inventory-II for childhood abuse or neglect and depression symptoms. Results A total of 44.6% of people who use MA reported moderate/severe childhood abuse or neglect, and 56.9% of this sample were diagnosed with depression. Emotional abuse, sexual abuse, emotional neglect and physical neglect were revealed to increase the risk of depression. Multivariable regression analyses showed that depression scores were significantly predicted by gender, duration of drug use, sexual abuse and emotional neglect (model R 2 = .08, p < .001). The interaction between emotional neglect and duration of drug use on the depression was statistically significant. Conclusions These analyses indicate that sexual abuse and emotional neglect increase the severity of depression in individuals who use MA in drug rehabilitation centres of China.

“…First, the absence or little introspection of minors regarding obsessions and compulsions hinders their involvement in treatment and motivation for change (Bornas et al, 2017, Chou et al, 2017). Second, high levels of distress, anxiety and conflict have been observed in relatives of children with OCD (Ho et al, 2018, Peris et al, 2012). Third, behavioral family accommodation can have important implications in the course and maintenance of a child's OCD (Lebowitz, 2016, Wu and Storch, 2016).…”

() Background/Objective The aim of this paper was to evaluate the diferential efficacy of cognitive behavioral family treatment in children under 8 years of age with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in the reduction of obsessive-compulsive responses and secondary outcomes in three treatment conditions: (a) Treatment of parents and child, (b) Treatment of mother and child, and (c) Treatment of mother. Method Forty-four children with obsessive-compulsive disorder, aged 5.2-7.9 years old and their parents, were randomized to one of three groups in a 1:1:1 ratio. Seventy-five percent was male and 100% Caucasian (White-European). Treatment involved 12 individual sessions of is Cognitive-Behavioral Family-Based Treatment delivered. Results The three conditions produced clinical improvements in post-test and follow-up in the primary (symptom severity OCD) and secondary outcomes. The results showed no intergroup differences in variables related to OCD symptom severity, although statistically significant differences were found in groups in Internalizing and Externalizing problem, mother and fathers accomodation. Conclusions The most efficient condition was that including a greater number of family members even when there was high family accommodation. The direct involvement of the child in the psychological treatment was important in achieving better results.

“…The researchers have found that the high negativity in personal and social aspects creates anxiety sensitivity as it may have physiological, psychological, and social consequences (Ho, Dai, Mak, & Liu 2018). This anxiety sensitivity in turn creates anxiety and depression (Hayward, Killen, Kraemer, and Taylor, 2000).…”

This study was aimed at analyzing the levels of suicide intention in the secondary school students of Pakistan. To collect data, the tool was developed with 23 items to represent the three-dimension i.e. personal aspects, social aspects, and environmental aspects of suicide intention. The tool was validated through different measurement indices and reliability was found out within the threshold values. The data were collected from 384 students of the secondary schools in the Mardan district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The sampling adequacy was confirmed for the sample size. The data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, SEM (structural equation modeling), and AMOS (analysis of a moment structures) to find out the levels for each dimension and the holistic variable. The levels of all the dimensions and variables were found out as high, in terms of negativity. In other words, a high potential risk of suicide was found in the students. Suggestions were made, to educate the parents and society about this potential threat.
