“…Hypericum perforatum (St. John's Wort) is a plant with commercial standardized extracts, which is widely used for its antidepressant properties and is very popular with the public. Since it can interact with many drugs, it is a plant that should be used under the control of a doctor, like many other medicinal plants (Allameh & Orsat, 2022). Foeniculum vulgare (fennel) plant, which was also mentioned in the research and has medical importance, also contains many active components.…”

Accessible summary What is known on the subject? Medicinal plants are a part of everyday life. Medicinal plants have many effects on the lives of individuals diagnosed with mental illness. What the paper adds to existing knowledge? Since there is no qualitative study in which individuals diagnosed with mental illness provided a detailed explanation of their views about the use of medicinal plants, this study will fill a gap in the literature and guide mental health nurses. This study provides information for mental health nurses about how individuals diagnosed with mental illness evaluate medicinal plants, what it means to them and the effects of medicinal plants. It provides ideas about the use of medicinal plants as a tool to protect and improve mental health. In addition, since the majority of the studies on mental illnesses and medicinal plants are quantitative studies, it was thought that this study was different from the seminal studies in the literature and could offer new ideas for future studies. What are the implications for practice? The results of this study show mental health nurses that the positive aspects of medicinal plants can be used to maintain and improve the mental health of individuals diagnosed with mental illness. Mental health nurses should evaluate the treatment and maintenance process in detail, considering that medicinal plants may interact with drug treatment or the risks of using medicinal plants in terms of adverse effects. Moreover, mental health nurses should fight against the negative aspects of medicinal plants. Mental health nurses and individuals diagnosed with mental illness should be made aware of the use of medicinal plants. Abstract Aim There was no qualitative study found in which individuals diagnosed with mental illness explained their views in detail about the use of medicinal plants. It is therefore thought that this study will fill this gap in the literature and guide mental health nurses in the field. The research was carried out to determine the use of medicinal plants by individuals diagnosed with mental illness. Method This research was a qualitative study conducted using the case study design. Ten individuals diagnosed with mental illness for at least 10 years, determined by the purposeful sampling method were interviewed. The data were collected between March and April 2022 with information form and semi‐structured interview form and analysed with the content analysis method. Findings Four of the participants had depression, four had anxiety and two had mood disorders. Themes were determined to be a source of healing (ointment for the soul, body tonic and organic and nature's miracles) and cultural accumulation (faith and inheritance, counselling helpline). Conclusion Participants described medicinal plants as a source of healing, stating that medicinal plants are good for bodily and mental health and provide purification. Individuals stated that the information about medicinal plants represents cultural accumulation as an inheritance, they applied...

Amaç: Anksiyete ve uyku bozuklukları ülkemizde ve dünyada son yıllarda giderek yaygınlaşan psikiyatrik hastalıklardandır. Anksiyete ve uyku bozukluğu olan bireyler hastalıklarının esas tedavisi olan farmakoterapi ve psikoterapiye ek olarak farklı tamamlayıcı tedavi arayışlarına yönelmektedir. Bu tamamlayıcı tedavi yöntemleri arasında en sık başvurulan kaynakların tıbbi bitkiler olduğu kaçınılmaz bir gerçektir. Fakat bu ürünlerin “yan etkisi daha az/daha zararsız/daha etkili” olabileceği düşüncesi gözden geçirilmesi gereken önemli bir konudur. Bu derlemede anksiyete ve uyku bozukluklarında kullanılan tıbbi bitkilerin PubMed, Science Direct, Google Akademik, BioMed Central, TÜBİTAK Ulakbim veri tabanlarında detaylı bir literatür taraması ile belirlenmesi, en sık kullanılanlarının ise hastalıklar üzerindeki potansiyel etki mekanizmalarının incelenmesi ve olumlu/olumsuz etkilerinin ortaya konması amaçlanmıştır. Sonuç ve Tartışma: Literatürdeki çalışmalar değerlendirildiğinde; anksiyete ve uyku bozukluklarında kullanılan tıbbi bitkilerin fazlalığına rağmen birçoğunun potansiyel etki mekanizması ve olumlu/olumsuz etkileri tam olarak ortaya konmamıştır. Bu bitkilerin yanlış ve bilinçsizce kullanımı hastalığın seyrinin kötüleşmesine yol açabileceğinden anksiyete ve uyku bozukluklarında kullanılan tıbbi bitkilerin incelendiği daha fazla araştırmaya ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.

“…Combination therapy or the use of complementary and alternative medicine, such as psychopharmacotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and herbal medicine, is currently of particular interest. Several medicinal plants have been identified and their effective components have been isolated and characterized as having cellular and molecular targets for the central nervous system (CNS) (Allameh & Orsat, 2022).…”

Anxiety and depression cause alterations in the physiology of an organism. Extracts from the leaves of several Passiflora species are traditionally used Peru and in many countries as anxiolytic and in treatment for inflammatory problems. This study aimed to determine the neuropharmacological effect of the ethanolic extract of Passiflora tripartita var. mollissima (Kunth) Holm-Niels. & P.Jørg. and its anxiolytic effect on mouse (Mus musculus var. albinus). Anxiety was evaluated with the marble burying test and the depressant effect with the Irwin test (locomotor activity, base of support, wobbly gait, immobility, escape, ease of handling, muscular strength, tight rope, inclined plane, catatonia, nociceptive reflex and death). Doses of 100 mg/Kg/body weight and 200 mg/kg/body weight by intraperitoneal route (i.p.) significantly decreased anxiety levels (p<0.05) in mice, and had a non-significant depressant effect in 11 of the 12 tests, showing a similar direction of correlation between diazepam and Passiflora extract effect. A greater anxiolytic and anti-depressant effects in mice was observed with the extract dose of 200 mg/kg/body weight with neuropharmacological manifestations found where no death was observed at any dose used.
