“…Показано, что курс арт-терапии при различных соматических заболеваниях приводил к снижению депрессии и тревожности, уменьшал выраженность стресса, связанного с хроническим заболеванием [9,11,12]. При РС наличие нейропсихологических нарушений, особенно тревоги и депрессии, в том числе связанных с наличием хронического инвалидизирующего заболевания («реакция на болезнь») и беспокойством за свое будущее, сильно влияют на показатели КЖ, особенно психологического компонента и ролевых функций [13].…”

Objective: to study the effectiveness of art therapy methods in the complex treatment of neuropsychological disorders and quality of life improvement in patients with relapsing-remitting and secondary-progressive multiple sclerosis (MS).Patients and methods. A group of 42 patients (5 men and 37 women, mean age 32.9 years, mean EDSS severity 3.8 points) with MS underwent outpatient continuous active art therapy cycle. The mean group training cycle duration was six months. The comparison group included 15 age- and sex-adjusted individuals without neurological disorders. Tests on various drawing topics were carried out before and after a three-month therapy course. We used Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) to assess the severity of anxiety and depression and the SF-36 scale to evaluate the quality of life (QoL).Results and discussion. Before the art therapy start, light blue, yellow, pink, blue, and green colors prevailed in the drawings. There was no predominance of any color depending on MS severity or course. The green color predominated in this test in the control group, and the light blue color was significantly less represented. The art therapy course did not lead to a significant change in the severity of MS according to the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS). After the art therapy course, the color scheme of the drawings was mainly represented by red, light blue, green, yellow, and blue colors. In addition, a red-orange color appeared in the drawings, which was completely absent before the course. Positive trends were noted according to HADS: a decrease in anxiety by 23% and depression by 19%. The physical component of QoL assessed by the SF-36 scale did not change substantially, but the psychological component significantly improved by 11%.Conclusion. The predominance of light blue color observed in MS is associated with damage to the nervous and musculoskeletal systems, and blue color – with psychological problems and depression. However, after a course of art therapy for MS, red, red-orange, yellow, and green colors representation increased significantly, which indicates an increase in positive attitude, a decrease in the level of depression, and an improvement in QoL.

“…The role of personality features in worsening the course of somatic disease was considered in observations of patients with diabetes mellitus [85], cardiovascular pathology [86,87], gastroesophageal reflux disease [88]. Another study concluded that more pronounced personality traits contributed to a decrease in quality-of-life in patients with multiple sclerosis (n ¼ 43) [89]. At the same time, a positive impact of personality character on psychological wellbeing was found in patients with Parkinson's disease [90].…”

Purpose of reviewThis article aims to present the current picture on conceptualization, diagnosis and care provision of personality disorders (PD) in modern Russia. These issues are highly relevant to Russian psychiatry, which has a rich historical tradition of analysing psychopathic constitution, personality types and dynamics. Recent findingsThis narrative review covers the main tendencies in the recent Russian academic literature devoted to PD. PD are most frequently investigated in the frames of forensic psychiatry, in which expert conclusions and assessment of the risk factors for socially dangerous behaviour are particularly important. Another area of research concerns comorbidity, since PD often affect other health conditions or are co-occurrent with other mental or behavioural problems. Specialists have also focused on the challenges of therapy in PD. SummaryReviewed manuscripts show a pathogenic and pathoplastic role of personality factors in manifestation of other mental, behavioural or somatic disorders. Analysis of pathocharacterological profile and selfregulation processes is a major component in assessing and diagnosing PD. The principal perspectives in this particular area focus on evidence-based research of mechanisms of personality pathology and validation of targeted personalized combined therapeutic approaches.

“…Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common debilitating disease, the prevalence of which is increasing in both developed and developing countries, while its cause is still unclear ( Dobson and Giovannoni, 2019 ). In its progressive and chronic course, MS disease, by damaging the myelin tissue of the brain and spinal cord, leads to a wide range of neurological symptoms ( Malygin et al, 2019 ) and also affects the physical, mental, and social functioning of patients ( Kotan et al, 2019 ). This disease is more common among women.…”

IntroductionAccording to research, multiple sclerosis is related to suicidal thoughts and pain catastrophizing as psycho-pathological variables, and on the other hand, compassion-based treatment can reduce mental disorders by targeting dimensions such as self-compassion. Also, since this disease is progressive and over time can cause movement restrictions in these people, online psychotherapy can be a better option for these people. So, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of online compassion therapy on suicidal thoughts and pain catastrophizing in female patients with multiple sclerosis.MethodsThe current research was applied and quasi-experimental in a pre-test-post-test manner with a control group. The research sample consisted of 30 patients with multiple sclerosis living in Shiraz in 2019, who were randomly divided into two 15-person experimental and control groups. The participants were tested on scales of suicidal thoughts and pain catastrophizing, and the treatment plan based on compassion therapy was presented to the participants of the experimental group in 8 two-hour sessions online. The control group was placed on the waiting list until the completion of the treatment sessions and the post-test implementation, and after the post-test implementation, they received the treatment. Control variables in this study included gender and disease phase. Then, their scores were measured, after completing the treatment, and a three-month follow-up period. Descriptive statistics and covariance test were used to analyze the data.ResultsPatients showed a clear improvement in the severity of symptoms in both variables. So that the scores of suicidal thoughts and pain catastrophizing in the experimental group after receiving the treatment, as well as after a three-month follow-up period, were significantly reduced (p < 0.001).ConclusionConfirming the effectiveness of online therapy based on compassion on improving psychological outcomes in these patients, as an effective and online treatment method, is a clear step towards continuing the implementation of psychological interventions and paying attention to the dimension of mental health in this group of people.
