“…Psychoeducation is an intervention strategy based on providing patients and/or relatives with information about the disorder to enhance their understanding and enable early identification of warning signs and mood changes, improving treatment adherence [47]. In a review, Rabelo et al [48] showed positive effects of the psychoeducational intervention on both patients and family members in bipolar disorders. According to the authors, psychoeducation as an adjunct strategy to pharmacotherapy leads to a reduction in the frequency of new mood episodes, length of hospital stay, and adherence to drug therapy.…”

Purpose of review Displaced persons around the world have intensified in the previous decade and are predicted to rise further with greater global instability. The mental health issues involved with fleeing one's home, and attempting to make a new life in a host country need to be understood and addressed- Recent findings Prevalence of anxiety and mood disorders, including posttraumatic stress disorder appear to be higher for displaced peoples than for the population in the host country. This is consistent across different methods. Traumatic life events in the country of origin as well as during flight contribute to symptom severity. Factors in the host country increasing severity including isolation, discrimination, low social support. There are successfully implemented intercultural interventions at the individual level of the practitioner, as well as at the institutional level. Summary There are many possibilities for successful interventions in displaced people, realizing this at a scale appropriate to the size of the problem remains a challenge.

“…Several studies revealed that psychoeducation is more helpful among patients with manic symptoms of BD. As these patients learn early features of manic episodes, substantial improvements are achieved in socialization and employment [120][121][122]. Psychoeducation combines cognitive-behavioral therapy, group therapy, and education intervention [123,124].…”

Bipolar affective disorder includes Bipolar Disease (BD) and Bipolar Spectrum Disorder (BSD). The prevalence of BSD, BD-I, BD-II, and subthreshold BD globally is estimated to be about 3.1%, 1.5%,0.03%, and 1.6%, respectively. BD is a multidimensional disease that exhibits a range of moods of mania, hypomania, and depression. The disease is chronic, complex, and fatal, with a high possibility of reappearance, infirmity, social incompetence, and felo-de-se. Managing emotional disruption, negative neuropsychology, physiology, and immunology is a challenge. This review focuses on therapeutic benefits, adverse drug reactions, and pharmacological intervention for BD and BSD, in particular lithium. Long-term management of BD with a single medication is ineffective and therefore, not recommended. It is advised to use multiple agents for treatment instead. Medications include mood stabilizers (lithium and anticonvulsants), atypical antipsychotics, and antidepressants. Along with medication provision, psychotherapy is of great significance for BD patients. The review was conducted on recent available scientific literature through the electronic database like Embase, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and PubMed using keywords like ‘Bipolar Disease,’ ‘Bipolar Disease Therapeutics,’ ‘Bipolar Disease and Psychotherapy’ to highlight the possible effective means of management of this disease of mood instability.

“…Psychoeducational interventions are an intervention strategy that combines psychological counseling and education to provide patients and/or family caregivers with education in relevant subject areas to enhance their understanding and support, learn to recognize warning signs and mood changes early, and improve treatment compliance [ 26 , 27 ]. Psychoeducational interventions that provide information, education, and psychological support to patients and/or their informal caregivers, such as gynaecological cancer [28] , adolescent hyperactivity [29] , and stroke [30] , are effective and have been systematically assessed.…”

Objective To examine the effectiveness of psychoeducational interventions on depression, anxiety, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) for people undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). Methods This review used systematic review and meta-analysis as the research design. Nine databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL Complete, Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang, VIP, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, were searched from the inception to the 8th of July 2023. Two reviewers independently identified randomized controlled trials (RCT) examining the effects of psychoeducational interventions on MHD patients. Results Fourteen studies involving 1134 MHD patients were included in this review. The results of meta-analyses showed that psychoeducational intervention had significant short-term (< 1 m) (SMD: −0.87, 95% CI: −1.54 to −0.20, p = 0.01, I 2 = 91%; 481 participants), and medium-term (1–3 m) (SMD: −0.29, 95% CI: −0.50 to −0.08, p = 0.01, I 2 = 49%; 358 participants) on anxiety in MHD patients, but the effects could not be sustained at longer follow-ups. Psychoeducational interventions can also have short-term (< 1 m) (SMD: −0.65, 95% CI: −0.91 to −0.38, p < 0.00001, I 2 = 65%; 711 participants) and medium-term (1–3 m) (SMD: −0.42, 95% CI: −0.76 to −0.09, p = 0.01, I 2 = 69%; 489 participants) effects in reducing depression levels in MHD patients. Psychoeducational interventions that use coping strategies, goal setting, and relaxation techniques could enhance the QOL in MHD patients in the short term (< 1 m) (SMD: 0.86, 95% CI: 0.42 to 1.30, p = 0.02, I 2 = 86%; 241 participants). Conclusions Psychoeducational interventions have shown great potential to improve anxiety, depression, and quality of life in patients with MHD at the short- and medium-term follow-ups. Trial registration number: CRD42023440561.
