“…The Para ventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus releases corticotrophinreleasing hormone in response to threat signals from brain regions such as the amygdala (12) . Cortisol has widespread effects throughout the body and brain, and passes through the bloodbrain barrier to down regulate HPA axis activity by triggering negative feedback mechanisms, thereby inhibiting its own production, and it also acts at glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptors in limbic brain regions such as the amygdala and hippocampus to modulate learning and memory (13) . Cortisol level variation in disruptive aggressive behaviors: Results concerning cortisol levels or cortisol response to stress in aggressive children are not without ambiguity, while the majority of studies have reported an association of low basal HPA axis activity with high aggressive and disruptive symptom levels (14) .…”

Aggression is a behavior whose primary or sole purpose or function is to injure physically or psychologically. Aim and objectives: To demonstrate that high cortisol level in relation with the comorbidity of substance abuse and the duration of abuse in the conduct group. Patients and methods: This study was conducted on 50 aggressive patients with disruptive aggressive behaviors, attending the adolescent outpatient clinic at Alabbassia Mental hospital, who in turn divided into two groups one of conduct disorder and the other of Oppositional Defiant disorder and 25 resembling the control group during the period from March 2019 to February 2020. Results: Patients with conduct disorder showed statistically significant difference between the cortisol level and the comorbidity of substance abuse and the duration of abuse (by years) (P<0.05). While in the ODD group, there was statistically significant difference between the cortisol level and the gender and the age of the adolescent (P<0.05). Conclusion: Cortisol level is higher in the disruptive aggressive adolescents than that of the control group participating in the current study, moreover it was higher in those with conduct than ODD groups. It was demonstrated that high cortisol level in relation with the comorbidity of substance abuse and the duration of abuse in the conduct group.

Introduction Perceived social support refers to the subjective assessment of the extent to which an individual feels supported by others. It is a crucial factor that affects a person's mental health, as well as poor self-esteem, which is a common psychiatric complaint correlated with low perceived social support. As the field expands, a better understanding of the correlation between these factors and mental health is important. Aim This study aimed to investigate the relationship between perceived social support, self-esteem, and well-being among the general population of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Subjects and methods This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among the general population in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed among the targeted population using an online survey. The survey comprised 39 questions, including a validated Arabic version of the Perceived Social Support (PSS) scale, a validated Arabic version of the Self-Esteem Scale, and the Well-Being Scale. Results Of the 405 surveyed participants, 277 (68.4%) were female, and 217 (53.6%) were between 18 and 25 years old. A total of 254 (62.7%) had high PSS. However, 328 (81.0%) had low self-esteem, and 236 (58.3%) had poor well-being. There was a significant association between PSS and both self-esteem and well-being. Females, those with higher monthly incomes, and those with good well-being were less likely to have low to moderate PSS levels. Additionally, being married and engaging in physical activity were significant predictors of low self-esteem. Conclusion Although most of the population demonstrated high PSS, the results for self-esteem and well-being were less than desired. PSS significantly influenced psychological well-being but not self-esteem. Further evidence suggests that male participants with lower monthly incomes may need more social support than others. More research is needed to determine the influence of PSS on self-esteem and well-being among the general population in this region.
