“…18,19 Early diagnosis of PTSD, not only aids in good prognosis but also can prevent suicidal tendencies and decrease the depression levels of the affected patients. 20 Various studies have revealed the incidence of PTSD following trauma to be up to 44% at 3 months posttrauma, compared to 53.85% in our study. 21 This higher difference can be attributed to the fact that most studies on PTSD were done on patients with no obvious cosmetic disfigurement involved.…”

Aim To determine the incidence and severity of Post‐Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in maxillofacial trauma patients and to assess the predisposing factors. Methods and Results Post‐Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) was assessed as per the 5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM‐5) criteria. The PTSD checklist for DSM‐5 (PCL‐5), was used initially to screen patients for PTSD for a provisional diagnosis. These provisionally diagnosed patients were then subjected to a structured interview by a Clinician Administered PTSD Scale for DSM‐5 (CAPS‐5). The PTSD status outcome of PCL‐5 and CAPS‐5 were correlated. PTSD was compared among patients with different types of facial fractures/injuries and also compared based on their anatomic location. The reliability of PCL‐5 scale in relation to the structured CAPS‐5 was assessed and the specificity was found to be 71.4%. Patients with both aesthetic and functional deformity exhibited greater severity of injury and showed higher incidence of PTSD with higher conversion rate from the 1st month to 3rd month. The frequency of PTSD in deformities with higher severity like zygomaticomaxillary complex injuries was found to be statistically significant. Conclusion A high incidence of PTSD is associated with maxillofacial trauma and early detection is essential.

The present study examined the prevalence rate of depression and anxiety among college students living in a disaster-prone area of Aceh, Indonesia. College students enrolled in two public Universities in Banda Aceh were randomly selected to participate in the self-administered standardized questionnaires for depression and anxiety. The prevalence rates of depression and anxiety were 18.8% and 27.4%, respectively. Depression was associated with gender and BMI while anxiety was only associated with gender. Depression is also positively correlated to anxiety. Depression and anxiety are prevalent among college students living in a disaster prone area. Early detection and timely treatment of mental disorders should be beneficial to the students living in this circumference.

“…Depression has a positive effect on suicidal ideation among PLWHA, and the effect size was the largest among the psychological factors, which is consistent with previous research among college students and which also proved to be applicable to PLWHA. 21 The social support and coping strategies could indirectly influence suicidal ideation by depression which confirmed the importance of depression on suicidal ideation.…”

IntroductionPeople living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) have a higher rate of suicide compared to the general population. Psychosocial factors closely correlate with suicidal ideation and it is essential to explain the relationships between related factors among PLWHA.ObjectivesTo establish a structural equation model and examine direct and indirect effects of social support, coping strategy, depression symptoms and suicidal ideation among PLWHA.Patients and methodsA total of 504 PLWHA completed a set of questionnaires in the HIV clinic of Changsha Infectious Disease Hospital between December 2015 and January 2016.ResultsAmong the 504 respondents, a total of 27.2% (n=137) had experienced suicidal ideation in their lifetime. The goodness of fit for the two structural equations model was highly satisfactory. Depression symptoms had a significant direct impact on suicidal ideation (β1=0.401, β2=0.422), while problem-focused coping (β=−0.067), emotion-focused coping (β=−0.081) and social support (β=−0.137) had a significant indirect effect with suicidal ideation via depression symptoms. Factors of total effects were ranked from large to small as follows: depression, social support, emotion-focused coping and problem-focused coping.ConclusionFindings provide more understanding of direct and indirect associations between variables, suggesting that depression screening services, and the strengthening of social support and psychological care services among PLWHA can potentially prevent suicide.
