“…In contrast, depressed participants who experienced increased appetite exhibited marked immunometabolic dysregulation, with higher insulin, insulin resistance, leptin, C -reactive protein (CRP), interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA), and IL-6, and lower ghrelin than subjects in other groups, and the magnitude of their insulin resistance correlated positively with the insula response to food cues [45]. Interesting studies related to depression were reported by Jonas et al [46], Kale et al [47], Behere et al [48], Ransingh et al [49], Mishra et al [50][51][52].…”

Background: The onset of Depression is a cause of concern. And various factors have been found to spark off this psychological set back among different groups of people. Aim: This investigation aims to identify various trigger factors causing depression. BECK Depression scale will be the reference to gauge the intensity of depression among psychiatric patients at selected Health care institutions. Objectives: Identifying and determining the type of trigger factors of depression. Materials and Methods: Research design: Descriptive and evaluator approximation. Data Collection would be based on ‘BECK’ depression scale, translated in the vernacular language (Marathi) for its utility. Sampling Technique: Purposive, of the size: 100 participants attending psychiatric OPD primarily diagnosed with depression. Results: Cause factors of depression include: 1) Family history of mental illness, 2) emotional setback: Death or job lay-off, 3) discriminatory and sexual harassment at work place, 4) Chronic medical challenges and 5) Prolonged drug abuse in the view of physical infirmity. Most of the victims evaluated revealed stress in the background, developed pessimistic approach and un-convivial relationship among family members. Conclusion: Chronic infirmity requiring, prolonged medical attention, lack of facilities, cost of the treatment, negligence, are the significant factors affecting the Indian rural community.

“…Thus, an IJPM publication in 2018, examining the prevalence of unrecognized macrocytosis in patients with their first episode of psychosis or depression, bore close similarity to, but did not reference, an earlier IJPM publication which examined the prevalence of Vitamin B12 deficiency in patients presenting with neuropsychiatric symptoms. 7,8 Similarly, an IJPM publication in 2018, examining the prevalence of burnout in Indian psychiatrists, could have cited an earlier IJPM publication which identified compassion fatigue and burnout in Indian clinicians, of whom psychiatrists are a subset. 9,10 The omission of citation of 65%-85% of citation-worthy articles in the IJP and the IJPM is of further concern because the impact factors of journals grow only when articles published in the journals are cited.…”

Background: Despite exponential growth in Indian research, Indian journals have low impact factors. A previous study by one of the authors (CA) of this paper showed that articles published in the Indian Journal of Psychiatry (IJP) under-referenced previously published relevant papers in the same journal. Based on this, we decided to investigate the citation characteristics of contemporary scientific articles published in the Indian Journal of Psychological Medicine (IJPM). Methods: The citation characteristics of scientific articles published in 2018 (Vol 40, issues 1–6) in the IJPM were examined to determine how well the authors cited relevant articles published during the past ten years in the IJPM and the IJP. Results: There were 145 and 142 citation-worthy articles in the IJPM and the IJP, respectively; of these, 85.5% and 65.5%, respectively, had not been cited. Conclusions: Authors publishing in the IJPM under-reference previous relevant research published in the IJPM and IJP. This suggests unawareness of, deliberate disregard of, or even disdain for prior Indian research in the field. Additionally, if Indian researchers do not cite previous Indian research in the field published in Indian journals, the citation metrics of Indian journals will not grow.

“…This was based on the fact that GABA decreased aggression Antidepressants-They are used because it was found out that serotonin deficiency leads to disturbed circadian rhythm, depression and increase in aggressive behaviour. Patients with dementia often show visible confusion, anxiety, beavourial outbursts, thus the use of antidepressants [17][18][19][20].…”

Dementia is a cognition decline that interferes with daily life functions. It is a syndrome cause of dementia is neurological and some medical conditions. Sometimes other diseases can contribute to dementia. Dementias of the neurodegenerative kind are common in adults, while injury to brain and brain tumors are common in students. In recent years, there have been advancements in neuroimaging and the correlation of clinics with pathology, and in the development of biomarkers, doctors still await modifying therapies for neurodegenerative dichasia. There have been only a few articles on dementia within the IJP. Most of the patients found are above the age of 60. Therefore, community-based interventions for the management of diseases like dementia are essential. The effectiveness of those resolves must be acknowledged. Also, the danger factors for dementia should be identified. It is statically proved that folks will suffer from dementia more within the near future. Thus research during this field is significant for developing service and training. This paper aims to review research published on dementia in people above 40 years. The cases of dementia increase with the increase in age of the person. Dementia makes people more and more dependent on others. Dementia is increasing challenges to our society and healthcare system. Clinical and pathological criteria for the significant dementia-causing diseases overlap significantly. The emergence of symptoms decades into the pathophysiological process hamper targeted disease therapy. A significant number of research initiatives are underway to identify potential biomarkers of disease processes earlier. The association of both overt cognitive decline and underlying pathophysiological processes with normal aging complicates identifying disease processes early within the spectrum of normal aging. Once the diagnosis is established, prognostic measures are required and are still lacking, as disease trajectories between individuals can vary greatly. Globally, governments recognize these challenges. Investment and research infrastructure are beginning to reflect the scale of the need. Drugs conferring symptomatic benefit are available, and memory service structures exist to diagnose dementias and guide management. The personal impact of dementia on patients and families is also increasingly recognized, with discussion in the media surrounding famous sufferers and dramatizations in literature and film. Herein we attempt to describe the current landscape of dementia.
