Level of Anxiety and Dissociation in Patients with Conversion and Dissociative Disorders |
p. 67 |
Vivek Katoch, Harsh Prem Jhingan, Shekhar Saxena
PMID:21743671State Trait Anxiety Inventory and Questionnaire of Experiences of Dissociation were administered to an unbiased sample of sixty patients, including twenty seven patients with dissociative disorder, twenty four with conversion disorder and nine with both these diagnoses, using DSM III criteria. The differences in anxiety scores and level of dissociation among the three diagnostic groups were not statistically significant. The finding that a substantial proportion (15%) of patients had both diagnoses and the lack of difference in levels of anxiety and dissociation in the three groups suggests that these two diagnoses are closely related. |

Electromyograph Feedback : Treatment Outcome in Anxiety Neurosis |
p. 70 |
A Abraham, V Kumaraiah
PMID:21743672Twenty two clients were assessed before and after ten sessions of Electromyograph [EMG] feedback assisted relaxation on both psychological and physiological measures. Results demonstrated significant decreases in the symptom scores and anxiety, as seen on the self-report measures. The clients were found to be significantly less anxious on the Hamilton's Anxiety Rating Scale. Though there was a significant reduction in resting EMG levels, there was no significant decrease in the GSR of the clients. Clients could acquire feedback control as well as self-control. |

The Correlates of the Syndrome of Depression in Schizophrenia |
p. 74 |
Anna Tharyan, K Kuruvilla
PMID:21743673A depressive syndrome as identified by subjectively volunteered dysphoria occurred in 17.4% of a group of 45 DSM III-R schizophrenics, studied initially in a medication free state. Among the 24 patients who could be followed up for six months, another 25% developed depressive symptoms while on treatment. Mild depressive syndromes occurred more frequently in older patients, in association with retained insiglu and lower negative symptoms scores. While depressive symptoms occurred both in the medicated and unmedicated state, depressed medicated schizophrenics differed from non-depressed medicated schizophrenics on variables of total medication dosage, presence of extrapyramidal symptoms and insight. |

Development of Motivation Scale - Clinical Validation with Alcohol Dependents |
p. 79 |
Teresa Neeliyara, S.V Nagalakshmi
PMID:21743674This study focusses on the development of a comprehensive multi-dimensional scale for assessing motivation for change in the alcohol dependent population. After establishing face validity, the items evolved were administered to a normal sample of 600 male subjects in whom psychiatric illness was ruled out. The data thus obtained was subjected to factor analysis. Six factors were obtained which accounted for 55.2% of variance. These together formed a 80 item five point scale and norms were established on a sample of 600 normal subjects. Further clinical validation was established on 30 alcohol dependent subjects and 30 normals. The status of motivation was found to be inadequate in alcohol dependent individuals as compared to the normals. Split-half reliability was carried out and the tool was found to be highly reliable. |

Acute Psychotic Disorder and Hypoglycemia |
p. 93 |
SK Singh, JK Agrawal, AS Srivastava, VK Bhardwaj, Sarat B Bose
PMID:21743678A variable array of neuroglycopenic symptoms are frequently encountered in the hypoglycemic stage, but acute psychotic disorders are quite rare. A fifty five year old female presented with an acute psychosis following oral sulfonylurea induced hypoglycemia without preceding features of adrenomedullary stimulation. This case report suggests that an acute and transient psychotic disorder may be an important neuroglycopenic feature and its early recognition protects the patient from severe hypoglycemic brain damage in a state of hypoglycemia unawareness. |
