Este estudio tuvo como objetivo examinar la relación entre la transición a la menopausia y los trastornos del estado de ánimo, específicamente la ansiedad y la depresión. Se llevó a cabo una revisión narrativa de la literatura relevante sobre la transición a la menopausia y los trastornos del estado de ánimo. Se revisaron estudios que se enfocaron en el impacto de los cambios hormonales durante la menopausia en el bienestar psicológico y se evaluaron diversas opciones de tratamiento para los trastornos del estado de ánimo. La disminución de los niveles hormonales de estrógenos y progesterona durante la menopausia puede llevar a diversos cambios psicológicos, como ansiedad y depresión. La terapia hormonal con estrógenos solo o en combinación con progesterona puede mejorar los síntomas depresivos en mujeres en la menopausia, pero este tratamiento no está exento de riesgos. Otros tratamientos no hormonales, como la terapia cognitivo-conductual, el ejercicio y una buena higiene del sueño, también pueden ser efectivos para manejar los trastornos del estado de ánimo. Se concluyó que existe una compleja interacción entre factores hormonales, biológicos y psicosociales para desarrollar intervenciones efectivas que mejoren el bienestar psicológico de las mujeres en la menopausia.
This study aimed to examine the relationship between menopause transition and mood disorders, specifically anxiety and depression. The authors conducted a narrative review of relevant literature on menopause transition and mood disorders. They reviewed studies that focused on the impact of hormonal changes during menopause on psychological well-being and evaluated various treatment options for mood disorders. The decline in estrogen and progesterone hormone levels during menopause can lead to various psychological changes, such as anxiety and depression. Hormonal therapy with estrogen alone or in combination with progesterone can improve depressive symptoms in menopausal women, but this treatment is not without risks. Other non-hormonal treatments, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, exercise, and good sleep hygiene, can also be effective in managing mood disorders. The study highlights the need for recognition of the complex interplay between hormonal, biological, and psychosocial factors in developing effective interventions to improve the psychological well-being of menopausal women. Further research is needed to fully understand the potential relationship between menopause transition and mood disorders.

O brincar e a vida infantil estão inevitavelmente entrelaçados, havendo inúmeras evidências da ação terapêutica do brinquedo para o desenvolvimento infantil e, consequentemente, para o desenrolar da Psicoterapia Psicodinâmica (PP). Para acessar o brincar de crianças de maneira objetiva durante o percurso da PP, foi desenvolvido o Children's Play Therapy Instrument (CPTI). O objetivo desse estudo foi adaptar para o português o CPTI, assim como realizar um estudo piloto para identificar evidências de validade do instrumento, através da análise de perfis de jogo de psicoterapias de três crianças, uma menina e dois meninos, com oito, sete e oito anos, diagnosticados com transtorno de adaptação, transtorno disruptivo da desregulação do humor e transtorno do espectro autista, nível 1, respectivamente. A versão em português do CPTI apresentou boa equivalência com a original e a fidedignidade interavaliadores foi alta, além de serem encontradas evidências preliminares de validade. O instrumento foi capaz de diferenciar os perfis de jogo de cada criança, descrevendo atividades de jogo condizentes com as psicopatologias analisadas. As possibilidades e limitações de utilização do instrumento foram discutidas. (AU)
Play and childhood are inevitably intertwined, with numerous indications of the therapeutic effects of play on child development and, consequently, on the progress of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (PP). To access children's play during the course of PP, the Children's Play Therapy Instrument (CPTI) was developed. The aim of this study was to adapt the CPTI to Portuguese and to conduct a pilot study to identify validity evidence for the instrument through the analysis of play profiles of psychotherapies involving three children: one girl and two boys, aged eight, seven, and eight, respectively. They were diagnosed with adjustment disorder, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, and autism spectrum disorder level 1. The Portuguese version of the CPTI showed good equivalence to the original, inter-rater reliability was high, and preliminary evidence of validity was found. The instrument was able to differentiate each child's play profiles, describing play activities consistent with the psychopathologies analyzed. The instrument's possibilities and limitations were discussed. (AU)
El juego y la vida de los niños están inevitablemente entrelazados, con numerosas evidencias de la acción terapéutica del juguete para el desarrollo infantil y, en consecuencia, para el desarrollo de la Psicoterapia Psicodinámica (PP).

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo verificar a relação entre eventos traumáticos (ET) na infância e a ocorrência de comportamentos autolesivos em adolescentes. Os instrumentos utilizados foram o Questionário sobre Traumas na Infância (QUESI) e o Inventário de Autolesão Deliberada - reduzido (IAD-r). Participaram 494 estudantes do ensino médio de ambos os sexos e idade entre 15 e 18 anos (M = 16,4). Destes, 58,5% afirmaram ter sofrido abuso emocional de forma recorrente e 19,0% e 59,5% assumiram já ter sofrido abuso sexual e físico, respectivamente. Quanto à prática de autolesão, 65,0% revelaram já ter se engajado em comportamentos autolesivos. De acordo com a análise de Regressão Logística Binomial, todos os tipos de ET exibiram associação significativa com a prática de comportamentos autolesivos. A análise de moderação a respeito da interação entre a ocorrência de ET infantis e a prática de autolesão revelou ausência de moderação pelo sexo e pela idade. Porém, quanto ao abuso físico, o efeito de moderação da idade apresentou significância estatística limítrofe e indicou que os adolescentes mais novos, de 15 e 16 anos, que sofreram este tipo de abuso na infância, foram mais susceptíveis à prática autolesiva. Portanto, as altas taxas de ET e de autolesão encontradas nesta pesquisa revelam a gravidade do problema. Espera-se que esta investigação possa contribuir para a elaboração de intervenções para prevenção e controle dos fatores de risco que acometem a população infanto-juvenil.(AU)
This research aimed to verify the relationship between traumatic events (TE) in childhood and the occurrence of self-injurious behavior in adolescents. The instruments used were the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (QUESI) and the Deliberate Self-Injury Inventory - reduced (IAD-r). The sample was composed of 494 high school students of both genders and aged between 15 and 18 years old (M = 16.4). Of those, 58.5% declared to have suffered recurring emotional abuse and 19.0% declared to have suffered sexual abuse and 59.5% physical abuse. Regarding the practice of self-harm, 65.0% reported having already engaged in self-injurious behaviors. According to the Binomial Logistic Regression analysis, all types of TE were associated with the practice of self-injurious behaviors. The moderation analysis between the occurrence of childhood TE and self-injury showed no moderation by sex or age. However, regarding physical abuse, the moderating effect of age showed borderline statistical significance and indicated that younger adolescents, 15 and 16 years old, who suffered this type of abuse in childhood, were more susceptible to self-injurious behavior. Therefore, the high rates of TE and self-injury found in this research reveal the seriousness of the problem. It is hoped for this investigation to contribute to the development of interventions to prevent and control risk factors that affect children and adolescents.(AU)

Los instrumentos utilizados fueron el Cuestionario de Trauma Infantil (QUESI) y el Inventario de Autolesiones Deliberadas -reducido (IAD-r). Participaron 494 estudiantes de la secundaria, de ambos sexos y con edades entre 15 y 18 años (M = 16,4). De estos, el 58,5% afirmaron haber sufrido maltrato emocional de forma recurrente, el 19,0% dijeron haber sufrido maltrato sexual y el 59,5%, maltrato físico. En cuanto a la práctica de la autolesión, el 65,0% informaron haber realizado conductas autolesivas. El análisis de Regresión Logística Binomial mostró que todos los tipos de ET tuvieron una asociación significativa con la práctica de conductas autolesivas. El análisis de la moderación respecto a la interacción entre la ocurrencia de ET infantil y la práctica de la autolesión reveló una ausencia de moderación por sexo o edad. En cuanto al maltrato físico, el efecto moderador de la edad mostró una significación estadística marginal e indicó que los adolescentes más jóvenes, de 15 y 16 años, que sufrieron este tipo de maltrato en la infancia, son más susceptibles a la práctica de autolesiones. Por lo tanto, las altas tasas de ET y autolesiones encontradas en esta investigación revelan la gravedad del problema. Se espera que esta investigación contribuya con el desarrollo de intervenciones para la prevención y control de los factores de riesgo que afectan a niños y adolescentes.(AU)

OBJECTIVES@#To investigate the differences in non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behaviors between only-child and non-only-child adolescents with mood disorders.@*METHODS@#A three-stage sampling method was used to perform a cross-sectional survey of 529 adolescents, aged 12-18 years, who had mood disorders and NSSI behaviors. These adolescents were sampled from the outpatient service of 20 mental hospitals in 9 provinces of China from August to November 2020. A self-made questionnaire was used to collect general demographic data. The Functional Assessment of Self-Mutilation, Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation, Kessler Psychological Distress Scale, Stress Mindset Measure-General, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Multidimensional Students' Life Satisfaction Scales, and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were used to collect the information on self-injury behaviors and psychological factors in these adolescents.@*RESULTS@#A total of 529 adolescents with mood disorders and NSSI behaviors were surveyed, among whom 375 were only-child adolescents and 154 were non-only-child adolescents. Compared with the non-only-child group, the only-child group had a significantly higher total score of Functional Assessment of Self-Mutilation (P<0.05) .The type and frequency of self-injury in the only-child group were significantly higher than those in the non-only-child group (P<0.05). Psychological analysis showed that compared with the non-only-child group, the only-child group had a significantly lower score of self-esteem (P<0.05) and significantly higher scores of psychological distress and depressive symptoms (P<0.05). The multiple linear regression analysis showed that the score of suicidal ideation was positively correlated with the frequency of NSSI behaviors in both only-child and non-only-child adolescents with mood disorders (P<0.05); in the only-child adolescents, the level of self-esteem was negatively correlated with the frequency of NSSI behaviors (P<0.05), and the score of stress perception was positively correlated with the frequency of NSSI behaviors (P<0.05); in the non-only-child adolescents, the score of anxious emotion was positively correlated with the frequency of NSSI behaviors (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Among the adolescents with mood disorders and NSSI behaviors, the only-child adolescents tend to have a higher frequency of self-injury and poorer mental health, and therefore, the only-child adolescents with mood disorders and NSSI behaviors need more attention.

Cerebellar atrophy is a rare and challenging disease with few descriptions in the medical literature. Motor impairment is mild, but behavioral and linguistic alterations stand out, in what is known as the cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome secondary to cerebellar atrophy. We report the case of an older woman with early-onset (age 45) signs and symptoms of this syndrome, including impairment of executive functions and visuospatial cognition, personality changes, and language deficits, who was followed at a geriatric medical center for 14 years. Neuropsychological, imaging, and behavioral aspects during this period are discussed in light of scientific evidence. This case report contributes to the scientific literature by describing the progression of the signs and symptoms of cerebellar atrophy over the years, which can help guide medical management and support advice for patients and their families.
A atrofia cerebelar é uma doença rara, desafiadora e com poucas descrições na literatura médica. O prejuízo motor é discreto, mas as alterações comportamentais e de linguagem se destacam, caracterizando a síndrome cognitivo-afetiva cerebelar secundária à atrofia cerebelar. Apresentamos o relato de caso de uma paciente idosa, que apresentou sinais e sintomas dessa síndrome precocemente (aos 45 anos de idade) tais como déficits na função executiva, prejuízo visuoespacial, alterações de personalidade e déficits de linguagem e foi acompanhada em um centro médico geriátrico por um período de 14 anos. Aspectos neuropsicológicos, de imagem e comportamentais durante esse período são comentados à luz das evidências científicas. O caso relatado contribui com a literatura científica ao descrever a evolução dos sinais e sintomas da atrofia cerebelar ao longo dos anos, balizando as condutas médicas e amparando as orientações ao paciente e seus familiares.

O Jiu-Jitsu é considerado um excelente exercício físico que pode ser realizado em todas as faixas etárias, aperfeiçoando os componentes físicos do corpo, assim como os aspectos sociais e emocionais de seus praticantes. No intuito de entender como uma luta de Jiu-Jitsu influencia no estado de humor dos seus praticantes, surge o objetivo deste estudo, que foi verificar os efeitos de uma competição sobre o estado de humor de jovens atletas de jiu-jitsu. Após os critérios de inclusão, o grupo do estudo foi composto por 12 atletas com idade entre 15 e 17 anos, do sexo masculino, praticantes de jiu-jitsu. A coleta de dados foi realizada na semifinal de um campeonato na cidade de Chapecó - SC. Os estados de humor dos atletas foram avaliados por meio da Escala de Humor de Brunel (BRUMS), em três momentos distintos identificados em controle, pré-luta e pós-luta. Para análise dos dados, os valores foram avaliados de maneira descritiva e inferencial. Após a análise de normalidade com os testes de Shapiro-Wilk, optou-se pelos testes de Anova de medidas repetidas e de Friedman com o Post Hoc de Bonferroni. Observou-se que no grupo vencedor houve aumento na fadiga pós luta (p<0,001), enquanto no grupo perdedor ocorreu aumento nos valores de depressão (p<0,001), raiva (p<0,001), fadiga (p<0,001) e diminuição do vigor (p=0,013) pós competição em relação aos valores controle e pré. Portanto, no grupo estudado a vitória ou a derrota influenciou o estado de humor dos atletas participantes, sendo que a derrota exprimiu relação com o aumento de sentimentos negativos como a depressão, a raiva e a fadig
Jiu-Jitsu is considered an excellent physical exercise that can be performed in all age groups, acting and perfecting the physical components of the body, as well as the social and emotional aspects of its practitioners. In order to understand how a Jiu-Jitsu fight influences the mood of its practitioners, the objective of this study arises, which was to verify the effects of a competition on the mood of young jiu-jitsu athletes. After the inclusion criteria, the study group was composed of 12 male athletes aged between 15 and 17 years old, jiu-jitsu practitioners. Data collection was carried out in the semifinal of a championship in the city of Chapecó - SC. The athletes' mood states were assessed using the Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS), in three distinct moments identified in control, pre-fight and post-fight. For data analysis, the values were assessed in a descriptive and inferential manner. After the analysis of normality with the Shapiro-Wilk tests, we opted for the Anova tests of repeated measures and the Friedman tests with the Bonferroni Post Hoc. It was observed that in the winning group there was an increase in post-fight fatigue (p <0.001). While in the losing group there was an increase in the values of depression (p <0.001), anger (p <0.001), fatigue (p <0.001) and a decrease in vigor (p = 0.013) after competition in relation to the control and pre values. Therefore, in the studied group, victory or defeat influenced the mood of the participating athletes, and the defeat expressed a relationship with the increase in negative feelings such as depression, anger and fatigue.

Abstract Objective Many adolescents suffer from depressive and anxiety disorders simultaneously and current treatment methods do not put enough emphasis on comorbidity of these disorders. The unified protocol for treating emotional disorders in adolescents is a transdiagnostic therapy which targets mutual fundamental factors. Therefore, the current study aims to compare the effectiveness of the unified protocol alone with the unified protocol combined with mindfulness as an additional treatment in adolescents suffering from emotional disorders. Method A quasi-experimental study was conducted with adolescents. The participants had been diagnosed with emotional disorders and were divided into a control group (15 participants) and an experimental group (16 participants). Both groups were offered 14 sessions of therapy. They were assessed at pre-test, post-test, and two-month follow-up. Scales used in the study included the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI), and the Youth Anxiety Measure for DSM-5 (YAM-5). Results The results showed that both of the treatment methods effectively reduced adolescents' emotional problems, but improvements were more significant in the group administered the additional mindfulness program. Among the variables assessed, non-phobic anxiety disorders and depression improved more than specific phobia and behavioral problems. Between-subjects (Group) partial etas for non-phobic anxiety, depression, specific phobia, and behavioral problems were 0.67, 0.50, 0.23, and 0.16, respectively. Conclusion According to the findings of this study, additional treatment methods such as mindfulness could increase the effectiveness of the unified transdiagnostic protocol for adolescents (UP-A). The therapeutic implications are discussed.

Abstract Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children and adolescents manifests itself in a heterogeneous manner as regards personality aspects. This study aimed to evaluate, by using the Ego Impairment Index, the personality functioning characteristics of children and adolescents between 9 and 15 years old (to be completed), diagnosed with the disorder (clinical group) and compare them with a non-clinical group. The groups included 42 participants each. The Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children - Present and Lifetime version was used for diagnosis, and the Rorschach Performance Assessment System (R-PAS) was utilized for personality traits. When compared to their peers, the participants in the clinical group showed ability to discern adaptive behaviors through proper judgment, difficulty in keeping thinking and reasoning processes stable, a negative view of themselves and others, in addition to difficulty in establishing cooperative relationships.
Resumo O transtorno da falta de atenção com hiperatividade em crianças e adolescentes manifesta-se de forma heterogênea com relação aos aspectos de personalidade. O presente estudo teve por objetivo avaliar, por meio do Índice de Enfraquecimento do Ego, características do funcionamento da personalidade de crianças e adolescentes, entre 9 e 15 anos incompletos, com o diagnóstico do transtorno (grupo clínico) e compará-las com um grupo não-clínico. Os grupos contemplaram 42 participantes cada. Utilizou-se para o diagnóstico a entrevista Kiddie-Sads Referente ao Momento Presente e ao Longo da Vida, e o Sistema de Avaliação por Performance no Rorschach (R-PAS) para as características de personalidade. Os participantes do grupo clínico, quando comparados com seus pares, mostraram capacidade de discernir comportamentos adaptativos por meio de julgamento adequado, dificuldade em manter estáveis os processos de pensamento e raciocínio, visão negativa de si próprios e dos demais, dificuldade para estabelecer relacionamentos cooperativos.
Resumen El trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad es uno de los más encontrados entre las patologías infantiles y se manifiesta de forma no homogénea con relación a los aspectos de personalidad. Este estudio comparó a través de lo Índice de Enflaquecimiento del Ego características de personalidad de niños y adolescentes entre 9 y 15 años incompletos con diagnóstico con un grupo de mismo sexo y edad sin diagnóstico. Cada grupo estaba compuesto por 42 participantes. Se utilizó la entrevista Kiddie-Sads sobre el momento presente y al largo de la vida para el diagnóstico y el Sistema de Evaluación por Performance en el Rorschach (R-PAS), para las características de personalidad. El grupo clínico mostró capacidad para discernir conductas adaptativas a través del juicio adecuado, dificultad para mantener estables los procesos de pensamiento y razonamiento, visión negativa de sí mismos y de los demás, dificultad para establecer relaciones de cooperación.

The increasing number of cesarean sections worldwide has encouraged research on the long-term effects of this birth type on the offspring's mental health. The objective of this study was to investigate whether there is an association between birth by cesarean section and the development of mood disorders (depression and bipolar disorders) in adolescents. A cohort study was carried out with 1603 adolescents from 18 to 19 years old who participated in the third phase of a birth cohort study in São Luís, MA, in 2016. Information on birth type and weight, prematurity, mother's age and schooling, parity, marital status, and smoking behavior during pregnancy, were collected at birth. The study outcomes were depression, bipolar disorder, and "mood disorder" construct. A Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) was developed to select the variables for minimal adjustment for confounding and collision bias. Associations were estimated through propensity score weighting using a two-step estimation model, and confounders for cesarean birth were used in the predictive model. There was no significant association in the relationship between birth type and depression (95%CI: -0.037 to 0.017; P=0.47), bipolar disorder (95%CI: -0.019 to 0.045; P=0.43), and mood disorder (95%CI: -0.033 to 0.042; P=0.80) in adolescents of both sexes. Birth by cesarean section was not associated with the development of mood disorders in adolescents.

Abstract Response styles and non-linearity might reduce the validity of scores on depression inventories. To address both issues, we explored the latent class structure of the Baptista's Depression Scale (EBADEP), and the influence of extreme response bias. In total, 1,137 Brazilian college students (M = 26 years, SD = 7.3) participated in this study. Taxometric analysis yielded ambiguous results, without clear support for either a dimensional or a categorical representation of the data. We found three latent classes: one comprising participants with a tendency to endorse items about sadness, angst, pessimism, and low self-efficacy; another with individuals scoring low on all symptoms; and a third with intermediate scores. We found no relationship between the composition of latent classes and extreme response. Participants who reported having received a diagnostic of depression were more likely to belong to the first latent class. These findings validate the clinical usefulness of a latent class structure for the EBADEP.
Resumo Respostas extremas e ausência de linearidade podem reduzir a validade de escores de depressão. Para abordar esse problema, este estudo teve por objetivo explorar a estrutura de classes latentes da Escala Baptista de Depressão (EBADEP) e a influência do viés de respostas extremas. Participaram 1.137 estudantes universitários brasileiros (M = 26 anos, DP = 7,3). A análise taxométrica indicou resultados ambíguos, sem um ajuste explicitamente melhor para uma estrutura dimensional ou categórica. Foram identificadas três classes latentes: a primeira, composta de participantes que tenderam a endossar itens de tristeza, angústia, negativismo e baixa autoeficácia; a segunda, de indivíduos com níveis baixos de sintomas; a terceira, com escores intermediários nos itens. Não foram encontradas relação entre as classes latentes e o estilo de respostas extremas. Participantes que relataram um diagnóstico de depressão apresentaram maior probabilidade de pertencer à primeira classe latente. Os resultados evidenciam a utilidade clínica da estrutura de classes latentes para a EBADEP.

Se identificaron tres clases latentes: la primera, compuesta por participantes que tendían a obtener altas puntuaciones en los ítems tristeza, angustia, negativismo y baja autoeficacia; la segunda, de individuos con bajos niveles de síntomas; y la tercera, con puntuaciones intermedias en los ítems. No se encontró relación entre las clases latentes y el estilo de respuestas extremas. Los participantes que informaron estar con diagnóstico de depresión tenían más probabilidades de pertenecer a la primera clase latente. Los resultados muestran la utilidad clínica de la estructura de clases latente para EBADEP.

Abstract Introduction Irritability has both mood and behavioral manifestations. These frequently co-occur, and it is unclear to what extent they are dissociable domains. We used confirmatory factor analysis and external validators to investigate the independence of mood and behavioral components of irritability. Methods The sample comprised 246 patients (mean age 45 years; 63% female) from four outpatient programs (depression, anxiety, bipolar, and schizophrenia) at a tertiary hospital. A clinical instrument rated by trained clinicians was specifically designed to capture irritable mood and disruptive behavior dimensionally, as well as current categorical diagnoses i.e., intermittent explosive disorder (IED); oppositional defiant disorder (ODD); and an adaptation to diagnose disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD) in adults. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to test the best fitting irritability models and regression analyses were used to investigate associations with external validators. Results Irritable mood and disruptive behavior were both frequent, but diagnoses of disruptive syndromes were rare (IED, 8%; ODD, 2%; DMDD, 2%). A correlated model with two dimensions, and a bifactor model with one general dimension and two specific dimensions (mood and behavior) both had good fit indices. The correlated model had root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) = 0.077, with 90% confidence interval (90%CI) = 0.071-0.083; comparative fit index (CFI) = 0.99; and Tucker-Lewis index (TLI) = 0.99, while the bifactor model had RMSEA = 0.041; CFI = 0.99; and TLI = 0.99 respectively). In the bifactor model, external validity for differentiation of the mood and behavioral components of irritability was also supported by associations between irritable mood and impairment and clinical measures of depression and mania, which were not associated with disruptive behavior. Conclusions Psychometric and external validity data suggest both overlapping and specific features of the mood vs. disruptive behavior dimensions of irritability.

ABSTRACT. Schizophrenia and common mental disorders are noteworthy social and economic concern worldwide. Epidemiologic studies on the impact of specific mental disorders in emerging countries are scarce. Objectives: We aimed to characterize the demographic, social, and economic burden of schizophrenia and common mental disorders patients in the health system in Brazil. Methods: Data on these conditions in Brazil between 2008 and 2019 were collected through the website of the Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (Information Technology Department of the Unified Health System - DATASUS) maintained by the Brazilian Ministry of Health. Mean annual hospital admissions were 154,009.67, and cumulative incidence of 77.44 admissions per 100,000 inhabitants. Results: Average annual hospital expenses were US$ 67,216,056.04, with an average admission cost of US$ 432.58. The most affected age groups were older adults albeit younger individuals showed a trend towards increase of occurrences in recent years. There were a higher number of admissions in men compared to women. Conclusions: We consider the results obtained important to assist in evaluating and guiding public policies regarding the prevention and treatment in health systems.
RESUMO. A esquizofrenia e os transtornos mentais comuns são uma preocupação social e econômica notável em todo o mundo. Estudos epidemiológicos sobre o impacto de transtornos mentais específicos em países emergentes são escassos. Objetivos: Nosso objetivo foi caracterizar a carga demográfica, social e econômica de pacientes com esquizofrenia e transtornos mentais comuns no sistema de saúde no Brasil. Métodos: Os dados sobre essas condições no Brasil entre 2008 e 2019 foram coletados por meio do site do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS), mantido pelo Ministério da Saúde do Brasil. As internações hospitalares anuais médias foram de 154.009,67, e a incidência acumulada de 77,44 internações por 100.000 habitantes. Resultados: As despesas hospitalares médias anuais foram de US$ 67.216.056,04, com um custo médio de internação de US$ 432,58. As faixas etárias mais afetadas foram os adultos mais velhos, embora os mais jovens tenham demonstrado tendência a aumento de ocorrências nos últimos anos. Houve um número maior de admissões entre os homens em comparação às mulheres. Conclusões: Consideramos importantes os resultados obtidos para auxiliar na avaliação e orientação de políticas públicas de prevenção e tratamento nos sistemas de saúde.

BACKGROUND: Nonmotor symptoms of Parkinson disease significantly hamper the quality of life of patients and have prognostic significance. AIM: To evaluate the presence of nonmotor symptoms in patients with Parkinson disease. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A structured interview was carried out in 32 patients aged 74 ± 9 years (53% men) with Parkinson disease asking specifically for impulse control disorders and dopaminergic dysregulation. The following scales were also applied: Hoehn & Yahr scale, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Geriatric depression scale, Nonmotor symptom scale and REM sleep scale. RESULTS: A high frequency of nonmotor symptoms was recorded, specially mood, sleep, urinary and gastrointestinal problems and impulse control disorders. CONCLUSIONS: Nonmotor symptoms must be actively sought and managed in patients with Parkinson disease.
