Intensive exposure treatment for obsessive compulsive disorder in old age.
Tijdschr Psychiatr. 2024;66(3):168-171.ABSTRACTThe absence of treatment studies for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) in older adults and the fact that OCD typically starts at a young age and often follows a chronic, fluctuating course quickly leads to therapeutic nihilism for older adults with OCD. In this case report, we present a 72-year-old man with OCD symptoms from the age of 35, who has only been treated with medication and psychotherapy for a recurrent depressive disorder. After a short, intensive exposure and response prevention treatment (four days in two weeks), the OCD symptoms and the depressive symptoms wer...

Effectiveness of Antidepressants in Combination with Psychotherapy
This study reports the remission rates for the 14 most commonly prescribed single antidepressants (amitriptyline, bupropion, citalopram, desvenlafaxine, doxepin, duloxetine, escitalopram, fluoxetine, mirtazapine, nortriptyline, paroxetine, sertraline, trazodone, and venlafaxine) and a category named "Other" (other antidepressants/combination of antidepressants). The study used robust LASSO regressions to identify factors that affected remission rate and clinicians' selection of antidepressants. The selection bias in observational data was removed through stratification. We organized the data into 16,770 subgroups, of at le...

CONCLUSIONS: In these selected samples, although women had more severe depression, men had more suicide risk factors. Such differences might contribute to men's increased suicide risk.PMID:38587055 | DOI:10.1080/13651501.2024.2335950 (Source: International Journal of Psychiatry in Clinical Practice)

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: Prevention and Treatment
Am Fam Physician. 2024 Mar;109(3):226-232.ABSTRACTDiabetic peripheral neuropathy occurs in up to 50% of patients with diabetes mellitus and increases the risk of diabetic foot ulcers and infections. Consistent screening and clear communication are essential to decrease disparities in assessment of neuropathic symptoms and diagnosis. Physicians should address underlying risk factors such as poor glycemic control, vitamin B12 deficiency, elevated blood pressure, and obesity to reduce the likelihood of developing neuropathy. First-line drug therapy for painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy includes duloxetine, gabapentin, am...
