Minding the complexities of psychotropic medication management for children and youth in the foster care system
The phenomenon of inappropriate polypharmacy among the foster care population arises in part due to the challenges related to integrating trauma-informed principles into service delivery. It is further exacerbated by the complexity of intersecting systems in which child welfare case workers need to communicate, including foster and biological parents, social service agencies, and advocates. Yet, there is limited research about trauma-informed psychotropic medication management interventions for child welfare staff. (Source: Archives of Psychiatric Nursing)

Minding the complexities of psychotropic medication Management for Children and Youth in the Foster Care system
Foster care children tend to have greater physical and mental health needs compared to those of their peers who are not in foster care due to many challenges that threaten their well-being. Yet, owing to frequent placement changes, their treatment may be fragmented. Moreover, if foster children are unable to provide important information about their own health status, and the same cannot be obtained from their families of origin, the resulting incomplete and/or inconsistent health history puts them at risk for unrecognized problems and conflicting diagnoses.

Barriers and facilitators to treatment seeking behaviors for depression, epilepsy, and schizophrenia in low- and middle-income countries: A systematic review
Despite the severe consequences, the treatment gap for depression, epilepsy, and schizophrenia continues to be a major concern in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). We conducted a systematic review of literature on barriers and facilitators of treatment-seeking behaviors from the perspective of individuals living with depression, epilepsy, and schizophrenia and stakeholders in LMICs. Knowledge deficits, beliefs, and stigma were barriers to treatment-seeking across disorders. The most cited facilitators were demographics, socioeconomic status, and collaboration with traditional healers. (Source: Archives of Psychiatric Nursing)

The effect of perceived social support on frailty and depression: A multicategorical multiple mediation analysis
The mediating effects of three sources of perceived social support on frailty severity and depression were examined. Conducted in rural China, data on 570 frail older women were studied. Results showed that significant others' support (mainly daughters) ( β = 0.177 for frailty score = 3) mediated the relationship between frailty severity and depression, and the 95 % bias-corrected bootstrap confidence intervals did not straddle zero (0.013–0.419), while the mediating effects of family support (mainly sons) and friends support were not ob served.

A scoping review of gamification for mental health in children: Uncovering its key features and impact
Mental health conditions in children and adolescents have wide-ranging effects, limiting opportunities for future productive lives. While there has been an upsurge of interest in using games for learning, gamification to optimize health outcomes is worth reviewing when this approach to address mental health conditions is in its infancy. A literature search was conducted with two hundred and fifteen articles involving participants up to 19 years of age with diagnosable mental health conditions, involving the concept of game design elements to motivate health in the context of comparing gamification and non-gamification a...
