Substance Withdrawal-Associated Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy: A Review of the Literature
Conclusions: Withdrawal-associated Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of substance withdrawal. Clinicians should maintain a high degree of clinical suspicion for withdrawal-associated Takotsubo in patients with a history of substance use disorders or physical dependence on benzodiazepines or opioids, as the clinical presentation may be atypical.PMID:36821769 | DOI:10.4088/PCC.22r03304 (Source: Primary Care)

Subanalysis of Subjective Cognitive Measures From a Phase 2, Double-Blind, Randomized Trial of REL-1017 in Patients With Major Depressive Disorder
Conclusions: In a Phase 2a clinical trial, REL-1017 improved subjective measures of cognitive impairment, in addition to improving total MADRS and SDQ scores. These results need to be confirmed in larger and longer studies in MDD that include objective measures of cognitive function. Phase 3 studies of REL-1017 for MDD are currently underway.Clinical Trials Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03051256.PMID:36821775 | DOI:10.4088/PCC.22m03267 (Source: Primary Care)

Motivational Interviewing in Primary-Care: Substance Use Disorders beyond AUDIT/DAST
Prim Care. 2023 Mar;50(1):1-10. doi: 10.1016/j.pop.2022.10.009. Epub 2023 Jan 10.ABSTRACTPrimary-care settings have a unique advantage to reaching a broad range of the population and the ability to address a wide array of presenting problems, including substance-use. With high rates of substance-use in the United States and low rates of substance-use treatment utilization, the primary-care office is key in assessing and supporting patients in changing substance-use behaviors. Motivational interviewing is a conversational tool physicians can use to highlight intrinsic motivation for change and support specific changes patie...

Use of Mobile Apps & amp; Stepped-Care Model for Treating Depression in Primary Care
Prim Care. 2023 Mar;50(1):11-19. doi: 10.1016/j.pop.2022.10.005. Epub 2023 Jan 10.ABSTRACTStepped-care (SC) models have been adopted in primary care settings as a method for treating mental health conditions within primary care. In a SC model, a patient's symptoms are assessed, and an intervention is prescribed that matches the severity of symptoms. Thus, the SC model offers a variety of steps and levels of treatment that range from low to high intensity. Progression in treatment is monitored on a weekly basis and patients are stepped up or down in level of care depending on their clinical response to the intervention.PMID...

Epub 2023 Jan 10.ABSTRACTMental health is a very important component of whole health because the body, mind, and spirit are woven together to create the fabric of a person's life. Many people in the United States and globally are living with mental health challenges, and it seems that much more attention has been given to anxiety-related mental health conditions in the past few years due to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. The pandemic may certainly have accelerated the onset of mental health conditions for some who were already predisposed, whether i...

Epub 2023 Jan 11.ABSTRACTPerinatal mood disorders are a leading cause of disability worldwide and suicide is a leading cause of maternal death in the first year after giving birth. The three categories of perinatal mood disorders are postpartum blues, postpartum depression, and postpartum psychosis. Identifying risk factors may allow clinicians to provide patients with interventions to potentially prevent development of these disorders. Universal screening for perinatal mood disorders can lead to earlier identification and treatment. Collaborative care meth...

Geriatric Depression
Prim Care. 2023 Mar;50(1):143-158. doi: 10.1016/j.pop.2022.10.010.ABSTRACTLate-life depression is common but underrecognized and undertreated leading to significant morbidity and mortality, including from suicide. The presence of comorbidities necessitates screening followed by a careful history in order to make the diagnosis of depression. Because older adults tend to take longer to respond to treatment and have higher relapse rates than younger patients, they benefit most from persistent, attentive therapy. Although both pharmacotherapy and psychosocial treatments, or a combination of the two, are considered as the first...

Inappropriate use or overuse of social media and internet can lead to increase in mental health disorders.

Many factors lead to the increase in disorders during this transition period but most are centered on the needed adjustments into adult life and lack of foundation to make these changes. Socioeconomic and racial demographics play a role in the risks of developing and seeking treatment of these issues.
