Researchers have long reviewed various treatments for anxiety, considerations, co-morbidity, as well as types of anxiety that we should be aware of. This literature review will investigate various forms of anxiety, perceptions of students with test anxiety while ending with the diagnosis and treatment of anxiety disorders. We believe these articles give insight into working with individuals with anxious feelings that tend to persist over a period.

This research is intended to examine the mental well-being of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and to examine whether mental well-being differs according to the socio-demographic, health and disease characteristics of patients hospitalized in the state hospital. The study group of the study group consisted of individuals who were diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) at Çumra State Hospital in Çumra, Konya province, between February 2018 and April 2018. Random sampling method is used in sample selection. In the calculation of the sample, the number of samples was calculated as 123 individuals. In the collection of research data; a questionnaire form prepared by their searcher and the Warwick Edinburgh Mental well Being Scale (WEMIO) were used. The data were collected by their searcher using the hospitalized questionnaire in the internal medicine service, based on self-report by the participants, and in a portion of the questionnaires, interviewed faceto-face with patients with difficulties in reading. Data were summarized as number, percentage, and mean ± Standard deviation. In the analyzes, student t test and one way analysis of variance were used in independent groups of parametric tests. In all statistical analyzes, p <0.05 was considered significant. It was found that 58.5% of the participants had female gender, 69.1% were 65 years and below, 61.0% had education at primary and lower education, 90.2%-49.6% of the respondents considered the economic situation as moderate, 81.3% were married, 94.3% were health insurance, 88.6% were living in the core family, 52.0% were interested in home care 92.2% of these caregivers are first degree relative. The mean score of the individuals who participated in the study was 45, 98 ± 10,52 points on the Mental Well-Being Scale. Patients with low educational level, unemployed and poor economic status, single, needing caregivers and seeking psychiatric support should be evaluated form mental well-being and should be considered as a risk group. It may be advisable for researchers to conduct studies on the causes affecting mental well-being and to contribute to the development of the literature on this subject, to work with illustrates with different socio economic characteristics and with larger samples.

Background: In the course of aging, elderly people experience declining physical and psychological function and deteriorated general health. One of the psychological deteriorations is the feeling of loneliness which may contribute to major health problems among the elderly people and its connections are still in argument. Objectives: To assess levels of loneliness among the elderly and to find out the relationship between these levels and some demographic characteristics. Methodology: A descriptive design study has been conducted from March 10th, 2017 to the July 10th, 2017. A non-probability sample of 52 elderly people was recruited, and a questionnaire was constructed which has two parts: five demographic characteristics of elderly people: gender, age, level of education, marital status and previous occupation; and 20 items represent UCLA loneliness scale. Results: 69.2% of elderly people are 60 years old and more; about half of them are married; 33% have secondary level of education and more; and 51.9% are retired. Half of elderly people have high and extremely high levels of loneliness. There is a significant relationship between the levels of loneliness and gender and age of elderly people. Conclusion: More than half of elderly people were with the levels of loneliness ranged between high to extremely high level. Women are with more levels of loneliness than men are. Recommendations: Elderly-related special services should be provided aiming at decreasing levels of loneliness and social isolation. These can be considered largely into one-to-one interventions.

Objectives: This study was conducted to confirm the benefits of Alpha-Stim® cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) technology as an effective non-drug treatment for anxiety, mood, sleep, and pain in teachers following a successful pilot study at the Leigh Academy, Dartford, United Kingdom. The second objective was to determine whether the new smartphone app was a reliable method of evaluating the effectiveness, based on the pilot study in the UK, other prior surveys, and more than 100 prospective research studies conducted on Alpha-Stim technology conducted from 1981 through 2019. Methods: Thirty-five teachers (29 females and 6 males) in the Mineral Wells, Texas Independent School District, volunteered to participate in a study to reduce anxiety, depression, insomnia, and pain by passing a mild electric current with specific waveform characteristics through their brains via electrodes that clip on their ears. It was a sixweek open-label design where participants tracked their progress using a new smartphone app to record their symptoms at least five days per week. The subjects were encouraged to use the device for 20-60 minutes any time of day and for any indication. Results: The statistical analyses revealed highly significant (p values <0.001) for anxiety, depression, insomnia, and pain. The effect size Cohen's d values from a total of 237 treatments were greater than two standard deviations for all outcome measures indicating a high level of practical change from baseline to posttest supporting the capability of Alpha-Stim CES technology in reducing self-perceived symptoms and the ability to monitor progress on the Alpha-Stim app. Conclusion: This treatment effect with Alpha-Stim cranial electrotherapy stimulation on anxiety, insomnia, depression, and pain was consistent with prior surveys and confirmed the precision of the new app in determining progress from a single treatment and a series of treatments.

Studies have reported a positive association between suicide rate and altitude, suggesting a relationship between hypoxia and depression. Previously we reported that a high frequency of depression is not universal at high altitudes and that the prevalence of depression in Ladakh was low. This study aimed to analyze the clinical course of residents diagnosed with depression during our previous health checkup. The participants were two residents diagnosed with depression during our health checkup of 114 residents in Domkhar, Ladakh in 2009. Their 7-year outcome was analyzed through home visits. The Geriatric Depression Scale-15 as an index of depression, the Religious Commitment Inventory-10 as an index of religious devotion, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support as an index of social support were administered. The two residents diagnosed with depression achieved spontaneous remission without treatment. Both residents had strong religious devotion and were satisfied with their relationship with other residents. They reported that praying, listening to a priest’s lecture, and visiting a religious facility made them feel better. The results suggest that social support and religious beliefs may not only protect against the development of depression but also have a positive effect on the clinical course of depression in high-altitude communities.

Obesity alters brain structure and disturbs mood and cognition. Increase in BMI was associated with changes in white matter structures which may accelerate cognitive decline among obese individuals. Metabolic/bariatric surgery may be the last chance for good long-term weight-loss when conservative therapy did not produce results. Weight loss after metabolic surgery causes changes in self-perception and possible in inter-personal relationships. These changes may be mediators of different mental health outcomes such as depression. Different mental problems, mild, moderate or severe depressive symptoms and increase in self-harm are more prevalent in patients undergoing metabolic surgery in comparison with the general population. Some studies indicated that bariatric surgery is associated with long-term reductions in depression and anxiety, while the other studies have found elevated risk of major depression disorders. Increased risk for suicide after metabolic surgery may be explained by insufficient weight loss, weight regain, recurrence of obesity-related comorbidities or non-achieved life-changing effects after weight loss. Another issue is the five times higher risk of alcohol abuse after some types of the metabolic surgery.

Objective: In clinical work, patients with mild depressive disorder, dysthymia and minor depression share similar depressive symptoms. According to our previous study, most of these patients could benefit from the manual-based group cognitive behavioral therapy (GCBT). The current study was a post hoc analysis to explore whether perceived social support might influence the efficacy of GCBT for patients with mild depressive disorder, dysthymia and minor depression in two-year follow-up period. Methods: Patients with mild depressive disorder, dysthymia and minor depression were treated with GCBT. Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD-17) were assessed at baseline, week 4, week 8, week 12, week 24, week 36, week 48 and two years. Data was analyzed based on the intention-to-treat group. Results: One hundred participants were divided into High-perceived social support group and Low-perceived social support group according to the mean score of MSPSS at baseline. The total scores of HRSD-17 were declined significantly from baseline to the end of GCBT in both groups and differed significantly from each other at week 4, week 8 and week 12 (P<0.05). There were no significant differences of the total scores of HRSD-17 between two groups at different follow-up points (P>0.05). Conclusion: The present research suggested perceived social support played a considerable role when patients received GCBT. Patients with high-perceived social support would benefit more and faster from GCBT than those with low-perceived social support. Increasing perceived social support might be helpful for those patients who want to benefit more from GCBT.
