The world is struggling with the greatest health crisis for the last two and a half years and this has affected everyone''s life especially the working women. This paper is an endeavour to study the stress among working women working in various sectors amid this covid-19 pandemic. Constant juggling in different roles and responsibilities between kids, jobs, and domestic work has escalated the level of stress in their lives. The condition of working women has worsened by bearing the heap of responsibilities of work, home, children, family, house, etc., which undoubtedly results in stress, frustration, and anger affecting the physical and mental health of women. The authors have utilized qualitative data analysis techniques to address the issue with the help of computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software NVIVO. For analyzing the qualitative data, NVIVO 12 was used by applying the three tools Word Cloud Analysis, thematic analysis, and sentiments analysis. : For conducting the comprehensive study, a questionnaire was designed which consist of 14 questions excluding the demographic information namely Name, Age, Gender, Profession, Experience, etc. Questionnaires were floated to 60 working women under different job profiles. Convenience Sampling was used to collect the data. Out of a sample of 60, 50 women recorded their responses via Google Sheets, and 38 questionnaires were finally used for analysis. The findings of the study show that working women are facing continuous challenges and are under stress due to multiple roles, responsibilities, and work demands since the onset of COVID-19. It is supported by Word Cloud Analysis, thematic analysis, and sentiments analysis. This qualitative study is a useful reflective on the challenges faced by working women due to work demand from personal and professional front. Authors have collected the data from women working in different sectors and utilized computer assisted qualitative data analysis techniques NVIVO to address this issue. Women are considered as nurturing sex and especially in patriarchal societies. The reflective insights of literature and result of this study shows that the society should provide the help hand to relieve the stress of working women by providing them support from their families (husband, parents, kids, and in-laws) and from work domain as well (Boss, colleague, and management). It this high time to create and cultivate an organizational culture that supports women employees to take advantage of working policies without any fear of penalty. Organization may have diversity and inclusion policies in practice, but the "everyday behavior" of employers reflects whether they actually believe in diversity or not. Supportive behaviour should initiate from homes by providing shoulders in household chores, caregiving and other domestic responsibilities. By promoting inclusive culture through flexible approach organizations can bring diversity at work place. This

With the sudden onset of COVID 19, many organisations introduced a mandatory relocation of workforce from their workplace to their homes bringing in a work from home policy for their employees. The purpose of the study is to examine the positive and negative impact on quality of life of teleworking, thereby assessing the prevalence of psychological distress of employees working in COVID 19. A cross sectional study was conducted on Indian - representative survey of self-reported data through an online questionnaire of work from home employees and their responses were analysed using SPSS software. The study findings revealed that out of 2943 total respondents to the questionnaires, 18.9% and 20.2% had agreed and strongly agreed respectively to the statement that, work from home was a chance to break old habits and change routine. The mean positive affect score among those affected with COVID was 20.82 ± 3.71 and for those not affected with COVID was 21.12 ± 3.71. The results indicate age disparities in mental distress, perceived adversities highlighted the discrepancies differed by the area of residence and those affected by the corona virus.

The current article reports on the findings from a cross-sectional survey conducted among college students on a subjectively reported and objectively measured smartphone screen time (ST) and its relation to mental well-being. We explored the magnitude of discrepancy between subjectively reported and objectively measured smartphone ST. Moreover, we assessed the interaction of mental well-being with personality traits among subjects with a discrepancy between the subjectively reported and objectively measured smartphone ST. The mental health of study participants was assessed using the WHO well-being index. Personality was assessed using the Big Five Inventory (BFI)-10. A total of 202 students shared screenshots of the phone ST function and were included in the analysis. A total of 145 (71.8%) participants underestimated their daily smartphone ST, whereas 56 (27.7%) of them overestimated ST. In the regression analysis, the predicted odds of poor mental well-being were 1.43 times greater for subjects with higher neuroticism scores in the overall sample. Moreover, the predicted odds of poor mental well-being were 1.593 times greater for subjects with higher neuroticism scores among the study subjects who underestimated their ST. The findings of the current study suggested that the magnitude of discrepancy between the subjectively estimated and objectively estimated ST varies across college students, with the discrepancy being significantly higher among those who overestimated their ST. The predicted odds of poor mental well-being were about one and a half times greater for subjects with higher neuroticism scores among college students who underestimated their ST.

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that regulates neuronal activity and a variety of cognitive functions, and medicines that target serotonin receptors are frequently utilized in psychiatry and neurology. Clinical and preclinical research on the role of serotonin in major depressive disorder is growing. These findings demonstrate the intricacy of serotonin transmission across multiple receptors, in a variety of brain areas, and across the lifespan. The serotonin transporter's significance in major depressive disorder has been highlighted in gene-environment association studies, as well as its participation in the mechanism of the most successful antidepressant medications, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. While most of the 15 known serotonin receptors have been linked to depression or depressive-like behaviour, the serotonin 1A (5-HT) and 1B (5-HT) receptors have received the most attention. The primary goal of this study is to review the antidepressant effect of herbal medications by modifying serotonin receptors in the future. Human brain imaging and genetic studies suggest that 5-HT and 5-HT receptors play a role in major depressive disorder and antidepressant treatment response. The availability of tissue-specific and inducible knockout mice lines in rodents has allowed for the detection of 5-HT and 5-HT receptor involvement throughout development and in cell-type specific ways. It may be found that herbal drugs will be effective as the serotonin reuptake inhibitors. This and other future preclinical pharmacology studies show that these receptors' autoreceptor and heteroreceptor populations play different roles in modulating depression-related behaviour and antidepressant responses, as well as having different functions during early postnatal development versus adulthood. According to analysis of our research findings, alkaloids may have some therapeutic promise as natural antidepressants. Given their widespread distribution in nature, alkaloids might be a cheap way to treat depression.

In 2021, more than 23 million people were in need of humanitarian assistance in Ethiopia, including four million internally displaced persons and returnees. Displaced populations face an elevated risk of mental health and psychosocial problems, yet they often have limited access to mental health and psychosocial support. This study aimed to assess: 1) the mental health and psychosocial needs and resources among displaced persons in Ethiopia; and 2) examine barriers, and facilitators, and identify strategies to improve access to culturally appropriate mental health and psychosocial support in this population and context. We conducted a sequential mixed-methods assessment of mental health and psychosocial needs and resources. First, we conducted 16 key informant interviews with those who had experience and knowledge regarding the mental health situation of displaced persons in Ethiopia, including mental health providers and humanitarian practitioners. Second, we conducted an assessment of available mental health services in 15 internally displaced persons (IDP) sites in Ethiopia along with 28 key informant interviews in this context to explore some of the challenges and strategies to improving access to mental health and psychosocial support. Access to mental health services was limited in IDP sites. Participants identified numerous barriers to accessing services that ranged from limited supply and fragmentation of existing mental health services to an incongruence between formal mental health services and explanatory models of mental illness. Strategies to address these barriers included engagement of community members and key stakeholders (e.g., traditional and religious healers), improving mental health literacy, strengthening referral systems and mental health capacity, and improving coordination and integration of mental health within the national health system. This study highlights several challenges and opportunities for improving access to mental health and psychosocial support among displaced persons in Ethiopia. Efforts to bridge gaps in access to mental health and psychosocial support must consider both systems-level factors that influence availability as well as community factors influencing perceptions and acceptability of services within this context.

In this revisited review, the authors aimed to discuss the general prevalence and burden of depression in patients diagnosed with heart failure. The postulated mechanisms of depression in patients with heart failure, the diagnostic approaches, methods as well as treatment options were all discussed. The safety of depression medications in heart failure patients was also discussed. Through the review of the updated literature and current guidelines, the authors concluded that a team approach is the best way to manage those types of patients.

Background: Despite the huge global socioeconomic burden of depressive disorders, depression is often underreported and undertreated due to a lower level of awareness from both healthcare providers and payers in many countries. The lack of an evidence-based approach to care delivery has resulted in the inequitable allocation of health resources, causing resource scarcity issues in Argentina. Objective: The aim of this paper is to identify the gaps in evidence related to patients’ journeys and barriers in the existing care ecosystem contributing to poor access to quality care for depression in an Argentine context. Methods: A semi-systematic review of the literature was performed from 2012 to 2021 using Medline, Embase and Biosis and other unstructured sources (Google Scholar, the World Health Organization (WHO) website, Argentina Ministry of Health website, and Incidence and Prevalence Database (IPD) on awareness, screening, diagnosis, treatment, adherence and/or control of depression amongst adults (≥18 years). Any identified data gaps were supplemented with anecdotal data from local experts. Results: Low percentages of adult patients with depression awareness (<25%), screening (<10%), diagnosis (37.5%), received treatment (41.9%), adherence to treatment (37.5%), and control (37.5%) were observed. Conclusion: Ensuring a care continuum while considering full clinical remission with functional recovery as a therapeutic goal and advocacy for patient-centric adjustments in existing mental health policies would be key drivers for improving the depression care scenario.

The lack of an evidence-based approach to care delivery has resulted in the inequitable allocation of health resources, causing resource scarcity issues in Argentina. Objective: The aim of this paper is to identify the gaps in evidence related to patients’ journeys and barriers in the existing care ecosystem contributing to poor access to quality care for depression in an Argentine context. Methods: A semi-systematic review of the literature was performed from 2012 to 2021 using Medline, Embase and Biosis and other unstructured sources (Google Scholar, the World Health Organization (WHO) website, Argentina Ministry of Health website, and Incidence and Prevalence Database (IPD) on awareness, screening, diagnosis, treatment, adherence and/or control of depression amongst adults (≥18 years). Any identified data gaps were supplemented with anecdotal data from local experts. Results: Low percentages of adult patients with depression awareness (<25%), screening (<10%), diagnosis (37.5%), received treatment (41.9%), adherence to treatment (37.5%), and control (37.5%) were observed.

Depression is a mental disorder that affects 279 million people. Patients with depression will not only have an impact on themselves but can also have an impact on others. Provide an overview of the impact of depression on health workers, workers, students and patients, as well as the prevention of depression. Data on the impact of depression and its prevention using the Google Scholar and Pubmed search engine. Depression in healthcare workers can affect the occurrence of misdiagnosis of a patient's disease, reduce the quality of service, and increase the risk of suicide. Depression in other workers can result in lost productivity and income, absenteeism, presenteeism, and accidents in the workplace. Depression in students causes decreased student achievement, difficulties concentrating and social interactions, and absenteeism. In patients with physical illness, depression can increase the risk of mortality, re-hospitalization, higher costs, poor treatment adherence, and lost follow-up. Depression prevention can help lower the risk of depression by up to 21%. This prevention must be done as early as possible and starts from the scope of prevention at the family level. Then this prevention can be done individually, especially for those with a high risk of experiencing depression. The last prevention is universal prevention (population) which can be started by educating the community Depression can happen to anyone and will have a detrimental impact on themselves and others. Prevention of depression should be done as early as possible to prevent the impacts of depression.
