Objective
Because the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic fostered an environment marked by limitations for social encounters and emotional fluctuations, it is essential to determine the variations in the consumption of Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS) and Electronic Non-nicotine Delivery Systems (ENNDS) during this period in young Colombians between 18 and 25 years of age, evaluating the emotional factors that affect the consumption mentioned above and the risky consumption.
Methods
After collecting data through a virtual survey, in this cross-sectional study a mainly descriptive analysis of variables related to the consumption of ENDS and ENNDS was carried out in parallel with three different mental health outcomes: depression, anxiety, and loneliness.
Results
Most participants reported a decrease or cessation of their consumption during the restrictive measures, which is consistent with the fact that more than half said that consumption was limited to social gatherings. Additionally, anxiety and loneliness symptoms are more present in those participants with risky consumption than those who do not.
Conclusion
Although the consumption of ENDS and ENNDS has a social predominance, there may be factors that modulate it. For this reason, it is essential to deepen research on this topic to propose public health strategies that allow this consumption to be mitigated.

The 16-item Prodromal Questionnaire (PQ-16) is a screening instrument for cases of schizophrenia. However, the test–retest reliability of the device in Colombian adolescents is unknown. The study's objective was to determine the test–retest reliability of the PQ-16 in Colombian school adolescents.
Methods
A validation study was designed with the participation of 49 Colombian students between the ages of 14 and 17 (M = 15.3, SD = 0.91), 27 (55.1%) were females and 22 (44.9%) males.
Results
Total scores were similar in both applications (M = 7.1, SD = 4.1 versus M = 6.6, SD = 4.7, t = 1.34, gl = 48, p = 0.19), Pearson's correlation of 0.80, correlation coefficient of 0.89 (95% CI: 0.84–0.94) and Lin's coefficient of concordance of 0.92.
Conclusions
The PQ-16 is an instrument with high test-retest reliability in Colombian adolescents. Testing the dimensionality and validity against a structured clinical interview with a larger sample of participants is necessary.

Objective
Review the sociodemographic and psychosocial conditions related to female migration from Venezuela to Colombia, with emphasis on psychosocial and mental health factors.
Method
The information was extracted from reports from international organizations, demographic surveys and articles published in different scientific media. Based on this information, different topics are analyzed considering statistical values, conditions and presentation of different variables that affect the quality of life and mental health of migrant Venezuelan women and their families.
Results
The studies and sources reviewed show that they allow us to infer that the Venezuelan migrant status and gender are factors that strongly affect access to employment, health and decent housing, with women in an irregular migratory situation being the most affected. Likewise, stereotypes, xenophobic events, and gender-based violence negatively impact access to services and mental health.
Conclusions
It is necessary to continue building programs aimed at the needs of the female population, since migration accentuates gender gaps and negatively impacts mental health.

Introduction
Youth is a critical period for the development of anxiety and depression, contributing to the disease burden in this population. Psychosocial resources (resilience and social capital) are important in coping with this burden but are under-researched in urban areas of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This study describes the sociodemographic characteristics, psychosocial resources, psychopathological symptoms and quality of life, and examines the relationship between psychopathological symptoms with psychosocial resources in a multi-country Latin American sample.
Methods
Using data from the OLA research program, this cross-sectional study involved youth aged 15–16 and 20–24 years from vulnerable urban areas in Latin America. Participants completed sociodemographic questionnaires and assessments for anxiety (GAD-7), depression (PHQ-8), social capital (ASCAT), and resilience (CD-RISC 10). Multinomial regression analyzed the relationships between psychopathology and psychosocial resources.
Results
Out of 2402 participants, 59.8% reported psychopathology: 6.8% with only anxiety, 18.9% with only depression, and 34.1% with comorbid anxiety–depression. Participants with comorbid anxiety–depression had the highest percentage of low cognitive social capital (92.4%) and the lowest resilience scores (median = 21, IQR = 11). Resilience showed a protective role across all psychopathological groups. High cognitive social capital was protective for those with depression and comorbid anxiety–depression.
Conclusion
Comorbidity was most prevalent and associated with lower resilience and quality of life. Resilience and cognitive social capital emerged as protective factors, suggesting potential targets for interventions in the population studied. These findings highlight the need for further research.

Background
There has been extensive research on mental distress and quality of life, and various studies have shown an association between high distress and poorer subjective quality of life (SQoL). However, hardly any research has addressed these issues in young people in deprived urban areas who are exposed to a range of risk factors for experiencing mental distress.
Objective
The study aimed to assess the SQoL and symptoms of anxiety and depression among adolescents and young adults living in deprived urban areas in South America and explore the link between SQoL and symptoms.
Methods
In a cross-sectional study, we recruited participants aged 15/16 and 20–24 years old in deprived areas in Bogotá, Buenos Aires and Lima. Participants rated symptoms of depression and anxiety on the Patient Health Questionnaire-8 and General Anxiety Disorder-7 respectively and SQoL on the Manchester Short Assessment of Quality of Life.
Results
We recruited 2396 participants (1077 adolescents and 1319 young adults), with on average moderate symptom levels of depression and anxiety. Variations of satisfaction with different life domains were largely similar in the two age groups. Overall, participants were explicitly dissatisfied with their personal safety and financial situation, and most satisfied with the people they lived with, their sex life, family relations and friendships. Higher scores on both depression and anxiety scales showed moderate associations (from r = −0.31 to r = −0.52) with poorer SQoL in both age groups.
Conclusion
The SQoL of young people with moderate symptom levels of depression and anxiety and living in deprived urban areas in South America reflects the adverse environment they live in and points to positive resources in social relationships reducing mental distress and improving social conditions may lead to an improvement of quality of life in this population.

Introduction
Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) encompasses a broad spectrum of syndromes related to movement and behavioral disorders. The most common symptoms include motor disturbances such as frequent falls, rigidity, bradykinesia, and ocular movements. Behavioral changes may precede these symptoms, complicating the diagnosis and delaying treatment. This case aims to highlight symptoms that may raise suspicion for PSP diagnosis and facilitate timely treatment.
Clinical case
The patient is a 58-year-old woman with neuropsychiatric symptoms such as disinhibition and depressive symptoms, initially diagnosed as anxiety and depression, and later, in the presence of psychotic symptoms, as schizophrenia. Eight years after the onset of symptoms, she consulted a psychiatric hospital, where alterations in affect, psychomotor function, and neurological examination were found. A simple brain magnetic resonance imaging showed suggestive signs of PSP, and treatment was initiated with haloperidol and levodopa/carbidopa, resulting in partial improvement of symptoms.
Conclusions
Due to the multiple psychiatric symptoms presented by PSP, it is often misdiagnosed as a primary psychiatric disorder, leading to delayed management and exposing patients to possible adverse effects of unnecessary treatments.

Objective
Explore the association between being a victim of bullying and the presence of symptoms of depression and anxiety, and evaluate if participants’ resilience and structural and cognitive social capital are effect modifiers.
Methods
In this case–control study, participants were adolescents and young adults from disadvantaged neighbourhoods in Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Lima. We conducted logistic regressions to address the association between bullying and the presence of symptoms of depression (PHQ-8) and anxiety (GAD-7). We stratified the analysis by resilience (CD-RISC 10), cognitive social capital, and structural social capital (SASCAT) levels and obtained the predicted probabilities of having symptoms.
Results
Young people who were bullied more than a year ago had 2.39 and 2.06 times higher odds of having symptoms of depression and anxiety, respectively, compared to participants who were never bullied. Those bullied in the last year had 3.58 and 4.01 times higher odds of having symptoms of depression and anxiety, respectively, compared to young people who were never bullied. Having high levels of resilience and cognitive social capital reduced the probability of having symptoms of depression and anxiety, but structural social capital did not.
Conclusions
Bullying was linked to depression and anxiety in disadvantaged Latin American youth. Interventions should focus on preventing bullying and enhancing resilience and community resources to support mental well-being.

Objective
Assess the association between experiencing parental alcohol misuse with depression, anxiety and frequency of alcohol use among young people, and evaluate participants’ coping strategies as effect modifiers.
Methods
Participants were adolescents and young adults from deprived Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Lima areas. We evaluated the relationship between experiencing parental alcohol misuse and presence of depression (PHQ-8), anxiety (GAD-7), and frequency of alcohol use (ASSIST), and examined the modifying effect of coping (CCSC-R1).
Results
Young people who experienced parental alcohol misuse in the last year had 2.41 and 2.30 times higher odds of having depression and anxiety, respectively, and 1.91 and 2.49 times higher odds of drinking monthly and weekly, compared to those who did not. Those who experienced it more than a year ago had 1.60 and 1.58 times higher odds of having depression and anxiety, respectively, compared to participants who did not. Coping strategies were not significant effect modifiers.
Conclusions
Parental alcohol misuse is associated with emotional distress and frequency of alcohol use in young people. Family-based interventions should address youth drinking and promote positive parenting practices.

Introduction
Pseudologia fantastica is a concept that has been relegated to the history books about psychopathology, which is sparely used nowadays because it is not included in any nosological category.
Discussion
A clinical case is presented to serve as an invitation to think about its genesis and to search for a model of understanding that explains it. Since the current diagnostic categories are insufficient to explain this phenomenon, we used the psychodynamic model proposed by Otto Kernberg and collaborators about personality organizations from the structural point of view.
Conclusion
It is important to widen the comprehension of the personality functioning, through different nosologic models to understand the diverse manifestations related to this group of disorders.
