Objective
This study aimed to investigate the association between occupation and depressive/anxiety symptoms, and education levels, among professionals from a Brazilian General Hospital in need of mental health treatment.
Design and setting
This is a cross-sectional study, involving professionals from a teaching hospital in São Paulo.
Methods
Socio-demographic data were collected as well as two standardized scales for depression and anxiety symptoms.
Results
Data from 506 employees seeking mental health assistance have been described: mean age was 34.6 years, 46.2% of them worked in the administrative sector, 35.0% were nursing assistants, 7.5% were nursing technicians, 6.7% were nurses, and 4.5% reported other occupations. According to the International Classification of Diseases-10th edition (ICD-10) criteria, the rates of diagnosis of depressive disorders and anxiety disorders were 60.9% and 37%, respectively. Nursing technicians and nursing assistants reported higher somatic cluster Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) scores (P = 0.012) than other professionals of technical staff, but they were less inclined to receive a psychiatric diagnosis.
Conclusions
Our study demonstrated prevalence rates higher than similar studies in university hospitals, fact that associated with difficulties of the studied population as seeing themselves as sick, and the social discrimination suffered by people with mental disorders can make this problem even worse.

Introduction
During the covid-19 pandemic, mental health services were unable to cope with the high demand from the population, so many people chose to search the Internet for information that could help them cope with the psychological process they were experiencing at the time. The aim of this study was to characterize the global search trend for the term «psychiatry» in the context of covid-19 using Google Trends and Our World in Data.
Methods
Descriptive-cross-sectional study on global search trends for Psychiatry in the context of covid-19 under the terms «psychiatry», «depression», «anxiety», «stress», «insomnia» and «suicide» in the category of health, this was conducted over the period 2020-2021 and time graphs were generated.
Results
The term «psychiatry» remained at a consistently high relative search volume (between 60 and 90), with a significant and gradual search in the month of April. The relative search volume for «depression», «anxiety» and «stress» remained constant with some non-significant fluctuations over the period 2020-2021. The term «insomnia» was predominant between January and June 2020, gradually declining in April and remaining constant until October 2021. Finally, the term «suicide» had a fluctuating RBV between 60 and 100 during this period.
Conclusions
During the study period, the topics related to mental health and the speciality of psychiatry remained constant, with some fluctuating, but not outstanding variations.

Objective
To determine the factors associated with the presence of depressive symptoms in the Peruvian pregnant population using the Demographic and Family Health Survey ENDES 2018–2019.
Material and methods
A secondary base analysis of the ENDES 2018 and 2019 was carried out. The PHQ-9 instrument was used to evaluate depressive symptoms. Standardized questions were used to measure the history of violence. In the multi-variable model, Poisson regression was used, the crude PR was calculated and adjusted with 95% CI, the variables entered the model according to statistical criteria.
Results
The prevalence of depressive symptoms in pregnant women was 6.8%. There was 19.7% of pregnant women who expressed having had a history of general violence. An association was found with said antecedent (PRa 3.8, 95% CI = 1.6; 8.8, p = 0.002), the presence of some type of disability (PRa = 9.4, 95% CI = 1.8; 50.1, p = 0.01) and the number of children (PRa = 1.5, 95% CI = 1.0; 2.2, p = 0.03). Respondents who wanted to wait longer to get pregnant were 5.1 times the prevalence of depressive symptoms compared to those who wanted to get pregnant at that time (p < 0.001). There was no significant association between the rest of the variables and the outcome.
Conclusion
The present study showed that a history of general violence, the presence of some type of disability, the number of children and the waiting time to get pregnant are associated with depressive symptoms in pregnant women. More studies are required, especially of a longitudinal type.
目的利用人口与家庭健康调查ENDES(2018-2019)确定秘鲁孕妇抑郁症状的相关因素。材料与方法对ENDES 2018和2019进行二级碱基分析。采用PHQ-9量表评估抑郁症状。标准化的问题被用来衡量暴力的历史。在多变量模型中,采用泊松回归,计算粗PR并以95% CI进行校正,各变量按统计标准进入模型。结果孕妇抑郁症状患病率为6.8%。19.7%的孕妇表示有一般暴力史。研究发现,上述因素(PRa = 3.8, 95% CI = 1.6; 8.8, p = 0.002)、某种残疾的存在(PRa = 9.4, 95% CI = 1.8; 50.1, p = 0.01)和子女数量(PRa = 1.5, 95% CI = 1.0; 2.2, p = 0.03)与上述因素有关。与当时想要怀孕的受访者相比,想要等待更长时间怀孕的受访者抑郁症状的患病率为5.1倍(p < 0.001)。其他变量与结果之间没有显著的关联。结论一般暴力史、某种残疾的存在、生育子女的数量和等待怀孕的时间与孕妇的抑郁症状有关。需要更多的研究,特别是纵向研究。

Introduction
Pediatric mental problems have been increasing, especially after COVID-19, which led to reduced active play. In childhood and adolescence, active play has been recognized as a protective factor against psychopathology.
Objective
To determine the association between gambling and internalizing or externalizing symptoms in children and adolescents.
Material and methods
Cross-sectional analytical observational study, with a sample of 1533 children and adolescents, between six and 18 years of age in the city of Manizales, during the second semester of 2021. The Child Behavior Checklist 6-18 (CBCL/6-18) and inquired about hobbies and active play, where bivariate analyzes were performed.
Results
69.4% of those surveyed are fond of art and 12.0% of sports. 46.37% presented significant symptoms in the CBCL. Statistically significant negative correlations were found between active gaming and the presence of symptoms in all CBCL domains, as well as a positive correlation between alterations in mental health and the use of video games.
Conclusions
Active play is a behavior related to child and adolescent mental health, which is why it should be investigated and promoted from the first levels of health care.

Background
The substances most used by adolescents are alcohol, tobacco and cannabis. In Colombia, the use of these substances begins at increasingly younger ages. This early onset could be due to multiple factors, including impulsivity.
Objective
Analyze the relationship between traits and levels of impulsivity, and alcohol consumption in 14-year-old adolescents attending school in the department of Córdoba, Colombia.
Method
Two hundred and fifty-four 14-year-old school-age teenagers from the city of Montería (Colombia) reported drug use and completed three evaluations on impulsivity, one for self-report (BIS-11-A) and two behavioral tasks (Stroop test and delay discounting).
Results
There is a significant relationship between different measures of impulsivity (levels and traits) and alcohol consumption in adolescents. In general, adolescents who consumed alcohol in the last year had higher scores on unplanned impulsivity than those who did not. Under these same conditions, it was found that women showed more cognitive impulsivity than men, and men showed more unplanned impulsivity than others of the same sex. No significant differences were found by sex in the prevalence of year of use or in the age of initiation of alcohol consumption (12 years).
Conclusions
Alcohol onset is of increasingly earlier onset regardless of gender. Different traits of impulsivity are related to adolescent alcohol consumption. Female alcohol users show higher levels of cognitive impulsivity and male alcohol users higher levels of unplanned impulsivity.

Objective
There is scarce evidence of the impact of delirium on the post-ICU outcomes of critically ill patients. This study assessed the effect of delirium on cognitive function, functionality, and quality of life after three months from discharge in critically ill patients.
Methods
A nested case–control study was realized from April to September 2018. The prevalence of delirium and its association with mortality was assessed, and the alterations in cognition, functionality, and quality of life in survivors of critical illness three months after discharge from the ICU.
Results
81 patients were included and evaluated with the CAM-ICU; 43 were defined as cases. The prevalence of delirium was 26%, and the mortality of patients with and without delirium was 35.4% vs. 10%, respectively. In the follow-up, the delirium group showed lower scores in the MMSE (p < 0.01), with a specific decline in the subdomains of orientation, calculation, and language/praxis compared with the control group. The delirium group showed a decreased score in the SF-36, with a significant decline in social function, emotional role, and mental health (p < 0.05). There were no differences observed in functionality measured by the PGC-IADL.
Conclusions
Education strategies are required to increase delirium awareness in ICU teams. Support from a mental health interdisciplinary team is needed to guide the preventive and rehabilitation interventions for post-ICU patients.

Introduction
Ayahuasca is a psychotropic beverage from South America, derived from Banisteriopsis caapi and Psychotria viridis. The beverage contains alkaloids such as β-carbolines and dimethyltryptamine (DMT), which alter the psychoactive functions associated with perception and thought processes. Its consumption in the countries of origin, such as Brazil, Colombia, and Peru, is prevalent. Its use has been popularized worldwide, especially in the European Union and North America, where the ayahuasca samples are introduced from South America.
Objective
This article presents the case report of a Mexican ayahuasca user with clinical symptoms of poisoning.
Clinical case
A 24-year-old man, habitual consumer of ayahuasca, arrived at emergency room presenting cognitive decline and a fluctuating course of delirium, stupor, and disorientation. The patient's blood samples were compared using HPLC/ESI-MS/MS with the extract consumed, with other traditional Colombian ayahuasca samples, and with standard chemicals, aiming to determine whether the components of ayahuasca were present in the patient's blood. The same blood sample was subjected to a bioinformatics analysis (KNIME 4.4.2-version, based on OpenMS) to detect other drugs probably consumed by the patient.
Conclusions
The principal components of ayahuasca in the blood sample were identified: DMT, harmaline, harmine, harmol, bufotenine, and tetrahydro harmine. In addition, other narcotic drugs, such as 11-nor-9-carboxy-Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol, amphetamine, and norcocaine, were also detected. The poisoning can be associated with ayahuasca consumption and its interaction with other drugs.
