[Short- and long-term effects of yoga on mental health: relaxation, mindfulness, positive energy, and transcendence].

The beneficial effects of yoga have been researched for decades, and in many countries it is also used in health care to maintain physical and mental health. Its effectiveness in the treatment of stress and anxiety, as well as in achieving a relaxed state, is supported by numerous studies. In the present research, our aim was to investigate the direct and subclinical effects of yoga on participants practicing it at least 10 minutes a day for two weeks.

"This is not life, this is just vegetation"-Lived experiences of long-term care in Europe's largest psychiatric home: An interpretative phenomenological analysis.

Purpose: Understanding the experiences of long-term care (LTC) may help to improve care by assisting mental health professionals and allowing mental health policies to be customized more effectively. DESIGN AND METHODS: Semistructured interviews were analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA).

Findings: Three main themes emerged as a result: 1.

The paradoxical role of insight in mental illness: The experience of stigma and shame in schizophrenia, mood disorders, and anxiety disorders.

This study examined the factor structure of the Hungarian version of the Birchwood Insight Scale (BIS) and analyzed its association with socio-demographics, diagnosis, internalized stigma, and shame using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with covariates. Mentally ill patients (N = 200) completed self-report questionnaires. CFA supported a two-factor structure.

Different Death Attitudes in Internalizing Symptom Context Among Norwegian and Turkish Women.

Rumination in major depressive and bipolar disorder - a meta-analysis.

Background: rumination, defined as repetitive thoughts about emotionally relevant experiences, has been linked extensively with mood disorders, especially major depressive disorder (MDD). However, there is a growing body of evidence suggesting the importance of rumination in bipolar disorder (BD) as well.

Methods: we searched for studies that investigated rumination in both BD and MDD in four databases.

Targeting the problem of treatment non-adherence among mentally ill patients: The impact of loss, grief and stigma.

The present study examined the factor structure of the Hungarian version of the Medication Adherence Rating Scale (MARS) and analyzed its association with socio-demographics, insight, internalized stigma, and the experience of loss and grief as a result of the mental illness diagnosis, using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with a series of one covariates at a time. Mentally ill patients (N=200) completed self-report questionnaires. CFA supported the original three-factor structure although one item was moved from its original factor to another.

Perceived loss among people living with mental disorders: Validation of the personal loss from mental illness scale.

Objective: The development of mental illness often leads to pervasive losses in different areas of people's lives. However, previous research has tended to focus on the loss experienced by families while the examination of the loss experienced by individuals who are themselves coping with mental illness has been neglected. The present study tested the factor structure of the Hungarian version of the Personal Loss from Mental Illness (PLMI) scale, and analyzed its associations with age, gender, previous hospitalizations, marital status, loneliness, grief, and quality of life.

Comparison of the Relationship Between Death Anxiety and Depressive and Anxiety Symptoms Among Norwegian and Turkish Female Psychology Students.

Social rejection towards mentally ill people in Hungary between 2001 and 2015: Has there been any change?

Despite the improving mental health literacy of the public over recent years, people's attitudes towards people with the diagnosis of mental illness do not appeared to have changed. Long-term studies are scarce and mainly limited to Northwestern Europe. Given that no study has ever been carried out in Hungary, the present study examined attitudinal trends towards mentally ill people in the country, and evaluated its determinants using one item of the Social Distance Scale to assess social rejection towards others.

Converging Paradigms: A Reflection on Parallel Theoretical Developments in Psychoanalytic Metapsychology and Empirical Dream Research.

In the last decades one can perceive a striking parallelism between the shifting perspective of leading representatives of empirical dream research concerning their conceptualization of dreaming and the paradigm shift within clinically based psychoanalytic metapsychology with respect to its theory on the significance of dreaming. In metapsychology, dreaming becomes more and more a central metaphor of mental functioning in general. The theories of Klein, Bion, and Matte-Blanco can be considered as milestones of this paradigm shift.
