Article Synopsis
- About 10-20% of individuals facing the death of a loved one develop complicated or pathological grief, which can lead to long-lasting distress and social difficulties.
- Recent research indicates that the hormone oxytocin, known for its role in social bonding and emotional regulation, may play a significant role in these grief complications.
- The article proposes a neurocognitive model suggesting that issues with oxytocin signaling in the brain may hinder emotional recovery and bonding, offering potential insights for new treatments for complicated grief.
Background: We report the case of a patient presenting with orofacial tardive dyskinesia (TD), following administration of a first-generation antipsychotic (Loxapine).
Intervention: Four weeks of repeated sessions of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) protocols were administered, with TD hetero-quantified before and during each session via the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS).
Results: The dyskinesia ameliorated quantitatively and qualitatively (1) during each session, and (2) at resting conditions in the long term.
