[The Hungarian adaptation of the Mental Health Quality of Life Questionnaire (MHQoL)].

Unlabelled: Our study presents the Hungarian adaptation of the Mental Health Quality of Life Questionnaire (MHQoL).

Background: In recent decades, there has been a shift in the field of healthcare, with a notable change in the ultimate goal of health interventions. Rather than merely reducing symptoms and prolonging life, the objective of health interventions is now to improve quality of life.

Burden of Mental Health among Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease-A Cross-Sectional Study from a Tertiary IBD Center in Hungary.

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are chronic conditions that negatively affect the patient's quality of life. With the spread of the biopsychosocial model, the role of mental health in the activity and course of inflammatory bowel disease is becoming more and more recognized. Our study aimed to assess the prevalence of anxiety and depression in IBD patients in our tertiary referral center and determine the predictive factors of these mental conditions.

Non-binary gender, vulnerable populations and mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic: Data from the COVID-19 MEntal health inTernational for the general population (COMET-G) study.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought significant mental health challenges, particularly for vulnerable populations, including non-binary gender individuals. The COMET international study aimed to investigate specific risk factors for clinical depression or distress during the pandemic, also in these special populations.

Methods: Chi-square tests were used for initial screening to select only those variables which would show an initial significance.

Somatic multicomorbidity and disability in patients with psychiatric disorders in comparison to the general population: a quasi-epidemiological investigation in 54,826 subjects from 40 countries (COMET-G study).

Background: The prevalence of medical illnesses is high among patients with psychiatric disorders. The current study aimed to investigate multi-comorbidity in patients with psychiatric disorders in comparison to the general population. Secondary aims were to investigate factors associated with metabolic syndrome and treatment appropriateness of mental disorders.

[Intensive cognitive behavioral group therapy for the treatment of panic disorder].

Introduction: Panic disorder is one of the most commonly occurring emotional disorder, showing increased prevalence rates since the COVID-19 pandemic. The ever-growing number of patients in need of treatment is a heavy burden on the healthcare system, which draws attention to the importance of low-intensity, short and effective psychological interventions in the treatment of mental disorders, especially in the field of primary care. According to international guidelines, the recommended evidence-based treatment of panic disorder is cognitive behavioral therapy, which is based on the cognitive model of panic disorder.

Association between Lifestyle- and Circadian Rhythm-Related Changes, and Different Depression Symptom Clusters during COVID-19.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic brought along a new situation for the population worldwide. The most important safety measures and lockdown expected extreme adaptability and flexibility impacting mental well-being. The aim of our study was to identify associations between changes in lifestyle and circadian rhythm and depression during the pandemic.

Invisible wounds: Suturing the gap between the neurobiology, conventional and emerging therapies for posttraumatic stress disorder.

A sharp increase in the prevalence of neuropsychiatric disorders, including major depression, anxiety, substance use disorders and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has occurred due to the traumatic nature of the persisting COVID-19 global pandemic. PTSD is estimated to occur in up to 25% of individuals following exposure to acute or chronic trauma, and the pandemic has inflicted both forms of trauma on much of the population through both direct physiological attack as well as an inherent upheaval to our sense of safety. However, despite significant advances in our ability to define and apprehend the effects of traumatic events, the neurobiology and neuroanatomical circuitry of PTSD, one of the most severe consequences of traumatic exposure, remains poorly understood.

What you see is what you get? Association of belief in conspiracy theories and mental health during COVID-19.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic brought about great uncertainty and significant changes in our people's everyday lives. In times of such crises, it is natural to seek explanations to overcome our fears and uncertainties, contributing to an increase to believe in conspiracy theories which, by yielding explanations, decrease uncertainty and ambiguity and may thus have an effect on mental well-being. In spite of this, the majority of research on conspiracy theories focused on their social effects with little attention to psychological effects.

Semantic systems are mentalistically activated for and by social partners.

A recently discovered electrophysiological response, the social N400, suggests that we use our language system to track how social partners comprehend language. Listeners show an increased N400 response, when themselves not, only a communicative partner experiences a semantic incongruity. Does the N400 reflect purely semantic or mentalistic computations as well? Do we attribute language comprehension to communicative partners using our semantic systems? In five electrophysiological experiments we identified two subcomponents of the social N400.

[Effects of COVID-19 on psychological well-being, lifestyle and attitudes towards the origins of the pandemic in psychiatric patients and mentally healthy subjects: fi rst Hungarian descriptive results from a large international online study].

The COVID-2019 pandemic has presented a new situation affecting not only the somatic but the mental health of people worldwide and exposing the world including healthcare professionals to a challenge never experienced before. Therefore its effects on mental health, although can be estimated, but cannot be predicted, thus we are only halfways prepared for understanding as well as screening, preventing and treating the pandemic-related mental health problems. For this reason, the Mental Health Sector of the Scientific Researches Institute of the Pan-Hellenic Medical Association prepared a large, international online, general population study with participation from over 42 countries, assessing various aspects of general mental function, needs and behaviors that could occur during the COVID-19 outbreak, as a result of either the outbreak itself or the social measures adopted in order to control it.
