Phenomenology of auto-induced cognitive trance using text mining: a prospective and exploratory group study.

Auto-induced cognitive trance (AICT) is a modified state of consciousness derived from shamanic tradition that can be practised by individuals after specific training. The aim of this work was to characterize the phenomenological experiences of AICT, using text mining analysis. Free recalls of subjective experiences were audio-recorded in 27 participants after five pseudo-randomized experimental sessions: ordinary conscious resting state, with auditory stimulation and with an imaginary mental task, as well as during AICT with and without auditory stimulation.

Caregiver burden during psychiatric hospitalisation: A multi-centre, longitudinal study.

What Is Known About The Subject: Caring for a family member with a mental illness induces a burden on the caregiver, an impact on their quality of life and premature ageing of more than ten years.

What The Paper Adds To Existing Knowledge: We conducted systematised and individualised nursing interviews with family members, on the first days of a relative's hospitalisation, during hospitalisation and three months after discharge. We observed persistent depressive symptoms during and after hospitalisation.

Neuropsychological functioning of homeless people in Paris: An exploratory study.

Homelessness is a multifactorial issue, influenced by structural and individual factors. These factors include health status, which has been reported to be poorer among people experiencing homelessness. Although the somatic and mental health of homeless individuals has already been studied in France, to our knowledge, no research has been conducted on neuropsychological functioning in this country.

Real world transcranial magnetic stimulation for major depression: A multisite, naturalistic, retrospective study.

[Caregiver burden: From recognition to care].

The burden of caregivers of patients with chronic diseases has been the subject of research for several years, but few studies have focused on the suffering of family members from the time of their first hospitalization in psychiatry. The identification of the determinants of this burden would allow us to propose early management aimed at improving the well-being of the patients' family and friends and maximizing intra-family resources.
