Mental health of unaccompanied refugee minors in Europe: A systematic review.

Background: Nearly half of the refugee and asylum seeking population in Europe is under the age of 18, and many of these individuals are unaccompanied children and adolescents.

Objective: The aim of this systematic review is both to summarize findings regarding the prevalence of mental health disorders among unaccompanied refugee minors (URM) in European countries since the last available systematic review (October 2017), and to describe associated risk factors.

Methods: Five databases were systematically searched for articles published between October 1, 2017 and May 1, 2022.

Perampanel-Induced Psychosis in a Young Woman: A Case Report.

Objectives: A case of perampanel-induced psychosis in a young woman is reported, a side effect that has only rarely been reported in the literature.

Methods: We describe a case of a young woman with epilepsy and no psychiatric history with perampanel-associated altered behavior and psychotic symptoms, requiring hospitalization in an acute psychiatry ward. We also provide a literature review on the possible neurobiological pathways implicated.

Bipolar disorder and Susac syndrome: a case report.

Susac-syndrome is a rare autoimmune disease that manifests with mood alterations in up to 15% of cases and is usually treated with corticosteroids. We present the case of a 41-year-old woman with a first manic episode and history of Susac-syndrome, secondary Cushing's syndrome after receiving high doses of corticosteroids and a previous depressive episode. Differentiating between primary and secondary mania is difficult, as people with bipolar disorder are prone to multiple psychiatric and nonpsychiatric comorbidities, in this case, the differential diagnosis included secondary mania, corticoid-induced manic episode and primary bipolar disorder.
