- Childhood traumatic events, particularly childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and physical abuse (CPA), are prevalent among patients with social anxiety disorder (SAD), affecting their mental health and sexual function.
- The study analyzed data from 113 SAD patients and found 45.1% reported CPA, while 14.2% reported CSA; co-occurring depression was noted in 30.1% of these individuals.
- CSA and co-occurring depression were identified as strong risk factors for sexual dysfunction in SAD patients, highlighting the importance of addressing these issues in treatment.
Article Abstract
Background: Childhood traumatic events are known as developmental factors for various psychiatric disorders.
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of childhood sexual and physical abuse (CSA/CPA), and co-morbid depression on sexual functions in patients with social anxiety disorder (SAD).
Method: Data obtained from 113 SAD patients was analysed. Childhood traumatic experiences were evaluated using the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, and the Arizona Sexual Experience Scale was used for the evaluation of the sexual functions. The data from interviews performed with SCID-I were used for determination of Axis I diagnosis. The Beck Anxiety Scale, Beck Depression Scale and Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale were administered to each patient.
Results: History of childhood physical abuse (CPA) was present in 45.1% of the SAD patients, and 14.2% had a history of childhood sexual abuse (CSA). Depression co-diagnosis was present in 30.1% of SAD patients and 36.3% had sexual dysfunction. History of CSA and depression co-diagnosis were determined as two strong predictors in SAD patients (odds ratio (OR) for CSA, 7.83; 95% CI, 1.97-31.11; p = 0.003 and OR for depression, 3.66; 95% CI, 1.47-9.13; p = 0.005).
Conclusions: CSA and depression should be considered and questioned as an important factor for SAD patients who suffer from sexual dysfunction.

Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is typically associated with winter; however, its less common variant, summertime depression, presents with depressive episodes during the summer months. We report a case of a 46-year-old male patient with recurrent summertime depressive episodes characterized by low mood, fatigue, anhedonia, insomnia, and loss of appetite, each resolving with the onset of the winter season. Our patient's history of summertime depression aligned with the atypical SAD symptoms, including irritability and weight loss, commonly associated with non-seasonal depression.

Background And Aims: Both operating table height and patient level in relation to the anesthesiologist influence supraglottic airway device (SAD) insertion and task performance in terms of physical and mental workload. The aim of the study was to find out the appropriate table height during SAD insertion in terms of time taken for insertion, success rate, ease of insertion, and anesthesiologist comfort.
Material And Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, 90 American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I and II patients, aged between 18 and 60 years, scheduled for elective surgery were recruited.

Mental Health Center and Psychiatric Laboratory, the State Key Laboratory of Biotherapy, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, No. 37 GuoXue Xiang, Chengdu, 610041, P. R. China.
Background: The high comorbidity and symptom overlap of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and social anxiety disorder (SAD), has led to the study of their shared and disorder-specific neural substrates. However, the morphometric similarity network (MSN) differences among these disorders remain unknown.
Methods: MSN derived from T1-weighted images in patients of GAD, PTSD, and SAD, and health controls (HC) using a Siemens 3T magnetic resonance imaging system.
