The psychopathological effects of the spread of the SARS-Cov-2 and the COVID-19 pandemic are mainly related to the preventive measures imposing a lockdown on the general population: anxiety disorders, sleep disorders, depression, addictions, post-traumatic stress disorder, symptoms of psychosis, etc. More specific categories of the population have been particularly exposed to the harmful psychological impact of this epidemic: caregivers, patients receiving mental health care, patients hospitalised for COVID-19 and their families. These psychopathological effects can be observed in France, and also abroad, notably in Spain.

Background: Eating disorders are frequently linked to protein-energy malnutrition, resulting from chronic energy intake reduction, and leading to reduced body weight and altered body composition. A nutritional approach based on the supplementation with a mixture of essential amino acids has proven effective in conditions characterized by reduced dietary intake and increased degradation of endogenous proteins and might also contribute to correct the amino acid deficiency possibly involved in the pathogenesis of eating disorders.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the effects of amino acid supplementation in conjunction with a standard psycho-nutritional rehabilitation program on body composition, symptoms and psychopathology status in 30 female patients with eating disorders hospitalized at the Residenza Palazzo Francisci in Todi, Italy.

Article Synopsis
  • Behavioural Parent Training (BPT) is an effective intervention for ADHD in children, and this study compares face-to-face training with an online version to see which format is more effective for parents.
  • The study involved 90 parents, with many preferring online training; however, a significant dropout rate left only 60 parents for the online analysis.
  • Results showed that face-to-face participants were more likely to implement certain parenting strategies, specifically the reward system, while no major differences were found in how parental ADHD symptoms influenced training format choice.

Article Synopsis
  • The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened psychological distress, with factors like childhood trauma and maladaptive personality traits contributing to mental health issues.
  • A study of 6,451 adults identified key connections between childhood trauma, maladaptive traits, and increased psychopathological symptoms, using self-reported measures and structural equation modeling.
  • Findings suggest that targeting emotion dysregulation and mentalizing may be beneficial in developing interventions to alleviate pandemic-related psychological distress, especially for those with childhood trauma and maladaptive traits.
