Objective: In order to clarify the lifetime likelihood of developing psychiatric disorder following the Akureyri disease, we have investigated 55 well documented cases of the Akureyri disease.
Materials And Methods: All participants were interviewed and diagnosed as to psychiatric disorders according to DSM-III.
Results: Of the 55 subjects included in this analysis 53 were women. The mean age of the participants was 67.7 years. The most common problem was agoraphobia with panic attacks 12.7% (P < 0.0001); agoraphobia without panic attacks 21.8% (P < 0.0001); social phobia 14.5% (P < 0.001); simple phobia 18.1% (P < 0.05); schizophrenia 3.6% (P < 0.01); and alcohol dependence 5.4% (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Prolonged chronic fatigue most commonly results in anxiety disorders. Following the infection, the more serious psychiatric disorders do not seem to play a major role in the long run.

Accurate and early diagnosis of Depression and Anxiety is met with the challenge of comorbid presentations and the neglect of the basic disturbances of self in current diagnostic criteria. Here, we review studies employing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with self-based tasks in major depressive disorder (MDD) and anxiety disorders (AD) to determine the transdiagnostic and differential-diagnostic applicability of neural markers related to the self. This systematic review identified three main findings: (I) Large-scale brain-wide changes related to self-dysfunction overlap significantly between MDD and AD.

Background: The relationship between age-related eye diseases and the subsequent risk of dementia and depressive disorders remains inconsistent. Furthermore, the effects on anxiety disorders and sleep disorders have been underexplored. This study aims to comprehensively examine the impact of age-related eye diseases on common mental disorders in older adults, thereby enhancing our understanding of the mental health implications in these conditions.
