Collaborative Outcomes Study on Health and Functioning During Infection Times (COH-FIT): Global and Risk-Group Stratified Course of Well-Being and Mental Health During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Adolescents.

Objective: To identify the COVID-19 pandemic impact on well-being/mental health, coping strategies, and risk factors in adolescents worldwide.

Method: This study was based on an anonymous online multi-national/multi-language survey in the general population (representative/weighted non-representative samples, 14-17 years of age), measuring change in well-being (World Health Organization-Five Well-Being Index [WHO-5]/range = 0-100) and psychopathology (validated composite P-score/range = 0-100), WHO-5 <50 and <29, pre- vs during COVID-19 pandemic (April 26, 2020-June 26, 2022). Coping strategies and 9 a priori- defined individual/cumulative risk factors were measured.

Developmental Profile of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Versus Social Communication Disorder: A Pilot Study.

Background: Social Communication Disorder (SCD), introduced in the DSM-5, is distinguished from Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) by the absence of restricted and repetitive behaviors or interests (RRBIs).

Aim: To compare the adaptive, sensory, communication, and cognitive profiles of children with ASD and SCD.

Methods: The assessments of nine children with SCD and ten with ASD were compared with either Fisher's Exact Test or the Mann-Whitney Test.

Hair cortisol concentrations across pregnancy and maternal postpartum depressive symptoms - The ELFE cohort.

Postpartum depression and depressive symptoms have a major impact on maternal and infant health and well-being, yet to date their aetiology remains unclear. One hypothesis suggests a link between these symptoms and variations in prenatal cortisol levels, but existing evidence is limited and inconclusive. This study aims to provide additional evidence to disentangle the relationship between prenatal cortisol concentrations and subsequent occurrence of postpartum depressive symptoms.

Psychometric properties of the French Infant-Toddler Working Alliance Inventory Short version (IT-WAI-S).

Objective: Therapeutic alliance has been little investigated in infant and toddler therapy, with no tools specifically adapted to this population. However, we have developed the Infant-Toddler Working Alliance Inventory-Short form (IT-WAI-S) which is based on the Working Alliance Inventory. The aim of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of this original French tool, in its two versions: for parent (IT-WAI-SP) and for therapist (IT-WAI-STh).

Psychoeducation for Pathologic Narcissism and Narcissistic Personality Disorder: A Review and Proposal for a Good Psychiatric Management-based Six-week Group Program.

Pathologic narcissism (PN) and narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) are 2 common and stigmatized clinical constructs that are known to have large consequences for patients' functioning and mental health-related outcomes. To date, no treatment for these conditions has been empirically validated, but there is a relative consensus about the importance of psychoeducation. Here we present a model for a psychoeducational intervention for patients with PN or NPD.

Evaluation of a medically coordinated care program in the management of autism.

Unlabelled: Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are neurodevelopmental disorders of varying intensity and disability. The reference health strategy in France for the care of young children with autism is day care hospital (DCH). As the number of places in DCH is insufficient, medically coordinated care programs by the mental health consultation centers (MHCC) are being developed in response.

Relationship between social cognition and emotional markers and acoustic-verbal hallucination in youth with post-traumatic stress disorder: Protocol for a prospective, 2-year, longitudinal case-control study.

Introduction: Auditory-verbal hallucinatory experiences (AVH) have a 12% prevalence in the general pediatric population. Literature reports a higher risk of developing AVH in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The persistence of AVHs during adolescence represents a risk of evolution into psychotic disorders.

Association between pathological narcissism and emotion regulation: The role of self-mentalizing?

Pathological narcissism (PN) is a common psychopathological issue leading to maladaptive strategies to cope with self-esteem threats, including self-enhancement and exploitation (grandiose strategies) or internalized shame, depression, and social withdrawal (vulnerable strategies). Mentalizing is a key process for regulating self and other representations and their associated emotions. Patients with PN further struggle with emotion dysregulation (ED), which during development is intertwined with the growing capacity to mentalize.

Somatic and Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms in Children and Adolescents in France.

Importance: Somatic symptoms are a major concern among the pediatric population because of frequency and burden. The association between adverse childhood experiences and somatic symptoms in adults is well established but less is known concerning somatic symptoms in young people.

Objective: To explore the frequency and intensity of somatic symptoms in children and adolescents exposed to traumatic events.

Assisted reproductive technologies could be associated with higher risk of parenting difficulties in women with postpartum major depression.

No increased risk of postpartum major depression (PPMD) was reported in women conceiving through assisted reproductive technologies (ART). However, ART may be associated with a higher risk of parenting difficulties in women with PPMD. In 359 women with a PPMD admitted to a Mother-Baby Unit (MBU), ART-women (4.

[Formula: see text] PENDAH program for parents with children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. French adaptation of a behavioral parent training group: pilot study.

Behavioral parent training (BPT) is recognized as an effective part of the care offered to children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The aim of this pilot study was to objectively examine the effect that this intervention may have on motor activity, in addition to the measures classically found in this type of study. Parents of 24 school-aged children (6-12 year) with ADHD who met eligibility criteria were enrolled in the study.

Cardiac and metabolic safety profile of antipsychotics in youths: A WHO safety database analysis.

A significant heterogeneity prevails in antipsychotics (APs) safety monitoring recommendations. Youths are deemed more vulnerable to cardiometabolic side effects. We aimed to assess age-dependent reporting of cardiac and metabolic disorders in youths, relying on the WHO safety database (VigiBase®).

Proposition of a transdiagnostic processual approach of emotion dysregulation based on core triggers and interpersonal styles.

Emotion dysregulation (ED) has primarily been described in patients suffering from borderline personality disorder (BPD) and is an integral part of this diagnosis, but it is also a transdiagnostic construct that can be found in several other psychiatric disorders. The strong relationships between ED and BPD may lead clinicians to underestimate ED associated to other clinical contexts. This can lead to difficulties in diagnostic and treatment orientation, especially in the context of comorbidities.

French Society for Biological Psychiatry and Neuropsychopharmacology and French-speaking Marcé Society guidelines for the management of mood disorders in women before, during, and after pregnancy.

Purpose: The French Society for Biological Psychiatry and Neuropsychopharmacology and the French-speaking Marcé Society have joined forces to establish expert recommendations on the prescription of psychotropic drugs before, during, and after pregnancy in women with major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder (BD).

Methods: To elaborate recommendations, we used the RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method, which combines scientific evidence and expert clinicians' opinions. A written survey was completed by 48 psychiatrists, who have expertise in the management of mood disorders and/or in perinatal psychiatry.

Introduction: Approximately 4%-5% of mothers develop childbirth-related post-traumatic stress disorder (CB-PTSD) and approximately 12.3% of mothers develop some CB-PTSD symptoms (CB-PTSS). To date, there is a dearth of studies on fathers and other coparents.

Impact of paternal psychiatric disorders on parents-baby separation after mother-baby unit care.

Background: Paternal mental health may have an impact on parenthood especially in case of maternal postpartum severe psychiatric illness.

Objective: The aim of this study was to search for an association between paternal psychiatric disorder and parents-baby separation after a maternal joint hospitalization for a severe postpartum psychiatric episode.

Participants And Settings: In an observational, naturalist and multicentric study, 787 fathers whose partner was hospitalized in a mother-baby unit were included.

Social determinants in prenatal antidepressant use and continuation: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Depression is one of the most common co-morbidities during pregnancy; with severe symptoms, antidepressants are sometimes recommended. Social determinants are often linked with antidepressant use in the general population, and it is not known if this is the case for pregnant populations. Our objective was to determine if social determinants are associated with prenatal antidepressant intake via a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Early-onset schizophrenia: studying the links between cognitive and clinical dimensions.

Background: Early-onset schizophrenia (EOS), a rare and severe chronic psychiatric condition, is defined by an onset of schizophrenia symptoms before the age of 18. Core symptoms also include cognitive impairments. However, little is known about links between psychiatric symptoms of EOS and cognitive abilities.

Case reports: Using Good Psychiatric Management (GPM) conceptualizations in the dimensional assessment and treatment of personality disorders.

Good Psychiatric Management (GPM) is a generalist clinical management approach for borderline personality disorder that incorporates common ingredients of good standard care for any psychiatric diagnosis with what works from prevailing specialist psychotherapies. Similar to all validated therapies for BPD, it relies on a specified formulation of the disorder' symptoms as arising from , to dynamically describe typical patterns of daily self- and interpersonal issues that drive the instability that defines the general personality dysfunction characteristic of the disorder. Recent adaptations of GPM have been proposed for narcissistic personality disorder and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, with development of similar dynamic models for both ( and ).

Epigenome-Wide Associations of Placental DNA Methylation and Behavioral and Emotional Difficulties in Children at 3 Years of Age.

The placenta is a key organ for fetal and brain development. Its epigenome can be regarded as a biochemical record of the prenatal environment and a potential mechanism of its association with the future health of the fetus. We investigated associations between placental DNA methylation levels and child behavioral and emotional difficulties, assessed at 3 years of age using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) in 441 mother-child dyads from the EDEN cohort.
