Course and Predictors of DSM-5 Somatic Symptom Disorder in Patients with Vertigo and Dizziness Symptoms – a Longitudinal Study
Background: Somatic symptom disorder (SSD) is a diagnosis that was newly included in DSM-5. Currently, data on the course of SSD is largely lacking. The present study aimed to evaluate the natural course of SSD in a one-year follow-up study in patients with vertigo and dizziness (VD) symptoms.Methods: We investigated n=239 outpatients presenting in a tertiary care neurological setting over a one-year period. Patients had a medical examination at baseline and completed self-report questionnaires, which were re-assessed after 12months. (Source: Comprehensive Psychiatry)

Trauma Type as a Conditional Risk Factor for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in a Referred Clinic Sample of Adolescents
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), by definition, can only be diagnosed in individuals who have been exposed to a qualifying trauma according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition [1,2]. Trauma type is an overarching category for a wide range of individual traumatic events that are precipitants of the syndrome [3]. Epidemiological data, predominantly from the USA, indicate that adolescence is the developmental period that carries the highest risk of exposure to potentially traumatic events [4,5], with traumatic occurrences peaking between 16 and 20years of age [4].

Insomnia in adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: a comparison with borderline personality disorder population in a clinical setting and control participants
Many adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) report sleeping difficulties. The relationship between sleep and ADHD is poorly understood, and shows discrepancies between subjective and objective measures. In order to determine the specificity of sleep-associated symptoms in ADHD, subjective sleep assessments among ADHD adult patients were compared with control subjects and with individuals suffering from borderline personality disorder (BPD).

Effect of childhood trauma on cognitive functions in a sample of Chinese patients with schizophrenia
In this study, we aimed to determine the influence of various types of childhood trauma (CT) on cognitive functions in Chinese patients presented with schizophrenia. One hundred sixty-two patients were assessed with the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form (CTQ-SF) and Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS). We investigated the correlations between various types of CT, demographic characteristics, and cognitive functions. Significant negative correlations were observed in physical abuse (PA) and sexual abuse (SA) with the language score (r= −0.190, −0.216, respectively, p (Sourc...

Judgment of moral and social transgression in schizophrenia
Despite evidence of pervasive social-cognitive deficits in schizophrenia, little is known of moral cognition in this population. While recent research indicates that impairment of explicit moral reasoning is explained by these individuals' other cognitive deficits, their capacities for basic moral judgment are unknown.

The protective effect of character maturity in child aggressive antisocial behavior
Aggressive and antisocial behavior in children and young adults is one of the strongest predictor of mental health problems and criminal behavior in adulthood (e.g. [1] Huessman et al., 2002; [2] Gelhorn et al., 2007; [3] Hofvander et al. 2009, [4] Mordre et al. 2011, [5] Falk et al. 2014). The important question in the context of research in this area is the need to develop selection criteria to identify children and adolescents most likely to continue their anti-social behavior as adults.

Delineating the joint hierarchical structure of clinical and personality disorders in an outpatient psychiatric sample
We examined the convergence between top-down (bass-ackwards or sequential principal components analysis) and bottom-up (hierarchical agglomerative cluster analysis) statistical methods for elucidating hierarchies to explicate the joint hierarchical structure of clinical and personality disorders.

Lifetime presence of psychotic symptoms in Bipolar Disorder is associated with less favorable socio-demographic and certain clinical features
The presence of psychotic symptoms in Bipolar Disorder (BD) is considered a feature of higher severity of illness and, in particular, of manic episodes in bipolar I disorder (BD I). However, the possibility to apply the “with psychotic features” specifier to major depressive episodes in either bipolar II disorder (BD II) or BD I highlights the need for additional research in this area.
