BACKGROUND: Although emotional difficulties are amongst the core deficits of individuals with anorexia nervosa, little is known about the specific emotional functioning. Therefore, this study used an integrative approach to examine the emotional skills of adolescents and young adults suffering from compared with healthy controls. METHODS: We compared the emotional skills of 32 females, aged between 14 and 35, with acute anorexia nervosa with 45 female healthy controls. In particular, we examined alexithymia (awareness and identification of their own emotions) using the TAS-20, the capacity for identifying basic emotions expressed dynamically using a computerised morphing task, the capacity for identifying complex emotions using the Reading the Mind in the Eyes task, and nine different strategies of cognitive emotion regulation using the CERQ. RESULT S: Participants with anorexia nervosa displayed higher levels of alexithymia. Both groups were able to recognise basic and complex emotions in others; however, participants with anorexia nervosa displayed higher sensitivity in identifying anger, disgust, sadness and surprise in others. Moreover, participants with anorexia nervosa reported use of specific emotion regulation strategies in comparison with healthy controls (“acceptance” and “rumination” more so than the emotion regulation strategies of “positive refocusing”, “catastrophising”, and “blaming others”). CONCLUSION: Our findings document a distinct pattern of emotional functioning of individuals with anorexia nervosa compared with (difficulties in ability to recognise their own emotions, hypersensitivity to certain emotions in others and use of certain cognitive emotion regulation strategies) even if no general deficits could be identified. These results highlight the importance of considering the specific dimensions of the emotional (dys)functioning of anorexia nervosa in multimodal treatment approaches. Full article

The complex relationship between epilepsy and sleep has been early recognised based on behavioural studies showing that the majority of epileptic seizures occur during sleep. In particular, during NREM (slow wave) sleep, neuronal circuits oscillate between their active and inactive state, facilitating epileptic discharges. Conversely, epileptic activity during sleep can disrupt the physiological sleep microstructure and sleep architecture, and may cause sleep deprivation and daytime sleepiness, which further enhances seizure probability. Besides this mutual interaction, the clinical differentiation between epileptic and non-epileptic events during sleep can be very challenging. In this article, we aim to give an overview of the intertwined relationship between sleep and epilepsy, discuss the differential diagnosis between epileptic and non-epileptic nocturnal episodes and give insights to novel techniques of sleep modulation to treat epilepsy.

On the forensic-psychiatric relevance of Asperger’s syndrome Based on the case of a violent offender with Asperger's syndrome, the typi¬cal issues in criminal forensic psychiatric assessment and the diagnostic challenges in the context of autistic disorders, especially with regard to the differentiation from personality disorders, are presented. The case study makes it clear that the disorder can contribute to acts of violence if early di¬agnosis and appropriate developmental support are not provided. Adequate support for those affected is of crucial importance (also in terms of criminal prognosis). Full article

Aripiprazole depot in everyday treatment of schizophrenia: functionality and quality of life INTRODUCTION: Real-world studies are an important complement to randomised, placebo-controlled trials. Functionality and health-related quality of life are important endpoints for patients, which go beyond the absence of symptoms. METHODS: Here, we consider in a narrative review real-world studies in which patients with schizophrenia were treated with aripiprazole depot and functionality and/or quality of life were recorded as endpoints. RESULTS: A literature search found eight articles on relevant studies. The functionality and/or quality of life of the patients improved significantly and to a clinically relevant extent in these studies. CONCLUSION: Aripiprazole depot can improve functionality and quality of life in patients with schizophrenia in everyday treatment Full article

Non-suicidal behaviour and suicidal behaviour in adolescence. Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and suicidal behaviour are widespread phenomena, especially in adolescence. This article provides an overview of the clinical criteria for, and diagnostic symptoms of, these behaviours as well as possible explanations (“gateway theory”; “third variable theory”; “theory of acquired capability for suicide”) for the well-established connections between NSSI and suicidal behaviour. Furthermore, the role of NSSI as a visible risk marker for the identification of adolescents with mental health problems or an increased risk of suicide is discussed and existing population-based screening procedures (Columbia Suicide Screen; ProfScreen) are explained. Particularly during the sensitive period of adolescence, the identification of adolescents at risk and the increase of help-seeking behaviour plays an important role in order to prevent chronification of NSSI and suicidal behavior and to buffer negative effects on mental health and psychosocial functioning.
