Objective: To estimate the prevalence of chronic physical conditions, and the risk factors for those conditions, among those with 12 month mental disorder; to estimate the prevalence of 12 month mental disorder among those with chronic physical conditions. Method: A nationally representative face-to-face household survey was carried out in October 2003 to December 2004 with 12 992 participants aged 16 years and over, achieving a response rate of 73.3%. Mental disorders were measured with the World Mental Health version of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI 3.0). Physical conditions were self-reported. All associations are reported adjusted for age and sex. Results: People with (any) mental disorder, relative to those without mental disorder, had higher prevalences of several chronic physical conditions (chronic pain, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure and respiratory conditions) and chronic condition risk factors (smoking, overweight/obesity, hazardous alcohol use). Around a quarter of people with chronic physical conditions had a comorbid mental disorder compared with 15% of the population without chronic conditions. Significant relationships occurred between some mental disorders and obesity, cardiovascular disease and diabetes for females, but not for males. Conclusions: This paper provides evidence of substantial comorbidity between mental disorders and chronic physical conditions in New Zealand. This should be borne in mind by clinicians working in both mental health and medical services.

UNSTRUCTURED Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an on-going global health issue with many mental health consequences including stress, anxiety, depression and suicides. These are known to be associated with cardiovascular diseases which may adversely affect patients’ outcomes. As the pandemic progresses, the incidence of mental disorders with high-risk of cardiovascular disease also increases and this can negatively impact disease control of COVID-19 infection. There is an urgent need to break this vicious cycle to reduce the burden of COVID-19 disease.

AbstractClinical and epidemiological evidence suggest that loneliness is associated with severe mental disorders (SMDs) and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the mechanisms underlying the relationship between loneliness, SMDs, and CVD risk factors remain unknown. Here we explored overlapping genetic architecture and genetic loci shared between SMDs, loneliness, and CVD risk factors. We analyzed large independent genome-wide association study data on schizophrenia (SCZ), bipolar disorder (BD), major depression (MD), loneliness and CVD risk factors using bivariate causal mixture mode (MiXeR), which estimates the total amount of shared variants, and conditional false discovery rate to evaluate overlap in specific loci. We observed substantial genetic overlap between SMDs, loneliness and CVD risk factors, beyond genetic correlation. We identified 149 loci jointly associated with loneliness and SMDs (MD n = 67, SCZ n = 54, and BD n = 28), and 55 distinct loci jointly associated with loneliness and CVD risk factors. A total of 153 novel loneliness loci were found. Most of the shared loci possessed concordant effect directions, suggesting that genetic risk for loneliness may increase the risk of both SMDs and CVD. Functional analyses of the shared loci implicated biological processes related to the brain, metabolic processes, chromatin and immune system. Altogether, the study revealed polygenic overlap between loneliness, SMDs and CVD risk factors, providing new insights into their shared genetic architecture and common genetic mechanisms.

Hurricane Impact

Hurricanes are devastating natural disasters which dramatically modify the physical landscape and alter the socio-physical and biochemical characteristics of the environment, thus exposing the affected communities to new environmental stressors, which persist for weeks to months after the hurricane. This paper has three aims. First, it conceptualizes potential direct and indirect health effects of hurricanes and provides an overview of factors that exacerbate the health effects of hurricanes. Second, it summarizes the literature on the health impact of hurricanes. Finally, it examines the time lag between the hurricane (landfall) and the occurrence of diseases. Two major findings emerge from this paper. Hurricanes are shown to cause and exacerbate multiple diseases, and most adverse health impacts peak within six months following hurricanes. However, chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease and mental disorders, continue to occur for years following the hurricane impact.

I have been asked by the President to open a discussion on out-patient clinics for mental disorders. Although these have existed for many years in some places, it is believed that they ought to be more general, and that one or more should be connected with every mental hospital. Their establishment has now become an urgent duty in view of the passing of the Mental Treatment Act.

A variety of medical illnesses can cause psychiatric symptoms, most commonly depression, anxiety, manic states, and delusions or hallucinations, in that order. Before DSM-III in 1980, psychiatric symptoms caused by medical illnesses were classified as organic mental disorders. DSM-III changed the term “organic” to “secondary to a medical illness.” In DSM-5, mania and depression secondary or due to a medical illness were moved to “other mental disorders.” These days the terms “organic,” “secondary,” and “neuropsychiatric” are used interchangeably. Psychotropic agents mainly have symptomatic effects when used for mood or anxiety or cognitive symptoms in the context of medical illnesses. In chronic traumatic encephalopathy, low-dose lithium may assist with mood and impulsivity and suicidality, as well as potential dementia progression. In a range of neurological illnesses, symptomatic psychotropic treatments have limited value. In cardiovascular disease, monoamine agonists are limited in depressive benefit, have little definable cardiovascular benefit, and have some evidence of cardiovascular harm.
