Sense Of Obligation

Previous studies have suggested that altruistic behaviors for children and grandchildren (ABC) have a complex mechanism for psychiatric morbidity among parents and grandparents. The interaction between ABC and sense of obligation to children/grandchildren (SOC) may help to provide a better understanding of the association between ABC and psychiatric morbidity. In this study, we seek to investigate the association between the interaction of ABC and SOC and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and major depression (MD) using a nationally representative sample of middle-aged parents/grandparents in the United States (N = 2,193). Among women, feeling obligated was associated with MD regardless of ABC status. Among men, having SOC and providing informal assistance or financial support was associated with GAD morbidity. Further research that elucidates the complexity of the interaction of ABC and SOC on psychiatric morbidity among parents/grandparents is needed.

Psychosocial Impairment

Anxiety disorders are the most common psychiatric disorders among adults in the United States. Although anxiety disorders generally result in significant psychosocial impairment, most adults do not seek treatment until many years after the onset of the anxiety disorder. The treatment literature for anxiety disorder has grown tremendously since the 1980s, and both psychotherapy and medications may prove beneficial for people with anxiety disorders. This review presents a general overview of the anxiety disorders. This review contains 7 tables, and 33 references.

Proponents of herbal therapies frequently insist that traditional physicians must be made ready to accept so-called “alternative” or “complementary” treatments. In this month's issue of CNS Spectrums, two wonderful guest editors, Drs. Jonathan Davidson and Kathryn M. Connor, both of Duke University, help us turn that issue around. The real question for psychiatrists, neurologists, and neuroscientists is whether herbal treatments are ready for us.Due in large part to recent Congressional mandates, dietary supplements, even when proposed to work for medical conditions like depression and generalized anxiety disorder, do not require approval in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration as pharmaceutical agents.

ABSTRACTEscitalopram is the newest selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) available for use in the United States. It has been approved for the treatment of major depression and generalized anxiety disorder. It is the S-enantiomer of the SSRI citalopram and is highly serotonin specific as it has minimal effect on the reuptake of dopamine or norepinephrine. It is also a well-tolerated medication, with a side-effect profile comparable to the other SSRIs. While a number of side effects have been seen during escitalopram therapy, such as insomnia, nausea, and increased sweating, there are no reported cases of serotonin syndrome associated with escitalopram therapy to date. We present the case of a 24-year-old woman who developed serotonin syndrome after an increase in her escitalopram to 30 mg/day. We will review the diagnostic criteria of serotonin syndrome and the clinical scenarios in which serotonin syndrome can develop. We will also discuss the proposed treatments and role that polypharmacology may play in the development of this clinical entity.
