Psychoeducation of bipolar disorder patients and their relatives |
Author : Michel Bourin* |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Until recently, there was the belief that people with bipolar disorder were not fi t to be treated with psychological therapies, which has been widely denied in recent years. While it is true that the effects of therapy are not immediate, psychoeducation also demonstrates its long-term benefi ts in people with bipolar disorder who have attended these therapies on an ongoing basis. Psychoeducation is a very important topic often neglected, but it is a very important task of physicians to well explain to patients and their families what is the illness and to prevent depression or manic and hypomanic episodes. Psychoeducation for patients with bipolar disorder aims to overcome the therapeutic challenges posed by the disease by making patients actors in their care [1].

Mathematical formula of sex, love, economy and happiness. Therapy and psychiatric analysis of the economy and the fi nancial markets |
Author : Richard Wix-Ramos* and Francisco Soto |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Economics, fi nancial markets are sciences that try to predict the behavior of actors to get the
best performance possible, however, in general economic analyzes are made on scientifi c and logical
mathematical rules, rational, and this is extremely important and the Key to everything, since the entities
that interact in the market are human beings, and human beings present illogical and irrational psychic
devices, this may explain in part why it is so diffi cult to predict the behavior of the markets, resulting
in low yields Or in some cases gigantic economic losses. Long-term deposits tend to generate higher
interest dividends since the inability of depositors to take their money immediately and when they require
it increases their levels of anxiety, distress, so the reward and gratifi cation has to be greater, stronger
psychic devices will tend to save more and savings will be long term, while individuals with weak psychic
devices will tend to save less and deposits will be in current accounts. |

Clinical aspects of depression in the elderly |
Author : Michel Bourin* |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The depressive states of the elderly are frequent and difficult to diagnose due mainly to their clinical heterogeneity. One of the reasons for the increase in the rate of suicide in the over 80 years is probably the non-recognition of depressive states. Thymic and affective complaints frequently occur with advancing age and are too often attributed to the consequences of normal aging, which is accompanied by the successive losses that characterize old age. However, we must insist on the need to recognize the existence of a thymic disorder that we can treat because the latter will cause, in addition to excessive suffering but also a significant handicap in the daily operation from subject. We will try in this article to highlight the specificities of this pathology in the elderly and its management.

Post-stroke depression and changes in behavior and personality |
Author : Michel Bourin* |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Disorders now well identifi ed and recognized by caregivers are observed post stroke especially fatigue
and depression. The patient and especially his family must be informed, to reduce the destabilizing effect
of fi nding a loved one different from that known before the stroke, especially when returning home. The
disorders can change over time or be improved by medication. Sometimes, they will permanently alter
the character or behavior of the person, psychological help to the patient and his relatives is often useful. |
