Introduction Health related quality of life (HRQoL) can be mea-
sured and compared, to give us an understanding of the impact
different diseases have on health. The diagnostic tests for attention-
deficit/hyperactive disorder (ADHD) in adulthood fail to catch the
diversity of ways the condition affects one’s life. Disease-specific
quality-of-life scales try to reach beyond the typical symptoms of
the condition, to find those specific difficulties a person subjectively
grades as challenging.
Objectives To assess the levels of general and disease-specific
HRQoL in adults with ADHD-like symptoms.
Aims To understand the impact ADHD-like symptoms have on
adults’ HRQoL.
Methods A random, nationwide sample of 3000 Finnish speaking
citizens (aged 18-44 years) was drawn from the national popu-
lation register. A subsample of 171 people, 57 screener (Adult
ADHD Self-Report Scale [ASRS]) positive cases and two age- and
sex-matched controls for each case, participated in a telephone
interview. General HRQoL was measured with 15D, and disease-
specific HRQoL with Adult ADHD Quality-of-Life (AAQoL) scale.
Results The 15D score was 0.866 for the screener positives, 0.943
for the controls, and 0.945 for the Finnish population reference. The
difference between the screener positives and controls was signif-
icant (P < 0.001). The AAQoL sum score was worse for the screener
positives than controls (61.9 vs. 82.1, P < 0.001), and all the sub-
scales were affected accordingly.
Conclusions Adults with ADHD-like symptoms have a lower
quality of life, as measured both on the general and on the
condition-specific quality of life scales.

Introduction Every year, 1 million people commit suicide in
the world. Major Depressive Disorder is the first cause of loss of
Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) in developed countries.
Objective To study the references to psychiatric disorders in the
media and to measure their media impact compared with other
topics such as politics, sports and tabloids.
Methods We focused on the top-six journals in terms number of
readers in the USA. Our research strategy included the introduction
of several terms of interest (ex: “anxiety”) on each journal’s Twitter
account. The search was restricted to 2014, and yielded a database
of 6296 news, which was categorized in four areas: health, politics,
sports and tabloids.
Results Six hundred and eighty-one (10.8%) news dealt with psy-
chiatric disorders. The termwith the highest impact in mass media
was “suicide”, present in 1 of every 3 Psychiatrics-related news.
Anorexia was the psychiatric disorder with the lowest impact
(just 1 tweet). We noticed certain peaks-patterns in the number
of tweets coincidentally with the suicide of any famous person.
Within the total of terms included in our study, suicide ranked the
8th position regarding media impact.
Conclusions Social networks can be a useful tool for the divulga-
tion of mental disorders and their awareness among the general
population. Despite psychiatric disorders are very prevalent and
cause high morbidity, they have a relatively low media impact.
Despite the WHO recommendation of avoiding specific informa-
tion regarding the suicide of famous people, for preventive reasons,
suicide is the psychiatric disorder with the highest media impact.

Introduction The Psychiatry consultation is a collaborative
approach between primary health care services and commu-
nity mental health teams. Our clinic provides support to three
Oporto areas (Bonfim/Paranhos, Campanhã andMaia/Valongo) cor-
responding to a population of 350,000 inhabitants.
Objectives To analyze and collect Psychiatry consultation data
of the first semester of 2015 in Maia/Valongo region. We aim to
describe our population’s sociodemographic characteristics, the
most common referral motive, diagnosis and therapeutics, and ori-
entation.
Methods Psychiatry consultation data of the first semester of
2015were collected and analyzed using SPSS software (version 20).
Results One hundred and sixty-one patients were evaluated. A
total of 26.09% were male and 73.91% were female. The mean
age was 51.61 years old. The most frequent referral motives
were depressive (47.82%) and anxiety (23.60%) symptoms. The
two most common diagnostic groups according to the Interna-
tional Classification of Diseases (version 10) were F30-F39–Mood
affective disorders (57.76%) and F40-F48–Neurotic, stress-related
and somatoform disorders (18.63%). 22.36% of the patients were
referred without medication, but only four were discharged drug-
free, corresponding to bereavement situations. 34.16% of our
population were previously prescribed two or more psychotropic
drugs, increasing to 63.98% after assessment. Only 18.63%met crite-
ria to hospital referral.
Conclusions The Psychiatry consultation selects the most severe
patients and allows a faster evaluation of mentally ill patients
awaiting hospital consultation, thus preventing unnecessary access
to the emergency room. Authors consider that all the patients
referred to a hospital consultation should be previously evaluated
by a consultant psychiatrist on a primary health care setting.
