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.
