of discomfort, irritability, loss of appetite/body weight, skin
tingling/burning/inflammation/dermographism, nausea, EEG
changes. Twenty additional apparent neuropsychiatric effects of
such exposures will be listed (not considered established); these
20 suggest, however, that the neuropsychiatric effects go well
beyond the 14 established effects. Various types of EMFs have
been reported to produce neuropsychiatric effects including living
near cell phone antennae, heavy cell phone usage, occupational
exposure to radar, UHF or VHF transmission, smart meter radiation,
WiFi field exposure, digital television signal exposure, living near
a radio station antenna, or living near a short wave broadcasting
antenna.
Conclusions The ever-increasing human exposures to such EMFs
threatens us with near universal widespread neuropsychiatric
effects and should be viewed as a major threat to the survival of
human civilization. Current safety guidelines are based only on
thermal effects and are therefore without any scientific merit.

Introduction If we are what we eat, are we eating ourselves into
depression and anxiety? There has been an emerge evidence sup-
porting a role for lifestyle factors in the development of these
conditions.
Objective To review evolving concepts and gain insight on the
phenomenon of dietary pattern and mental health.
Methods Bibliographic search in Pubmed for articles published
between 2010 and 2015, using the keywords words mental health,
diet and depression, from the 220 articles found, 68 were included.
Results From the 68 selected articles, 19 were reviews, 3 ran-
domized controlled trials and 2 meta-analysis. The scientific
community agrees that substantial global changes in the food
system have had a highly detrimental impact on dietary pat-
terns. Thirty-three articles found a positive correlation between
unhealthy dietary patterns andpoorermental health or bettermen-
tal health with healthy eating habits, such as a potential protective
role of mediterranean diet (or similar) with regard to the preven-
tion of depressive disorders. A recent systematic review by Baskin
et al (2015) revealed positive associations between poor quality
and unhealthy diets and antenatal depressive and stress symptoms.
Healthy diets were inversely associated with antenatal depressive
and anxiety symptoms.
Conclusion Although there is some evidence on the association
between dietary quality and mental health, we can’t tell if it’s a
casual linkage or what are the biological pathways that mediate
these relationships. Therefore, randomized control trials of diet are
necessary to disentangle the effects of multiple health behaviors
on mental health.

Background Female adolescents have a higher prevalence of psy-
chological disorder especially in the developing countries and
tradition communities. Adolescence is due to accompanied with
puberty and transitional age are suffering of mental health prob-
lems. Main purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness
of “psychological well-being promotion program” on the mental
health status of female high school students in Iran.
Methods The non equivalent group, pretest-posttest design was
applied to conduct this study from November 2013 to December
2013 in Tabriz, Iran on 289 participants (148 in the experimental
and 141 in the control groups). One of the sub-regions of Tabriz city
was chosen randomly and within the area two high schools were
selected with almost same environmental conditions randomly as
the experimental and control groups. Participants who were in
the 9th grade were recruited randomly and classified in the both
groups of intervention and control. After diagnostic evaluation, the
planned program was performed based on two approaches of: (1)
environmental changes (playing music during breaks, sports com-
petitions, and interior decorating classes); (2) stress management
skills development program.
Results The results were indicative of the intervention’s positive
impact. Based on the findings, the mean scores of the happiness
significantly increased in the intervention group (P ≤ 0.001). The
mean scores of the stress significantly decreased in the intervention
group (P ≤ 0.001).
Conclusion The study results suggested that implementation
mental health promotion program improved mental health indices
which indicates effectiveness of comprehensive school health pro-
grams.

The stigma, discrimination and human rights violations that indi-
viduals and families affected by mental disorders suffer are intense
and pervasive.
In order to study attitude toward mental health problems, more
than 1000 population from the different region of Georgia have
been interviewedwithin 3 months (May-July 2015) in their house-
hold.
The scope of questions used in the survey were based on the ques-
tionnaire proposed by the NHS Information Centre, Mental Health
and Community.
