Objective

Our aim was to describe demographic data of preg-

nant patients admitted to an inpatient psychiatric unit and analyze

treatment preferences for acutely ill pregnant patients.

Methods

A prospective chart review was carried out to iden-

tify pregnant patients who admitted to the inpatient unit during

the period April 2014–September 2015. Details regarding their

sociodemographic, clinical, and treatment datawere obtained from

these records for the study.

Results

The total number of pregnant patients, admitted to our

psychiatry inpatient clinic during the survey period was 15. The

mean age of the patients was 30.33 (with a range of 21–38 years).

Two thirds of the patients were hospitalized in the 1st trimester.

Bipolar disorder (46.6%) was the most common diagnosis, followed

by psychotic disorder (33%), and unipolar severe depression (20%).

Eleven patients (67%) out of 15 had a psychiatric illness before

getting pregnant. It was found that premenstrual syndrome was

reported by 60% of patients. Haloperidol was the most frequently

used psychotropic drug for the treatment of psychotic disorders

and bipolar manic episodes.

Conclusion

The information regarding the course of bipolar dis-

order in pregnancy is controversial. While some studies support the

opinion that pregnancy appeared to have a protective effect against

an increase in symptoms, others stress that the risk for relapse in the

pregnancy period is high. It is noteworthy that the majority of our

patients are bipolar patients in the 1st trimester. The abrupt cease

of mood stabilizer use may lead to recurrence in bipolar disorder.

Introduction

Despite the empirical support for the effects of

mindfulness based interventions for recurrent depression (Velden

et al., 2015), the literature on the relation betweenMindfulness and

Lifetime History of Depression/LTHD are scarce.

Objective

To compare Mindfulness levels between women with

vs. without LTHD and to analyze if mindfulness dimensions are

significant predictors of LTHD.

Methods

One hundred and twenty-seven pregnant women

(mean age: 32.56

±

4.785 years) in their second trimester of

pregnancy (17.34

±

4.790 weeks of gestation) completed: Facets

of Mindfulness Questionnaire-10 (FMQ10; Azevedo et at. 2015)

assessing the dimensions non-judgement of inner experience/NJ,

ACt with awareness/AA and observe and describe/OD; a new

self-report questionnaire developed to evaluate the presence of

LTHD, with several “Yes/No” questions, based on DSM-5 criteria

for depression.

Results

Ninety-seven (23.0%) women had LTHD. Bisserial Spear-

men correlations between LTHD and FMQ scores were significant,

negative and moderate (> .30,

P

< .01); only OD did not significantly

correlated with LTHD. Independent sample

T

-test revealed that

women with vs. without LTHD had significantly higher levels of

total FMQ-10, NJ and AA (all

P

< .001). Logistic regression analysis

showed that the model containing FMQ-10 explained 12.7–18.8%

of the LTHD variance and correctly classified 77.9%; the OR was of

1.19 (95% CI .801–.886; Wald = 44.504;

P

< .001). The model com-

posed by NJ and AA explained 15.5–23% and correctly classified

76.5%. NJ OR was of 1.23 (CI .734–.884; Wald = 20.806;

P

< .001) and

AA OR was of 1.41 (CI .708–.903; Wald = 13.004;

P

< .001).

Conclusions

Our research discloses that less mindfulness abilities

enhances the probability of having lifetime history of depression.

The lack of psychopathological studies and available records con-

cerning the prevalence of mental disorders in African countries,

namely in Mozambique lead our attention to the study of the

prisoner population due to the large number of mental disor-

ders usually identified among it. According to this, we designed a

studywith the primary objective of detecting variousmental condi-

tions in the inmates of Maputo (Mozambique) prisons. In Maputo

(Mozambique) prisons, a large number of individuals with men-

tal disorders identifiable by the instruments used (MINI), is about

80% of the sample, with a larger prevalence in the male population

(52.3%). In regards to the type of crimes committed, those against

property are the most prevalent, theft specially and mostly com-

mitted by men. Crimes against people, particularly homicide (61%

of these) were mostly committed by women. Concerning to the

relationship between crime and mental disorder, maniac episodes

were statistically associatedwith crimes against people and alcohol

abuse with other crimes (drug traffic, coin and document forgery,

illegal possession of guns and illegal migration).
