 Background: Depression is a common health problem among the general population and is responsible for the deterioration of person’s abilities and daily activities. It has been estimated that depression affects approximately 121 million people around the globe regardless of religion, race, age, or gender. Major depressive disorder is a common, chronic, and costly condition for which people seek most of the care from primary care physicians.   Objectives: The present study aims at finding the prevalence of depression and its relationship with socio demographic characteristics and chronic diseases.   Methods: The present institution based cross-sectional study was done on a sample of 120 females in Hail city of Saudi Arabia. The sample was randomly selected from all the colleges of University of Hail, Saudi Arabia. For the purpose of data collection general questionnaire about the participants’ socio-demographic characteristics and the Hospital Anxiety and Depressio...

  The goal is to look at the link between a serotonin transporter gene polymorphism and state-trait anxiety, as well as to see if 5-HTTLPR may be utilised as an objective predictor of mental state in Japanese ballet dancers under stress. There were 25 elite student ballet (Elite) dancers with future promise and 19 professional ballet (Pro) dancers that took part in the competition. On a regular day and one of the stressful days, we gave the subjects two psychological questionnaires (STAI: State-Trait Anxiety Inventory; BRUMS: Brunel Mood Scale). The 5-HTTLPR genotype was found in 64.7 percent of the dancers, 35.3 percent in the s/l group, and 0 percent in the l/l group. Only the s/s and s/l genotypes had significant differences in STAI scores before competition. Elite dancers' Trait-Anxiety scores were substantially higher than those of Pro dancers in this study (P0.028). The primary impacts of genotypes on BRUMS scores (P0.035) and Pro/Elite groups (P0.002) were substantial; the 5...

A related disorder is benign unilateral episodic mydriasis, in which young people, mostly women, have occasional periods of pupillary asymmetry mydriasis. Each occurrence is isolated, and no systemic or neurologic disease has been associated to it. Some publications characterise it as a limited form of ophthalmoplegic migraine since it is usually associated with migraine, albeit our patient had no accompanying headache. Anxiety, anger, and insomnia were among her complaints. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are usually suggested as the drug of choice for the treatment of depression and generalised anxiety disorder. Because SSRI's central inhibitory effects are thought to extend to dilation linked neurons, which inhibit the E.W. nucleus, SSRI would also suppress BUEM. It's unknown what's causing the underlying physiopathology, however it might be parasympathetic insufficiency or sympathetic hyperactivity impacting the iris. The study's goal is to det...
