Primary Care Psychiatry in Italy
No full textIn Italy, the importance of integrating primary care and mental health has only recently been grasped. Several reasons may explain this delay: a) until 2005, primary care physicians worked individually instead of in group practices, without any functional network or structured contacts with colleagues; b) community mental health centers with multiprofessional teams were well structured and widespread in several regions but focused on people with severe and persistent mental disorders; and c) specific national government health policies were lacking. Only two regions have implemented explicit policies on this issue. The "G. Leggieri" program started by the Emilia-Romagna region health government in 1999 aims to coordinate unsolicited bottom-up cooperation initiatives developing since the 1980s. In Liguria, a regional work group was established in 2010 to boost the strategic role of collaborative programs between primary care and mental health services. This article describes the most innovative experiences relating to primary care psychiatry in Italy
Depression severity and concentration difficulties are independently associated with HRQOL in patients with unipolar depressive disorders
No full textPurpose: Cognitive impairment is a core feature of major depressive disorder (MDD), and dysfunctions in this area strongly contribute to MDD-associated disability. Whether cognitive impairment has an independent clinical course and a unique impact on HRQOL is still debated. We sought to characterize the relationship between depression severity and HRQOL, evaluating the burden of concentration difficulties on HRQOL. Methods: Six hundred ninety-two patients with unipolar depressive disorders recruited in 19 Italian centers answered a self-administered survey (SF-12 questionnaire, socio-demographic information). A psychiatrist completed a standardized data collection form encompassing a depression severity scale (MADRS) and clinical information. Results: There was a strong graded association between the severity of depressive symptoms and both the physical (Ï2 = 0.13; p < 0.01) and mental (Ï2 = 0.34; p < 0.01) SF-12 domains. Additionally, we observed a strong association between concentration difficulties and all HRQOL outcomes independent of other symptoms of depression and robust to adjustment for possible confounders. Conclusions: Our data corroborate previous findings suggesting that cognitive impairment is a feature of unipolar depressive disorders partially independent of the severity of other symptoms, and may represent a specific target of therapy with a strong impact on patientsâ functioning and quality of life
