Night eating syndrome and winter seasonal affective disorder

Serge Friedman; Christian Even; Jacques Thuile; F. Rouillon; J.-D. Guelfi

Night eating syndrome (NES) and winter seasonal affective disorder (SAD) share some features such as snacking for high-carbohydrate/high-fat food with increased weight, emotional distress, circadian disturbances, good response to serotoninergic antidepressants (SSRIs) and bright-light therapy. This study assessed the prevalence and socio-demographical and clinical correlates of the NES in a sample of 62 consecutive depressed outpatients with winter seasonal features (DSM-IV criteria). Depression was assessed with the 29 item-HDRS and Sigh-SAD version and with the 7-item depression subscale of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale. The prevalence of NES was low (4.8%). Patients suffering from NES were significantly older with a greater duration of the illness. NES was not related to depression and to Body Mass Index. NES and winter SAD are not overlapping disorders.

Characteristics of voluntary participants versus nonparticipants in a psychoeducation program for euthymic patients with bipolar disorder.

We aimed to assess the participation rate and predictive factors of participation in psychoeducation programs for euthymic outpatients with bipolar disorder. Ninety-five consecutive euthymic outpatients with bipolar disorder treated with lithium were recruited in a university department of psychiatry. The participants and nonparticipants in a program of psychoeducation were compared for sociodemographic, clinical, and psychological characteristics. According to univariate statistics, a younger age, a higher education level, a shorter duration of illness, a better initial knowledge about lithium, and a less external locus of control were predictive of participation in the program. A binary logistic regression model showed that an external locus of control was an independent predictor of participation. Among bipolar patients, the older, the less educated, those who have less knowledge about their treatment, and those with a more external locus of control were less likely to participate in hospital-based psychoeducation programs.

Prévalence de la dépression dans la sclérose en plaques. Revue et méta-analyse

Resume Introduction L’objectif de cette revue est d’evaluer la frequence de la depression au cours de la sclerose en plaques (SEP). Materiel et methode Nous avons realise une meta-analyse en utilisant deux methodes de combinaison basees sur les niveaux de signification (p). Resultats La frequence de la depression dans la SEP est significativement plus elevee que dans d’autres pathologies chroniques. Cette meta-analyse fournit un p combine significatif, indicateur d’un effet de la SEP par rapport a d’autres maladies chroniques sur la frequence de la depression. L’importance de cet effet peut etre qualifiee de moyen (effet standardise d de Cohen a 0,29, intervalle de confiance a 95 p. 100 : 0,09-0,49) et est donc probablement cliniquement pertinente. Conclusion Ce resultat plaide en faveur du caractere specifique de l’association SEP et depression qui ne serait donc ni fortuite ni seulement liee aux facteurs non specifiques de toute maladie chronique.

Coût du trouble bipolaire : revue de la littérature

R. Dardennes; Jacques Thuile; Christian Even; Serge Friedman; Julien Daniel Guelfi

Resume Le trouble bipolaire est la sixieme cause mondiale de handicap chez l’adulte jeune, selon la Banque Mondiale et l’Organisation Mondiale de la Sante. Ce handicap est du meme ordre que celui de la schizophrenie. Cependant, l’evaluation des consequences economiques du trouble bipolaire n’a fait l’objet que de rares etudes. De plus, alors qu’un traitement preventif, le lithium, est utilise depuis bientot 50 ans, l’impact economique de l’utilisation des thymoregulateurs sur le long terme est un domaine neglige. Deux etudes anglosaxonnes estiment le cout annuel du trouble bipolaire a 10 000 et 16 000 € dont 80 % sont lies aux couts indirects, 15 % au cout de l’hospitalisation et 5 % au traitement medicamenteux. Les couts d’hospitalisation les plus eleves sont retrouves dans les etudes sur des populations suivies en milieu specialise ou des populations defavorisees et handicapees, tandis qu’ils sont moins eleves dans les systemes d’assurances privees (Health Maintenance Organizations ou HMO) et dans les estimations sur l’ensemble de la population. L’utilisation des thymoregulateurs a un impact tres important sur les couts directs qu’elle divise par 2 ainsi que sur les couts indirects. Cependant, toutes les enquetes montrent que les thymoregulateurs sont sous-utilises et qu’au total, seul 1 patient souffrant de trouble bipolaire sur 4 recevrait un traitement adequat. L’optimisation des ressources du systeme de sante necessite sans nul doute d’importants efforts pour ameliorer le depistage, l’identification et le traitement du trouble bipolaire.
