Summary: This study aimed to examine the associations between mental and somatic disorders before and during pregnancy. The results showed that comorbidity between mental and somatic disorders during pregnancy was two times higher than comorbidity between different somatic disorders. Mental disorders were positively associated with seven somatic disorder categories, including musculoskeletal and digestive system diseases. These findings highlight the importance of screening for mental disorders and potential comorbid conditions during pregnancy.

Summary: Comorbidity in neurology and psychiatry refers to the simultaneous onset of mental illness with a neurological disorder or other illness. Studies show that risk factors for cerebrovascular disease are more prevalent in patients with mental disorders, who also have less control over them and often have comorbidities detected later or remain undetected.

Summary: This review explores the intersection between physical therapy and mental health. The study found that there is a broad range of intersections between physical therapy and various mental health diagnoses. Exercise and physical activity studies dominate the highest levels of evidence, but there is a need for economic evaluations and patient experience studies. Further education is required to improve the healthcare outcomes of physical therapy for people with mental health disorders.

The results showed that the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and suicide in adults with psoriasis was 20%, 21%, and 0.77%, respectively, while the incidence was 42.1, 24.7, and 2.6 per 1000 person-years. Patients with psoriasis in North America had a higher prevalence of depression and suicide, whereas those in South America had a higher prevalence of anxiety.

Summary: This study investigated the association between eight major comorbid diseases and death from natural and unnatural causes in different age groups among individuals with schizophrenia. The results showed that comorbid diseases, such as hypertension, atrial fibrillation, coronary heart disease, etc., were strongly associated with natural death, and the strength of the associations decreased with age. Comorbid diseases were also modestly associated with unnatural death, regardless of age.

Summary: Individuals with common mental disorders (depression, anxiety, phobia) are twice as likely to report an alcohol use disorder compared to those without common mental disorders. There were no clear differences in the odds of having an AUD among different types of CMDs, and study characteristics did not provide clear explanations for heterogeneity in results. No distinct patterns were found in the associations between having a CMD and binge drinking or alcohol consumption, respectively.

Summary: A systematic review of epidemiological studies between 2006 and 2020 found that there is a high prevalence of mental disorders in children younger than 7 years, with oppositional defiant disorder and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder being the most common. Anxiety and depressive disorders were also prevalent, and comorbidity was observed in a significant portion of young children. The study highlights the need for age-appropriate treatment for young children with mental disorders.

Summary: Patients with affective disorder have higher absolute and relative risks of most somatic diseases, except for cancers. The strongest associations were found for dementia, hip fracture, COPD, and stroke on both the relative and absolute scale. Further research on shared mechanisms could lead to targeted interventions to reduce the risk.

Summary: This study examined the longitudinal associations between depressive, anxiety, and substance use disorders. The findings revealed reciprocal relationships between these disorders and highlighted gender differences, with females being more susceptible to depressive and anxiety disorders, and males being more vulnerable to substance use disorders. Early treatment and comprehensive psychosocial interventions are crucial in preventing chronicity and further maladjustment.
