These findings are also significant because they may help researchers understand why shy children develop psychiatric problems at an increased rate later in life, says Brian Knutson, a psychologist at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California.
Offspring of bipolar subjects were found more vulnerable to develop thyroid antibodies independently from the vulnerability to develop psychiatric disorders.
People exposed to stressful events may develop trauma-related psychiatric conditions.
In addition, it has been reported that after admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) some patients report symptoms such as anxiety, pain and nightmares, which may develop into chronic psychiatric disorders including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression [ 4- 6].
There is some clinical evidence that patients under gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists may develop symptoms consistent with various psychiatric disorders with and without psychotic features.
Such patients are subject to long and potentially toxic treatments and may develop a number of different psychiatric illnesses such as anxiety and depressive disorders.
These may develop into a number of psychiatric illnesses such as anxiety and depressive disorders, which may lead to suboptimal adherence to both antiretroviral (3, 5) and anti-TB treatments (2), and ultimately poor treatment outcomes.
Up to 50% of patients with no psychiatric history may develop symptoms of anxiety and depression shortly after ATLR (Blumer et al., 1998; Ring et al., 1998), but postoperative emotional disturbances have received less attention than cognitive changes, and the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood.
PTSD, however, is not the only psychiatric condition that may develop in the aftermath of trauma.
These results suggest that the hospital administrative units may develop training courses about resourcefulness skills to reduce psychiatric nurses' work stress, and improve their mental health.
