Research Hotspot & Journal Scope - Anxiety

This study aimed to explore the link between maternal–fetal attachment in the third trimester and postpartum anxiety, as previous research has suggested a potentially protective association.

Eating rituals were also associated with the presence of at least one comorbid anxiety disorder.

Those with co morbid anxiety or depression felt a lack of support for their conditions which they felt were never considered in relation to their overall management of their COPD.

Case description: Two patients who began taking BZD to treat anxiety (female) and stress (male), over time became disability pensioners for “drug-resistant” anxiety disorders and “drug-resistant” somatic complaints.

However, these findings suggest that elevations in self-reported somatisation, general anxiety, or phobic anxiety should raise suspicion of PNES in clinical settings.
