Article Abstract
Objectives: It would be prudent to consider the mental health of psychiatrists, who are entrusted with the responsibility of caring for our mental well-being. This study aimed to examine psychiatrists' mental health and coping strategies.
Methods: The study was conducted among 217 psychiatry residents and specialists in Turkey. Data was collected via online test programs. The participants were given a Sociodemographic Form, the Brief COPE inventory, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 Scale (GAD-7), and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9).
Results: The psychiatrists exhibited symptoms of poor mental health, with 35.5 % reporting anxiety and 12.4 % reporting depression. A statistically significant relationship was identified between burnout and depression and anxiety in the participants (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, respectively). A positive significant relationship was found between depression and emotion-focused coping style (R = 0.15, p = 0.025). Other statistically significant positive relationships were found between depression, anxiety and dysfunctional coping styles (R = 0.35, p < 0.001, R = 0.31, p < 0.001, respectively).
Conclusions: Psychiatrists should not neglect their mental health and that of their colleagues for the mental health of the community and should develop more functional coping strategies to deal with problems to carry the empathic burden of their profession.

Racialized exposure to multiple COVID-19 deaths and their consequences for mental health.

COVID-19 unleashed a bereavement crisis on a scale unseen in over a century. While evidence suggests COVID-19 deaths are acutely damaging to well-being, it is unclear how multiple losses affect mental health, whether there are ethnoracial differences in cumulative loss, or if the association between multiple COVID-related deaths and psychological distress varies by race-ethnicity. Using national survey data (n = 1810) collected following the Omicron surge in the United States, we estimate a series of regression models to assess the association between multiple COVID-19 losses and psychological distress, racial-ethnic differences in aggregate death exposure, and differential vulnerability to multiple losses across racial-ethnic groups.

Background: An upward trend in self-reported mental distress among adolescents has been documented in Norway and several other countries, yet the causes remain unclear. This study aims to identify potential explanations for this trend by testing hypothesized factors using repeated cross-sectional data.

The use of donor eggs, sperm and embryos in medically assisted reproduction (MAR) provide new possibilities for reproductive assistance and family-making. In clinical practice, it also brings to light questions of responsibility and ethical conduct. Despite this, fertility practitioners' reasoning in clinical decision-making remains surprisingly understudied.

Parents of children with ASD face significantly greater parenting challenges than those raising typically developing children due to prolonged exposure to their children's developmental disorders, emotional distress, and atypical behaviors, underscoring the urgency of addressing their mental health concerns. This study examined the relationship between fear of negative evaluation (FNE) and social anxiety in parents of children with ASD, with a focus on the mediating roles of perceived social support and coping styles. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 585 parents of children with ASD using validated instruments: the Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale (BFNE), the Social Anxiety Scale, the Perceived Social Support Scale, and the Simple Coping Style Questionnaire.
