COVID-19 may affect central nervous system. The symptoms related to the CNS may occur through the direct neuroinvasion of the virus, inflammation, autoimmunity, psychosocial stressors and treatment side effects. COVID-19 can increase the severity of existing mental illnesses and also trigger the onset of a new mental illness. In this case report, we present a 52-year-old male patient with no previous psychiatric history as well as no family history of mental illness. The patient's manic symptoms began while he was hospitalized due to severe COVID-19 pneumonia. The patient, who self-discharged himself from the hospital was brought to the emergency department involuntarily by his relatives 14 days later and was admitted to the psychiatry service. In this case report, possible etiological factors were discussed and the treatment course during the hospitalization and one year follow-up were presented. Our aim is to contribute to the literature by discussing possible etiological factors and management of mania that started during the treatment of COVID-19. COVID-19 can affect the central nervous system and be associated with psychiatric symptoms. Keywords: COVID-19, Mania, Bipolar Disorder, Central Nervous System.

The COVID-19 pandemic may be considered as a shared source of uncertainty. Prolonged engagement with social media regarding this uncertainty could present as a risk factor for anxiety. We sought to investigate the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty, dimensions of resilience, uncertainty source (pandemic)-related social media use, and the risk of anxiety and depression in patients with cancer.

Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS) is an idiosyncratic and potentially life-threatening drug reaction. Although uncommon, NMS cases induced by oral quetiapine have been reported. Most reports have predisposing risk factors such as an organic brain disorder, concomitant use of other antipsychotics or lithium, overdose or rapid titration. NMS with low doses of quetiapine is a much rarer clinical picture. Venlafaxine is commonly associated with withdrawal upon discontinuation sometimes as soon as the next day. In this case report, a 40-year-old man treated with venlafaxine for generalized anxiety disorder with symptoms of full-blown NMS after venlafaxine withdrawal, induced by low-dose quetiapine (50 mg), is presented. In accordance with the previous reports, we speculate that venlafaxine withdrawal was a predisposing factor in our case however we also discussed other possible explanations for NMS. Acknowledging the risk of NMS, even with low doses of quetiapine in patients devoid of known risk factors, is of paramount importance for prompt diagnosis and mitigating morbidity and mortality. To our knowledge, this is the first case of NMS with such a low dose of quetiapine without any other known risk factors or substances.

Sexual dysfunctions (SD) are very common in patients with psychiatric disorders and may be due to the side effects of the disease or medications used. Current scales cannot distinguish whether SDs are due to psychiatric illness or medications use. The Psychotropic Associated Sexual Dysfunction Questionnaire (PRSexDQ) is a customized scale for screening SD due to drug use. Our aim is to conduct a validity and reliability study of PRSexDQ in patients using selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).

Around 300 cases of stigma have been described since the 13th century. Hematidrosis, hemolacria, bloody otorrhea, vicarious menstruation, and Gardner-Diamond syndrome are dermatological manifestations that are also observed in cases of stigma. This paper presents the disconcerting circumstances in the life of the Blessed Elena Aiello. From 1923 until her death, she suffered severe hematidrosis blood sweating on her forehead, hands, feet and knees, just as stigmata appear at the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Stigmas, in Christian tradition, are marks corresponding to those left on Christ's body by the torture and the Crucifixion, it's said that are impressed on the person body by divine favor. These episodes, among the few recognised as authentic by the Catholic Church would appear each Friday in Lent, particularly on Good Friday. In this unique case study, doctors Fabrizio and Turano performed a medical study where the origin of the sores was unclear. Neurologist and psychiatrist Vincenzo Bianchi, on assessing the case, raised the possibility of simulation or mere suggestion on the part of the patient. Keywords: Elena Aiello, Autosuggestion, Psychology, Stigmata, Psychopathology, Malingering, Factitious Disorder.

Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PDD) is characterized by mental, physical and cognitive symptoms that occurs in the late luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and regresses in the week following menstruation. In PDD, serotonin reuptake inhibitors and combined contraceptives are the primary pharmacologic treatments. In cases where there is a personal or family history of bipolar disorder (BD), the use of antidepressants may pose a risk of inducing manic episodes. The frequent coexistence of BD and PDD, the fact that both diseases are cyclic in nature and that common mechanisms such as hormonal changes play a role in their aetiologies, suggest that lithium might be efficacious in the treatment of PDD. Here, we present a case who didn't have a BD but a family history of BD and was treated with lithium monotherapy for PDD with a successful outcome. In cases where first- and second-line therapies cannot be used or no response is obtained in PDD patients, pharmacological agents that have demonstrated efficacy in preventing mood episodes among first-degree relatives, may present a viable solution.
