    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the effect of a follow-up counseling program on oocyte donors' mental health.
    Methods: A randomized controlled field trial conducted on 72 Iranian women who volunteered for oocyte donation. The intervention was designed based on the qualitative section of the study and review of the literature, as face-to-face counseling, an Instagram page, an educational pamphlet, and a briefing session for service providers. Mental health was assessed using the DASS-21 questionnaire in two stages before ovarian stimulation (T1) and ovum pick-up (T2).
    Results: The scores of depression, anxiety, and stress after ovum pick-up in the intervention group were significantly lower than in the control group. Besides, after ovum pick-up, the satisfaction of participation in an assisted reproductive technique (P < 0.001) in the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group, respectively. In the intervention group, the mean scores of depression and stress were lower at T2 compared to T1 (P < 0.001).
    Conclusion: This study showed that the follow-up counseling program could influence these oocyte donors' mental health during participation in assisted reproductive techniques. Designing these programs in the cultural context of each country is recommended.

    Abstract Background: According to the report of the World Health Organization, mental disorders are one of the 10 most important causes of disability in the world. This study was conducted with the aim of determining the number and frequency of latent classes of depression and its determinants in Isfahan university of medical students.
    Materials and methods: A total of 1408 medical students from Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Iran, were enrolled in the study in 2017. The symptoms and severity of depression were assessed using the standard Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale questionnaire. Latent class analysis was applied to seven symptoms of depression, all of which had four levels. Latent class subgroups were compared using the Chi-square test and analysis of variance test. The regression model was used to check the relationship between identified classes and related factors. Analyzes were done using SPSS-21 and Mplus7 software.
    Results: In this study, three latent classes were identified, that is, the group of healthy people, the group of borderline people, and the group of people suspected of depression. The prevalence of identified latent classes among medical students is 0.52, 0.32, and 0.16%, respectively. The regression results showed that compared to the healthy group, the factors affecting depression in the borderline and suspicious group were increasing age, female gender, interest in the field of study, physical activity, history of depression, and history of anxiety.
    Conclusion: The three classes that were identified based on the students' answers to the depression symptoms questions differed only based on severity. The history of depression and anxiety were the strongest predictors of latent classes of depression.

The mean score of positive symptoms such as hallucinations, delusion, inappropriate affect, and formal thinking disorder in the intervention group were decreased significantly (P < 0.05), but no significant difference was seen in the control group. Appropriate social skills and overall skill score were increased significantly in the intervention group over time (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Lieberman community return program is likely to reduce the symptoms of schizophrenia and increase patients' social skills.

    Abstract Background: An unplanned pregnancy may be followed by increased depression and anxiety. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the mediating role of partner's emotional reaction to pregnancy (PERP) on the relationship between pregnancy planning and prenatal mental health.
    Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 303 healthy Iranian pregnant women during their third trimester. The levels of depression and anxiety were measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. The PERP score was also measured using a researcher-made questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the plug-in application PROCESS macro.
    Results: The results showed that PERP score was reversely related to pregnancy planning and prenatal depression and anxiety. The direct effect of the pregnancy planning on depression (c = -.05) and anxiety levels (c = -.02) were not significant; but the indirect effect of pregnancy planning on depression (Point Estimate = -.379, CI: -.523 to -.250) and anxiety levels (Point Estimate = -.560, CI: -.741 to -.385) with the mediating role of PERP were significant.
    Conclusions: The results indicated that the effect of pregnancy planning on prenatal mental health is mediated by PERP, and in unplanned pregnancy women need to receive positive reaction of their partners toward pregnancy so that they can preserve their mental health.

    Abstract Objective: Addiction is a complex condition and a brain disease manifested by compulsive substance use despite its harmful consequence. Addicted individuals have an intense focus on using substances. This study aimed to investigate the effect of adding memantine to clonidine and buprenorphine in reducing withdrawal symptoms, compared with placebo, in drug-dependent patients (opium and heroin).
    Materials and methods: In this double-blind, randomized clinical trial study, 60 patients using opium or heroin were assigned to the intervention (n = 30) and control (n = 30) groups. Both groups were treated with buprenorphine and clonidine at the same dose in the detoxification process. The intervention group received memantine 10 mg daily for 10 days and then 20 mg daily for 21 days, and the control group received a placebo prepared in the same shape and size as memantine tablets. The severity of withdrawal symptoms was measured using the Short Opioid Withdrawal Scale over 3 weeks. Data analysis was performed using SPSS and descriptive and inferential tests.
    Results: The results showed that despite memantine's superiority in controlling some withdrawal symptoms such as feeling sick, stomach pain, muscle spasm, and feeling cold, no significant difference was found between the 2 groups. There was also no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups in the total score of symptoms.
    Conclusions: No specific advantage of memantine was found for reducing the symptoms of withdrawal syndrome in the present study. However, this drug was well tolerated without any evidence of serious or significant adverse effects.
