    Abstract Delusional infestation (DI) is a rare psychiatric disorder characterized by a persistent false belief that one is infected with nonliving or living pathogens, usually accompanied by formication. Other psychotic features, such as disorganized speech or hallucinations unrelated to the core delusion itself, are never present, and the delusional belief does not extend into other areas of life. Secondary DI, when one needs to address the underlying condition in order to achieve adequate treatment, is also possible. We present the case of a 42-year-old male with a 2-year history of having a persistent and firm belief that his house was infested with tiny insects that were constantly biting him and laying their eggs under his skin. His delusional belief was preceded by a complex, years-long substance use disorder, which confronted us with a differential diagnostic dilemma between primary and secondary DI. He was successfully treated with olanzapine pamoate depot, which was introduced to address his lack of insight and unsatisfactory compliance, and his delusion faded away after his symptoms subsided.

  2. Article ; Online: Alcohol, COVID-19 and the smell of relapse: a case report.

    Abstract The global pandemic lockdown created a risk factor for increased alcohol consumption in people with alcohol use disorder and relapse for those who were previously abstinent, with evidence suggesting that pre-lockdown abstinence status is not protective against lockdown-related relapse. We report a unique case of a middle-aged male with alcohol use disorder who experienced alcohol cravings and a fear of relapse due to exposure to disinfectants. A 54-year-old public transportation company worker, previously treated for an alcohol use disorder three times, and abstinent since his last treatment in 2017, reported anxiety, irritability, and constant fear of relapse due to increased exposure to sanitizers during the pandemic. He explained that while the diluted disinfectant made him think of alcohol, the now ever-present undiluted disinfectant makes him constantly crave alcohol and it makes it harder for him to work. Although he started group therapy treatment and had several follow-up visits, his poor performance at work and the fear of relapse resulted in him requesting a position change to work in open spaces and avoid the smell of disinfectant, which helped him remain abstinent. Disinfectants are a part of the "new normal," and their increased use is likely to be continued in the years to come, even after the pandemic resolves. Introducing a new behavioral pattern, such as the daily use of disinfectants in the general population, should prompt us to explore all possible consequences regarding its propagation.

    Abstract Background: The high and increasing prevalence of internet use in the general population and the significant burden of depression and schizophrenia urge us to investigate the patterns of internet use among patients with these illnesses. The aim of this study is to assess internet use and mental health-related internet use among patients suffering from schizophrenia and depression.
    Methods: A total of 104 patients with psychosis and 105 patients with depression were surveyed to assess their internet use and mental health-related internet use.
    Results: The majority of participants were internet users (87.6%), with 66.7% of internet users with psychosis and 71.4% of internet users with depression using it as a source of information on mental health. Participants with psychosis significantly more attributed the internet and mental health internet forums as helpful in coping with their mental illness and were more interested in the utilization of online mental health services than participants with depression.
    Conclusions: General internet use in patients with schizophrenia and depression corresponds with the internet use of the general population; however, they use it more often as a source of health information than the general population. Mental health service providers should offer more online interventions and treatment programs to patients with psychosis and depression, as our study suggests there is an unmet need for online mental health services for such patients.

    Abstract With the significant impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the health, and the functioning of health care system, it has become increasingly important to understand changes in the ways health services were utilized and the factors influencing it. Drop in psychiatric admissions was seen during the pandemic, but also an increase in acute hospitalizations and emergency visits. Our aim was to analyze changes in out- and in-patient services utilization in the largest Croatian psychiatric institution during the first year of the pandemic, observed through the lens of the stringency index, and compare it to the pre-pandemic year. Along with an overall drop in hospitalizations, but a unit-specific rise in hospitalization, we have observed a non-significant overall drop in regular outpatient visits, and a significant drop coinciding with strictest epidemiological measures. There was also a significant increase in emergency visits coinciding with epidemiological measures that failed to return to pre-pandemic values, pointing to an expected significant and prolonged burden on emergency services. Simultaneous analysis of changing dynamics of mental health care service utilization during the pandemic helps us identify specific points of increased burden, and help us plan for early and flexible resources shift in order to adequately respond to evolving challenges.

    Abstract Background: High heterogeneity exists in estimates of the share of and absolute costs of informal care (IC) for individuals diagnosed with dementia.
    Objective: To assess the differences in the share of and absolute costs of IC between subpopulations defined by latent profiles of activities of daily living (ADLs), neuropsychiatric symptoms, and global cognitive functioning.
    Methods: We performed a nested cross-sectional analysis of data collected from 2019-2021 at the Zagreb-Zapad Health Center, Zagreb, Croatia, from a sample of patients and their caregivers. The outcome was the share of costs of IC in the total costs of care estimated using the Resource Utilization in Dementia questionnaire. We used latent profile analysis of six principal components of the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study ADLs inventory, Neuropsychiatric Inventory and Mini-Mental State Examination, and conducted the analysis using beta and quantile regression.
    Results: We enrolled 240 patients with a median age of 74 years; 78% were women. The annual cost for treatment and care for one patient was 11,462 (95% confidence interval 9,947; 12,976) EUR. After the adjustment for covariates, five latent profiles were significantly associated with the share of costs and absolute cost of IC. The adjusted annual costs of IC ranged from 2,157 EUR, with a share of 53% in the first latent profile, to 18,119 EUR, with a share of 78% in the fifth latent profile.
    Conclusion: The population of patients with dementia was heterogeneous, and there were relatively large differences in the share and absolute costs of IC between particular subpopulations.
