    Abstract In the pandemic period due to the strong restrictions made necessary to deal with the spread of the Sars COVID-19 Virus, adolescents were the subjects who, most of all, suffered from isolation and lack of sociality, due to social distancing. It was necessary to change their habits, their lifestyles, the way they live social relationships and relate to others. Furthermore, those of them who were facing health difficulties at the time were faced with the impossibility of the services to guarantee safety conditions, so that in most cases many medical, psychiatric and psychological activities were suspended, with hospitalizations postponed to a date to be defined, appointments canceled with a high risk of losing contact with the patient. Many authors agreed, right from the start, that the pandemic consequences would have focused above all on psychological problems. The scientific literature on past pandemics had shown the role of fear, anxiety, stress and depression and its negative psychosocial consequences on the quality of life of the population. Samantha Brooks and colleagues from King's College London reviewed 24 studies on the psychological impact of quarantine and highlighted negative psychological effects including symptoms of post-traumatic stress, confusion and anger. Today there are many contributions in the literature which unfortunately confirm what has been hypothesized.

    Abstract World Health Organization Director-General Margaret Chan said that violence against women is a global structural issue. It is a health problem of epidemic dimensions, the analysis of 141 researches carried out in 81 countries shows that 35% of women suffer some form of violence during their lifetime. These data were presented in the largest study ever done on the physical and sexual abuse suffered by women in all regions of the planet. When we talk about violence against women we refer to the definition provided by the United Nations and the World Health Organization. As regards the definition provided by the UN, the expression covers "any act of gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering, including threats of such acts, coercion and arbitrary deprivation of liberty, both in public and private life". The WHO definition outlines violence as "the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself. But the definitions don't end there. The Convention of the Council of Europe, the first regulatory element on the matter of preventing and combating violence against women, states that the term "domestic violence" refers to all acts of violence, whether physical, sexual, psychological or economic, occurring within the family or household or between current or former spouses or partners, whether or not the perpetrator shares or has shared the same residence with the victim. The document, which starts from the same cultural reading of the roots of violence against women, commits the signatory states to protect women from all forms of violence and to prevent, prosecute and eliminate violence against women and domestic violence. The Convention requires states parties to organize "specialised immediate, short- and long-term support services for each victim of any act of violence falling within the scope" of the Convention. Unfortunately violence is a dynamic event, in fact it is constantly changing, so we are witnessing a continuous transformation of the forms of violence. In particular, in this study we will address the issue of secondary victimization, which unfortunately represents an increasingly present form of violence. citation. This form of violence was defined by the American psychologist, William J. Ryan, Jr, who in 1971 defined it as a phenomenon of secondary victimization.

    Abstract Gender dysphoria (GD) describes individuals for whom the native sex and expressed gender are not coincident and most of them self-identify as transgender women or men. It has been shown that genetic factors play an important role in GD and the presence of specific genetic variants in candidate genes could be correlated. On the other hand, twins studies have estimated its heritability. In this review, we collect and report the available data obtained by different molecular genetic studies.

    Abstract The endophenotype is a measurable component which is characterized as an intermediate part of the path existing between the genotype and phenotype of a disease. In the context of psychiatric pathologies, an endophenotype is such if it shares inheritable variations with it, if it is evident both during the active and inactive phases of the pathology, if it is co-transmitted in the family, and if it is evident in both affected family members from pathology, and in healthy people. This review reports the available literature data of the interesting combination between endophenotype and psychiatry.

    Abstract Introduction: According to data released by the Ministry of Health in 2021 in Italy about three million young people suffer from eating disorders with onset before the age of 13 and the number tends to be increasing. This work aims to understand if and to what extent the areas of family functioning are related to the way of eating of adolescents in the period of restriction due to COVID-19. In particular, which dimensions of family functioning can be correlated with dysfunctional eating habits.
    Methodology: The group that took part in the study was composed of 154 non clinical subjects, of which 124 females, 27 males and 3 non-binary gender subjects. The tests used were the McMaster Family Assessment Device and the Binge Eating Scale, in addition a personal data sheet was used containing the details of the subjects who participated anonymously, recruited at the university of Italy. The data have some limitations, first of all the low number of the sample and the online modality in compiling the tests.
    Results: In general, we can say that the Fad and the Bes correlate positively, as the subscales of the Fad increase, the disorganized eating behavior increases and therefore the score of the Bes test. The results of the study indicate that some family dynamics are related to disorganized eating behaviors; it is not possible to establish the specific gravity of the pandemic. It seems likely that compromised family relationships may play a role in promoting the onset of diseases.
    Conclusion: It is appropriate to think of a psychoeducational intervention aimed at families in order to improve immediate family functioning and guarantee young people effective preventive action in subjects at risk in adolescence.

    Abstract The pandemic due to COVID-19 has had a huge psychological impact on individuals all over the world, in particular the international literature is noting an increase in pathologies among children and adolescents adolescenti (Pappa et al. 2020, Keles et al. 2020, Pigaiani et al. 2020, Solmi et al. 2021). Adolescence is a time when individuals observe physical changes in their bodies, experience new interests and desires, and find themselves with greater freedom, independence and responsibility; although variably defined, adolescence is generally believed to begin with the onset of puberty and end with assuming social roles as adults (Dahl 2004, Spear 2000). Among the changes that the adolescent has to face are: accepting one's body, acquiring a social role, female or male, establishing new relationships with peers of both sexes, achieving emotional independence from parents and other adults, acquiring social behavior responsible, learn a system of values and an ethical conscience as a guide to one's behavior, develop intellectual skills and prepare for a profession, achieve independence (Juli 2020). All this is not always easy and, many times young people find themselves facing a tortuous path that can give rise to the onset of some mental pathologies; if we then take into account the pandemic period we are experiencing, all this can get complicated. The data released by the Ministry of Health (2021) in the first months of the year, highlight that in Italy today there are about three million young people suffering from Eating Disorders (ED) with early onset before the age of 13 and the number tends to constantly increase. In 1990 Gordon spoke of Eating Disorders as a real social epidemic both in prevalence and incidence and if the preliminary studies conducted during the last year in which we lived the pandemic experience, confirm the increase of about 30% , in the years to come we will find an entire population of young adolescents with dietary difficulties (Santini et al. 2020).

    Abstract Violence against women is a complex phenomenon that poses many difficulties. The greatest obstacles, however, are those that women themselves encounter, often with children, who choose to get out of the situation or relationship of violence they experience. Material, economic, housing, psychological difficulties; in this difficult path to escape from violence, women need support and support, needs to which I respond to the Anti-violence Centers (CAV) that have been operating in the various territories for years. In Italy, in 2021 ISTAT published a survey on women who have found listening, services, accompaniment and protection at the CAVs and shelters operating on the Italian territory: they are 54,609 (those who have contacted the CAVs at least once), 3,964 more than in 2019; 30,359, on the other hand, have started a path to escape from violence with the CAVs that adhere to the Intesa Stato Regioni, of which 20,223 (66.1% of the total number of women taken into care) have started the process in 2020 (69, 1% the previous year). On 13 July 2022 it was published by D.i.Re. (Women on the Net against violence) a specific and detailed report on the collection of data on women received by the CAVs of the same D.i.Re network in which: 20,711 women, 3.5% more contacts than in 2020, 8 8% more women who had never turned to CAVs. The data takes into account what we have experienced following the restrictions dictated by the Covid -19 pandemic, which has seen the growth of requests for help from women and the difficulty of activating the path of escape from violence with particular important repercussions on the victims who could not even go to hospital emergency rooms clogged with coronavirus patients.

    Abstract Eating Disorders (ED), currently specified as Eating and Nutrition Disorders (DAN), have impacted their morbidity since the last years of the last century, afflicting large segments of the population, predominantly youth, in the westernized "hemisphere." In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and negatively influenced eating behaviors in both the general population and DAN sufferers. In agreement with many authors, distancing and social isolation have produced eating disconducts or aggravated symptoms in patients undergoing treatment. All this has led in many cases, to the demand for urgent and-or emergency care. This paper aims to review recent literature and expose data on such treatment regimens.

    Abstract Mood disorders are mental health class that health professionals use to broadly describe all types of depression and bipolar disorders. Heritability of both bipolar and depressive disorder is in the range of 50%, which means that genes alone are not sufficient to explain all the cases of mood disorders, but they confer a substantial risk which is combined with environmental stressors to determine the final illness. In the recent years, a number of studies considered the idea to develop a strategic plan to employ the tools of genetics to advance the understanding, treatment, and outcomes for mood disorders.
