    Abstract Objectives: Common mental disorders (CMDs), including depression, anxiety, and somatoform disorders, affect all stages of life and impact individuals, families, and communities. This study aimed to determine the magnitude of CMDs and their sociodemographic determinants in the adult population of a rural block in North India.
    Material and methods: A cross-sectional, quantitative, community-based study was conducted among adult residents of a rural block in Haryana, North India, using a multistage random sampling technique. The Hindi version of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), a well-validated tool, was used to screen participants for CMDs. Scores of 4 or above denoted the presence of CMDs. Bivariate analyses were performed to determine the associations between CMDs and sociodemographic characteristics.
    Results: Of the 180 residents selected for the study, most were women (60.0%) and aged between 31 and 50 years (52.3%). The prevalence of CMDs symptoms in the study population was 20.0%. The presence of CMDs symptoms was significantly higher among those who were aged 60 years or older [OR=12.33, 95% CI 3.21-47.38], widowed, divorced or separated [OR=7.50, 95% CI 1.09-51.52], illiterate [OR= 6.25, 95% CI 2.84-13.77], had monthly family income below 10,000 INR [OR=3.33, 95% CI 1.54-7.20], had any chronic physical illness [OR=8.28, 95% CI 3.70-18.56] and had a family history of any psychiatric illness [OR=5.56, 95% CI 1.52-19.42].
    Conclusion: The burden of CMDs was quite high among adults in rural North India. The presence of CMDs was closely associated with sociodemographic characteristics. Primary care and community-based settings need to screen for, diagnose, and manage CMDs to address this growing problem.

    Abstract Background: Internet is an integral part of the daily life of everyone. Internet addiction (IA) is one of the major concerns, specifically among young adults. The association between IA, depression, anxiety, and psychological well-being (PWB) is least studied in young adults.
    Purpose: To evaluate IA and its association with psychological morbidity and PWB in a larger sample size. In addition, to examine the factors that are associated with IA.
    Methods: A total of 1287 young students were evaluated in the present study. Participants were evaluated on the Internet Addiction Test (IAT), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and Psychological Well-Being Index-22.
    Results: The mean age of the study's participants is 19.5 years. The majority were female (68.9%), from nuclear families (61.8%), and belonged to urban localities (61.5%). On IAT, 15.9% had a presence of IA with a cut-off score of 50. 27.4% and 20.5% had a presence of depression and anxiety with a cut-off score of 10 on the PHQ-9 and GAD-7, respectively. Approximately two-thirds (66.7%) reported poor PWB. IA had a significant positive association with depression and anxiety and a negative association with PWB. Male students, the presence of depression, anxiety, and poor PWB were independent factors associated with IA.
    Conclusion: Internet addiction is highly prevalent among college students and has a significant association with anxiety, depression, and poor PWB. There is a need to develop a structured plan, educational strategy, and program to minimize IA in young adults.

    Abstract Background: While telepsychiatry became a prominent and widely used service in the COVID-19 pandemic-related lockdown, data regarding the patient's experience of telepsychiatry consultations is lacking.
    Materials and methods: In this study, we attempted to understand the experience and level of satisfaction of 129 patients receiving psychiatry consultations over video consultations from April 2021 to December 2021. We also tried to understand the factors that might be associated with the satisfaction of the patients.
    Results: About three-fourths (77.5%) of the respondents were very satisfied with the quality of care provided and the overall experience of the consultation. The majority (92.2%) of the respondents reported that they would "definitely" recommend the telepsychiatry service to a friend or relative in need of a psychiatric consultation. The majority of the patients expressed high levels of satisfaction with the amount of time spent, the amount of freedom in expressing themselves, the amount of freedom in choosing the treatment option, the prescription provided, and the number of medications prescribed. The clarity of voice and the quality of connectivity throughout the consultation were found to be associated with the level of satisfaction.
    Conclusions: The present study suggests that overall satisfaction with teleconsultations was high among patients and/or caregivers for telepsychiatry consultations.

    Abstract Despite the availability of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and being one of the safest modalities of treatment, the use of ECT is still underused in patients with mental retardation with catatonia. However, the available limited literature suggests that ECT can be used safely with proper monitoring and assessment, especially in those presenting with catatonia in mental retardation. We treated a 17-year-old boy who presented to us with catatonia with mental retardation with a course of 12 ECT, with which the catatonia resolved completely. Review of the literature suggests that the occurrence of catatonia is rare in mental retardation. However, ECT can be used in a rare case with precautions.

    Abstract Anxiety disorder during pregnancy has an adverse effect on the fetal, Obst, and neonatal outcomes. There is controversy about the use of psychotropic during pregnancy. The effective, safest, and easy to administer, nonpharmacological intervention is the unmet need. Biofeedback therapy is an acceptable and effective therapy for anxiety symptoms during pregnancy. We report a case of a young pregnant presented with anxiety symptoms in the first trimester along with recurrent panic attacks. The patient was managed with Biofeedback therapy, without any prenatal or postnatal complication. Future studies are required to understand the efficacy and effectiveness of biofeedback therapy.

    Abstract Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is one of the most common psychiatric disorders and only less than 50% of MDD patients achieve remission after the first antidepressant trial. Hence, it is important to understand the factors associated with response to various antidepressant medications. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a member of the neurotrophin family. BDNF and Val66Met polymorphism in the BDNF gene has a role in MDD. This study aimed to determine the association of rs6265 polymorphism and serum BDNF level with response to treatment in MDD patients.
    Methods: The study included 200 subjects, consisting of 100 MDD patients treated with oral antidepressants and 50 treated with ECT, and 50 healthy controls. Serum BDNF levels were estimated using ELISA and rs6265 polymorphism was genotyped using tetra-primer ARMS PCR.
    Results: Val66Met polymorphism had an association with MDD, and in MDD patients with Met allele was associated with a better response to antidepressants. Serum BDNF level was significantly higher in MDD patients compared to healthy individuals. In MDD patients, lower serum BDNF level was associated with better ECT outcomes.
    Conclusions: Val66Met polymorphism in BDNF gene and serum BDNF level has the potential to be used as a biomarker for the prediction of response to oral antidepressants and ECT in MDD patients. The presence of the Met allele might be used to predict the chances of occurrence of MDD in the future. The results of our study might form a basis for the development of personalized treatment for MDD in the future.

    Abstract Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to widespread controversies related to the transmission, treatment, prevention, and management of COVID-19 infection. Medical students have been involved in patient care across the globe and many a times the general public looks forward towards the medical professionals to get proper information about various issues related to COVID-19. We aimed to evaluate the knowledge and misconceptions held by the medical students on various aspects of COVID-19 infection.
    Subjects and methods: An online cross-sectional survey was conducted through the Survey Monkey® platform using the Whatsapp®, among the medical undergraduate students of a tertiary care Institute of Eastern India.
    Results: 236 medical students (of different years of medical training/MBBS) participated in the survey and the response rate to the survey was 47.2%. The mean age of the participants was 20.91 (SD-1.86) years, and about three-fifths were males (58.5%). One-third students were either in their first year of MBBS (31.8%) or the final year (35.16%) of MBBS. Incorrect beliefs related to various preventive aspects, risk of increasing chance of getting infection and modes of spread of infection were present in a significant proportion of students, with a wide variation for specific issues. When the number of participants with at least one incorrect related to any of the aspects of COVID-19 infection was evaluated, it ranged from 59% to 85% in different domains.
    Conclusions: This survey highlights the widespread prevalence of misconceptions about various aspects of COVID-19 among medical students, which needs to be addressed by proper education and awareness.
