Abstract

We conducted a systematic review of studies employing complex systems approaches (i.e., agent based and system dynamics models) to understand drivers of mental health and inform mental health policy. We extracted key data (e.g., purpose, design, data) for each study and provide a narrative synthesis of insights generated across studies. The studies investigated drivers and policy intervention strategies across a diversity of mental health outcomes. Based on these studies and the extant literature, we propose a typology of mental health research and policy areas that may benefit from complex systems approaches.

Neu im Fachgebiet Psychiatrie

Digitale Therapie lindert Borderline-Persönlichkeitsstörung

Eine rein digitale Therapie ohne therapeutische Unterstützung kann die Symptomatik bei Borderline-Persönlichkeitsstörung bereits etwas lindern, auch scheint sie das Suizidrisiko zu mindern. Darauf deuten Ergebnisse einer großen kontrollierten Studie. Die Effekte sind aber eher gering.

Schadet Schichtarbeit dem Gehirn?

Eine große Registerstudie bestätigt, dass Schichtarbeit mit einem erhöhten Risiko für psychische und neurologische Erkrankungen einhergeht, sowie mit einer Volumenabnahme in Gehirnarealen, die für Depression, Angst und kognitive Funktionen relevant sind.

Starke Menopausensymptome: ein Hinweis auf kognitive Veränderungen?

Stärkere Beschwerden in der Perimenopause sind mit einer reduzierten kognitiven Funktion in den mittleren und späteren Lebensjahren assoziiert. Auch das Verhalten kann sich ändern, wie eine Studie zeigt. Beides steht womöglich für erhöhte Demenzgefährdung.

Was tun, wenn pneumologische Medikamente Psyche und Blutbild verändern?

Arzneimittel für Patienten mit Mukoviszidose oder pulmonaler arterieller Hypertonie wirken offenbar nicht nur auf die Lunge. Was es in der Praxis zu beachten gilt, wurde beim Pneumologie-Kongress erläutert.
