          Abstract

          Las enfermedades mentales son comunes, crónicas y discapacitantes, y representan un problema de salud pública importante en nuestro país y en todo el mundo. Para las enfermedades mentales más comunes, disponemos actualmente de intervenciones médicas y psicosociales con eficacia probada. Sin embargo, estas aún son insuficientes, y su disponibilidad no se condice con la alta morbilidad y mortalidad que encontramos para las enfermedades mentales. En respuesta a esto, en los últimos 15 años se ha realizado un esfuerzo considerable para desarrollar técnicas de detección temprana, para personas con alto riesgo clínico de desarrollo de enfermedad mental, e intervenciones precoces para prevenir o retrasar la progresión a la enfermedad completa. Un mayor énfasis en la salud mental y la integración de la atención a la salud mental en todos los programas de desarrollo pertinentes, fortalecerán el esfuerzo general de desarrollo, así como garantizará, por primera vez, la atención sostenida de la inversión y la investigación al principal contribuyente mundial de la pérdida de productividad y carga de enfermedad.

          Mental diseases are common, chronic and disabling, representing a problem in public health of importance in our country and in the world. For most common mental diseases, currently we dispose of medical and psycho social interventions with proven efficacy. Nevertheless, these are not sufficient yet, and their availability does not diminish the morbidity and mortality produced by mental diseases. In order to solve this, a considerable effort has been carried out in the last 15 years to develop techniques of early detection for persons with high clinical risk to develop mental illness and precocious interventions to prevent or delay the progression of full illness. A greater emphasis in mental health and integrating mental health care in all relevant development programs will strengthen the general development effort, as well as it will ensure, for the first time, sustained attention to investment and research to the main world contributor to loss of productivity and disease burden.

            A systematic review of the effectiveness of mental health promotion interventions for young people in low and middle income countries

            Background This systematic review provides a narrative synthesis of the evidence on the effectiveness of mental health promotion interventions for young people in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Commissioned by the WHO, a review of the evidence for mental health promotion interventions across the lifespan from early years to adulthood was conducted. This paper reports on the findings for interventions promoting the positive mental health of young people (aged 6–18 years) in school and community-based settings. Methods Searching a range of electronic databases, 22 studies employing RCTs (N = 11) and quasi-experimental designs conducted in LMICs since 2000 were identified. Fourteen studies of school-based interventions implemented in eight LMICs were reviewed; seven of which included interventions for children living in areas of armed conflict and six interventions of multicomponent lifeskills and resilience training. Eight studies evaluating out-of-school community interventions for adolescents were identified in five countries. Using the Effective Public Health Practice Project (EPHPP) criteria, two reviewers independently assessed the quality of the evidence. Results The findings from the majority of the school-based interventions are strong. Structured universal interventions for children living in conflict areas indicate generally significant positive effects on students’ emotional and behavioural wellbeing, including improved self-esteem and coping skills. However, mixed results were also reported, including differential effects for gender and age groups, and two studies reported nonsignficant findings. The majority of the school-based lifeskills and resilience programmes received a moderate quality rating, with findings indicating positive effects on students’ self-esteem, motivation and self-efficacy. The quality of evidence from the community-based interventions for adolescents was moderate to strong with promising findings concerning the potential of multicomponent interventions to impact on youth mental health and social wellbeing. Conclusions The review findings indicate that interventions promoting the mental health of young people can be implemented effectively in LMIC school and community settings with moderate to strong evidence of their impact on both positive and negative mental health outcomes. There is a paucity of evidence relating to interventions for younger children in LMIC primary schools. Evidence for the scaling up and sustainability of mental health promotion interventions in LMICs needs to be strengthened.

              Partial remission, residual symptoms, and relapse in depression

              Partial remission from depression, with residual symptoms, is an important problem in depression. This paper reviews the frequency and features of this outcome, and its association with relapse. Residual symptoms occur in many depressed patients after acute treatment. They span the typical symptoms of depression, except those characteristic of severe disorders. Other persistent abnormalities include social dysfunction, dysfunctional attitudes, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis overactivity, shortened REM sleep latency, and mood lowering after tryptophan depletion. Associations of some of these with residual symptoms are not clear. There is growing evidence for similar residual symptoms in bipolar disorder, particularly bipolar depression. The most important consequence of residual symptoms is a much-increased risk of relapse, particularly in the first year. Residual symptoms are a strong indication for vigorous and longer than usual continuation of antidepressant treatment, in order to prevent relapse. There is good evidence for the use of cognitive therapy as an adjunct.
