Psychopharmacological treatment of trichotillomania in an adolescent case: Significant improvement with aripiprazole augmentation [Bir ergen olguda trikotilomaninin psikofarmakolojik tedavisi: Aripiprazol augmentasyonu ile belirgin iyileşme]
Trichotillomania (TTM) is a chronic impulse control disorder characterized by pulling out one’s own hair, resulting in noticeable hair loss. The emergence of TTM is generally in adolescence. A number of pharmacological agents and psychotherapy (especially cognitive-behavioral therapy) have been used in the treatment of TTM but in the literature, no consensus has yet been established. Here, we report the case of a 15-year-old adolescent with trichotillomania who responded to aripiprazole treatment. © 2014, Cukurova Univ Tip Fakultesi Psikiyatri Anabilim Dali. All rights reserved
Psychopharmacological Treatment of Trichotillomania in an Adolescent Case: Significant Improvement with Aripiprazole Augmentation
Resistência ao tratamento nos transtornos de ansiedade: fobia social, transtorno de ansiedade generalizada e transtorno do pânico
The definition of treatment resistance in anxiety disorders: a Delphi method-based consensus guideline
\ua9 2024 World Psychiatric Association.Anxiety disorders are very prevalent and often persistent mental disorders, with a considerable rate of treatment resistance which requires regulatory clinical trials of innovative therapeutic interventions. However, an explicit definition of treatment-resistant anxiety disorders (TR-AD) informing such trials is currently lacking. We used a Delphi method-based consensus approach to provide internationally agreed, consistent and clinically useful operational criteria for TR-AD in adults. Following a summary of the current state of knowledge based on international guidelines and an available systematic review, a survey of free-text responses to a 29-item questionnaire on relevant aspects of TR-AD, and an online consensus meeting, a panel of 36 multidisciplinary international experts and stakeholders voted anonymously on written statements in three survey rounds. Consensus was defined as ≥75% of the panel agreeing with a statement. The panel agreed on a set of 14 recommendations for the definition of TR-AD, providing detailed operational criteria for resistance to pharmacological and/or psychotherapeutic treatment, as well as a potential staging model. The panel also evaluated further aspects regarding epidemiological subgroups, comorbidities and biographical factors, the terminology of TR-AD vs. “difficult-to-treat” anxiety disorders, preferences and attitudes of persons with these disorders, and future research directions. This Delphi method-based consensus on operational criteria for TR-AD is expected to serve as a systematic, consistent and practical clinical guideline to aid in designing future mechanistic studies and facilitate clinical trials for regulatory purposes. This effort could ultimately lead to the development of more effective evidence-based stepped-care treatment algorithms for patients with anxiety disorders
