    We present the case of a 49-year-old man who was diagnosed with depressive disorder, with the first episode having a strong reactive factor. He was involuntarily admitted to a psychiatric hospital after a failed attempt at taking his own life, where he responded to psychotherapy and antidepressant therapy, as evidenced by a >60% reduction in his MADRS total score. He was discharged after 10 days of treatment, denied having suicidal ideations, and was motivated to follow the recommended outpatient care. The risk for suicide during hospitalization was also assessed using suicide risk assessment tools and psychological assessments, including projective tests. The patient underwent a follow-up examination with an outpatient psychiatrist on the 7th day after discharge, during which the suicide risk assessment tool was administered. The results indicated no acute suicide risk or worsening of depressive symptoms. On the 10th day after discharge, the patient took his own life by jumping out of the window of his flat. We believe that the patient had dissimulated his symptoms and possessed suicidal ideations, which were not detected despite repeated examinations specifically designed to assess suicidality and depression symptoms. We retrospectively analyzed his quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) records to evaluate the change in prefrontal theta cordance as a potentially promising biomarker of suicidality, given the inconclusive results of studies published to date. An increase in prefrontal theta cordance value was found after the first week of antidepressant therapy and psychotherapy in contrast to the expected decrease due to the fading of depressive symptoms. As demonstrated by the provided case study, we hypothesized that prefrontal theta cordance may be an EEG indicator of a higher risk of non-responsive depression and suicidality despite therapeutic improvement

    Psychosocial Impact of Huntington’s Disease and Incentives to Improve Care for Affected Families in the Underserved Region of the Slovak Republic

    Introduction: Huntington’s disease (HD) is often on the margin of standard medical practice due to its low prevalence, the lack of causal treatment, and the typically long premanifest window prior to the onset of the symptoms, which contrasts with the long-lasting burden that the disease causes in affected families. Methods: To capture these socio-psychological aspects of HD and map the experiences of affected individuals, persons at risk of HD, and caregivers, we created a questionnaire using a qualitative research approach. The questionnaire containing 16 questions was conducted online for a period of three months through patient associations in Slovakia and their infrastructures. Results: In total, we received 30 responses. The survey results, in particular, indicate insufficient counselling by physicians with explicitly missing information about the possibility of preimplantation genetic diagnostic. There was also a necessity to improve comprehensive social and health care in the later stages of the disease, raise awareness of the disease in the general health community, and provide more information on ongoing clinical trials. Conclusion: The psychosocial effects, as well as the burden, can be mitigated by comprehensive genetic counselling as well as reproductive and financial guidelines and subsequent therapeutic programs to actively support patients, caregivers, children, and adolescents growing up in affected families, preferably with the help of local HD community association. Limitations: We have used online data collection to reach a wider HD community, but at the same time, we are aware that the quality of the data we would obtain through face-to-face interviews would be considerably better. Therefore, future studies need to be conducted to obtain more detailed information
