It is observed that mask addiction which is one of process addiction has been increasing recently. This paper begins with the concept of the addiction and the description of process addiction. Then, Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) which is the fear of social situations that involve interaction with other people is introduced. The patient of SAD tends to fall into mask addiction because he/she can hide their anxiety by covering their faces with masks. This paper presents the cases and recovery processes of mask addiction, and also refers to participation to community for recovery from addictions.

We encountered cases of headache exacerbation in migraine patients living in the Tokyo metropolitan area following the Great East Japan Earthquake in the present study. We investigated the effects of the disaster situation on patients with migraine headaches following the Great East Japan Earthquake as well as their physical symptoms and psychological states using a questionnaire. The questionnaire survey was also conducted to clarify the prevalence of patients with headaches prior to earthquakes. The recovery rate was 65.7% (71/108 people). The seventy-one patients with migraines included 68 female patients (95.8%) and 19 patients that had migraines with an aura (26.8%). The exacerbation of headaches was observed in 24.6% of the migraine patients after the earthquake. Furthermore, a degraded psychological state was noted in patients with worsening headaches who began taking medication for insomnia. However, the disaster situation did not directly affect headache symptoms. Some of the patients examined (7.0%) had headaches prior to earthquakes in the Tokyo metropolitan area. These results indicate that the exacerbation of headaches was observed in migraine patients who exhibited co-morbidities including insomnia and anxiety in the Tokyo metropolitan area away from the affected area. We also showed that some of these patients had headaches prior to earthquakes.

Many people suffer from undue psychological stress in modern society. We here examined whether emotional tears relieve stress and improve mood state. Fourteen healthy students were subjected to a mental arithmetic task, and were subsequently induced to shed tears by viewing emotional movie scenes or cutting onions. A resting state following the task was also used as a control. The mood states were assessed with the Profile of Mood States (POMS). Heart rate variability, especially the ratio between low and high frequency components (LF/HF ratio), was measured to evaluate levels of psychological stress. Fatigue levels of POMS and LF/HF ratio were decreased after shedding tears by viewing emotional movie scenes. In contrast, tears caused by onions, as well as resting state, resulted in little or no reduction in either fatigue levels or LF/HF ratio. These findings demonstrate that emotional tears play an important role in relieving psychological stress and reducing mental fatigue.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a representative stress-related disorder. Major pathophysiological feature of IBS is brain-gut interactions, which is typically manifested by visceral perception and altered stress response. Visceral pain signal is originated from the primary afferent neuron whose cell body is located in the dorsal root ganglia. In the lamina I of the posterior horn of the spinal cord, the primary afferent neuron switches the pain signal via synapse to the second order neuron. The axon of the lamina I neuron ascends the spinothalamic and spinoreticular tract. The pain signal is spread to the insula, anterior cingulate cortex, and the prefrontal cortices via the thalamus. These are the specific pathway from the gut. The lamina I neuron switches its signal to the amygdala and hypothalamus via parabrachial nucleus. Thus, strong intensity of pain signal and/or low pain threshold cause (s) visceral pain as well as stress response including negative emotion. Clarification of the IBS pathophysiology probably provides keys to disclose the synthetic mechanism of negative emotion. Further research is warranted to solve the processing of normal visceral perception as well as pathophysiology in the central nervous system in IBS.

Gambling in Japan is considered to be unique because of pachinko, a legal mechanical gambling device. In 2016, the estimated size of the pachinko market was 197 billion US dollars, far exceeding other types of legal gambling in Japan. The most recent epidemiological study in Japan revealed that prevalence of gambling disorder (GD) was 3.6% for lifetime and 0.8% in the previous 12 months. That study also revealed that only 10% of the participants with a lifetime GD and 17% with a present GD had ever asked for help with gambling, and hardly any of the participants had sought treatment. These results clearly showed a serious treatment gap for participants with GD, as has frequently been reported in other countries. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a standard treatment for GD and a six-session treatment program is conducted at the Kurihama Medical and Addiction Center.Impulsivity is one of the major risk factors for the development of GD. Genetic and environmental factors and their interactions have also been shown to be involved in the development of GD. Stressful life-events are also risk factors for GD. A positive correlation between violence and gambling has only been observed in men and a previous study reported that women tended to gamble to cope with anxiety and negative feelings. Therefore, the relationship between stress and GD might differ by gender.

A stress management program was conducted with junior high school students, mainly by using Self-instructional training (SIT) and then, resulting changes in stress responses and cognitive appraisals perceived as school stress tolerance were investigated. Also, the program was evaluated through a free description questionnaire. Participants were second year junior high school students (N = 216). They were classified into an intervention group (n = 126) and a control group (n = 90). The class-scale stress management program consisting of two sessions, each of 50 minutes, was conducted with the intervention group. The results indicated that the total stress responses score, “irritated-angry feelings,” as well as “helplessness” decreased in the intervention group, compared to the control group. Furthermore, “influence” of cognitive evaluation improved. The above results suggest this stress management program might be effective in junior high school students. The program was evaluated in qualitative ways. It was indicated many participants understood the content of the program and evaluated the class positively. Regarding SIT, almost all participants evaluated SIT positively and recognized the effectiveness of the technique, whereas a few participants mentioned difficulty in developing self-instructions by themselves.

The number of depressive patients is increasing in Japan. Depression is commonly treated with antidepressants and/or psychotherapy, the potential use of exercise as an alternative or complementary treatment for depression has recently received considerable attention. There are a number of physiological reasons why exercise may improve depression. The scientific evidence from prospective cohort studies supports the overall conclusion that regular participation in exercise is associated with reduced depressive symptoms. The results of randomized controlled trials indicate that participation in exercise programs reduces depressive symptoms in people diagnosed as depressed, healthy adults, and medical patients without psychiatric disorders. The results of two meta-analyses have demonstrated that effect sizes in intervention studies for depressed people are large. However, the evidence is not always consistent. Despite some inconsistencies in research findings, in the UK, guidelines which include exercise as a management strategy for depression; NICE guidelines have recommended structured, supervised exercise programs for mild to moderate depression. Further studies that are methodologically robust are required to determine more accurately the effect of exercise on depression. Optimal physical activity dose for reducing the depressive symptom should be extensively studied to for the prescription of appropriate exercise to improve mental health.

In 2015 we carried out a questionnaire survey of Internet addiction. A total of 10,596 students took part from junior high school. Analysis of the results revealed that 5.7% of students are at high risk of Internet addiction. We also found that the risk is higher for girls, lower grades and those who use social networking services (7.1%). Also we found that tendency for addiction is strongly related with the use to escape from a depressed mood and stress. There are several types of Internet addiction. These include Internet game addiction, SNS addiction, content addiction, in which users spend long time in contact with content such as videos and gambling-type addiction, in which users become absorbed in Internet auctions and social games. It seems likely that the Japanese cultural climate which places a strong emphasis on conformity puts people at greater risk of SNS addiction than elsewhere. In our 2017 nation-wide survey 20.1% of teenagers are at high risk of Internet addiction. The time Japanese youth spend online is continuing to increase as a result of age lowering for smartphones use. We should develop objective method for detecting addiction.

According to the author’s clinical experiences, patients with developmental disorder, especially autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often develop PTSD-like symptoms following relatively mild stress events such as scolding from parents or teaches, quarrels with others. Another characteristic of the PTSD-like psychopathology in ASD seems to be that very unexpected and accidental details remind the patients of the traumatic event. The relationship between learning disorder and trauma was also discussed.

It is expected that preventing burnout in nursing students reduces their dropout rates and nurses’ decisions to leave the job. In addition to reducing negative automatic thoughts, it is necessary to pay attention to rumination, which is assumed to be a maintenance factor, when examining the prevention of burnout. However, the association between rumination and negative automatic thoughts and burnout in nursing students is unclear. In this study, we conducted a questionnaire survey among 159 nursing students and examined the model hypothesis that rumination promotes negative thoughts and facilitates burnout in nursing students. The results showed that rumination mediated negative automatic thoughts and worsened the effects of burnout. This study suggests the importance of intervening for rumination in order to prevent burnout among nursing students.

This study investigated the effects of stressors for university students and their big five personality traits on dream recall frequency classified by dream emotion. The following results were obtained: i) stressors and Neuroticism had an interactive effect on dream recall frequency. ii) Stressors had main effects on sad, anxious, and unpleasant dream recall frequency. iii) Extroversion was negatively correlated with nightmare recall frequency and positively correlated with pleasant dream recall frequency. iv) Neuroticism was negatively correlated with pleasant dream recall frequency and positively with sad, anxious, strange, and unpleasant dream recall frequency. v) Agreeableness was negatively correlated with nightmare recall frequency and positively with unpleasant dream recall frequency. These results showed that stressors related to mainly negative dream recall and emotions of recalled dreams varied by the dimensions of big five. The findings implicate that mental support for enhancing stress-coping according personality traits can be effective to prevent harmful effects after awakening from negative dream recall.

This study reviewed previous studies and discussed the relationship between sedentary behaviour and mental health in older adults. We also discussed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on sedentary behaviour and mental health in older people. The findings suggest that longer sedentary time may have a negative impact on mental health. Especially, previous studies consistently reported that mentally-passive sedentary behaviour, such as television viewing, is associated with poorer mental health in older adults. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected people of all ages, including the older population, by decreasing their physical activity and increasing their sedentary time. These changes in activity have led to deterioration in mental health. Therefore, it is essential to send public health messages to people encouraging them to reduce sedentary time in their daily lives and be physically active to maintain and improve their health, including their mental health, even in the COVID-19 pandemic. It is crucial to reduce mentally-passive sedentary behaviour, such as television viewing, to maintain mental health in older people.

Developmental Disorder includes, Pervasive Developmental Disorders, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Learning Disorders listed in DSM-IV-TR. Moreover, Intellectual Disabilities are thought to be included in this criteria. Although Developmental Disorder was classified into a big category of “Disorders Usually First Diagnosed in Infancy, Childhood, or Adolescence” in DSM-IV-TR, it is classified into a big category of “Neurodevelopmental Disorders” due to DSM-5 in May, 2013. In this article, we explain the outline of the “Neurodevelopmental Disorders”, and the clinical characteristics of Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, and other disorders due to DSM-5.

Many individuals with developmental disorders, especially autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, cannot adjust themselves to their daily living environment (e.g., home, school, or work). This is a result of their poor social skills and the inappropriate stimuli they receive (e.g., bullying by classmates, severe rebuke from parents or teachers), which are based on an improper understanding of their condition and its features. Their stressful environments may result in secondary disabilities such as depression, anxiety, and stress-related disorders (e.g., adjustment disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, reactive attachment disorder, or disinhibited social engagement disorder). In individuals with mild features of developmental disorders, these symptoms are often overlooked in childhood, and are pointed out to them only in adulthood, when secondary disabilities are already fixed. To enable early detection and to support individuals with developmental disorders, efforts should be made to impart a proper understanding of these disabilities to the general population.

Relationship between stress coping, social support and stress reactions of mothers parenting disabled children was investigated. A questionnaire survey was conducted with mothers with disabled children (n=127, average age=35.88, SD=4.49), inquiring about parenting stress, stress coping, stress reactions and social support. Mothers with healthy children (n=418, average age=35.92, SD=3.95) served as a control group. The results of simultaneous analysis of group data indicated that social support for mothers facilitated stress coping and increased mental health. On the other hand, informal support was not effective for stress relief of mothers with disabled children. Moreover, formal support promoted emotion focused coping through "catharsis," or "relaxation." It is suggested that it is important for government institutions to not only offer information, but also contribute to the mental relaxation of mothers with disabled children.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between job search stressors, mental health and social skills in Japanese university students. The subjects were 448 Japanese university students (171 males, 277 females). The questionnaire contained demographics, the state of job hunting, the 12-item General Health Questionnaire Japanese version (Nakagawa & Daibo, 1985), the Job Search Stressor Scale (Kitami, 2009), and the 18-item Kikuchi's Social Skills Scale (Kikuchi, 1988). 1) Analysis by t-test revealed a significant difference in the job search stressors between groups with high and low social skills. 2) The result of regression analysis revealed that low social skills showed higher job search stressors and stronger influence of job search stressors on mental health. These results suggest to reduce job search stressors and to promote mental health by improve the social skills.

Despite the fact that induced discovery is considered to be an essential element of cognitive behavioral therapy, fundamental study of it is still uncommon. Through an empirical examination of this point, the paper notes how some previous studies have incorporated the perspective of “Total conviction” which is a core element of induced discovery. However, the factors promoting “Total conviction” are yet to be examined. Therefore, in this study, in order to model and investigate the hypothesis that an “impasse” in everyday problem-solving situations can serve to promote “Total conviction” toward problem-solving strategies, as well as inspire a sense of willingness toward a problem, we conducted a questionnaire survey of 368 university students. This resulted in a model showing a series of associations whereby the mediation of “Total conviction” by the intensity of an “impasse” exerted a positive effect on willingness to engage with a problem. This study suggests the possibility that an everyday “impasse” may be a driving factor in bringing about problem-solving behavior.

This study investigated the psychological health among junior high school students who evacuated following Fukushima nuclear accident. Ten students living in temporary housing (4 boys and 6 girls) and 530 students living outside the disaster area (258 boys, 270 girls, and 2 unknowns) participated in this survey to measure their stress responses, positive affect, and social support. The results were as follows: (a) the students in temporary housing showed higher scores in physical responses, depression/anxiety, and irritation/anger subscales in stress inventory, positive affect, and family and friend support, but did lower score in helplessness subscale and lower teacher support than the students outside the disaster area, (b) the ratio of the students who reported high stress responses, interrupted sleep and early waking was higher among the students in temporary housing compared to the students outside the disaster area. These results suggested the need for medium- to long-term psychological support for the students living in temporary housing.

In this study, a discomfort feeling scale to other’s gaze was made based on the free description survey, and the relation with metacognition was examined. As a result, the discomfort feeling scale to other’s gaze consisted of a two factors structure of “anxiety/fear” factor and “irritability” factor. And people who were easily embarrassed by other’s gaze had low self-control ability. Also, females were more likely to feel uncomfortable (especially “irritability” factor) to the gaze of others than male.
