Disease relevance of Social Adjustment

• PURPOSE: To study the effect of childhood-onset epilepsy without other neurologic deficit on adult social adjustment and competence [1].
• Adult male patients affected with Becker (BMD, N = 22), limb girdle (LGMD, N = 22) and facioscapulohumeral (FSHMD, N = 18) muscular dystrophy were interviewed to assess for the first time how the disease's severity and recurrence risk (RR) magnitude alter their social adjustment [2].

Psychiatry related information on Social Adjustment

• The purpose of this study is to reveal the relationship between family expressed emotion (EE) and family evaluation for symptoms and social adjustment of schizophrenic patients [3].
• Subjects were assessed using the Operational Criteria for Psychotic Illness checklist (OPCRIT, n = 496), the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD, n = 47), the Social Adjustment Scale (SAS, n = 160), and the Self-Esteem Scale (SES, n = 160) [4].
• The objective of this analysis was to evaluate the short- (8 weeks) and long-term (24 weeks) efficacy of three fixed doses of venlafaxine extended release (ER) and placebo on the social adjustment of patients with generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) [5].
• The Social Adjustment Scale-Self Report Version (SAS-SR) was used to assess a broad range of social functioning before and after acute treatment in 41 outpatients with unipolar depression who responded to fluoxetine and then continued on this antidepressant [6].
• Self-esteem (SE) and social adjustment (SA) are often impaired during the course of affective disorders; this impairment is associated with suicidal behaviour [7].

High impact information on Social Adjustment

• Predictors of the postpartum blues were personal and family history of depression, social adjustment, stressful life events, and levels of free and total estriol [8].
• There was no evidence that depressed alcoholics showed a better treatment response than nondepressed alcoholics or that lithium had any significant impact on the mood or social adjustment of alcoholics [9].
• Systemic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis: cognitive function and social adjustment [10].
• Patients who had had low platelet MAO activity had significantly better social adjustment and fewer schizophrenic symptoms at follow-up [11].
• The authors completed ratings of premorbid sexual and social adjustment and assays of the CSF homovanillic acid (HVA), 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), and probenecid concentrations in 108 psychiatric patients [12].

Chemical compound and disease context of Social Adjustment

• Improvements in social adjustments were reported to be more favorable with reboxetine than with fluoxetine [13].
• RESULTS: Factor analysis revealed six factors representing poor social adjustment, poor emotional adjustment, sleep problems, over-activity/inattention, eating problems and soiling [14].
• The use of cocaine by heroin-dependent individuals, or by patients in methadone or buprenorphine maintenance treatment, is substantial and has negative consequences on health, social adjustment and outcome of opioid-addiction treatment [15].
• Social adjustment in depressed patients treated with venlafaxine and amitriptyline [16].
• The Social Adjustment Scale (SAS) was used to assess social functioning sequentially over 13 weeks in a group of 188 depressed outpatients randomized to either the noradrenergic antidepressant, nortriptyline, or the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, fluoxetine [17].

Gene context of Social Adjustment

• Children were screened for ADHD and other problems, using the C-DISC, CBLC, TRF and the Social Adjustment Inventory [18].
• CONCLUSION: Our results show that children with ADHD have a variable emotional, educational, and social adjustment despite syndromatic persistence [19].
• Psychologic and social adjustment to epilepsy in Rochester, Minnesota [20].
• Correlations between comparable ratings on the Social Adjustment Scale II (SAS II) ranged from 0.78 to 0.86 [21].
• Until month 20, DLP care improved symptoms and social adjustment slightly more, and enhanced patients' and relatives' satisfaction [22].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Social Adjustment

• All subjects were administered the HAM-d-17 and the Social Adjustment Scale-Self-Report (SAS-SR) before and after treatment with fluoxetine [23].
