Abstract
Introduction Treatment adherence rates among patients of affective disorders remain sub-par across the world. Sociocultural factors affecting the same remain poorly understood. The current study aimed to explore and conceptualize the same. Methodology The study utilized a qualitative grounded and phenomenological approach study design. The patients who fulfilled the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - Fifth edition (DSM-5) criteria of unipolar depression or bipolar affective disorder, and were presently under our treatment for at least three months and currently in remission, aged 18-60 years, and were able to understand Hindi or English, scored less than 6 on the Medication Adherence Rating Scale were included. Furthermore, key caregivers were also included in the study. Using purposive sampling and data saturation, a total of 30 participants were recruited. In-depth interviews were conducted using the cultural formulation interview as given in DSM-5, which was used as the interview tool. Thematic analysis of data was performed using Atlas.ti version 8.4.3. Results A total of 14 themes (deductive and inductive) emerging from 171 codes were identified. Some of the important inductive themes included cultural and societal attitude toward illness and treatment-seeking, trust, experience, and expectations from available health care, faith healing-related practices and beliefs. The implicit themes such as cultural understanding of the problem and cultural factors affecting help-seeking, also showed prudent findings. Conclusion The study findings demonstrate the various features of the sociocultural milieu and identity of an individual and family that have an influence on treatment-seeking behavior.

Abstract
Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is often found to be comorbid with bipolar disorder (BD) in children and adolescents. Both disorders are characterized by chronic irritability, emotional dysregulation, and behavioral problems. These overlapping symptoms often lead to diagnostic difficulty. In addition, ODD-BD comorbidity also presents multiple therapeutic challenges. Here, we describe the case of an adolescent male, who presented with comorbid ODD and BD, along with multiple diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Abstract
COVID-19 has adversely affected the lives of people with bipolar disorder (BD). We have reported three patients with BD, who suffered from relapse after being diagnosed with COVID-19. Patient X is a 54-year-old man who developed manic episode, while Y is a 63-year-old man and Z is a 52-year-old woman who developed severe depression after being hospitalized for COVID-19. In this case series, three patients with BD who developed manic or depressive episodes during COVID-19 infection have been described. Adequate liaison between consultation-liaison psychiatrist and primary medical team was done. Rational pharmacotherapy along with psychosocial interventions led to favorable outcomes in all three cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS People with diabetes have multiple psychosocial issues related to diabetes and its complications and this may be exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS We reviewed the psychological adaptative difficulties in people with diabetes especially during natural disasters including the prevailing COVID-19 pandemic. RESULTS There are significant concerns regarding worsening of glycemic control, unavailability of appropriate medicines, inaccessibility to health care or acquiring SARS- CoV-2 infection and subsequent poorer outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although there are some guidance documents for managing diabetes and associated complications during COVID-19 pandemic but very few address the psychological issues in people with diabetes. We discuss the psychological adaptive difficulties and an approach to address the psychosocial concerns in people with diabetes during the COVID-19 pandemic. CONCLUSIONS People with diabetes have significant diabetes distress and psychological adaptive difficulties that is aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic. An integrated multidisciplinary approach is needed to manage the prevailing psychological issues amongst people with diabetes during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
Clozapine induced gastrointestinal hypomotility (CIGH) has been suggested as one of the most common causes of significant morbidity and mortality. It commonly presents as constipation, but the reports of other small or large intestinal complications with fatal outcomes are not uncommon. Hereby, we report the case of a 24-year-old male, suffering from schizophrenia and being managed with clozapine, who developed symptoms of acute intestinal obstruction due to ceco-colic volvulus. Subsequently, he was found to have intestinal malrotation at emergency laparotomy and underwent de-rotation of cecal volvulus and right hemicolectomy. He did well in the postoperative period and afterwards. Cecal volvulus which in itself is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in adults has not been observed consequent to clozapine treatment and required surgical therapy.

Abstract
Background
The management of women with bipolar disorder during the pregnancy period is a challenging task, as such patients are at a higher risk of relapse during the pregnancy and the early postpartum period. No approach is without risk and clinicians are faced with difficult choices at every turn.
Case presentation
We present a case of a female with bipolar disorder, who presented with mania during the second trimester and we faced several challenges in her treatment during pregnancy, post-partum and the subsequent follow-up period.
Conclusion
For a favourable outcome to both mother and child, prenatal care providers can have individualised discussions regarding mental health issues in addition to neonatal risks from bipolar disorder and/or medications side effects and facilitating liaisons with health professionals to manage the complications and associated risks.

Abstract
Schizophrenia occurs very uncommonly in children younger than 13 years. The disease is preceded by premorbid difficulties, familial vulnerability, and a prodromal phase. The occurrence of positive psychotic symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations depends on the level of cognitive development of child. Furthermore, at times it is very difficult to differentiate the psychopathology and sustain a diagnosis of schizophrenia in view of similarities with disorders such as autism, mood disorders, and obsessive compulsive disorders. Here, we present three case studies with varying presentation of childhood-onset psychosis/schizophrenia and associated management issues.
