    Current scientific concerns regarding adolescent mental health support [Articol]
    (CEP USM, 2025) Ciobîcă, Adrian
    This article presents a theoretical analysis highlighting the importance of adolescent mental health, particularly in the context of the growing prevalence of un diagnosed psychological disorders that pose a significant public health challenge. Adolescents are increasingly vulnerable to mental health difficulties due to a range of risk factors, including domestic violence, bullying, and socioeconomic disparities. These conditions frequently manifest as depression, anxiety, behavioral disorders, and suicidal thoughts, with suicide being one of the leading causes of death in this age group. The analysis emphasizes the role of educational institutions in facilitating early intervention through the implementation of evidence-based psychoeducational programs that promote mental health literacy. The proposed approach advocates for the integration of comprehensive educational and social policies that incorporate mental health literacy strategies aimed at both students and educators.

    Particularități psihosociale ale subculturii furry: sinteze teoretice [Articol]
    (CEP USM, 2025) Dolinschi, Cristina
    Într-o societate tot mai diversificată din punct de vedere cultural și identitar, subcultura furry devine un subiect relevant pentru înțelegerea noilor forme de expresie personală, apartenență socială și impact psihologic, reflectând nevoia indivizilor de a explora identități alternative într-un mediu sigur și acceptant. Subcultura furry reunește persoane pasionate de personaje antropomorfe, manifestându-se prin artă, roluri identitare (fursonas) și interacțiuni sociale specifice. Percepțiile externe asupra fenomenului variază, existând atât curiozitate, cât și stereotipuri negative care pot afecta modul în care furries se auto-percep și sunt tratați social. Studiile arată că această comunitate funcționează ca un factor de protecție pentru indivizii marginalizați, facilitând conexiuni autentice. Acest articol analizează particularitățile psihosociale ale subculturii furry, evidențiind impactul asupra identității, relațiilor sociale și bunăstării mentale a membrilor săi.

    Psychological climate of class – factor for prevention and reduction of school aggressiveness
    (CEP USM, 2024) Georgescu, Ioana-Corina; Guțu, Vladimir
    Current research and studies demonstrate that the problem of bullying-type aggressiveness in school is worsening internationally as well as nationally. Various factors that lead to aggressiveness and violence among students are extensively analyzed, including non-vulnerable factors. In recent decades, the focus has been on addressing the problem of bullying in school that is becoming complex and difficult to realize. In the given article, an attempt is made to address the issue of reducing and preventing student aggression by valorizing the values and functions of the students’ class and, above all, the healthy psychological climate. Namely the psychological climate creates a favorable environment for learning and education that strongly influences the behavior of students. The characteristics of psychological climate, the ways of forming a healthy psychological climate, principles and ways of valorizing the classroom climate in preventing and reducing aggressiveness and bullying-type aggressiveness in school are analyzed. Some forms and methods of carrying out this process were also described. The proposed concept opens up new perspectives for preventing and reducing aggressiveness, including bullying in educational institutions.

    THE LINK BETWEEN OBESITY AND MENTAL HEALTH
    (CEP USM, 2020) Pricop, Alexandru Liviu
    Obesity and mental health are serious and prevalent public health concerns worldwide. The study had the purpose of discovering what are the confounding risk factors in the link between obesity and depression. What is the current methodological approach to treat/prevent obesity and depression? How can the interventions be meaningfully improved? Observational data have shown inconsistent results with highly varying differences with regards to gender and country of conduct of the study. The physiological mechanism could not explain the differences among countries which were later clarified by sociological factors, especially by culture and level of obesity stigmatization differences among the countries. The interventional studies were found to be lacking in their methodology as regards to the lack of follow-up and absence of interventions with a joint focus on treating both obesity and depression. As obesity and depression were tackled separately with the purpose of treating the outcome rather than the risk factor, most interventions are deemed by this study insufficient as they can only offer short-term healthrelated relief and quality of life. If the exposure from the risk factor, be it stress, social stigma or socio-economic status, etc. is not dealt with first, it is very likely for either depression/obesity to return on a long-term basis and continue the vicious bi-directional cycle of obesity and depression. The conclusion of the study is that the approach in treatment should be jointly tackling both obesity and depression and that it should be done in a heavily personalized manner. In the future, a standardized method to identify the various underlying risk factors should be created, for example through a multidisciplinary approach via questionnaires alongside laboratory examination.
