Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most common gastrointestinal diseases related to the psychological status of the patient. The aim of this study is to assess the relation of GERD with general psychological wellbeing (GPWB). This population study was performed among adult residents of Tehran, Iran in 2013. We invited high school and university educated healthy appearing subjects who were members of a health surveillance study in district number 11 of Tehran to reply to the GPWB query. Participants were divided into two groups, GERD patients and controls. We compared the dimensions of GPWB among these two groups. A total of 135 persons with a mean age of 35.5 ± 13 years were recruited for study participation. Approximately 30% of men and 23% of women had at least weekly GERD symptoms. Anxiety was significantly more common among GERD patients than controls. General health and positive well-being were significantly impaired among GERD patients. Assessment of self-representation of wellbeing and distress in GERD patients and consideration of new, relevant therapeutic avenues are important for the control of GERD.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common causes of abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation.This disorder results in numerous clinic visits. IBS is a health problem with a high social and economic burden due to the lack of an effective treatment. Its etiology consists of biological, psychological and social factors.There is increasing evidence that psychotherapy, in particular cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) which is a type of self-management intervention, can significantly improve IBS symptoms and disability compared tocommon medical treatment. Changes to cognition rather than mood and changing the negative perception of IBS patients appears to be a particularly important treatment mechanism. In this study we review current and emerging CBT and its efficacy in IBS patients.

Background and linguistic phonemes-phonetics contradiction is one of the major factors underlying the effects of stress on students is considered… The purpose of this research is to study the linguistic phonemes-phonetics contradiction and the mental arithmetic caused by stress effect creations on activity of autonomic nervous system (systolic blood pressure، diastolic blood pressure، heart rate) in the high school students. 30 female students from each education level of high school in one of the high schools at disrtict5 of Tehran education system were selected randomly. After ensuring of their physical and mental health they were divided to 2 equal groups In first group، linguistic phonemes-phonetics contradiction (reading of Finglish text) and in second group the mental arithmetic (PASAT test) were performed. Systolic blood pressure، diastolic blood pressure، heart rate، was measured at 3 steps. At 8-9 o’clock in the morning. The two types of stress creation in mental arithmetic and linguistic phonemes-phonetics contradiction have no significant differences (p>0. 05) in the change of composition of the dependent variable (systolic blood pressure، diastolic blood pressure، heart rate in 3 steps). Indicators in two experimental groups have significant increase (p<0. 05) after both intervention. linguistic phonemes-phonetics contradiction and mental arithmetic as sources of stress creation increase systolic blood pressure. diastolic blood pressure، heart rate، in female students and this increase was same in both of experimental groups.
