love trauma syndromes cause major emotional problems and it is necessary for experts to investigate this issue comprehensively. According to the research, this study sought to investigate the role of emotional pain variables, experiential avoidance, and forgiveness in predicting the occurrence of love trauma syndromes. This research is a descriptive-post event study using the Pearson correlation and regression methods. For this purpose, first, questionnaires on love trauma syndrome (1999), Heartland forgiveness scale (2005), mental pain (2003), and acceptance and action questionnaire (2004) were prepared for women aged 18 to 35 years in Isfahan who experienced love trauma in the last six months at most. The targeted form was sent, and 195 questionnaires were included in the analysis. People's scores in the love trauma syndrome questionnaire were considered as criteria variables and scores in mental pain, experiential avoidance, and forgiveness were considered variables predicting group membership. The results were analyzed by the diagnostic analysis method. The results indicate a significant diagnostic function that explains the variance of the groups formed (P> 0.05). The experiential avoidance scale (r=-0.77), the mental pain scale (r=-0.75), and the forgiveness scale finally have the highest predictive value in differentiating the two groups from each other (r=+0.44). The results showed that people with the experience of love trauma syndrome in the scale of experiential avoidance and mental pain (loss of control, irreversibility, emotional overcrowding, self-estrangement, freezing, confusion, narcissistic injury, and social distance) and forgiveness variable (forgiveness for others and forgiveness for situations) can be distinguished without it. These results can be useful for mental health professionals who are somehow related to youth issues.

Bipolar disorder as a complex chronic disease is characterized by mood changes, mental pain followed by harmful behaviors such as suicide attempts. The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the relationship between suicidal thoughts and mental pain of people with bipolar disorders in 2022.

This study is a cross-sectional descriptive study on 200 patients with bipolar disorder selected from patients admitted to psychiatric wards in Iran hospital by continuous sampling. After obtaining written consent, mental pain and Beck suicidal ideation questionnaires were completed. Descriptive data were analyzed and reported using tables of frequency, mean and standard deviation and quantitative data by inferential statistics using independent t-test, chi-square and analysis of variance in SPSS-v.16 software.

Mental pain has a direct relationship with suicide in patients with mood disorders (0.653>0.001), as there was a direct and significant correlation between suicidal thoughts and all dimensions of mental pain except social distancing and emptiness. The highest correlation of suicidal thoughts was with the dimension of emotional disturbance (r=0.882) and the lowest correlation was with the dimension of confusion (r=0.182). Discussion and

The findings of the present study indicate the association and direct relationship between mental pain and suicidal thoughts in patients with bipolar disorder and the importance and necessity of considering this case in the treatment of these patients.

Depression and love trauma syndrome are characterized by changes in mood and emotions and disruptions in performance.

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of emotion focused therapy on mental pain, experiential avoidance, and forgiveness in women with depression, who experienced a romantic relationship breakup.

In the present study, a semi-experimental, pretest-posttest, control group design with a three-month follow-up was employed. The statistical population consisted of all females, aged 18-35 years, who experienced a romantic relationship breakdown in Isfahan, Iran, in 2021. Thirty participants were selected via available sampling and randomly divided into control and experimental groups. The experimental group participated in 10 sessions of emotion focused therapy (90 minutes per session). For data collection, the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-V Axis I Disorders (SCID-I), Love Trauma Syndrome Questionnaire (1999), Beck Depression Inventory (1996), Heartland Forgiveness Scale (2005), Orbach & Mikulincer Mental Pain Scale (2003), and Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (2004) were used. Descriptive and inferential data were analyzed in SPSS Version 24, using repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA).

The results indicated significant differences in the mean scores of mental pain, experiential avoidance, and forgiveness between the experimental and control groups (P<0.001). Regarding these variables, 73.1%, 39.7%, and 80.1% of the variance between the groups in the post-test, and 76.2%, 41.8%, and 77.1% of the variance between the groups in the follow-up were attributed to the effects of intervention, respectively.

The emotion focused therapy was effective in improving the mental pain, experiential avoidance, and forgiveness of women with depression and who experience relationship breakdown. Therefore, this method can be used to improve the emotional health of these women.

Mental disorders are associated with a complex self-centered experience of negative emotions such as despair and lack of mental pain. This study aims to determine the mental pain of people with bipolar disorder (BD) hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital in Tehran, Iran.

This is a cross-sectional study. Participants were 153 patients with BD admitted to Iran Psychiatric hospital, who were selected by continuous sampling. Data collection tools were a demographic form and Orbach Mikulincer Mental Pain (OMMP) Scale. Data were analyzed in SPSS software, version 16 software using descriptive and inferential statistics.

The mean score of OMMP scale in patients was 109.56±36.93. The variables of suicide attempt (P<0.001), economic status (P=0.002), and employment status (P=0.02) status had a significant relation with the mental pain of patients.

The mental pain of hospitalized patients with BD in Tehran is at a moderate level. Patients with poor financial status, unemployed patients, and those with a history of suicide attempt have higher mental pain.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an incapacitating chronic disorder. Traffic accidents are one of the most common causes of mental disorders associated with trauma. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of cognitive-existential therapy on mental pain and self-criticism in women with symptoms of PTSD.

The research was quasi-experimental, based on the pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population included all women with symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder due to road accidents admitted to the neurology clinic of Farabi Educational and Medical Center in Kermanshah in 2020. Using the availability sampling method, 30 people were selected and randomly divided (lottery method) into an experimental group (n=15) and a control group (n=15). They completed the mental pain questionnaire (Orbach et al, 2003), the self-criticism questionnaire (Zuroff and Thompson, 2004), and the Traumatic Stress Disorder Questionnaire (Reed and Norris, 1997). In the experimental group, cognitive-existential therapy was conducted in ten 1.5-hour sessions, 1 session per week, but the control group did not receive any medical intervention. At the end of the training, both groups underwent the post-test. The data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance.

The results showed that cognitive-existential therapy was effective in reducing the scores of total self-criticism (Eta=0.56, p=0.016, F=4.45) and the dimensions of internal and comparative self-criticism in the experimental group in the post-test. In addition, cognitive-existential therapy significantly reduced mental pain in the experimental group (Eta=0.63, p=0.001, F=13.33).

Cognitive-existential therapy seems to be a cost-effective, non-pharmacological and effective program that reduces mental pain and self-criticism in patients with post-traumatic stress disorder.

Non-suicidal self-harm behaviors are prevalent in military settings, especially among soldiers, and are a major mental health concern. Thus, the aim of the current study was to examine the mediating role of self-compassion in the relationship of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) with mental pain.

The research method was descriptive-correlational through structural equation modeling. The study population consisted of all soldiers, referring to the psychiatric and psychology section of a military hospital in Tehran, Iran in 2018-2019. 207 soldiers were selected by convenience sampling from this population. Participants completed the questionnaire of Deliberate Self-Harm and scales of mental pain and self-compassion. Data was analyzed via Pearson correlation coefficient and the path analysis of structural equation modeling with using SPSS-20 and Lisrel-8.80.

NNSI have significant positive correlations with mental pain (r=0.30; p<0.001), and self-compassion (r=-0.31; p<0.001). There was a significant negative relationship between self-compassion and mental pain (r=-0.56; p<0.001). Moreover, the results of path analysis showed that self-compassion played a mediating role in the relationship of NSSI with mental pain.

Based on the current findings, self-compassion can serve as a protective factor against mental pain. Thus, this factor can be considered in the formulation of prevention and treatment programs for non-suicidal self-injury behaviors in soldiers.
