Regional, circuit and network heterogeneity of #brain abnormalities in #psychiatric disorders
The substantial individual heterogeneity that characterizes people with mental illness is often ignored by classical case–control research, which relies on group mean comparisons. Here we present a comprehensive, multiscale characterization of the heterogeneity of gray matter volume (GMV) differences in 1,294 cases diagnosed with one of six conditions (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, bipolar disorder,… Continue reading Regional, circuit and network heterogeneity of #brain abnormalities in #psychiatric disorders
#Depression, #anxiety, and the risk of #cancer: An individual participant data meta-analysis
Depression and anxiety have long been hypothesized to be related to an increased cancer risk. Despite the great amount of research that has been conducted, findings are inconclusive. To provide a stronger basis for addressing the associations between depression, anxiety, and the incidence of various cancer types (overall, breast, lung, prostate, colorectal, alcohol-related, and smoking-related… Continue reading #Depression, #anxiety, and the risk of #cancer: An individual participant data meta-analysis
BETTER THAN WE THINK: IS THE TREATMENT OF #DEPRESSED PATIENTS MORE EFFECTIVE THAN WE THINK?
Most studies of depression treatment rely on measures of symptom severity to evaluate outcome. We hypothesized that many patients would consider themselves to have benefitted significantly from treatment despite not being considered a responder according to a measure of depression symptom severity (ie, 50% reduction in symptom score).METHODS: In our study, 854 patients with major depressive… Continue reading BETTER THAN WE THINK: IS THE TREATMENT OF #DEPRESSED PATIENTS MORE EFFECTIVE THAN WE THINK?
Cause-specific excess #mortality after first diagnosis of #bipolar disorder: population-based cohort study
Background Bipolar disorder (BD) is associated with increased mortality, but evidence on cause-specific mortality is limited.Objective To investigate cause-specific premature excess mortality in BD.Methods Finnish nationwide cohort study of individuals with and without a diagnosis of BD who were aged 15–64 years during 2004–2018. Standardised mortality ratios (SMRs) with 95% CIs were calculated for BD using the mortality… Continue reading Cause-specific excess #mortality after first diagnosis of #bipolar disorder: population-based cohort study
Differential network interactions between #psychosocial factors, #mental health, and health-related quality of life in women and men
Psychosocial factors affect mental health and health-related quality of life (HRQL) in a complex manner, yet gender differences in these interactions remain poorly understood. We investigated whether psychosocial factors such as social support and personal and work-related concerns impact mental health and HRQL differentially in women and men during the first year of the COVID-19… Continue reading Differential network interactions between #psychosocial factors, #mental health, and health-related quality of life in women and men
The influence of emotion regulation strategies and sleep quality on depression and anxiety
Chronic stress is a major risk factor for a number of mental health disorders, including depression and pathological anxiety. Adaptive cognitive emotion regulation (CER) strategies (i.e. positively-focused thought processes) can help to prevent psychiatric disturbance when enduring unpleasant and stressful experiences, but little is known about the inter-individual factors that govern their success. Sleep plays an important… Continue reading The influence of emotion regulation strategies and sleep quality on depression and anxiety
Physical Activity Dose and Depression in a Cohort of Older Adults in The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing
Importance Among older adults (aged ≥50 years), depression is associated with an increased risk of physical, social, and cognitive dysfunction. Regular moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) has been associated with lower odds of depression. However, the lowest dose for protection against depression and the extent to which exceeding this level conveys additional protection are unknown.Objective To… Continue reading Physical Activity Dose and Depression in a Cohort of Older Adults in The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing
The effect of mindfulness and motivational interviewing along with neuromuscular exercises on pain, function, and balance of women affected by knee osteoarthritis: a rater-blinded randomized controlled clinical trial
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of motivational interviewing (MI) and mindfulness (MF) added to neuromuscular (NM) exercises on improving pain, function, balance, and quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA).MethodsThis randomized clinical trial was conducted on sixty patients who were randomly assigned to the MI + NM, MF + NM, and NM groups. The groups… Continue reading The effect of mindfulness and motivational interviewing along with neuromuscular exercises on pain, function, and balance of women affected by knee osteoarthritis: a rater-blinded randomized controlled clinical trial
