Residential greenness is considered a unique and potentially modifiable exposure construct to reduce physiological stress and improve human health. Here this study aims to investigate the longitudinal relationships of residential greenness with incident depression and anxiety and to explore and compare the pathways in which greenery may influence mental health. After excluding participants with depression… Continue reading Long-term exposure to residential #greenness and decreased risk of #depression and #anxiety

Most #GLP-1 Medications Correlated with a Lower Likelihood of #Anxiety and #Depression Diagnoses
Key FindingsDiabetic patients prescribed tirzepatide, semaglutide, dulaglutide, and exenatide are less likely to be diagnosed with depression after starting the medication compared to those not on a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1) medication. The likelihood of anxiety in diabetic patients is lower for those on all five GLP-1 medications studied. Among non-diabetic patients, semaglutide is correlated with… Continue reading Most #GLP-1 Medications Correlated with a Lower Likelihood of #Anxiety and #Depression Diagnoses

Highlights•141 patients with depression and/or anxiety disorder participated in this study.•Running therapy and antidepressant medication had similar effects on mental health (remission and response rates).•Running therapy outperformed antidepressant medication on physical health variables.•Running therapy is a valuable treatment strategy in mental health care. BackgroundAntidepressant medication and running therapy are both effective treatments for patients with depressive and anxiety… Continue reading #Antidepressants or #running therapy: Comparing effects on mental and physical health in patients with #depression and #anxiety 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
High fried food consumption impacts anxiety and depression due to lipid metabolism disturbance and neuroinflammation
To address a crucial knowledge deficiency concerning the correlation between fried food consumption and the risk of anxiety and depression, here we revealed that frequent fried food consumption is strongly associated with a higher risk of anxiety and depression. Notably, acrylamide is a representative contaminant in fried foods, thereby further elucidating its toxicological mode of… Continue reading High fried food consumption impacts anxiety and depression due to lipid metabolism disturbance and neuroinflammation

Investigating genetic causal relationships between blood pressure and anxiety, depressive symptoms, neuroticism and subjective well-being
Background High blood pressure is a leading cardiovascular disease risk factor and considered to be associated with psychological factors. However, the causal relationships between blood pressure and anxiety, depressive symptoms, neuroticism and subjective well-being are not clear.Aims The current study explored the genetic causal relationships between blood pressure and anxiety, depressive symptoms, neuroticism and subjective well-being.Methods Mendelian randomisation… Continue reading Investigating genetic causal relationships between blood pressure and anxiety, depressive symptoms, neuroticism and subjective well-being
High-dose Vitamin B6 supplementation reduces anxiety and strengthens visual surround suppression
ObjectiveVitamins B6 and B12 are involved in metabolic processes that decrease neural excitation and increase inhibition. This double-blind study investigated the effects of supplementation for 1 month with a high-dose of B6 or B12, compared to placebo, on a range of behavioural outcome measures connected to the balance between neural inhibition and excitation.Methods478 young adults… Continue reading High-dose Vitamin B6 supplementation reduces anxiety and strengthens visual surround suppression
