A key challenge in predicting a person’s state of mind is that a wide range of contributing factors each has a subtle, yet meaningful, influence on mental health. Here we applied data mining techniques to identify the most important risk factors for predicting current symptoms and longitudinal outcomes from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Developmental study… Continue reading Mapping multimodal risk factors to #mental health outcomes

#Macroeconomic #income inequality, #brain structure and function, and #mental health
Income inequality, a structural property of societies characterized by the unequal distribution of resources, is associated with adverse mental health outcomes during adolescence, which is a sensitive period of neurodevelopment. While previous research has explored the impact of individual-level socioeconomic factors on brain structure and function, the neurobiological mechanisms linking structural inequality to mental health… Continue reading #Macroeconomic #income inequality, #brain structure and function, and #mental health
#Social media use in adolescents with and without #mental health conditions
Concerns about the relationship between social media use and adolescent mental health are growing, yet few studies focus on adolescents with clinical-level mental health symptoms. This limits our understanding of how social media use varies across mental health profiles. In this Registered Report, we analyse nationally representative UK data (N = 3,340, aged 11–19 years) including diagnostic assessments… Continue reading #Social media use in adolescents with and without #mental health conditions
#Sex and mental #health are related to subcortical #brain microstructure
SignificanceWe demonstrate the presence of large sex-related differences in the microstructure of subcortical gray matter using advanced noninvasive diffusion MRI in a large cohort of young adults. These sex differences are found in several key brain structures that are important for mental health and are consistent with experimental studies in animals showing cellular differences in… Continue reading #Sex and mental #health are related to subcortical #brain microstructure
Impact of #Mental Health Treatment on Outcomes in Patients With #Heart Failure and Ischemic Heart Disease
BackgroundThere is conflicting evidence as to the impact of mental health treatment on outcomes in patients with heart disease. The aim of this study was to examine whether individuals who received mental health treatment for anxiety or depression after being hospitalized for ischemic disorders or heart failure had a reduced frequency of rehospitalizations, emergency department… Continue reading Impact of #Mental Health Treatment on Outcomes in Patients With #Heart Failure and Ischemic Heart Disease
#ATOPIC DERMATITIS PATIENT EXPERIENCE WITH DISCUSSING AND ADDRESSING MENTAL HEALTH CONCERNS WITH ALLERGISTS
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common form of eczema and has a significant, multidimensional burden of disease. Patients with AD have an increased likelihood of developing depression and anxiety, which is exacerbated when additional atopic comorbidities are present. Little is known about the patient experience with discussing or addressing mental health concerns with their… Continue reading #ATOPIC DERMATITIS PATIENT EXPERIENCE WITH DISCUSSING AND ADDRESSING MENTAL HEALTH CONCERNS WITH ALLERGISTS
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
The hidden link between circadian entropy and mental health disorders
The high overlapping nature of various features across multiple mental health disorders suggests the existence of common psychopathology factor(s) (p-factors) that mediate similar phenotypic presentations across distinct but relatable disorders. In this perspective, we argue that circadian rhythm disruption (CRD) is a common underlying p-factor that bridges across mental health disorders within their age and… Continue reading The hidden link between circadian entropy and mental health disorders
School Closures During Social Lockdown and Mental Health, Health Behaviors, and Well-being Among Children and Adolescents During the First COVID-19 WaveA Systematic Review
Importance School closures as part of broader social lockdown measures during the COVID-19 pandemic may be associated with the health and well-being of children and adolescents. Objective To review published reports on the association of school closures during broader social lockdown with mental health, health behaviors, and well-being in children and adolescents aged 0 to… Continue reading School Closures During Social Lockdown and Mental Health, Health Behaviors, and Well-being Among Children and Adolescents During the First COVID-19 WaveA Systematic Review
