Transitioning to bipolar disorder

Bipolar disorder is a highly heritable condition, which can progress from an asymptomatic period in at-risk individuals to a potentially debilitating illness. Identifying individuals who are at a high risk of developing bipolar disorder may provide an opportunity for early intervention to improve outcomes. The main objective of this systematic review is to provide an overview of prospective

Cognitive dysfunction in major depressive disorder

The principal aim of this review is to highlight recent advances in our understanding of cognitive dysfunction in major depressive disorder (MDD). We review new assessment and treatment approaches, in which cognition and associated psychosocial dysfunction are considered primary outcomes. Current work suggests that cognitive dysfunction reduces occupational productivity, and interferes broadly with domains of day-to-day and social

Schizophrenia during the COVID-19 pandemic

The coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic is having a critical impact on healthcare systems across the world, as well as on mental health in the general population; however, evidence regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on people living with schizophrenia and on the onset of psychotic symptoms is currently emerging. People living with schizophrenia are at an

Bipolar disorders, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and the brain

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) negatively affects brain structure and function. Meta-analytical data show that relative to age and sex matched non-psychiatric controls, patients with bipolar disorders have double the risk of T2DM. We review the evidence for association between T2DM and adverse clinical and brain imaging changes in bipolar disorders and summarize studies investigating

Depressive symptoms and disorders in type 2 diabetes mellitus

Recent studies reviewed indicate an increasing trend of both major and minor depression in patients with diabetes. Depression is also reported to be persistent and chronic in diabetes patients. There is a bidirectional link between depression and diabetes. Diabetes-related distress independently increases the diabetes-related complications. Collaborative care is both applicable and helpful in managing depression in diabetes.  Leer texto

Advances in the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder

Due to bipolar disorder clinical heterogeneity, a plethora of studies have provided new genetic, epigenetic, molecular, and cellular findings associated with its pathophysiology. Genome-wide association studies and epigenetic evidence points to genotype–phenotype interactions associated with inflammation, oxidative stress, abnormalities in signaling pathways, hypothalamic– pituitary–adrenal axis, and circadian rhythm linked to mitochondrial dysfunction in bipolar disorder. Although

Antipsychotic treatment in elderly patients on polypharmacy with schizophrenia

Elderly patients with SCH on polypharmacy are less frequently studied, although they represent many patients with SCH. Different potentially inappropriate medication lists and collaboration with clinical pharmacists represent effective strategies for medication optimization. More studies are needed on this topic (e.g., prospective nonrandomized studies). Read full text

Integrated treatment for patients with comorbid depression and personality disorders

We advocate considering depression and personality as being more closely related and argue in favour of the development of integrated treatment options tailored to understanding symptoms as being interwoven with a variety of long-standing disturbing personality patterns. Both clinically and conceptually, psychodynamic and schema-focused approaches provide good opportunities to adjust available therapies and they could

Inflammation and depression but where does the inflammation come from?

The advent of innovative theories about the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders has ushered in a new era on the basis of the role of the immune system and inflammation in mediating depression in its multifaceted manifestations. Extensive studies have confirmed the proinflammatory status in depression and causal relationships with neurotransmitter dysregulation. Equally importantly the role

Neurofilament light protein as a biomarker in depression and cognitive function

Axonal damage is implicated in the neuropathology of depression and cognitive dysfunction. Consequently, neurofilament light protein is an emerging biomarker with potential in depression and cognitive function. Results are more consistent for cognition, requiring more research to assess neurofilament light protein in depression as well as other psychiatric disorders. Future longitudinal studies are necessary to

Promoting physical activity for mental health: an updated evidence review and practical guide

Translation of evidence regarding physical activity for mental health into routine programmes is critical. Efforts to move beyond solely targeting individual-level barriers to physical activity and address systemic barriers include lack of access to appropriate exercise services. This requires consideration of training needs, service structure and culture change. Read full text

Reward processing dysfunction in major depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia

New evidence of reward processing abnormalities in MDD, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia has led to a greater understanding of the neural processes associated with symptomatology common across these conditions (e.g., anhedonia). Dissecting various subcomponents of reward processing that map onto partially different neurobiological pathways and investigating their dysregulation in different psychiatric disorders holds promise for

Neaurostimulation as a treatment for mood disorders in patients: recent findings

Brain stimulation is widely used in clinical settings; however, there is a lack of understanding about its neurobiological mechanism. Further studies are needed to understand the neurobiology of brain stimulation and how it can be used to treat mood disorders in their diversity, including comorbidities with other illnesses.

Cardiovascular disease risk in people with severe mental disorders: an update and call for action

The level of CVD comorbidity remains high in SMDs, indicating that most people with SMDs have not benefitted from recent medical advances. A complex interplay between genetic and social vulnerability to CVD, which differs across subgroups of patients, seems to be involved. Further research is required to meet the urgent need for earlier, more efficient

Cancer and schizophrenia

This review indicates that patients with schizophrenia are at increased risk of dying of cancer and of several specific types of cancer. This increased mortality can be reduced if the price of tobacco is increased, if smoking cessation programmes are offered systematically, screening programs better implemented in this highly vulnerable group, and if procedures to

Depression: more treatment but no drop in prevalence: how effective is treatment? And can we do better?

To reduce prevalence, it is essential to narrow the treatment gaps, provide timely interventions and high- quality treatment, eradicate waiting lists, prescribe antidepressants more cautiously and better managed, consider psychological alternatives, and provide more psychosocial treatment in primary care with physician-assistants. In addition, research is needed on long-term outcome of different treatment modalities, and least
