Background Child and adolescent psychopathology has been linked to increased sleep problems, but there less investigation of this relationship in younger samples with early‐onset psychopathology. This study examined three specific commonly observed aspects behaviors young children – (i) Sleep onset latency, (ii) Refusal alone, (iii) Nighttime awakenings measured during preschool, investigated whether these problems predicted anxiety and/or depression across the next 6 years until school age...
Background: Children of depressed mothers are themselves at elevated risk for developing a depressive disorder. We have little understanding, however, the specific factors that contribute to this increased risk. This study investigated whether never‐disordered daughters whose experienced recurrent episodes depression during their daughters’ lifetime differ from in processing facial expressions emotion. Method: Following negative mood induction, completed an emotion identification task which...
The understanding of the neural correlates borderline personality disorder (BPD) is limited, but suggests alterations in limbic structures play a role adult BPD. developmental course structural differences BPD unknown. Whether there specificity for compared with other psychiatric presentations, such as major depressive (MDD), remains unexplored. current study examined childhood trajectories two regions implicated BPD, hippocampal and amygdala volume, they relate to adolescent symptoms MDD...
Maladaptive emotion regulation and dysregulated hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis functioning are characteristic of depression anxiety. However, little research examines whether how affects HPA functioning. We utilized an experience sampling methodology to examine associations between three strategies (problem solving, disengagement, emotional expression/support seeking) diurnal cortisol rhythms reactivity in everyday life. Participants were young adults with current, past, or no...
Significance Experiencing poverty early in life is associated with continued risk for mental and physical health problems childhood adulthood. As such, it important to understand the mechanisms by which contributes lasting poor developmental outcomes. Here we use longitudinal prospectively acquired data starting preschool demonstrate that disruptions testosterone trajectories hippocampal volume growth across school age adolescent development, as well greater emotion dysregulation depression...
Elevated trait rumination is associated with and predicts onset of major depressive disorder, but not all people elevated develop disorder. We hypothesize that certain emotional processes weaken the rumination-depression link, protecting against increases in depression. In this prospective longitudinal study, we examined one such process, emotion differentiation-the ability to discern specific emotions. Because higher negative differentiation (NED) facilitates down-regulating emotions...
Radically open dialectical behavior therapy (RO DBT) is an empirically supported psychotherapy for treatment-refractory depression (TRD) that targets psychological inflexibility and interpersonal functioning within the context of maladaptive overcontrol. However, it unknown whether change in these mechanistic processes associated with decreased symptoms. This study tested depressive symptoms RO DBT.Adults TRD from The Refractory Depression: Mechanisms Efficacy DBT (RefraMED) randomized...
Abstract The psychophysiological underpinnings of preschool‐onset depression (PO‐MDD) remain underexplored. Moreover, there is currently a limited understanding the potential impact that PO‐MDD might have on neurobiological functions later in development such as general cognitive domains and reward processing. Thus, current study sought to examine neurophysiological differences, measured via electroencephalography (EEG), adolescents with without history PO‐MDD. Participants their caregivers...
