The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) is commonly used to screen for depressive disorder and monitoring symptoms. However, there are mixed findings regarding its factor structure (i.e., whether it has a unidimensional, two-dimensional, or bi-factor structure). Furthermore, measurement invariance between non-clinical clinical populations that patients with major (MDD) MDD comorbid anxiety (AD) unknown.

After the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, numerous evacuees reported poor mental health status and high-risk perceptions of effects radiation. However, temporal associations between these variables have not yet been examined. Using data from Health Survey, we examined changes in risk perception radiation over time assessed on such using logistic regression analysis. Risk for delayed effect pertains a brief later life (delayed effect), whereas that genetic future children...
Despite its clinical importance, adolescent subthreshold depression remains a largely neglected topic. The aims of this study were to accurately identify the natural course depressive symptoms and risk for developing major episode (MDE) in late adolescents with over 1 year.
Psychological distress has become a serious health risk after the Fukushima nuclear accident. Although, following lifting of evacuation orders, affected people have started returning home, their current status psychological not been reported yet. Here, we report levels in both returnees and evacuees by using K6 indicator.

However, previous studies have reported that CBT ASD might be less than alone. In addition, there no evidence as why autistic traits risk factors. Therefore, we investigated whether comorbidity between may significantly affect outcome, discovered predictors of outcomes using structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data....
Following the Fukushima incident, radiation doses from external exposure accounted for majority of total doses. Although countermeasures are being implemented, with aim reducing exposure, little information is available on effects decontamination individual among residents radioactively contaminated areas. To evaluate effectiveness measures in doses, and to examine influence timing district, data were analysed 18 392 adults 3 650 children Minamisoma City, Fukushima, who participated a...
After the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station accident in 2011, concerns about radiation exposure and decline subjective well-being have been reported. To tackle these problems, various countermeasures relation to implemented. In this study, we comprehensively evaluated effects of radiological on (e.g., satisfaction with life (SWL) emotional well-being) anxiety, through a questionnaire survey targeting residents (N = 1023). Propensity scores matching was applied evaluate significant...

Five types were measured: positive emotion, negative-free life satisfaction general happiness,...
One of biggest public health impacts the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station accident is psychosocial. Anxiety about radiation still present, and risk perception, particularly with regard to genetic effects, known affect mental health.
