Abstract Ketamine is an effective intervention for treatment-resistant depression (TRD), including late-in-life (LL-TRD). The proposed mechanism of antidepressant effects ketamine a glutamatergic surge, which can be measured by electroencephalogram (EEG) gamma oscillations. Yet, non-linear EEG biomarkers such as neural complexity are needed to capture broader systemic effects, represent the level organization synaptic communication, and elucidate mechanisms action treatment responders. In...
Abstract The present investigation examined associations of childhood maltreatment, anxiety sensitivity (AS), and sleep disturbance among a diverse sample adults in psychiatric inpatient treatment. We hypothesized that maltreatment would be indirectly associated with greater through elevated AS. Exploratory analyses the indirect effect models three AS subscales ( i.e. , physical, cognitive, social concerns) as parallel mediators. A acute-care treatment N = 88; 62.5% male; M age 33.32 years,...
<title>Abstract</title> Imminent suicide is difficult to predict. Suicide usually occurs on the first attempt. may consist of suicidal crises, with fluctuating and unpredictable risk, superimposed long-term latent susceptibility. Risk characteristics are consistent interacting (sensitization) short-term (impulsivity) mechanisms: sensitization stress/trauma perceived as inescapable, or addiction, can increase action-impulsivity, disinhibiting high-risk behavior including ideation aggression....
