The social zeitgeber model (Ehlers, Frank, & Kupfer, 1988) suggests that irregular daily schedules or rhythms provide vulnerability to bipolar spectrum disorders. This study tested whether rhythm regularity prospectively predicted first lifetime onset of disorders in adolescents already at risk for disorder based on exhibiting reward hypersensitivity. Adolescents (ages 14-19 years) previously screened have high (n = 138) moderate 95) sensitivity, but no history disorder, completed measures...
Substance use and addiction are prominent global health concerns associated with abnormalities in reward sensitivity. Reward sensitivity approach motivation supported by a fronto-striatal neural circuit including the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), ventral striatum (VS), dorsal (DS). Although research highlights circuitry among individuals problematic substance use, questions remain about whether such arises from excessively high, or low, This study examined reward-related brain function...
The subjective experience in 43 Chinese adults with chronic primary insomnia was assessed using focus groups and diaries. Participants recruited from the community a sleep clinic were diagnosed DSM-IV-TR disorder had difficulties on 3 or more nights per week for at least 6 months. Six groups, of 6-8 participants each, conducted; it stopped as thematic saturation emerged last 2 groups. Using grounded theory approach, we identified 4 themes 16 subthemes, covering beliefs about nature treatment...
Sleep-wake and circadian rhythm disturbances are common in remitted bipolar disorder. These include difficulty initiating maintaining sleep, daytime sleepiness, sleep irregularity, a tendency toward eveningness. To date, few studies have examined the impact of eveningness on impairments Ninety-eight adults diagnosed with disorder I, II, or not otherwise specified were evaluated. Hierarchical linear regression analyses showed that was associated greater sleep-wake disturbances, more unhealthy...
Although personality disorders (PDs) are highly comorbid with bipolar spectrum (BSDs), little longitudinal research has been conducted to examine the prospective impact of PD symptoms on course BSDs. The aim this study is whether symptom severity predicts shorter time onset mood episodes and conversion I disorder over among individuals less severe Participants (n = 166) II disorder, cyclothymia, or not otherwise specified completed diagnostic interview assessments self-report measures at...
