Damaging, negative news rivals positive friends lovers especially prized passed on. Aside from partners, males females were more interested in information others than opposite‐sex others....
There is growing evidence that specialized clinical services targeted toward individuals early in the course of a psychotic illness may be effective reducing both and economic burden associated with these illnesses. Unfortunately, United States has lagged behind other countries delivery specialized, multi-component care to illness. A key factor contributing this lag limited available data demonstrating benefits cost-effectiveness intervention for psychosis among served by American mental...
The vast personal and economic burden of mood disorders is largely caused by their under- misdiagnosis, which associated with ineffective treatment worsening outcomes. Here, we aimed to develop a diagnostic algorithm, based on an online questionnaire blood biomarker data, reduce the misdiagnosis bipolar disorder (BD) as major depressive (MDD). Individuals symptoms (Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score ≥5) aged 18-45 years were recruited online. After completing purpose-built mental health...
Bipolar disorder (BD) is frequently misdiagnosed as major depressive (MDD) because of overlapping symptoms and the lack objective diagnostic tools.
Meta-cognitive skills training (MST) is a frequent component of cognitive remediation programmes for individuals with psychosis. However, no study has investigated whether incorporating such activities produces increased clinical benefits compared computerized alone. Individuals first-episode psychosis who completed concurrent meta-cognitive (CCR + MST) were historical control group received alone (CCR) and did not differ from the CCR MST regard to pre-intervention cognition, diagnosis, age,...
The authors assessed the degree to which schizotypal characteristics in a nonclinical population were associated with impairments ability correctly identify emotions as expressed facial, paralinguistic, and postural cues. Participants completed Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire (SPQ; A. Raine, 2005), 3 receptive subtests of Diagnostic Analysis Nonverbal Accuracy-2 (DANVA2; S. Nowicki Jr., 2005). SPQ subscales No close friends Suspiciousness correlated impaired affective cues on DANVA2....
Background Mood disorders affect hundreds of millions people worldwide, imposing a substantial medical and economic burden. Existing diagnostic methods for mood often result in delay until accurate diagnosis, exacerbating the challenges these disorders. Advances digital tools psychiatry understanding biological basis offer potential novel that facilitate early diagnosis patients. Objective The Delta Trial was launched to develop an algorithm-based aid combining symptom data proteomic...
With less than half of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) correctly diagnosed within the primary care setting, there is a clinical need to develop an objective and readily accessible test enable earlier more accurate diagnosis. The aim this study was diagnostic prediction models identify MDD among individuals presenting subclinical low mood, based on data from dried blood spot (DBS) proteomics (194 peptides representing 115 proteins) novel digital mental health assessment (102...
Background Social functioning deficits greatly affect individuals with psychotic disorders resulting in decreased ability to maintain relationships, jobs and pursuit of educational goals. Deficits social cognition have been hypothesized be an important contributor these functioning. In particular, 5 domains suggested relevant the study disorders: (1) attributional style, (2) emotion recognition, (3) knowledge, (4) perception (5) theory mind. Yet, date, no has simultaneously investigated...
AbstractIntroduction. The auditory hallucinations associated with schizophrenia are phenomenologically diverse. "External" classically have been considered to reflect more severe psychopathology than "internal" hallucinations, but empirical support has equivocal.Methods. We examined associations of versus "external" (1) other characteristics the (2) severity symptoms and (3) course illness variables, in a sample 97 stable outpatients or schizoaffective disorder who experienced...
Cognitive remediation (CR) has shown significant promise in addressing the cognitive deficits that accompany serious mental illness. However, this intervention does not appear to completely ameliorate these illnesses. D-cycloserine (DCS), an NMDA receptor partial agonist, been enhance therapeutic benefits of learning-based psychosocial interventions for psychiatric disorders. Thus, goal study is examine utility combining and d-cycloserine treatment among individuals with bipolar disorder.
Web-based assessments of mental health concerns hold great potential for earlier, more cost-effective, and accurate diagnoses psychiatric conditions than that achieved with traditional interview-based methods.
Abstract Objectives The Delta Study was undertaken to improve the diagnosis of mood disorders in individuals presenting with low mood. current study aimed estimate prevalence and explore characteristics participants Study, discuss their implications for clinical practice. Methods Individuals (Patients Health Questionnaire‐9 score ≥5) either no previous disorder (baseline group, n = 429), a recent (≤5 years) MDD 441) or BD (established 54), were recruited online. Self‐reported demographic...
Diagnosing major depressive disorder (MDD) is challenging, with diagnostic manuals failing to capture the wide range of clinical symptoms that are endorsed by individuals this condition.This study aims provide evidence for an extended definition MDD symptomatology.Symptom data were collected via a digital assessment developed delta study. Random forest classification nested cross-validation was used distinguish between and those subthreshold symptomatology using disorder-specific...
Growing evidence suggests that specialized, multi‐component treatment programmes produce improvements in numerous outcomes among individuals with first‐episode psychosis. However, these often lack interventions specifically designed to address deficits social cognition. This raises questions about the effectiveness of such addressing cognition accompany psychotic disorders. We investigated effect participation a programme on 71 Participants experienced gains emotion processing, knowledge,...
Abstract Background Although effective treatments are available to address the cognitive deficits experienced by individuals with first-episode psychosis, provision of such within Coordinated Specialty Care (CSC) programs is rare. One factor that may contribute this uncertainty about cost implications providing cognitive-enhancing American mental healthcare system. The aim study complete a naturalistic evaluation utility incorporating two different interventions an CSC program. Methods...
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are often the first-line treatment option for depressive symptoms, however their efficacy varies across patients. Identifying predictors of response to SSRIs could facilitate personalised depression and improve outcomes. The aim this study was develop a data-driven formulation demographic, personality, symptom-level factors associated with subjective SSRI treatment.Participants were recruited online data collected retrospectively through an...
Abnormalities in basic sensory perception are frequently found individuals with schizophrenia. However, the literature on clinical high-risk and firstepisode psychosis populations has been less extensive. This article summarizes research first-episode for auditory, visual, olfactory, bodycentered senses. It then highlights uncertainty of whether abnormalities psychotic symptoms concurrent results disruption normal brain development, or abnormal experiences play a causal role development...
