Examining the unique impacts of Potentially Traumatic Experiences (PTE) and discrimination events on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and suicidal thoughts and behaviors among Multiracial/ethnic adults in the United States

Jaimie Shaff, Victoria M. O'Keefe, Annabelle L. Atkin, Xinzi Wang, Holly C. Wilcox

Summary: The study highlights the interconnectedness of PTEs and discrimination on mental health outcomes for Multiracial/ethnic adults. Discrimination might pose similar risks to PTEs. Acknowledging discrimination as potential precursors for PTSD and STB aids accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.

Clinical predictive factors and trajectories of suicidal remission over 6 weeks following intravenous ketamine for suicidal ideation

Fabrice Jollant, Christophe Demattei, Pascale Fabbro, Mocrane Abbar

Summary: Ketamine is effective in reducing suicidal thoughts in the short term for suicidal patients. Clinical factors poorly predict remission, and fluctuations in suicidal ideas necessitate vigilance and multimodal care. Remission after the first infusion is highly predictive of future remission.

Summary: This study assessed the measurement invariance and differential item functioning of the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 measures in working age and older adults. The findings support the use of these measures for evaluating clinically significant symptom thresholds and monitoring treatment outcomes in these age groups.

Early life interpersonal stress and depression: Social reward processing as a potential mediator

Esther E. Palacios-Barrios, Kunal Patel, Jamie L. Hanson

Summary: This review examines the association between early life interpersonal stress (ELIS) and depression, as well as the underlying mechanisms. The research shows that ELIS affects how youth respond to social rewards, and similar impairments in social reward processing are observed in youth with depression. The authors propose a preliminary model that suggests neurobehavioral disruptions in social reward processing as a mediating factor in the connection between ELIS and depression.

Gamma oscillations in the mPFC: A potential predictive biomarker of depression and antidepressant effects

Yong-Yu Yin, Jiao-Zhao Yan, Shi-Xin Lai, Qian-Qian Wei, Si-Rui Sun, Li-Ming Zhang, Yun-Feng Li

Summary: This study found that gamma oscillations are closely associated with depression and may serve as predictive biomarkers of depression. Chronic restraint stress and lipopolysaccharide induced significant depression-like behaviors in mice and reduced gamma oscillations in the medial prefrontal cortex. Administration of ketamine, scopolamine, or fluoxetine increased gamma oscillations and exhibited rapid-acting antidepressant effects.

Associations of maternal prenatal psychological symptoms and saliva cortisol with neonatal meconium microbiota: A cross-sectional study

Nadia Deflorin, Ulrike Ehlert, Rita T. Amiel Castro

Summary: Changes in the gut microbiome of infants have been associated with maternal psychological symptoms during pregnancy. This study found that maternal prenatal depressive symptoms are associated with lower diversity of the infant's microbiome, while maternal saliva cortisol levels are linked to increased diversity and changes in specific bacterial groups. Further research is needed to understand the implications of these microbiota alterations for child health.

Association between suicidal behavior and impaired glucose metabolism in first-episode drug-naive patients with schizophrenia

Zheng Ma, Hui-Xia Zhou, Da-Chun Chen, Dong-Mei Wang, Xiang-Yang Zhang

Summary: The impaired glucose metabolism in drug-na & iuml;ve schizophrenia patients is strongly associated with suicidal behavior, suggesting that glucose metabolism abnormalities may be potential biomarkers of suicide in schizophrenia patients. Regular monitoring of glucose metabolism variables is essential for suicide prevention.

Transcriptomic analyses of rats exposed to chronic mild stress: Modulation by chronic treatment with the antipsychotic drug lurasidone

Veronica Begni, Moira Marizzoni, Kerstin Camile Creutzberg, Diana Morena Silipo, Mariusz Papp, Annamaria Cattaneo, Marco Andrea Riva

Summary: Exposure to stressful experiences is a significant risk factor for mental disorders, and pharmacological interventions targeting stress-induced alterations can help restore brain function. Lurasidone, an antipsychotic drug, has been shown to normalize the impairments caused by stress exposure and could be a valuable treatment for stress-induced mental illnesses. However, the mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of lurasidone are not well understood. This study found that chronic lurasidone treatment counteracted some of the transcriptional changes induced by chronic mild stress exposure, providing new insights into the potential therapeutic effects of lurasidone.

Beliefs about depression relate to active and avoidant coping in high-symptom adolescents

Juno B. Pinder, Isaac L. Ahuvia, Sharon Chen, Jessica L. Schleider

Summary: Adolescents who hold pessimistic beliefs about the prognosis of depression are more likely to engage in avoidance behaviors and less likely to engage in activation behaviors. These findings provide insights into the relationship between beliefs about malleability and mental health outcomes in adolescents, and suggest that addressing prognostic pessimism could be a potential treatment target for reducing depressive behaviors.
