Abstract
INTRODUCTION The negative impact of medical training on trainee mental health continues to be a concern. Situated within a sociocultural milieu, Generation Z and Generation Y, defined by their highly involved parents and the widespread use of technology, currently dominate undergraduate and graduate medical education respectively. It is necessary to explore medical trainees' generational characteristics and job-related factors related to stress, burnout, depression, and resilience. This might provide different perspectives and potential solutions to medical trainees' mental health. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted among medical trainees (students and residents) from two institutions in Qatar. A self-administered online survey included measures for trainees' social media overuse, their parent's parenting style, the educational support by the clinical teacher, job (demands, control, and support), and work-life balance and their relation with their stress, burnout, depression, and resilience. Relationships were tested with multiple linear regression analyses. RESULTS Of the 326 medical trainees who responded, 142 (44%) trainees - 93 students and 49 residents - completed all items and were included in the analysis. Social media overuse and inability to maintain a work-life balance were associated with higher levels of stress, depression, and student burnout. Higher levels of job support were associated with lower levels of stress, depression, and resident burnout, and a higher level of resilience. Job control was associated with lower burnout levels. Parenting style was unrelated to trainees' mental health. DISCUSSION The two generations 'Y' and 'Z' dominating current medical training showed more stress-related complaints when there is evidence of social media overuse and failure to maintain a work-life balance, while job support counterbalances this, whereas parenting style showed no effect. Measures to enhance medical trainees' mental health may include education about the wise use of social media, encouraging spending more quality social time, and enhancing job support and job control.

Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused several impacts. Focusing on 360 participants (178 males, 182 females), this study explored the association between COVID-19 related distress, risk perception, stigma, and vaccine hesitancy and acceptance in the general population. Measures used included the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and COVID Stress Scale (CSS) to evaluate anxiety, depression, and COVID-19 related distress, the COVID-19 Risk Perception Scale and COVID-19 Stigma Discrimination Scale to assess risk perception and stigma, and the Oxford COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy Scale and Vaccine Acceptance Instrument to measure vaccine hesitancy and acceptance. The findings revealed that 66.9% of participants exhibited vaccine hesitancy, and stress and risk perception were significant predictors of both vaccine hesitancy and acceptance, even after controlling for demographic factors. This study highlights the importance of understanding the factors mentioned above that will contribute to vaccine hesitancy and acceptance, which will contribute to promoting vaccine acceptance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, threatening both physical and mental health. The epidemiological evidence for association between sleep duration, depression and breast cancer is inconsistent. The aim of this study was to determine the association between them and build machine-learning algorithms to predict breast cancer. METHODS A total of 1,789 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were included in the study, and 263 breast cancer patients were identified. Sleep duration was collected using a standardized questionnaire, and the Nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) was used to assess depression. Logistic regression yielded multivariable-adjusted breast cancer odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for sleep duration and depression. Then, six machine learning algorithms, including AdaBoost, random forest, Boost tree, artificial neural network, limit gradient enhancement and support vector machine, were used to predict the development of breast cancer and find out the best algorithm. RESULTS Body mass index (BMI), race and smoking were statistically different between breast cancer and non-breast cancer groups. Participants with depression were associated with breast cancer (OR = 1.99, 95%CI: 1.55-3.51). Compared with 7-9h of sleep, the ORs for <7 and >9 h of sleep were 1.25 (95% CI: 0.85-1.37) and 1.05 (95% CI: 0.95-1.15), respectively. The AdaBoost model outperformed other machine learning algorithms and predicted well for breast cancer, with an area under curve (AUC) of 0.84 (95%CI: 0.81-0.87). CONCLUSIONS No significant association was observed between sleep duration and breast cancer, and participants with depression were associated with an increased risk for breast cancer. This finding provides new clues into the relationship between breast cancer and depression and sleep duration, and provides potential evidence for subsequent studies of pathological mechanisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has affected the training and wellbeing of obstetrics and gynaecology (O&G) trainees. The aim of this review is to offer a worldwide overview on its' impact on the mental health of O&G trainees, so that measures can be put into place to better support trainees during the transition back to the 'new normal'. METHODS Key search terms used on PubMed and Google Scholar databases include: mental health, COVID-19, O&G, trainees, residents. RESULTS Fifteen articles (cumulative number of respondents = 3230) were identified, of which eight employed validated questionnaires (n = 1807 respondents), while non-validated questionnaires were used in seven (n = 1423 respondents). Studies showed that COVID-19 appeared to exert more of a negative impact on females and on senior trainees' mental health, while protective factors included marriage/partner and having had children. Validated and non-validated questionnaires suggested that trainees were exposed to high levels of anxiety and depression. Their mental health was also affected by insomnia, stress, burnout and fear of passing on the virus. DISCUSSION This review analyses the global impact of COVID-19 on O&G trainees' mental health, showing a pervasive negative effect linked to fear of the virus. Limited psychological support has led to prolonged issues, hindering patient safety and increasing sick leave. The study underscores the urgency of comprehensive support, particularly in female-dominated fields. Addressing these challenges is crucial for future pandemics, highlighting the need to learn from past mistakes and prioritise mental health resources for trainee well-being during and beyond pandemics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anxiety and depression are common comorbidities in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) that impair health-related quality of life. However, there is a lack of studies focusing on the mental disorder of IPF after antifibrotic treatment and their related predictive factors. METHODS Patients with an initial diagnosis of IPF were enrolled. Data on demographics, lung function, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9), Patient Health Questionnaire-15 (PHQ-15), and St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire total score(SGRQ-T) were collected. Changes in anxiety, depression, somatic symptoms, and quality of life scores before and after nintedanib treatment were compared, and the related predictive factors were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 56 patients with a first diagnosis of IPF were enrolled, with 42 and 35 patients suffering from anxiety and depression, respectively. The GAD-7, PHQ-9, PHQ-15, and SGRQ scores were higher in the anxiety and depression groups. SGRQ total score (SGRQ-T) [OR = 1.075, 95%CI= (1.011, 1.142)] was an independent predictor of IPF combined with anxiety (p < 0.05); SGRQ-T [OR = 1.080, 95%CI= (1.001, 1.167)] was also an independent predictor of IPF combined with depression (p < 0.05). After treatment, GAD-7, PHQ-9, PHQ-15, and SGRQ scores decreased (p < 0.05). ΔSGRQ-T significantly affected ΔGAD-7 (β = 0.376, p = 0.009) and ΔPHQ-9 (β = 0.329, p = 0.022). CONCLUSION Anxiety and depression in IPF patients are closely related to somatic symptoms, pulmonary function, and quality of life. The SGRQ-T score is of great value for assessing anxiety and depression in patients with IPF. Short-term treatment with nintedanib antifibrotic therapy can alleviate anxiety and depression in IPF patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim was to assess the causal relationship between depression and anxiety disorders and endometrial cancer. METHOD We performed two-sample Mendelian randomisation analysis using summary statistics from genome-wide association studies to assess associations of major depressive disorder, anxiety and stress-related disorders with endometrial cancer. The genome-wide association studies(GWASs) data were derived from participants of predominantly European ancestry included in the Genome-wide Association Research Collaboration. Inverse variance-weighted, MR-Egger and weighted median MR analyses were performed, together with a range of sensitivity analyses. RESULTS Mendelian randomisation analysis showed no statistically significant genetic responsibility effect of anxiety and stress-related disorders on any pathological type of endometrial cancer. Only the effect of major depressive disorder under the inverse variance weighting method increasing the risk of endometrial endometrial cancer (effect 0.004 p = 0.047) and the effect of major depressive disorder under the MR-Egger method decreasing endometrial cancer of all pathology types (effect -0.691 p = 0.015) were statistically significant. Other Mendelian randomisation analyses did not show a statistically significant effect. CONCLUSION Major depressive disorder(MDD), anxiety and stress-related disorders(ASRD) are not genetically responsible for endometrial cancer. We consider that emotional disorders may affect endometrial cancer indirectly by affecting body mass index. This study provides us with new insights to better understand the aetiology of endometrial cancer and inform prevention strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) use is on the rise among athletes and bodybuilders worldwide. In addition to the well-documented adverse effects on hepatic, renal, and reproductive functions, there is an increasing recognition of psychiatric complications associated with AAS use. This study aimed to investigate psychiatric morbidity among male bodybuilders who are AAS users. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 25 male bodybuilders using AAS (mean age 31.2 ± 8.9 years) were compared with a control group of 25 healthy male bodybuilders matched in age (31.3 ± 5.5 years). The demographic, hormonal, and biochemical parameters of the participants were recorded. The impact of AAS use on psychiatric morbidity was assessed using the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) in both groups. RESULTS The BDI and BAI scores were significantly higher in male bodybuilders using anabolic-androgenic steroids (p < 0.0001). While the control group showed no instances of anxiety, seven individuals in the AAS user group reported mild anxiety. No participants in the control group exhibited depression, whereas seven AAS users displayed depressive symptoms (4 mild, 3 moderate). Correlations were observed between lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels and BAI scores, creatinine levels and both BAI and BDI scores, as well as between estradiol levels and BDI. CONCLUSION The study concluded that AAS use among male bodybuilders is associated with elevated levels of depression and anxiety. Our findings suggest a potential correlation between anxiety and depression levels and the levels of creatinine, LDH, and estradiol in AAS users.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to explore ethical challenges potentially arising from a problem-solving intervention with workplace involvement (PSI-WPI) in primary health care (with first-line manager involvement) for employees on sickness absence due to common mental disorders. METHODS A qualitative design guided by the theoretical framework for systematic identification of ethical aspects of healthcare technologies. Semi-structured interviews were performed with coordinators (n = 6), employees (n = 13), and first-line managers (n = 8). Reflexive thematic analysis was used to analyse and interpret themes. RESULTS A main theme was identified "the workplace and healthcare hold different organizational value logics" and four sub-themes: "the PSI-WPI challenged the organizational goals and values of the workplace and healthcare", "the PSI-WPI challenged organizational values on fairness", "the PSI-WPI challenged the professional roles of first-line managers and rehabilitation coordinators" and "the PSI-WPI introduced a need for the employee to juggle the employee and patient roles". CONCLUSION Different organizational value logics, values, and goals can introduce ethical challenges. We advise clarifying stakeholders' roles and preparing employees and managers for the return to work process by providing sufficient information. The ethical challenges and suggested measures to minimize them, should be considered when planning return to work interventions that involve several stakeholders.

Abstract
Most chronic medical illnesses are associated with significant psychiatric comorbidity, especially in the form of depression, anxiety, and suicidality. Chronic liver disease (CLD) is no exception to this and rather is placed uniquely as compared to other diseases because of its intersection with alcohol use disorder and other substance use, which in itself is a mental illness. Patients with CLD may have comorbid psychiatric illnesses; the pharmacokinetic concerns arising out of hepatic dysfunction which affects pharmacotherapy for depression and vice versa. The high prevalence of medical comorbidities with CLD may further complicate the course and outcome of depression in such patients, and diagnostic and management issues arise from special situations like transplant evaluation, alcohol use disorder, and hepatic encephalopathy or multifactorial encephalopathy seen in a disoriented or agitated patient with CLD. For this narrative review, we carried out a literature search in PubMed/PubMed Central and in Google Scholar (1980-2023) with the keywords "depression in cirrhosis", "antidepressants in liver disease", "anxiety in liver disease", "depression in liver transplantation", and "drug interactions with antidepressants". This review presents a comprehensive view of the available research on the use of antidepressants in patients with CLD, including deciding to use them, choosing the right antidepressant, risks, drug interactions, and adverse reactions to expect, and managing the same. In addition, liver transplant fitness and the overlap of hepatic encephalopathy with neuropsychiatric illness will be discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies suggest an association between Post-concussion syndrome (PCS) and depression, both highly prevalent after mTBI. OBJECTIVE To assess the prevalence and risk-factors of depression among patients with PCS 1 month after mTBI. METHODS We prospectively screened 372 mTBI patients admitted in two academic Emergency Departments between 2017 and 2019. One month after mTBI, we administered the Rivermead Post-concussion symptoms Questionnaire (RPQ) and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) questionnaires over the telephone. PCS and depression were defined by RPQ ≥ 12 and PHQ-9 ≥ 10. Multivariate multinomial regression identified baseline factors associated with PCS and depression. RESULTS Two hundred and eight completed RPQ and PHQ-9. Forty-seven patients (22.5%) met criteria for PCS, among which 22 (46.8%) met criteria for depression (PCS+D+). Patients with PCS but without depression were less likely to present with an associated injury (Coefficient = -1.6, p = 0.047) and to report initial sadness (Coefficient = -2.5, p = 0.03). Initial sadness (Coefficient = -1.3, p = 0.047), associated injury (Coefficient = -1.9, p = 0.008), as well as initial nausea (Coefficient = -1.8, p = 0.002), and male sex (Coefficient = 1.8, p = 0.002), were associated with the absence of depression and PCS in comparison with PCS+D+ patients. CONCLUSION Among patients with PCS 1 month after mTBI, those with depression are more likely to present with initial sadness and with an associated injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autonomic dysfunction is prevalent in Parkinson's disease (PD) and can worsen quality of life. We examined: (a) whether specific autonomic symptoms were more strongly associated with anxiety or depression in PD and (b) whether overall autonomic dysfunction predicted mood trajectories over a 5-year period. METHODS Newly diagnosed individuals with PD (N = 414) from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative completed self-report measures of depression, anxiety, and autonomic symptoms annually. Cross-sectional linear regressions examined relationships between specific autonomic subdomains (gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, thermoregulatory, etc.) and mood. Multilevel modeling examined longitudinal relationships with total autonomic load. RESULTS Gastrointestinal symptoms were associated with both higher anxiety (b = 1.04, 95% CI [.55, 1.53], P < .001) and depression (b = .24, 95% CI [.11, .37], P = .012), as were thermoregulatory symptoms (anxiety: b = 1.06, 95% CI [.46, 1.65], P = .004; depression: b = .25, 95% CI [.09, .42], P = .013), while cardiovascular (b = .36, 95% CI [.10, .62], P = .012) and urinary symptoms (b = .10, 95% CI [.01, .20], P = .037) were associated only with depression. Longitudinally, higher total autonomic load was associated with increases in both depression (b = .01, 95% CI [.00, .02], P = .015) and anxiety (b = .04, 95% CI [.01, .06], P < .001) over time, as well as occasion-to-occasion fluctuations (depression: b = .08, 95% CI [.05, .10], P < .001; anxiety: b = .24, 95% CI [.15, .32], P < .001). CONCLUSION Findings suggest autonomic dysfunction, particularly gastrointestinal and thermoregulatory symptoms, may be an indicator for elevated anxiety/depression and a potential treatment target early on in PD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Septorhinoplasty (SRPL) can improve quality of life (QoL) in functional and aesthetical aspects of the nose. A key factor compromising postoperative satisfaction is symptoms of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), defined by excessive concerns and distress over slight or imagined physical defects. Although a high prevalence of BDD in SRPL patients is evident, the effect of positive screening on BDD and other psychiatric disorders is understudied. It was hypothesized that patients screening positive for BDD, depression or anxiety do not show increased postoperative QoL. METHODS A multicenter, prospective study including 259 patients. For psychiatric evaluation, the BDD concern questionnaire-aesthetic version and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were used; for disease-specific QoL the Rhinoplasty Outcomes Evaluation (ROE) and the Functional Rhinoplasty Outcome Inventory (FROI-17). RESULTS In preoperative evaluation, 32.5% had a positive screening for BDD, 42.2% for increased anxiety, and 32.9% for depression. Mean QoL improved in the whole cohort (FROI total score: 54.4 ± 21.8 to 32.8 ± 23.7 and ROE: 32.3 ± 15.6 to 69.8 ± 23.1, both p < 0.001). Patients screening positive for BDD, depression or anxiety did show an increased postoperative QoL, but to a significantly lower degree and with lower pre- and postoperative QoL levels. CONCLUSIONS SRPL patients show a high prevalence of BDD symptoms, elevated anxiety, and depression. These subgroups show lower QoL levels and an impaired QoL increase after surgery. Rhinoplasty surgeons must be aware of the disorders and their symptoms, discuss potential concerns with the patients, and potentially refer them to a specialist.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The main purpose of the present study was to assess the beneficial effect of Lactobacillus plantarum GM11 (LacP GM11), screened from Sichuan traditional fermented food, in depressive rats induced by chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS). METHODS Male SPF SD rats were randomly assigned to 3 groups: the control group, CUMS group and CUMS + LacP GM11 group (n = 10). The rats in the CUMS and LacP GM11 groups received CUMS stimulation for 42 d. The behavioral tests and levels of monoamine neurotransmitter, glucocorticoid hormone and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the serum and hippocampus were measured. The effects of LacP GM11 on the mRNA and protein expression of BDNF and cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) in the hippocampus were also investigated. RESULTS After supplementation for 21 d, LacP GM11 was associated with alleviation of depressive-like behavior, not anxiety-like behavior, in depressive rats. LacP GM11 increased the levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and BDNF and decreased the level of cortisol (CORT) in the serum and hippocampus in depressed rats. In addition, treatment with LacP GM11 also increased the mRNA and protein expression of BDNF and CREB in the hippocampus. CONCLUSIONS This work has revealed that LacP GM11 has potential beneficial effects on depression. This effect might be related to alleviating monoamine neurotransmitter deficiency, HPA axis hyperfunction and CREB-BDNF signaling pathway downregulation. This study demonstrates that LacP GM11 could be a potential therapeutic approach to treat depression and other mental health problems.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Many individuals lost their employment during the COVID-19 pandemic and experienced financial hardship. These experiences may increase risk for co-occurring conditions, including substance use disorders (SUDs) and related symptoms of depression and anxiety. This study aimed to examine the associations between COVID-19-related financial hardship and/or job loss and co-occurring symptoms, across gender and racial groups. Respondents (N = 3493) included individuals entering SUD treatment in the United States in March-October of 2020. Results demonstrated that COVID-19-related financial hardship and unemployment in the household was associated with greater depression and anxiety severity among people in SUD treatment (p's < 0.05). Our findings highlight financial hardship and loss of employment as risk factors for co-occurring depression and anxiety. However, additive effects between marginalized identity status and COVID-19 economic hardship on co-occurring symptoms were not observed.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Social withdrawal syndrome, known as "hikikomori," has been highlighted since the late 1990 s in Japan. Hikikomori is more common in urban areas, and often comorbid with mental disorders, and now spreading throughout the world. In the post-COVID-19 era, not outing is no longer considered pathological in itself as the "new normal," and a novel concept of hikikomori is needed. This review summarizes the concept of hikikomori, and presents the latest methods for identification of hikikomori. RECENT FINDINGS The novel definition can distinguish between pathological and non-pathological hikikomori using the scale of "Hikikomori Diagnostic Evaluation (HiDE)," which has been developed in the hikikomori research lab at Kyushu University. An online survey among non-working adults has revealed that persons who have become pathological hikikomori for less than three months showed a particularly strong tendency toward gaming disorder and depression. SUMMARY Now, physical isolation itself is not pathological, but when dysfunction and distress are present, rapid mental health support should be provided. In the novel urban society, the establishment of a checkup system to assess whether persons who stay home are happy or suffering is important for prevention against mental disorders triggered by social isolation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although life stress and adversity are well-known risk factors for mental health problems and cognitive impairment among older adults, limited research has comprehensively examined the impact of both childhood and adulthood adversity on psychiatric and cognitive impairment symptoms over a prolonged period. To address this issue, we investigated how lifetime adversity exposure is related to symptoms of depression, anxiety, and cognitive impairment in a nationally representative, longitudinal sample of older adults in the United States. METHOD We analyzed data from the Health and Retirement Study (1992-2016). The sample included 3496 individuals (59.9% female), aged ≥64 years old (Mage = 76.0 ± 7.6 years in 2016). We used the individual-level panel data and ordinary least squares regressions to estimate associations between childhood and adulthood adversities, and later-life depression, anxiety, and cognitive impairment. RESULTS Many participants experienced a significant early life (38%) or adulthood (79%) stressor. Moreover, experiencing one childhood adversity (vs. none) was associated with a 17.4% increased risk of adulthood adversity. Finally, as hypothesized, childhood adversity exposure was related to experiencing more depression and anxiety symptoms in later life, whereas adulthood stressor exposure predicted more cognitive impairment as well as more depression and anxiety symptoms. DISCUSSION These findings demonstrate significant associations between lifetime adversity and symptoms of depression, anxiety, and cognitive impairment in older adults. Screening for lifetime stressors may thus help healthcare professionals and policymakers identify individuals who could potentially benefit from interventions designed to reduce stress and enhance resilience.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study sought to characterize changes in depressive symptom severity during the COVID-19 pandemic and the association of these changes with HIV viral nonsuppression among people with HIV (PWH). DESIGN A clinical cohort study. METHODS We included PWH in the Johns Hopkins HIV Clinical Cohort who completed the Patient Health Questionnaire 8 (PHQ-8) prepandemic (1 March 2018 to 28 February 2020) and during the COVID-era (1 September 2020 to 28 February 2022). PWH were classified according to depression severity categories prepandemic and during the COVID-era as: consistently depressed (prepandemic PHQ-8 >4 and no change in severity category); consistently nondepressed (prepandemic PHQ-8 ≤4 and no change in severity category); worsened (changed to a higher severity category) and; improved (change to a lower severity category). The association between changes in depressive symptom severity and viral nonsuppression (HIV RNA >200 copies/ml on the earliest viral load measured 7 days before to 12 months after the COVID-era PHQ-8 survey) was assessed using multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS Of 793 PWH, mean age was 56 (SD 10) years, 60% were male individuals and 88% were Black. After the onset of the pandemic, 60% were consistently nondepressed, 9% were consistently depressed, 15% worsened and 16% improved. PWH who worsened had 2.47 times the odds of viral nonsuppression (95% CI: 1.09-5.55) compared with the nondepressed group. Associations among other groups were not statistically significant. CONCLUSION Worsening depression during the COVID-era was associated with HIV viral nonsuppression. Strategies to monitor and address depression among PWH may contribute to reduced risk of viral nonsuppression.

Abstract
Psychological violence is the most common form of intimate partner violence (IPV). Psychological IPV places women at significant risk for depressive symptoms. Accordingly, this study examined the moderator role of perceived social support and learned resourcefulness (LR) as personal resources in the relationship between psychological IPV and depression. This cross-sectional study was performed via an online survey platform. A total of 168 Turkish women, with a mean age of 33.8, completed a set of measurement tools. Data were assessed using linear regression and two-way and three-way interactions in moderated multiple regression analyses. The results of the study showed that as expected psychological IPV was directly associated with depression (β = .268, p < .001). To explore the moderator roles, two separate two-way interactions were conducted, and results demonstrated that neither social support nor LR separately moderated the relationship between psychological IPV and depression. However, there was a significant three-way interaction: togetherness of perceived social support with LR moderated the relationship between psychological IPV and depression (β = -.388, p < .05). More specifically, if women exposed to psychological IPV have high perceived social support and high LR, they are less likely to report depressive symptoms. This finding highlights the positive effect of the combination of personal resources on depression linked to psychological IPV's detrimental effects. The findings were discussed in the light of the relevant literature. Interventions focusing on strengthening social support and fostering LR skills may promote the psychological well-being of women exposed to psychological IPV.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The prevalence of cognitive frailty and its associated factors in older population with heart failure have not been extensively studied. We investigated the prevalence of cognitive frailty and its association with sleep duration and depression among older adults with heart failure. METHODS This secondary analysis used a cross-sectional sample with 168 older adults with heart failure from an academic tertiary care hospital in South Korea. RESULTS Cognitive frailty was found in 58 (34.5%) older adults with heart failure. Our main finding revealed that longer sleep durations of ≥ 8 h (adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 2.62, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.04-6.59) and depression (adjusted OR = 2.84, 95% CI = 1.22-6.61) predicted an increased risk of cognitive frailty. CONCLUSIONS Early detection on changes in sleep patterns and depression can play a crucial role in reducing the risk of cognitive frailty in patients with heart failure. Longitudinal studies are needed to explore that sleep patterns and depression are both linked to greater risk of developing cognitive frailty among older adults with heart failure. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS Development of a validated instrument for cognitive frailty screening may be beneficial for older adults with heart failure to prevent adverse outcomes.

Abstract
Dementia is an umbrella term for a broad group of age-associated neurodegenerative diseases. It is estimated that dementia affects 50 million people worldwide and that Alzheimer's disease (AD) is responsible for up to 75% of cases. Small extracellular senile plaques composed of filamentous aggregates of amyloid β (Aβ) protein tend to bind to neuronal receptors, affecting cholinergic, serotonergic, dopaminergic and noradrenergic neurotransmission, leading to neuroinflammation, among other pathophysiologic processes and subsequent neuronal death, followed by dementia. The amyloid cascade hypothesis points to a pathological process in the cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP), resulting in pathological Aβ. There is a close relationship between the pathologies that lead to dementia and depression. It is estimated that depression is prevalent in up to 90% of individuals diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, with varying severity, and in 20 to 30% of cases of Alzheimer's disease. The hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis is the great intermediary between the pathophysiological mechanisms in neurodegenerative diseases and depression. This review discusses the role of Aβ protein in the pathophysiological mechanisms of dementia and depression, considering the HPA axis, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, signalling pathways and neurotransmission.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between cardiovascular health (CVH), defined by the American Heart Association's Life's Essential 8 (LE8) score, and incident depression and anxiety. DESIGN A prospective cohort study using data from UK Biobank. SETTING Participants were enrolled from March 2006 to October 2010. PARTICIPANTS Participants without cardiovascular diseases and common mental disorders at baseline and having complete data on metrics of LE8 were included. MEASUREMENTS CVH was assessed by LE8 score including eight components. The overall CVH was categorized as low (LE8 score <50), moderate (50≤ LE8 score <80), and high (LE8 score ≥80). RESULTS We included 115,855 participants (mean age: 55.7 years; female: 52.6%). During a median follow-up of 12.4 years, 3,194 (2.8%) and 4,005 (3.5%) participants had incident depression and anxiety, respectively. Compared with participants having low CVH, those having moderate and high CVH had 37% (HR = 0.63, 95% CI: 0.57-0.70) and 52% (HR = 0.48, 95% CI: 0.41-0.55) lower risk of incident depression. Similarly, moderate and high CVH were related to a lower risk of incident anxiety (HR = 0.81, 95% CI: 0.73-0.89 and HR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.60-0.78). Restricted cubic spline showed that LE8 score was inversely related to incident depression and anxiety in a linear manner, and the risk of incident depression and anxiety decreased by 17% (HR = 0.83, 95% CI: 0.80-0.85) and 10% (HR = 0.90, 95% CI: 0.88-0.92) for 10-point increment in LE8 score, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Higher CVH, evaluated by LE8 score, is strongly associated with a lower risk of incident depression and anxiety, suggesting the significance of optimizing CVH by adopting LE8.

Abstract
It is well described in current literature that Hepatitis B virus (HBV) affects Asian Americans more than any other racial group in the United States and that there is a stigma attached to this condition. The effects of stigma can be lasting, penetrating physiologically and psychologically, yet few studies have focused on the consequences of this phenomenon. The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating role of stigma in the effect of racial discrimination and knowledge (of HBV sequelae) on health status of Korean Americans with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Three hundred sixty-five CHB patients were recruited and enrolled from two clinics in Philadelphia and Los Angeles. Depressive symptoms were measured using the Patient Health Question-9 (PHQ-9), physical health via self-rated health survey and stigma via hepatitis B quality of life (HBQOL)-stigma survey. Perceived racial discrimination and knowledge of CHB sequelae were independent variables. The cohort had an average age of 60.1 years (range 19-84, SD 10.7), 56% were male and 94% were born in South Korea. Mediational analysis found that stigma was a significant mediator between both racial discrimination (indirect effect = .037, Bootstrap 95% CI = [.010-.064]) and sequelae knowledge (indirect effect = .097, Bootstrap 95% CI = [.018-.176]) and depressive symptoms. Stigma also had a direct effect on depressive symptoms (β = .136, p < .01) and self-rated health (β = .018, p < .05). In addition, age, gender, education and employment were related to health outcomes. The findings of this study indicate that HBV-related stigma is an important mediator of mental health outcomes in this population. Future studies should identify other psychosocial factors to develop effective intervention programs to reduce stigma and improve quality of life among CHB patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is an effective treatment for advanced prostate cancer (PCa). Multiple studies have highlighted serious consequences this therapy poses to mental health, particularly depression. We aimed to review the incidence and association between ADT in men with PCa and the risk of depression. METHODS We systematically searched multiple databases, including MEDLINE, Scopus till August 2023 for studies that compared ADT versus control for treating PCa reporting depression as outcome. Meta-analysis was performed using random-effects models and results presented as odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Quality assessment of the included studies was conducted using Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal checklists. RESULTS A total of 38 studies (17 retrospective studies, 16 prospective studies, two cross-sectional studies and two randomized trials) with 360,650 subjects met the inclusion criteria and were included in this meta-analysis. The estimated pooled incidence of depression among ADT patients is 209.5 (95% CI = 122.3; 312.2) per 1000 patients. There is statistically significant relationship between ADT treatment and depression (OR = 1.46, 95% CI = 1.28, 1.67; p = 0, I2 = 86.4%). The results remained consistent across various subgroups. No risk of publication bias was detected by funnel plot and Eggers's test (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION There is a higher risk of depression for men receiving ADT. Further studies evaluating optimal treatments for depression in men on ADT are warranted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE An increased prevalence of mood and anxiety disorders in patients with dysphagia has been noted previously, but whether dysphagia severity may be exacerbated by anxiety and depression has never been studied before. The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of pre-existing diagnosis of anxiety and/or depression (anxiety/depression) on the Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10), a validated patient-reported outcome measure for dysphagia. We hypothesized that patients with dysphagia and normal instrumental evaluation have higher EAT-10 score in the presence of pre-existing anxiety and depression. METHODS A retrospective chart review was conducted of patients seen at the multi-disciplinary dysphagia clinic of an urban academic institution. EAT-10 scores and pre-existing diagnoses of anxiety/depression were collected at the first visit with laryngologists. The two-sample t-test was used to compare mean EAT-10 scores between the anxiety/depression and no anxiety/depression groups, stratified by swallowing dysfunction etiology. RESULTS The study included 290 consecutive patients seen starting in January 2018. In this cohort, 60 (21%) had pre-existing anxiety, 49 (17%) depression, and 36 (12%) both. Overall, 59 patients had normal swallowing based on instrumental swallowing testing (flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing, videofluoroscopic swallow study, esophagram, or esophagoscopy). Among those, mean EAT-10 score was significantly higher in patients with anxiety and/or depression (n = 30) (14.63, SD = 11.42) compared to those with no anxiety and/or depression (n = 29) (8.93, SD = 6.59) (p = 0.023). CONCLUSION While anxiety/depression may aggravate dysphagia in patients with normal swallowing function, this correlation may not hold in those with objective swallowing dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is growing evidence that gray matter atrophy is constrained by normal brain network (or connectome) architecture in neuropsychiatric disorders. However, whether this finding holds true in individuals with depression remains unknown. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between gray matter atrophy and normal connectome architecture at individual level in depression. METHODS In this study, 297 patients with depression and 256 healthy controls (HCs) from two independent Chinese dataset were included: a discovery dataset (105 never-treated first-episode patients and matched 130 HCs) and a replication dataset (106 patients and matched 126 HCs). For each patient, individualized regional atrophy was assessed using normative model and brain regions whose structural connectome profiles in HCs most resembled the atrophy patterns were identified as putative epicenters using a backfoward stepwise regression analysis. RESULTS In general, the structural connectome architecture of the identified disease epicenters significantly explained 44% (±16%) variance of gray matter atrophy. While patients with depression demonstrated tremendous interindividual variations in the number and distribution of disease epicenters, several disease epicenters with higher participation coefficient than randomly selected regions, including the hippocampus, thalamus, and medial frontal gyrus were significantly shared by depression. Other brain regions with strong structural connections to the disease epicenters exhibited greater vulnerability. In addition, the association between connectome and gray matter atrophy uncovered two distinct subgroups with different ages of onset. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that gray matter atrophy is constrained by structural brain connectome and elucidate the possible pathological progression in depression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Hearing impairment affects social networks and mental health. Hearing aids (HA) can improve these deficits. However, their effects might be affected by various factors such as economic status (ES). This study aimed to identify how ES could moderate the effects of HA on social networks, depressive mood, and cognition. METHODS A prospective cohort for new HA users was established and classified into two groups based on their ES: a low ES group (LES group) and a medium to high ES group (MHES group). Audiological examination, Lubben social network scale-18 (LSNS-18), Short form of Geriatric Depression Score, Mini-Mental State Examination in the Korean version of the CERAD Assessment Packet, and surveys for satisfaction with HA were conducted before and at six months after wearing HA. RESULTS Post-HA application LSNS-18 scores were not improved in the LES group whereas they revealed significant improvement in the MHES group (p = 0.003). The LES group showed lower LSNS-18 score (p = 0.020) and its change (p = 0.042) than the MHES group. Additionally, patients with depressive moods in the MHES group showed better improvements than those in the LES group (p = 0.048). The effects of wearing HA on cognition and satisfaction with HA were not significantly different between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS HA did not improve social relationships and depressive moods in the LES group. Comprehensive and multidirectional support as well as hearing rehabilitation may be important for patients with LES.

Abstract
Hearing loss is associated with cognitive/physical health; less is known about mental health. We investigated associations between hearing loss severity, depression, and health-related quality of life among older adults with unaided hearing loss. Data (N = 948) were from the Aging and Cognitive Health Evaluation in Elders Study. Hearing was measured by pure-tone average (PTA), Quick Speech-in-Noise (QuickSIN) test, and the Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly (HHIE-S). Outcomes were validated measures of depression and health-related quality of life. Associations were assessed by negative binomial regression. More severe hearing loss was associated with worse physical health-related quality of life (ratio: .98, 95% CI: .96, 1.00). Better QuickSIN was associated with higher mental health-related quality of life (1.01 [1.00, 1.02]). Worse HHIE-S was associated with depression (1.24 [1.16, 1.33]) and worse mental (.97 [.96, .98]) and physical (.95 [ .93, .96]) health-related quality of life. Further work will test effects of hearing intervention on mental health.

Abstract
AIM To identify and appraise the quality of evidence of transitional care interventions on quality of life in lung cancer patients. BACKGROUND Quality of life is a strong predictor of survival. The transition from hospital to home is a high-risk period for patients' readmission and death, which seriously affect their quality of life. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS The PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and CINAHL databases were searched from inception to 22 October 2022. The primary outcome was quality of life. Statistical analysis was conducted using Review Manager 5.4, results were expressed as standard mean difference (SMD) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). The risk of bias of the included studies was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool. This study was complied with PRISMA guidelines and previously registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023429464). RESULTS Fourteen randomized controlled trials were included consisting of a total of 1700 participants, and 12 studies were included in the meta-analysis. It was found that transitional care interventions significantly improved quality of life (SMD = 0.21, 95% CI: 0.02 to 0.40, p = .03) and helped reduce symptoms (SMD = -0.65, 95% CI: -1.13 to -0.18, p = .007) in lung cancer patients, but did not significantly reduce anxiety and depression, and the effect on self-efficacy was unclear. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that transitional care interventions can improve quality of life and reduce symptoms in patients, and that primarily educational interventions based on symptom management theory appeared to be more effective. But, there was no statistically significant effect on anxiety and depression. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE This study provides references for the application of transitional care interventions in the field of lung cancer care, and encourages nurses and physicians to apply transitional care plans to facilitate patients' safe transition from hospital to home.

Abstract
AIM To explore the prevalence of social isolation among Japanese community-dwelling older adults before and during the COVID-19 pandemic as well as determine how family and friend connections before and during the pandemic affected frail older adults during the pandemic. DESIGN A cross-sectional study. METHODS A total of 852 community-dwelling older adults in Hokkaido and Tokyo, Japan were surveyed conducted between April and November 2021 using convenience sampling. The Lubben social network scale-6, frailty screening index, and geriatric depression scale were used to assess social isolation, frailty and depression, respectively. A path analysis was conducted to evaluate the effect of social isolation on frailty. RESULTS Participants had a mean age of 76.8 ± 6.6 years. Overall, 46% and 59% of participants were socially isolated before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, respectively. Frailty was found in 19% of participants during the pandemic. Friends and family connectedness before the pandemic had no direct relationship with frailty; only friend connectedness affected frailty indirectly via depression. Family connectedness during the pandemic had a significant, negative and direct relationship with frailty. CONCLUSION The findings show that connectedness with family and friends is critical for older people's physical and mental health. IMPACT Nurses in the community should consider these findings to reduce mental health problems and physical decline among older adults. It is important to identify older adults who are socially isolated from their families or friends and provide resources to help them build relationships within their communities. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION Community centre staff and community volunteers assisted in data collection. The public was not involved in data analysis, interpretation or manuscript preparation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Dysphagia is associated with poor outcome, higher mortality, reduced quality of life, and social isolation. We investigate the relationship between swallowing impairment and symptoms of anxiety and depression after ischemic stroke. METHODS Consecutive patients with ischemic stroke participating in the prospective STROKE-CARD Registry study from 2020 to 2022 were assessed for dysphagia on hospital admission (clinical swallowing assessment) and for persistence until discharge and 3-month follow-up (SINGER Independency Index). Anxiety and depression symptoms were recorded using Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) at 3-month follow-up. RESULTS Of 648 patients, 19.3% had dysphagia on admission, persisting in 14.8% at discharge and 6.8% at 3-month follow-up. With the presence or duration of dysphagia (no dysphagia, dysphagia at baseline, at discharge, at 3 months), score (mean ± SD) increased on the BDI (7.9 ± 6.7, 12.5 ± 8.7, 13.5 ± 9.0, 16.5 ± 10.2), HADS-D (4.4 ± 3.7, 7.1 ± 4.2, 7.7 ± 4.4, 9.8 ± 4.3), and HADS-A (4.4 ± 3.5, 5.4 ± 3.6, 6.0 ± 3.6, 7.0 ± 3.6). In linear regression analysis adjusting for age, sex, diabetes, dementia, and either functional disability or stroke severity, BDI and HADS-D scores were significantly higher in patients with dysphagia across all points in time (admission, discharge, 3-month follow-up). An independent association with HADS-A scores was only evident in patients with persisting dysphagia after 3 months. Patients with dysphagia were more likely to receive antidepressants, antipsychotics, or benzodiazepines at discharge and 3-month follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Dysphagia after stroke is common and severely affects psychosocial functioning of individuals. Our results highlight swallowing impairment as an independent predictor for poststroke depressive and, to a lesser extent, anxiety symptoms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Facial expressions are a core component of emotions and nonverbal social communication. Therefore, hypomimia as secondary symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD) has adverse effects like social impairment, stigmatization, under-diagnosis and under-treatment of depression, and a generally lower quality of life. Beside unspecific dopaminergic treatment, specific treatment options for hypomimia in PD are rarely investigated. This quasi-randomized controlled trial evaluated the short-term effects of facial electromyogram (EMG) based biofeedback to enhance facial expression and emotion recognition as nonverbal social communication skills in PD patients. Furthermore effects on affect are examined. METHOD A sample of 34 in-patients with PD were allocated either to facial EMG-biofeedback as experimental group or non-facial exercises as control group. Facial expression during posing of emotions (measured via EMG), facial emotion recognition, and positive and negative affect were assessed before and after treatment. Stronger improvements were expected in the EMG-biofeedback in comparison to the control group. RESULTS The facial EMG-biofeedback group showed significantly greater improvements in overall facial expression, and especially for happiness and disgust. Also, overall facial emotion recognition abilities improved significantly stronger in the experimental group. Positive affect was significantly increased in both groups with no significant differences between them, while negative affect did not change within both groups. CONCLUSIONS The study provides promising evidence for facial EMG-biofeedback as a tool to improve facial expression and emotion recognition in PD. Embodiment theories are discussed as working mechanism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in heightened feelings of loneliness due to lockouts and social restrictions. OBJECTIVE In the present study, we examined the association of loneliness during the pandemic with anxiety and depression, while exploring the moderating role of the tendency to use two emotion-regulation strategies (expressive suppression, cognitive reappraisal). DESIGN We chose to examine these associations in a sample of older adults, because they faced higher risk for loneliness and health problems during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS Specifically, 174 Israeli veterans and ex-prisoners of wars from the 1973 Yom Kippur war (mean age = 69) completed self-report scales tapping loneliness, depression, anxiety, and emotion regulation strategies at the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak (April-May 2020). RESULTS Findings revealed a stronger association between loneliness and depression among participants who had a greater tendency of using suppression. The tendency to use suppression did not significantly moderate the link between loneliness and anxiety. Additionally, a weaker association between loneliness and depression was found among participants who has a greater tendency of using reappraisal. However, these participants showed a stronger association between loneliness and anxiety. CONCLUSIONS These findings highlight the complexity of reappraisal and adds to the growing body of work on emotion regulation.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is often accompanied by depression, which may appear before motor signs. Oleanolic acid (OA), a pentacyclic triterpenoid substance, have many pharmacological properties. However, its efficacy in treating PD-related chronic unpredictable stress (CUS) is unknown. Our study used behavioral, biochemical, and immunohistochemical techniques to assess how OA affected PDrelated CUS. Rotenone (1 mg/kg i.p. for first 21 days) was used to induce Parkinsonism, and modest psychological & environmental stresses generated CUS (from day 22 to day 43) in animals. The study included daily i.p.administration of OA (5, 10, and 20 mg/kg) from day 1 to day 57 in male swiss albino mice. Animals were evaluated for behavioral, biochemical parameters, neurotransmitters, and immunohistochemical expression following the treatment. Results of the study revealed that treatment with OA at all doses alleviated the core symptoms of CUS linked to PD and improved motor and non-motor function. OA therapy significantly lowered IL-1β, TNF-α (p < 0.01, < 0.01, < 0.001), IL-6 (p < 0.05, < 0.01, < 0.001), oxidative stress (p < 0.05, < 0.01, < 0.01), and elevated norepinephrine (p < 0.05, < 0.01, < 0.01), dopamine, and serotonin (p < 0.05, < 0.01, < 0.001) levels. Moreover, OA therapy substantially reduced α-synuclein (p < 0.05, < 0.01, < 0.01) aggregation and increased BDNF (p < 0.05, < 0.01, < 0.001) & Nrf-2 (p < 0.05, < 0.01, < 0.01) levels, which boosts neuronal dopamine survival. The study's findings indicated that OA ameliorates depressive-like behavior persuaded by CUS in PD, decreases neuroinflammation, and improves neurotransmitter concentration via activating Nrf2-BDNF-dopaminergic pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This cross-sectional study examined whether age moderates the relation between sleep problems and suicide risk and investigated whether sleep problems are differentially associated with suicide risk in younger (18-40) and older (60+) adults. METHODS MTurk workers (N = 733) completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Suicidal Behavior Questionnaire-Revised, Patient Health Questionnaire, and demographic questions. Analysis of variance and linear regressions were utilized. RESULTS Older adults scored lower on four PSQI components, symptoms of depression, and suicide risk than younger adults. Age significantly moderated the relation between sleep problems and suicide risk after controlling for gender and depressive symptoms, F(5, 635) = 72.38, p < .001. Sleep problems significantly related to suicide risk in younger adults (t = 6.47, p < .001) but not in older adults (t = 0.57, p = .57). Sleep medication use was related to suicide risk in both groups, whereas daytime dysfunction was related to suicide risk in older adults and sleep disturbances were related to suicide risk in younger adults. CONCLUSIONS The relation between sleep problems and suicide risk differs between younger and older adults. This study adds to the literature suggesting that sleep medications may not be appropriate for older adults. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS Sleep problems are significantly related to suicide risk in younger adults but not older adults. Sleep medication use is associated with suicide risk regardless of age.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression is one of the leading causes of human misery and disability worldwide. For those fortunate enough to have access to the rapidly expanding World Wide Web, online self-help tools can guide those suffering from depression, with or without professional intervention, to better manage their symptoms and maintain some measure of self-actualization. This study assesses the efficacy of the widely used, online self-help tool, iFightDepression®. METHODS A six-week, observational study was conducted with 143 participants (29.4% men, mean age: 37.8; standard deviation [SD] = 12.05, range = 18-70, years) in three intervention groups, as follows: 1) Treatment As Usual (TAU), 2) TAU combined with access to the iFightDepression® tool (TAU + iFD®), 3) TAU combined with iFightDepression® and weekly phone support (TAU + iFD® + phone). Depression symptoms were measured pre- and post- by Patient Health Questionnaire-9. RESULTS There was a significantly greater decrease of depressive symptoms in both iFD® groups compared to the TAU group (time × group interaction: F(2) = 34.657, p < 0.001, partial η2 = 0.331). The reliable change index calculation identified one participant (0.7%) as having experienced a statistically reliable deterioration in depression. A total of 102 participants (71.3%) showed no reliable change, while 40 participants (28.0%) showed a statistically reliable improvement. Multiple binary logistic regression analysis found odds of reliable improvement to be significantly higher in both iFD® groups compared to the TAU group (TAU + iFD®: OR = 18.52, p = 0.015, TAU + iFD® + Phone: OR = 126.72, p < 0.001). Participants living in Budapest were found to have significantly higher odds for a reliable improvement compared to those living in the countryside (odds ratio [OR] = 4.04, p = 0.023). Finally, higher levels of depressive symptoms at baseline (pretest) were also associated with increased odds for post-intervention improvement (OR = 1.58, p < 0.001). The variance explained by the model is 62.0%. With regards to the iFD® self-help program, the mean of completed modules was 4.8 (SD = 1.73, range = 1-6). Participants in the group supported by weekly phone calls completed significantly more modules (n = 50, M = 5.7, SD = 0.76) than participants without weekly telephone support (n = 52, M = 3.9, SD = 1.94, Z = 5.253, p < 0.001). However, there was no significant difference in the number of completed modules between respondents with a reliable improvement in depression (n = 39, M = 4.9, SD = 1.57) and those without a reliable change (n = 63, M = 4.7, SD = 1.83, Z = 0.343, p = 0.731). CONCLUSION Our results confirm previous findings regarding the efficacy of web-based interventions with the low-intensity guidance of mental health professional. Findings suggest that a relatively short additional weekly call may result in a significant decrease in depressive symptoms and higher number of completed iFD® modules. The study confirms that the IFD® tool, both alone and with additional phone support, is a possible and effective way to help patients with mild to moderate and, in some cases, even severe depression. Providing mental and primary health care systems with the availability of online self-help tools may contribute to the efficacious treatment of depression and prevention of the increase in depressive symptoms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study investigated the associations between temporomandibular disorder (TMD) symptoms, psychological distress, and well-being. METHODS A total of 372 university students were recruited and stratified into no TMD, TMD pain, TMJ sounds, and combined TMD groups. Psychological distress and well-being were assessed with the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) and Scales of Psychological Well-being-18 (SPWB-18), respectively. Data were appraised with Kruskal-Wallis/Mann-Whitney U tests and logistic regression analysis (α = 0.05). RESULTS Significant differences in anxiety, stress, and autonomy scores were observed among the four groups, and psychological distress was mostly negatively correlated to psychological well-being. Multivariate analyses revealed that anxiety was associated with TMD pain, TMJ sounds, and combined TMD, while autonomy was related to TMJ sounds. CONCLUSION Participants with TMD symptoms generally experienced more psychological distress and lower autonomy. Anxiety appeared to increase the likelihood of TMD pain and/or TMJ sounds.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Meta-analyses on the relative efficacy of psychodynamic psychotherapy (PDT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for depressive disorders are limited by heterogeneity in diagnostic samples and comparators and a lack of equivalence testing. OBJECTIVE We addressed this through a meta-analytic test of the equivalence of manualized PDT and CBT in treating adults with depressive disorders as determined by diagnostic interviews. Sensitivity analyses evaluated the impact of pretreatment differences, mixed diagnostic samples, author allegiance, study quality, year of publication and outliers on findings. METHOD A comprehensive literature search across multiple databases using reliable screening methods identified nine randomized controlled trials directly comparing manualized PDT and CBT for diagnosed depressive disorders in adults. Following pre-registration, we employed random effect models for our meta-analyses and two one-sided test procedures for equivalence testing. RESULTS Independent raters determined that all studies were of adequate quality. Immediately posttreatment, depressive symptoms were statistically equivalent across PDT and CBT (k = 9; g = -0.11, 90% confidence interval [90% CI]: -0.24 to 0.02, pequivalence = .048, pNHST = .212, I2 = 32.7). At follow-up, the longest time point within a year, depressive symptoms were neither statistically equivalent nor statistically different (k = 6; g = -0.16, 90% CI: -0.31 to -0.02, pequivalence = .184, pNHST = .126, I2 = 0.00). CONCLUSION The efficacy of manualized PDT is equal to manualized CBT immediately at posttreatment for depressive disorders in the adult general population. Nevertheless, insufficient data exists to reach a conclusion regarding equivalence at follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression is a risk factor for dementia and weight change can appear as a symptom of depression. However, the association between weight change after the diagnosis of depression and the risk of dementia is poorly established. This study aimed to investigate the association between weight change before and after a diagnosis of depression with the subsequent risk of dementia. METHODS The National Health Insurance Sharing Service database was used. 1 308 730 patients aged ⩾40 years diagnosed with depression were identified to be eligible. Weight changes after their depression diagnosis were categorized and subsequent incidence of dementia was followed up. RESULTS During an average follow-up period of 5.2 years (s.d., 2.0 years), 69 373 subjects were newly diagnosed with all-cause dementia (56 351 were Alzheimer's disease and 6877 were vascular dementia). Regarding all outcomes, compared to those with a minimal weight change (-5 to 5%), all groups with weight gain or loss showed increased risks of dementia after adjusting potential risk factors for dementia, in all analysis models with a dose-response relationship, showing a U-shaped association. CONCLUSIONS Weight change as a symptom of depression could be a predictor for the future development of dementia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The present study sought to examine the association between sleep disturbance, mental health symptoms, and quality of life among informal caregivers. The study also aimed to assess whether greater caregiver demands (i.e., hours spent providing care per week) altered the associations between these physical and mental health outcomes. METHODS 530 informal caregivers participated in an online study of sleep and health across the lifespan. Sleep disturbance was assessed via the Insomnia Severity Index and RU-SATED. Mental health was measured using the PHQ-2, GAD-2, and the PANAS. Quality of life was assessed via the Satisfaction with Life Scale. RESULTS Results revealed an indirect association between sleep disturbance and quality of life via increased mental health symptoms (β = -.21, p =.001). This indirect association was moderated by caregiver demands (β =.33, p =.002), with higher caregiving demands increasing the association between sleep disturbance and quality of life. CONCLUSIONS Findings highlight the adverse outcomes associated with sleep disturbance among caregivers and suggest that higher caregiving demands increases the effect of sleep disturbance on quality of life. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS Increased caregiving is associated with adverse physical and mental health consequences. Assessing and treating sleep disturbance among caregivers is needed and may lead to improvements in mental health and quality of life.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE One barrier to treatment seeking, uptake, and engagement is the belief that nothing can be done to reduce symptoms. Given the widespread use of social media to disseminate information about important issues, including psychological health, we sought to understand how the influence of social media communication regarding mental health impacts viewers' beliefs about psychopathology recovery. METHOD Undergraduate participants from a large Midwestern university (N = 322) were randomized to view a series of Tweets characterizing psychopathology from a fixed mindset perspective, a growth mindset perspective, or, in the control condition, Tweets unrelated to psychopathology. Afterward, they completed a series of questionnaires designed to assess beliefs about recovery from depression and anxiety. RESULTS Participants in the growth mindset condition endorsed less pessimistic beliefs about their ability (i.e., self-efficacy) to alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety, and they believed these symptoms to be less stable and innate relative to those in the fixed mindset condition. CONCLUSION Social media communication that characterizes psychopathology from a growth mindset perspective may be a viable intervention for improving beliefs around mental health self-efficacy and the malleable nature of mental illness, particularly depression and anxiety. Clinicians may be able to use social media platforms to promote functional beliefs around mental illness.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Whether depression affects activities of daily living (ADLs) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) via excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) remains unclear; moreover, few longitudinal studies have been conducted. METHODS We recruited 421 patients from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative. We constructed a latent growth mediation model to explore the longitudinal mediating effect of depression on the relationship between EDS and ADLs. RESULTS EDS (p < .001) and depression scores (p < .001) both increased, and ADL scores (p < .001) decreased. Moreover, EDS was positively correlated with depression, whereas an increase in EDS significantly reduced ADLs. The initial value (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.026, 0.154) and the rate of change (95% CI: 0.138, 0.514) of self-reported depression measured using the Geriatric Depression Scale(GDS) partially mediated the association between EDS and ADL score. CONCLUSIONS The indirect effect of the longitudinal changes of depression on the relationship between EDS and ADLs highlights the importance of depression changes in PD patients with EDS. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS Depression should be considered a mediator by clinicians; preventing the worsening of depression is essential for improving ADLs in patients with PD, especially those with EDS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted many areas of life, including culturally accepted practices at end-of-life care, funeral rites, and access to social, community, and professional support. This survey investigated the mental health outcomes of Australians bereaved during this time to determine how these factors might have impacted bereavement outcomes. METHODS An online survey indexing pandemic and bereavement experiences, levels of grief, depression, anxiety, and health, work, and social impairment. Latent class analysis (LCA) was used to identify groups of individuals who shared similar symptom patterns. Multinomial regressions identified pandemic-related, loss-related, and sociodemographic correlates of class membership. RESULTS 1911 Australian adults completed the survey. The LCA identified four classes: low symptoms (46.8%), grief (17.3%), depression/anxiety (17.7%), and grief/depression/anxiety (18.2%). The latter group reported the highest levels of health, work, and social impairment. The death of a child or partner and an inability to care for the deceased due to COVID-19 public health measures were correlated with grief symptoms (with or without depression and anxiety). Preparedness for the person's death and levels of pandemic-related loneliness and social isolation differentiated all four classes. Unemployment was associated with depression/anxiety (with or without grief). CONCLUSIONS COVID-19 had profound impacts for the way we lived and died, with effects that are likely to ricochet through society into the foreseeable future. These lessons learned must inform policymakers and healthcare professionals to improve bereavement care and ensure preparedness during and following future predicted pandemics to prevent negative impacts.

Abstract
This clinical viewpoint article aims to draw attention to a yet unexplored factor influencing suicidal behavior: age of onset of suicidal behavior. To tackle the substantial heterogeneity among depressed older attempters, we suggest consideration of at least two distinct pathways to suicidal behavior in late life based on when the first suicidal crisis occurred. Specifically, we discuss the current state of research and the rationale behind the suggested early-late-onset categorization of late-life suicidal behavior. We summarize available evidence so far on early-onset and late-onset attempters, and the potential heterogeneity in the interplay of risk/precipitating factors. Certain risk factors for suicide, such as impulsivity and borderline traits, decrease with age, while memory and broader cognitive impairments increase with age. Research indicates that familial/social exposure to suicidal behavior, childhood trauma, impulsivity, maladaptive personality traits, longstanding interpersonal difficulties, and legal problems are found predominantly in attempters experiencing their first suicidal crisis between youth and early midlife. In contrast, dementia prodrome is one of the most promising but understudied candidates for late-onset suicide risk, especially in the context of other risk factors. Moreover, personality traits conferring increased vulnerability to late-onset suicidal behavior (such as high conscientiousness) are not the same as ones classically identified in younger attempters and in older suicide attempters who have early-onset suicidal behavior (such as neuroticism and Cluster B traits). We discuss methodological points about studying age of onset of suicidal behavior, outline clinical implications, share ideas for future directions, and call for research on this understudied topic.

Abstract
Shift workers support critical 24-hr operations; their health can be impaired by disrupted circadian rhythms and dysfunctional sleep. Shift work sleep disorder (SWSD) is a prevalent condition with significant psychological consequences. Nurse leaders have not yet implemented effective policies to prevent SWSD and optimize shift workers' mental health. The purpose of this integrative review was to examine research about SWSD within the context of neurobiological, sociological, and psychological perspectives that can inform policy changes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Policy Analytic Framework was used to determine the priority recommendations. A search of three databases provided 19 research articles about SWSD and mental health, which illustrated how SWSD is common around the world in many occupations. Backward-rotating schedules and quick returns were risk factors for SWSD. In addition, SWSD was associated with circadian languidity, sleep reactivity, depressive symptoms, and anxiety. Collectively, the studies lacked objective measures of sleep and circadian rhythms, which has hindered the ability to devise interventions that will target the neurobiological causes of SWSD. The research also lacked attention to important sociological factors, such as workers' pay and benefits. Using these findings, nurse leaders can contribute to public policy reforms that increase funding for more rigorous SWSD research. Lawmakers should be advised by nurse leaders to enforce new regulations that provide incentives for employers to create healthier workplaces, such as prohibiting the overuse of schedules that make employees vulnerable to SWSD and providing funds for interventions to prevent SWSD and support mental health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mechanisms underlying the psychological and cardiovascular disease (CVD) benefits of physical activity (PA) are not fully understood. OBJECTIVES This study tested whether PA: 1) attenuates stress-related neural activity, which is known to potentiate CVD and for its role in anxiety/depression; 2) decreases CVD in part through this neural effect; and 3) has a greater impact on CVD risk among individuals with depression. METHODS Participants from the Mass General Brigham Biobank who completed a PA survey were studied. A subset underwent 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomographic imaging. Stress-related neural activity was measured as the ratio of resting amygdalar-to-cortical activity (AmygAC). CVD events were ascertained from electronic health records. RESULTS A total of 50,359 adults were included (median age 60 years [Q1-Q3: 45-70 years]; 40.1% male). Greater PA was associated with both lower AmygAC (standardized β: -0.245; 95% CI: -0.444 to -0.046; P = 0.016) and CVD events (HR: 0.802; 95% CI: 0.719-0.896; P < 0.001) in multivariable models. AmygAC reductions partially mediated PA's CVD benefit (OR: 0.96; 95% CI: 0.92-0.99; P < 0.05). Moreover, PA's benefit on incident CVD events was greater among those with (vs without) preexisting depression (HR: 0.860; 95% CI: 0.810-0.915; vs HR: 0.929; 95% CI: 0.910-0.949; P interaction = 0.011). Additionally, PA above guideline recommendations further reduced CVD events, but only among those with preexisting depression (P interaction = 0.023). CONCLUSIONS PA appears to reduce CVD risk in part by acting through the brain's stress-related activity; this may explain the novel observation that PA reduces CVD risk to a greater extent among individuals with depression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the profiles of psychological flexibility among dementia family caregivers and examine their associations with psychological well-being and caregiving factors. METHODS Participants were 521 dementia family caregivers in Japan. Latent profile analysis was conducted to explore the profiles of psychological flexibility. The analyses examined differences in depression, anxiety, life satisfaction, and work-family conflict/enrichment between the profiles, and whether sociodemographic variables and caregiving stressors predict the profile. RESULTS Four distinct profiles were identified: high psychological flexibility (14.2%), moderate psychological flexibility with high commitment (24.7%), moderate psychological flexibility with low commitment (48.0%), and low psychological flexibility (13.1%). The low psychological flexibility profile exhibited the highest scores of depression, anxiety and work-family conflict, followed by the moderate psychological flexibility with low/high commitment profiles, and the high psychological flexibility profile. The high psychological flexibility and moderate psychological flexibility with high commitment profiles exhibited higher life satisfaction than the moderate psychological flexibility with low commitment profile. Caregiving stressors, marital status, and caregiver status predicted the profile. CONCLUSION Enhancing defusion and acceptance, rather than increasing commitment to personal values, may be beneficial in supporting distressed caregivers. Having more caregiving stressors, being single/divorced/bereaved, and being a primary caregiver may be useful indicators of decreased psychological flexibility among dementia family caregivers.

OBJECTIVE In this study, we examine how impairments in vision, hearing, touch, and olfaction relate to depression in older adults, considering both individual and multisensory impairments (MSIs). STUDY DESIGN Analysis of cross-sectional data from a longitudinal investigation involving black and white older adults aged 70 to 79 at enrollment. SETTING We studied 1640 black and white participants in the Health ABC study using complete sensory evaluation data from years 3 to 5. METHODS Our MSI assessment utilized data obtained for visual acuity, hearing perception, olfactory performance, and tactile function. We performed multivariable logistic regression analyses to examine the associations between the presence of individual and MSIs and depression which was defined as the presence of antidepressants prescribed for depression, or a Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale score of greater than 10. RESULTS We observed a possible dose-response relationship between the number of sensory impairments and depression. In adjusted models, when compared to no impairments, vision (odds ratio [OR] = 1.45, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.09-1.93) and hearing impairments (OR = 1.49, 95% CI: 1.11-1.99) were significantly associated with depression, whereas olfaction (OR = 1.11, 95% CI: 0.83-1.47) and tactile impairments (OR = 1.28, 95% CI: 0.96-1.70) were not. Participants with 3 sensory impairments had a higher rate of depression (OR = 2.05, 95% CI: 1.22-3.54) compared to those without impairments, and this risk increased further for those with 4 sensory impairments (OR = 2.95, 95% CI: 1.48-5.88). CONCLUSION The findings suggest that individuals with MSI represent a high-risk population for depression, warranting close monitoring to screen for depression. The study emphasizes the importance of considering multiple sensory impairments in the context of mental health and supports the early identification and monitoring of depression in this population.

Abstract
The compound N-(3-(phenylselanyl)prop-2-yn-1-yl)benzamide (SePB), which combines a selenium atom and a benzamide nucleus in an organic structure, has demonstrated a fast antidepressant-like effect in mice. This action is influenced by the serotonergic system and represents a promising development in the search for novel antidepressant drugs to treat major depressive disorder (MDD), which often resists conventional treatments. This study aimed to further explore the mechanism underlying the antidepressant-like effect of SePB by investigating the involvement of the dopaminergic and noradrenergic systems in the tail suspension test (TST) in mice and evaluating its pharmacokinetic profile in silico. Preadministration of the dopaminergic antagonists haloperidol (0.05 mg/kg, intraperitoneally (i.p.)), a nonselective antagonist of dopamine (DA) receptors, SCH23390 (0.01 mg/kg, subcutaneously (s.c.)), a D1 receptor antagonist, and sulpiride (50 mg/kg, i.p.), a D2/3 receptor antagonist, before SePB (10 mg/kg, intragastrically (i.g.)) prevented the anti-immobility effect of SePB in the TST, demonstrating that these receptors are involved in the antidepressant-like effect of SePB. Administration of the noradrenergic antagonists prazosin (1 mg/kg, i.p.), an α1-adrenergic antagonist, yohimbine (1 mg/kg, i.p.), an α2-adrenergic antagonist, and propranolol (2 mg/kg, i.p.), a β-adrenergic antagonist, did not block the antidepressant-like effect of SePB on TST, indicating that noradrenergic receptors are not involved in this effect. Additionally, the coadministration of SePB and bupropion (a noradrenaline/dopamine reuptake inhibitor) at subeffective doses (0.1 and 3 mg/kg, respectively) produced antidepressant-like effects. SePB also demonstrated good oral bioavailability and low toxicity in computational absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) analyses. These findings suggest that SePB has potential as a new antidepressant drug candidate with a particular focus on the dopaminergic system.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study is an investigation of five specific COVID-related stressors and their longitudinal impact on adult depression and anxiety. METHOD A total of 592 adults comprised the initial sample at Time 1 in April/May 2020. Follow-ups were conducted about a month later, again in March 2021 and then in March 2022. RESULTS Applied linear mixed effect models showed a significant decrease in mean depression scores and anxiety scores from Time 1 to both Times 3 and 4. Neither change over time in anxiety or depression were found to be related to COVID diagnosis, COVID hospitalization, or COVID death. Self-quarantine was related to changes over time in both depression and anxiety, and household quarantine was related to changes over time in depression. CONCLUSION While the fallout of the pandemic continues, it is important to understand how these factors may be affecting mental health to better understand where intervention is necessary.
