IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 525: The Types of Psychosocial Factors Associated with Suicidality Outcomes for People Living with Bipolar Disorder: A Scoping Review
. Jones Bipolar Disorder is associated with high rates of suicidal thoughts, behaviors, and outcomes, yet the lived experience of suicidality and Bipolar Disorder is not particularly well understood. Understanding the role of psychosocial aetiologies in suicidality outcomes for those living with Bipolar Disorder is key for developing appropriately targeted interventions focusing on factors that are amenable to change. In line with PRISMA guidance, we conducted a scoping review to identify the types of psychosocial factors studied in relation to the experience of suicidality for people living with Bipolar Disorder diagn...

Oculomotor Abnormalities and Aberrant Neuro-Developmental Markers: Composite Endophenotype for Bipolar I Disorder: Anomalies Oculomotrices et Marqueurs Neuro-D éveloppementaux Aberrants : Endophénotype Composite du Trouble Bipolaire I
CONCLUSIONS: AS and SPEM could enhance the utility of NSSs, and MPAs as markers for BD. The presence of these abnormalities in FEM suggests their role in understanding the etiopathogenesis of BD in patients who are in the early course of illness. These have the potential to be composite endophenotypes and have further utility in early identification in BD.PMID:38651336 | DOI:10.1177/07067437241248048 (Source: Canadian Journal of Psychiatry)

Multiple sclerosis and bipolar disorder: an  overlap between soma and psyche
Tijdschr Psychiatr. 2024;66(3):165-167.ABSTRACTThis clinical vignette describes a 29-year-old woman who had her first neurological manifestations of multiple sclerosis (MS) on the same day as a second lifetime manic episode as part of a bipolar I disorder. The patient was stable for eight years before this episode. An MRI-scan conducted during admission showed multiple demyelinating lesions in the frontal cortex, which might have influenced the development and course of the manic episode. Her manic symptoms went into remission during the same time as her neurological symptoms. This clinical vignette with literature review ...

Self-directed digital interventions for the improvement of emotion regulation--effectiveness for mental health and functioning in adolescents: protocol for a systematic review
Introduction Research suggests that problems with emotion regulation, that is, how a person manages and responds to an emotional experience, are related to a range of psychological disorders (eg, bipolar disorder, anxiety and depression). Interventions targeting emotion regulation have been shown to improve mental health in adults, but evidence on related interventions for adolescents is still emerging. Increasingly, self-directed digital interventions (eg, mobile apps) are being developed to target emotion regulation in this population, but questions remain about their effectiveness. This systematic review aimed to synthe...

Seasonal patterns in Chinese population: Validating the seasonal pattern assessment questionnaire and exploring associations with psychiatric diagnoses and biological rhythms
In this study, we enrolled 198 psychiatric patients with anxiety and depressive disorders (A&D), bipolar disorder (BD), and schizophrenia (SZ), as well as healthy college students. Online questionnaires, including the Seasonal Pattern Assessment Questionnaire (SPAQ) for seasonality, the Morningness and Eveningness Questionnaire-5 (MEQ-5) for chronotypes, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), were administered. The validity and reliability of the Chinese version of the SPAQ were thoroughly analyzed, revealing a Cronbach's alpha of 0.896 with a two-factor structure. Results indicated that higher seasonality was ...

Study on exosomes for identifying bipolar disorder in early stage: A cross ‐sectional and validation study protocol
DiscussionExosome-derived microRNA and related proteins have potential in serving as a good medium for exploring mental disorders because it can pass through the blood-brain barrier bidirectionally and convey a large amount of information stably. Improving the early diagnosis of BD would help implement appropriate intervention strategy as early as possible and significantly reduce the burden of disease. (Source: Brain and Behavior)

One in Four People With Schizophrenia or Bipolar Have Multiple Physical Health Problems
Astudy inLancet Psychiatry reports that adults with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder are more than twice as likely as those without these disorders to have multiple physical health problems like heart disease or diabetes. Further, the presence of multiple physical problems was more common in adults with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder than the presence of multiple psychiatric disorders.“While health services and treatment guidelines often operate on the assumption that individuals have a single principal diagnosis, these results attest to the clinical complexity many people with severe mental illness face in relation ...

High Carrier Mobility and Promising Thermoelectric Module Performance of N ‐Type PbSe Crystals
Optimizing carrier concentration is crucial for thermoelectric materials. Previous studies suggest an ideal range from ~1019 to ~1021 cm−3 (blue line). Yet, grain boundaries in polycrystals hinder carrier mobility. The authors propose enhancing mobility through crystal growth and light-doping at lower concentrations (from ~1018 to 1019 cm−3) for potentially elevated ZT values (red line). AbstractThe scarcity of Te hampers the widespread use of Bi2Te3-based thermoelectric modules. Here, the thermoelectric module potential of PbSe is investigated by improving its carrier mobility. Initially, large PbSe crystals are gro...

How much or how often? Examining the screening properties of the DSM cross-cutting symptom measure in a youth population-based sample
CONCLUSIONS: The DSM-XC domains showed transdiagnostic screening properties, providing small but meaningful changes in the likelihood of internalizing disorders in the community, which can be improved by asking frequency of symptoms compared to intensity. The DSM-XC is currently lacking meaningful domains for externalizing disorders.PMID:38639338 | DOI:10.1017/S0033291724000849 (Source: Psychological Medicine)

Most People Experiencing Homelessness Have Mental Health Disorders, Study Finds
Sixty-seven percent of people experiencing homelessness worldwide have a mental health disorder, according to areport published yesterday inJAMA Psychiatry. Additionally, the prevalence of mental health disorders among this population appears to be on the rise.“The relationship between mental health disorders and homelessness is complex and bidirectional,” wrote Rebecca Barry, Ph.D., of the University of Calgary and colleagues. “[M]ental health disorders may lead to situations that result in homelessness, or homelessness may be a stressor contributi ng to the development or worsening of mental health disorder symptom...
