Targeting sedentary behavior decreases depressive symptoms and improves sleep in people with Parkinson ’s Disease
Background: Physical Therapy (PT) and regular exercise are an integral part of the management of Parkinson's Disease (PD). Exercise is also known to have a mitigating effect on depressive symptoms. There is increasing evidence that decreasing sedentary behavior is also a valuable tool to manage PD symptoms. We looked at the effect of decreasing sedentary behavior on depressive symptoms in PD by offering an opportunity to replace sedentary behavior with slow paced standing and stepping behavior in the home environment.

Synaptic density changes following electroconvulsive therapy: A longitudinal pilot study with PET-MR 11C-UCB-J imaging in late-life depression
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an effective treatment for late-life depression (LLD), but its exact mechanism is not fully understood. The neuroplasticity hypothesis suggests that ECT works by inducing seizures that lead to neurotrophic effects crucial for its success (1). Supporting the neuroplasticity hypothesis, preclinical research shows that electroconvulsive stimulation (ECS) enhances neurotrophic factors, promotes neurogenesis, boosts synaptogenesis, axonal sprouting, dendritic growth, and spine density, and alters synaptic circuitry in the hippocampus (2).

Investigating mental health and well-being among MBA students during campus placement season in India
Mohammed Laeequddin, Kareem Abdul Waheed, Vinita Sahay Mental Health and Social Inclusion, Vol. ahead-of-print, No. ahead-of-print, pp.- This paper aims to identify the factors that influence students' mental health, particularly in the context of MBA students passing through an emotional phase of the placement season.A conceptual model through literature has been proposed. To test the proposed model of this study, a survey was conducted among the students of three MBA institutes of national reputation in India. The study's hypotheses were investigated using partial least squares-structural equations modeling and analysis...

Interpersonal sensitivity predicts slower change and less change in anxiety symptoms in cognitive behavioural therapy
CONCLUSIONS: Interpersonal sensitivity at baseline predicts less change and a slower rate of change in anxiety symptoms. Early detection of elevated interpersonal sensitivity can help therapists take action to address these barriers to successful treatment and help scientists build decision support tools that accurately predict the trajectory of change in anxiety symptoms for these patients.PMID:38685732 | DOI:10.1111/bjc.12470 (Source: The British Journal of Clinical Psychology)

Examining processes of change for acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy self-help books with depressed college students
Cogn Behav Ther. 2024 Apr 30:1-16. doi: 10.1080/16506073.2024.2346854. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGiven the prevalence of depression, it is worthwhile to consider a variety of treatment approaches to reach as many sufferers as possible, including highly accessible formats such as self-help books. Books based in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) propose to treat depression through distinct processes of change, though the degree to which these treatments are distinguishable in this format is unclear. Furthermore, it is possible that some individuals may respond better to therap...

Perceived Control, Functional Status, Depressive Symptoms, and Anxiety: Mediating and Moderating Influences on Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients With Heart Failure
CONCLUSION: Functional status moderated the indirect effects of perceived control on HRQoL through DS and anxiety in patients with heart failure. Efforts to improve HRQoL by targeting perceived control may be more effective when considering DS and anxiety in patients with low to moderate levels of functional status.PMID:38687114 | DOI:10.1097/JCN.0000000000001100 (Source: The Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing)

Dorsal dentate gyrus mediated enriched environment-induced anxiolytic and antidepressant effects in cortical infarcted mice
This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of EE on emotional disorders after cerebral ischemia and its underling mechanism. In this study, sensorimotor cortical infarction was induced by photothrombosis with stable infarct location and volume, resulting in motor dysfunction, anxiety and depression-like behaviors in mice, with decreased ALFF and ReHo values and decreased c-fos expression in the infarction area and adjacent regions. Seven days' EE treatment significantly improved motor function of contralateral forelimb and exhibited anxiolytic and antidepressant effects in infarcted mice. Compared to the mice housing in...

High Rates of Eye Surgery Cancellation in Veterans Related to Mental Health
CONCLUSIONS: There was a significant amount of eye surgery cancellations in veterans with variation by subspecialty and comorbid conditions. Having a psychiatric illness was correlated with increased rates of surgery cancellation amongst veterans. Areas to improve surgical utilization include risk stratification and increased support of vulnerable patients before surgery.PMID:38687601 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usae230 (Source: Military Medicine)

Association of Lower Rostral Anterior Cingulate GABA+ and Dysregulated Cortisol Stress Response With Altered Functional Connectivity in Young Adults With Lifetime Depression: A Multimodal Imaging Investigation of Trait and State Effects
CONCLUSIONS: Lifetime MDD was characterized by reduced rACC GABA+ as well as dysregulated cortisol-related interactions between top-down control (frontoparietal) and threat (task-related) networks.
