Prenatal exposure to maternal and paternal depressive symptoms and white matter microstructure in children
ConclusionsPrenatal maternal depressive symptoms were associated with higher MD in the uncinate fasciculus and the cingulum bundle. These structures are part of the limbic system, which is involved in motivation, emotion, learning, and memory. As paternal depressive symptoms were also related to lower FA in the cingulum, the observed effect may partly reflect a genetic predisposition and shared environmental family factors and to a lesser extent a specific intrauterine effect.

A longitudinal study of women's depression symptom profiles during and after the postpartum phase
ConclusionsThese results suggest that PPD may be a unique syndrome, necessitating research, diagnosis, and treatment strategies distinct from those for MDD. Results indicate the possibility that Worry is an enhanced feature of PPD compared to depression outside the postpartum period, and the crucial role of sadness/anhedonia in MDD diagnosis may be less applicable to PPD diagnosis.

Obsessive –compulsive disorder and the risk of subsequent mental disorders: A community study of adolescents and young adults
ConclusionsThis study provides strong evidence that prior OCD is associated with an increased risk of subsequent onset of BIP, bulimia nervosa, dysthymia, GAD, and social phobia among adolescents and young adults. Future studies should evaluate if early treatment of OCD can prevent the onset of these subsequent mental disorders. (Source: Depression and Anxiety)

Depression is associated with dimensional and categorical effects on white matter pathways
ConclusionAnhedonia was positively correlated with reduced FA and increased RD in white matter pathways that connect regions critical for value coding, representing stimulus‐reward associations, and guiding value‐based action selection. Thus, a cardinal symptom of MDD—anhedonia—was lawfully related to abnormalities in reward network connectivity. (Source: Depression and Anxiety)

Cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety and related disorders: A meta ‐analysis of randomized placebo‐controlled trials
Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for anxiety‐related disorders based on randomized placebo‐controlled trials. We included 41 studies that randomly assigned patients (N = 2,843) with acute stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder (PD), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or social anxiety disorder (SAD) to CBT or a psychological or pill placebo condition. Findings demonstrated moderate placebo‐controlled effects of CBT on target disorder symptoms (Hedges’ g = 0.56), and small to m...

Behavioral avoidance predicts treatment outcome with exposure and response prevention for obsessive –compulsive disorder
ConclusionsThese results suggest that avoidance behaviors are an important clinical factor in EX/RP outcomes and indicate that assessing avoidance may provide an efficient method for predicting EX/RP outcomes. Avoidance may be particularly relevant in EX/RP as compared to medication treatment, though future replication of these initial results is required. (Source: Depression and Anxiety)
