COMT val158met polymorphism links to altered fear conditioning and extinction are modulated by PTSD and childhood trauma
ConclusionsThese findings support the hypothesis that G × E interactions underlie associations of COMT val158met with fear inhibition deficits. These studies confirm that Met/Met carriers with PTSD have poor fear inhibition, and support further research in understanding how this polymorphism might impact response to extinction‐based therapies.

How willing are you? Willingness as a predictor of change during treatment of adults with obsessive –compulsive disorder
ConclusionsWillingness to fully experience unpleasant and unwanted thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations during exposures appears to be a marker of successful exposure therapy in adults with OCD. Future research should examine how willingness may enhance extinction learning during ERP. (Source: Depression and Anxiety)

Examining the diagnostic utility of the DSM ‐5 PTSD symptoms among male and female returning veterans
ConclusionsICD‐11 PTSD criteria demonstrate neither greater diagnostic specificity nor reduced rates of comorbidity relative to DSM‐5 criteria and, as such, do not perform as intended. Modifications to existing symptoms or new symptoms may improve differential diagnosis. (Source: Depression and Anxiety)

Examining the scope and patterns of deliberate self ‐injurious cutting content in popular social media
ConclusionsFindings characterize the graphic nature of online SNS deliberate self‐injury content and the relative absence of SNS‐posted resources for populations seeking out deliberate self‐injurious cutting content. Mental health professionals must recognize the rapidly changing landscape of adolescent media consumption, influences, and social interaction as they may pertain to self‐harm patterns.

Sensing behavioral symptoms of mental health and delivering personalized interventions using mobile technologies
Unlike most other health conditions, the treatment of mental illness relies on subjective measurement. In addition, the criteria for diagnosing mental illnesses are based on broad categories of symptoms that do not account for individual deviations from these criteria. The increasing availability of personal digital devices, such as smartphones that are equipped with sensors, offers a new opportunity to continuously and passively measure human behavior in situ. This promises to lead to more precise assessment of human behavior and ultimately individual mental health. More refined modeling of individual mental health and a ...

Increased neural response to social rejection in major depression
ConclusionsThese preliminary results support the hypothesis that depression is associated with hyperactive response to social rejection. These findings highlight the importance of studying social interactions in depression, as they often lead to social withdrawal and isolation. (Source: Depression and Anxiety)
