The relationship between timing of onset of menarche and depressive symptoms from adolescence to adulthood
CONCLUSIONS: This study did not find a persistent effect of early menarche, compared to normative, on depressive symptoms. However, our findings are consistent with the level of depressive symptoms increasing at the onset of menarche irrespective of timing. The late onset girls 'catch up' with their peers who experience menarche earlier in terms of depressive symptoms. Future studies should continue to assess the impact of timing of menarche further into adulthood.PMID:37766510 | DOI:10.1017/S2045796023000707 (Source: Epidemiology and Psychiatric Sciences)

Characterization of antipsychotic utilization before clozapine initiation for individuals with schizophrenia: an innovative visualization of trajectories using French National Health Insurance data
CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that the median number of TTs during the 36 months before clozapine prescription was higher than the two recommended. The different trajectories were associated with individual characteristics and treatment differences, suggesting that additional studies of clinical parameters are needed to understand barriers to clozapine prescription.PMID:37723967 | DOI:10.1017/S2045796023000732 (Source: Epidemiology and Psychiatric Sciences)
