Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) combined with unsupervised machine learning shows sensitivity to identify individuals in potential need for psychiatric assessment
Eur Arch Psychiatry Clin Neurosci. 2023 Sep 16. doi: 10.1007/s00406-023-01668-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEcological momentary assessment (EMA), a structured diary assessment technique, has shown feasibility to capture psychotic(-like) symptoms across different study groups. We investigated whether EMA combined with unsupervised machine learning can distinguish groups on the continuum of genetic risk toward psychotic illness and identify individuals with need for extended healthcare. Individuals with psychotic disorder (PD, N = 55), healthy individuals (HC, N = 25) and HC with first-degree relatives with psychosis (RE...

Individuals with psychotic disorder (PD,N = 55), healthy individuals (HC,N = 25) and HC with first-degree relatives with psychosis (RE,N = 20) were assessed at two sites over 7 days using EMA. Cluster analysis determined subgr...

Mental health problems during the COVID-19 pandemic among residents of Jimma town: a cross-sectional study
Eur Arch Psychiatry Clin Neurosci. 2023 Sep 15. doi: 10.1007/s00406-023-01674-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe COVID-19 pandemic presents an unprecedented challenge to community wellbeing and mental health. However, quantifiable information on the extent of mental health problems and associated factors due to the pandemic is still lacking in low-income countries. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the levels of depression, anxiety, and stress and their association with risk and resilience factors among residents of Jimma town in Southwestern Ethiopia. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted between Oct...

Theta burst stimulation add on to dialectical behavioral therapy in borderline-personality-disorder: methods and design of a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled pilot trial
This study protocol describes the methods and design of a randomized, single-blinded, sham-controlled clinical pilot study in which BPD patients will be randomly assigned to either iTBS or sham during four consecutive weeks (20 sessions in total) in addition to standardized DBT treatment. The stimulation will focus on the unilateral stimulation of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), which plays an important role in the control of impulsivity and risk-taking. Primary outcome is the difference in borderline symptomatology, while secondary target criteria are depressive symptoms, general functional level, impulsi...

Alcohol does not influence trust in others or oxytocin, but increases positive affect and risk-taking: a randomized, controlled, within-subject trial
DISCUSSION: The results do not verify alcohol effects on perceived trustworthiness or oxytocin in male individuals. However, they indicate that alcohol (versus control) might inhibit an increase in dihydrotestosterone and confirm that alcohol amplifies positive affect and risk-taking. This provides novel mechanistic insight into social facilitation as an alcohol-drinking motive.PMID:37707566 | DOI:10.1007/s00406-023-01676-w (Source: European Archives of Psychiatry and Clinical Neuroscience)

Transcranial alternating current stimulation in affecting cognitive impairment in psychiatric disorders: a review
Eur Arch Psychiatry Clin Neurosci. 2023 Sep 8. doi: 10.1007/s00406-023-01687-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTranscranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation method that, through its manipulation of endogenous oscillations, can affect cognition in healthy adults. Given the fact that both endogenous oscillations and cognition are impaired in various psychiatric diagnoses, tACS might represent a suitable intervention. We conducted a search of Pubmed and Web of Science databases and reviewed 27 studies where tACS is used in psychiatric diagnoses and cognition change is evaluated. TACS i...
