Sequential risk of depression in children born prematurely: A nationwide population- based analysis
Live-born infants who are delivered before 37 weeks from the first day of the last menstrual period are termed premature. Due to advancements in assisted reproductive technology and obstetric and neonatal medical care, preterm birth rates have increased while preterm mortality rates have declined (Doyle,  2006). Several studies have shown that improved survival rates are accompanied by increased rates of complications related to preterm birth, such as medical and neurodevelopmental disabilities. A growing body of evidence suggests that the complications associated with preterm birth are likely the result of insufficient g...

Dysfunctional Attitudes or Extreme Response Style as Predictors of Depressive Relapse and Recurrence after Mobile Cognitive Therapy for Recurrent Depression
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is predicted to be one of the lead causes of burden by 2030 (Mathers  and Loncar, 2006). The high burden attributable to depression is not only due to acute episodes of the disorder, but also due to its chronic nature. Individuals with a history of MDD have a high risk of relapse or recurrence and this risk increases with each subsequent episode (Bockting, Hollon, Jarrett, Kuyken,& Dobson, 2015). Therefore, identifying variables that place individuals at risk for both acute and recurrent episodes is essential. (Source: Journal of Affective Disorders)

The Role of Substance Use, Smoking, and Inflammation in Risk for Suicidal Behavior
Alcohol and substance use disorders are important risk factors for suicidal behavior (Darvishi et  al., 2015; Poorolajal et al., 2015; Schneider, 2009). However, the role of individual substances as proximal risk factors for suicidal behavior and the mechanisms through which substance use affect risk are not entirely clear.

GWAS and Systems Biology Analysis of Depressive Symptoms among Smokers from the COPDGene Cohort
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is the most common psychiatric disorder in the United States, with an estimated prevalence of 17% (Kessler  et al., 2005). Depression is likely a heterogenous disorder with multiple synergetic effects from many genetic variants; however, a single genetic susceptibility factor with a large effect size has not been found. Though twin studies such as the one led by Kendler et al. (2006) support a genet ic predisposition influencing depression, until recently, depression genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have not shown genome-wide significance in almost all studies reported (Flint and...

Association of oral contraceptive use with suicidal behavior among representative Korean population: Results from Korea National Health & Nutrition Examination Survey (2007-2016)
Suicide is a major public health problem that has been and remains large concern. Globally, suicide is the leading cause of overall death and the second-leading cause of death for those aged 15-29.(World-Health-Organization,  2011) and based on current trends, it is estimated that 1.53 million people will die from suicide in 2020.(Bertolote and Fleischmann, 2002) In terms of productivity loss, the Global Burden of Disease Mortality and Causes of Death Collaborators have reported that suicide caused approximately 34 mil lion years of life lost (YLL).(GBD-Risk-Factors-Collaborators et al., 2015) Among developed countries,...

The authors regret that, in the methods section, the original description of the network estimation procedure should be emended to reflect that the glasso procedure was not used. Instead of stating: ``Edges between symptom nodes reflected partial correlation coefficients as estimated by the glasso procedure.'', the sentence should read: ``Edges between symptom nodes reflected partial correlation coefficients.''

Do Comorbid Social and Other Anxiety Disorders Predict Outcomes during and after Cognitive Therapy for Depression?
Anxiety disorders are often comorbid with major depressive disorder (MDD; Kessler et al., 2005; Kessler et al., 2015). Relations of comorbid anxiety disorders with MDD treatment outcomes are incompletely understood, although augmenting or sequencing medications or psychotherapies in varying combinations have been suggested for particular comorbid disorders (e.g., Coplan et al., 2015; Schoevers et al., 2008). The current study clarified short- and longer-term prognoses of outpatients who received cognitive therapy (CT) for recurrent MDD, comparing patients with social, other, or no comorbid anxiety disorders (Jarrett& Thase...

brain neurokinin-1 receptor availability in never-medicated patients with major depression – a pilot study
Neurotransmitter substance P (SP) acts as general neuromodulator that maintains brain homeostasis and regulates stress responses, emesis, pain, mood, and anxiety. The majority of these actions are transmitted via the neurokinin-1 receptor (NK1R) subtype that has also emerged as a target for treatment of affective disorders (Chandra et al., 2010; Gobbi and Blier, 2005; Hesketh et al., 2003; Kramer et al., 1998; McCabe et al., 2009; Rupniak et al., 2000; Santarelli et al., 2001; Teixeira et al., 2004).

Testosterone is related to GABA+ levels in the posterior-cingulate in unmedicated depressed women during reproductive life.
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a chronic illness that is approximately twice as common in women as in men. The complexity of this disorder notwithstanding, biological factors are suggested as triggers of a depressive episode in women (Albert,  2015). Similarly, anxiety is highly prevalent in women (Remes et al., 2016), and frequently MDD and anxiety are comorbid, suggesting common pathophysiological elements (Wichers et al., 2009). Gender differences in the presentation of MDD and anxiety disorders have been attributed to hormonal f luctuations, as is observed in studies that explore depressive and anxiety symptom...

Sedentary Behaviour and Risk of Anxiety: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Lifestyle is an important and often underestimated risk factor for psychopathologies (Walsh,  2011). Indeed, research syntheses provide compelling evidence that low levels of physical activity, poor diet, and tobacco use are associated with an increased risk of anxiety and depressive disorders (Lai et al., 2013; Liu et al., 2016; Rebar et al., 2015; Schuch et al., 2016, 2018; Taylor et  al., 2014). Until recently, the term sedentary behaviour had often been used to describe low levels of physical activity, but is now recognized as a distinct behaviour category that incorporates activities with low energy expenditure....
