Does the presence of multiple sclerosis impact on symptom profile in depressed patients?
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is common in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) but may remain unrecognized because of overlapping symptoms and different presentation due to its specific MS-related neurobiological aetiology. We aimed to investigate the clinical profile of MDD in MS. (Source: Journal of Psychosomatic Research)

Thus, the aim of this study was to examine the prevalence and risk factors of excessive daytime sleepiness in a large sample of insomnia sufferers. (Source: Journal of Psychosomatic Research)

Changes in Allostatic Load during workplace reorganization
Allostatic Load (AL) represents the strain on the body produced by repeated physiologic or allostatic responses activated during stressful situations.

The aim of this longitudinal study is to investigate changes in AL during workplace reorganization that has been shown to cause impaired psychosocial work environment. Moreover, we aim to investigate the association between changes in AL and changes in psychosocial work environment (job strain, effort-reward imbalance) and psych...
