Using latent class analysis to investigate enduring effects of intersectional social disadvantage on long-term vocational and financial outcomes in the 20-year prospective Chicago Longitudinal Study
CONCLUSIONS: Our analyses add to a growing literature on the impact of multiple forms of social disadvantage on long-term functional trajectories, underscoring the importance of proactive attention to sociostructural disadvantage early in treatment, and the development and evaluation of interventions designed to mitigate ongoing social stratification.PMID:38523254 | DOI:10.1017/S0033291724000588 (Source: Psychological Medicine)

Interventions targeting social determinants of mental disorders and the Sustainable Development Goals: a systematic review of reviews
Psychol Med. 2024 Mar 25:1-25. doi: 10.1017/S0033291724000333. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGlobally, mental disorders account for almost 20% of disease burden and there is growing evidence that mental disorders are socially determined. Tackling the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), which address social determinants of mental disorders, may be an effective way to reduce the global burden of mental disorders. We conducted a systematic review of reviews to examine the evidence base for interventions that map onto the UN SDGs and seek to improve mental health through targeting known social determinants ...

Dynamic aberrances of substantia nigra-relevant coactivation patterns in first-episode treatment-na ïve patients with schizophrenia
CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that neuroregulatory dysfunction in dopaminergic pathways involving SN potentially mediates aberrant time-varying functional reorganizations in schizophrenia. This finding enriches the dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia from the perspective of brain dynamics.PMID:38523252 | DOI:10.1017/S0033291724000655 (Source: Psychological Medicine)

Childhood adversities characterize the heterogeneity in the brain pattern of individuals during neurodevelopment
CONCLUSION: Adversities (particularly abuse) maximally influence the DMN during neurodevelopment and lead to the failure in the development of a coherent DMN system. While DMN's integrity is preserved in typical development, the age-dependent variability in atypically developing individuals is contrasting. The flexibility of DMN might be a compensatory mechanism to protect an individual in an abusive environment. However, such adaptability might deprive the neural system of the faculties of normal functioning and may incur long-term effects on the psyche.PMID:38509831 | DOI:10.1017/S0033291724000710 (Source: Psychological Medicine)

Do metacognitive therapies for schizophrenia-spectrum disorders work? A meta-analytic investigation

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRecent reviews and meta-analyses of metacognitive therapy for schizophrenia-spectrum disorder (SSD) have included uncontrolled studies, single-session interventions, and/or analyses limited to a single form of metacognitive therapy. We sought to evaluate the efficacy of metacognitive therapies more broadly based on controlled trials (CT) of sustained treatments. We conducted a pre-registered meta-analysis of controlled trials that investigated the effects of meta-cognitive therapies on primary positive symptom outcomes, and secondar...

A subtype of schizophrenia patients with altered methylation level of genes related to immune cell activity
CONCLUSIONS: In summary, this study demonstrated a subtype of schizophrenia patients across both FES and LTS cohorts, defined by widespread alterations in methylation profile of genes related to immune function and distinguishing clinical features. This finding illustrates the promise of novel treatment strategies targeting immune dysregulation for a subpopulation of schizophrenia patients.PMID:38505948 | DOI:10.1017/S0033291724000667 (Source: Psychological Medicine)
