Current evidence on the efficacy of mental health smartphone  apps for symptoms of depression and anxiety. A meta-analysis of 176 randomized controlled trials
World Psychiatry. 2024 Feb;23(1):139-149. doi: 10.1002/wps.21183.ABSTRACTThe mental health care available for depression and anxiety has recently undergone a major technological revolution, with growing interest towards the potential of smartphone apps as a scalable tool to treat these conditions. Since the last comprehensive meta-analysis in 2019 established positive yet variable effects of apps on depressive and anxiety symptoms, more than 100 new randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have been carried out. We conducted an updated meta-analysis with the objectives of providing more precise estimates of effects, quantifying...

The social determinants of mental health and disorder: evidence, prevention and recommendations
World Psychiatry. 2024 Feb;23(1):58-90. doi: 10.1002/wps.21160.ABSTRACTPeople exposed to more unfavourable social circumstances are more vulnerable to poor mental health over their life course, in ways that are often determined by structural factors which generate and perpetuate intergenerational cycles of disadvantage and poor health. Addressing these challenges is an imperative matter of social justice. In this paper we provide a roadmap to address the social determinants that cause mental ill health. Relying as far as possible on high-quality evidence, we first map out the literature that supports a causal link between ...

Outcomes in people with eating disorders: a transdiagnostic and disorder-specific systematic review, meta-analysis and multivariable meta-regression analysis
World Psychiatry. 2024 Feb;23(1):124-138. doi: 10.1002/wps.21182.ABSTRACTEating disorders (EDs) are known to be associated with high mortality and often chronic and severe course, but a recent comprehensive systematic review of their outcomes is currently missing. In the present systematic review and meta-analysis, we examined cohort studies and clinical trials published between 1980 and 2021 that reported, for DSM/ICD-defined EDs, overall ED outcomes (i.e., recovery, improvement and relapse, all-cause and ED-related hospitalization, and chronicity); the same outcomes related to purging, binge eating and body weight status...

Functional magnetic resonance imaging in schizophrenia: current evidence, methodological advances, limitations and future directions
World Psychiatry. 2024 Feb;23(1):26-51. doi: 10.1002/wps.21159.ABSTRACTFunctional neuroimaging emerged with great promise and has provided fundamental insights into the neurobiology of schizophrenia. However, it has faced challenges and criticisms, most notably a lack of clinical translation. This paper provides a comprehensive review and critical summary of the literature on functional neuroimaging, in particular functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), in schizophrenia. We begin by reviewing research on fMRI biomarkers in schizophrenia and the clinical high risk phase through a historical lens, moving from case-cont...
