Perfectionistic Self-Presentation and Psychopathology: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Clin Psychol Psychother. 2024 Mar-Apr;31(2):e2966. doi: 10.1002/cpp.2966.ABSTRACTDecades of research implicate perfectionism as a risk factor for psychopathology. Most research has focused on trait perfectionism (i.e., needing to be perfect), but there is a growing focus on perfectionistic self-presentation (PSP) (i.e., the need to seem perfect). The current article reports the results of a meta-analysis of previous research on the facets of PSP and psychopathology outcomes (either clinical diagnoses of psychiatric disorders or symptoms of these disorders). A systematic literature search retrieved 30 relevant studies (37 s...

Psychological Pain as a Risk Factor for Suicidal Ideation: An Ecological Momentary Assessment Study on Inpatients With Depression With and Without Comorbid Borderline Personality Disorder
Conclusions: In psychiatric inpatients with depression, besides depression and hopelessness, PP represents an independent risk factor for SI, varying within a timescale of days. Depressive patients with BPD may experience more prominent and temporally unstable PP, likely underlying their higher vulnerability to SI.PMID:38602493 | DOI:10.4088/JCP.23m14926 (Source: Journal of Clinical Psychiatry)

A Unique Delusion with Depression in Early Stage of Neurocognitive Disorder Due to Vascular Disease: Considerations for Clinicians
Psychopharmacol Bull. 2024 Apr 4;54(2):28-33.ABSTRACTAs global aging becomes more prominent, neurocognitive disorders (NCD) incidence has increased. Patients with NCD usually have an impairment in one or more cognitive domains, such as attention, planning, inhibition, learning, memory, language, visual perception, and spatial or social skills. Studies indicate that 50-80% of these adults will develop neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS), such as apathy, depression, anxiety, disinhibition, delusions, hallucinations, and aberrant motor behavior. The progression of NCD and subsequent NPS requires tremendous care from trained medic...

Melanin-concentrating hormone receptor 1 is discarded by exosomes after internalization
In this study, we report the extracellular secretion of MCHR1 via exosomes. The recruitment of MCHR1 to exosomes occurs subsequent to its internalization, which is induced by stimulation with the ligand MCH. Although a highly glycosylated form of MCHR1, potentially representing a mature form, is selectively recruited to exosomes, the MCHR1 transferred into other cells does not exhibit functionality. The truncation of MCHR1 at the C-terminus not only impairs its response to MCH but also hinders its recruitment to exosomes. These findings imply that functional MCHR1 could be secreted extracellularly via exosomes, a process t...

Impact of statutory revisions to family-petitioned civil commitment in South Korea
CONCLUSION: The findings were based on cross-sectional correlational data and should not be viewed as conclusive evidence that the 2016 statutory revision is ineffective in preventing family-petitioned civil commitment in cases where dangerousness is not apparent. Nevertheless, these findings encourage further empirical studies that illuminate the etiology of procedural justice in civil commitments petitioned by family members and that assess factors and contexts that promote the consideration of least coercive treatments, rather than resorting to involuntary hospitalization when psychiatric emergencies arise.PMID:38603975...

The cognitive effects of stopping and starting antipsychotics on changes in cognitive functioning
CONCLUSION: The results suggest that prescribers should consider discontinuance of an antipsychotic if the patient is reporting cognitive problems and their symptoms are manageable off the medications. The findings hope to spark future research into the effects of antipsychotic use on biomarkers of progressive dementias (e.g. Alzheimer's disease).PMID:38602221 | DOI:10.1080/13607863.2024.2336209 (Source: Aging and Mental Health)

National Estimates of Incremental Work Absenteeism Costs Associated With Adult Children of Parents With Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias

From means to meaning in the study of sex/gender differences and similarities
Front Neuroendocrinol. 2024 Apr 9;73:101133. doi: 10.1016/j.yfrne.2024.101133. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe incorporation of sex and gender (S/G) related factors is commonly acknowledged as a necessary step to advance towards more personalized diagnoses and treatments for somatic, psychiatric, and neurological diseases. Until now, most attempts to integrate S/G-related factors have been reduced to identifying average differences between females and males in behavioral/ biological variables. The present commentary questions this traditional approach by highlighting three main sets of limitations: 1) Issues stemming fro...

NMDAR (2C) deletion in astrocytes relieved LPS-induced neuroinflammation and depression
Int Immunopharmacol. 2024 Apr 10;132:111964. doi: 10.1016/j.intimp.2024.111964. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe link between neuroinflammation and depression is a subject of growing interest in neuroscience and psychiatry; meanwhile, the precise mechanisms are still being unrevealed. However, glial cell activation, together with cytokine level elevation, suggests a connection between neuroinflammation and the development or exacerbation of depression. Glial cells (astrocytes) communicate with neurons via their extracellular neurotransmitter receptors, including glutamate receptors NMDARs. However, these receptor roles ar...

Psychometric properties of the Hungarian version of the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale - Short Version (IUS-12)
CONCLUSION: Based on the results, the Hungarian version of the BTS-12 is a valid and reliable measurement tool. However, before its use in a Hungarian sample, its psychometric properties need to be confirmed by further studies on a large sample. In the future, the questionnaire will be useful in measuring intolerance of uncertainty and may be useful in identifying susceptibility to anxiety disorders.PMID:38603549 (Source: Neuropsychopharmacologia Hungarica)

The relationship between mentalizing, attachment and perceived stress
CONCLUSIONS: Our results - taking our limitations into account - suggest that hypomentalization has a mediational effect on the relationship between attachment anxiety and perceived stress, while attachment avoidance is directly related to perceived stress. Our results have important practical implications for prevention and intervention.PMID:38603550 (Source: Neuropsychopharmacologia Hungarica)

The role of personal strengths in the relationship between adult attention-de ficit/hyperactivity symptoms and perceived stress
DISCUSSION: Our results suggest that ADHD symptoms may be associated with a deficit in personal strengths, which may contribute to negative outcomes. Psychotherapeutic interventions that support the recognition, cultivation and mobilization of strengths may be useful in the treatment of adults diagnosed with ADHD.PMID:38603551 (Source: Neuropsychopharmacologia Hungarica)

Summary Examining the relationship between mentalisation, attachment, and resilience in an adult sample
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest - considering the limitations of our research - that attachment is related to resilience through mentalisation, and that mentalisation itself is a strong predictor of resilience. The practical implication of our results is that the use of mentalisation-based methods may be worth considering for individuals with lower levels of resilience.PMID:38603552 (Source: Neuropsychopharmacologia Hungarica)
