Understanding suicide risk within the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) framework: A meta ‐analytic review
ConclusionsThis study demonstrated that the RDoC framework provides a novel and promising approach to suicide research; however, relatively few studies of suicidal behavior fit within this framework. Future studies must go beyond the “usual suspects” of suicide risk factors (e.g., mental disorders, sociodemographics) to understand the processes that combine to lead to this deadly outcome.

A decline in depression treatment following FDA antidepressant warnings largely explains racial/ethnic disparities in prescription fills
ConclusionsAntidepressant prescription fills declined most postwarning for White youth, suggesting that risk information may have diffused less rapidly to prescribers or caregivers of minorities. Decreases in depression treatment visits help to explain the declines in antidepressant prescribing and were largest for White youth. An increase in incident fluoxetine fills, the only medication indicated for pediatric depression at the time, suggests that the warning may have shifted prescribing practices.

The effect of perinatal depression treatment for mothers on parenting and child development: A systematic review
Abstract
Antenatal and postpartum depression are very common and have significant consequences for mothers and their children. This review examines which antenatal depression (AD) and postpartum depression (PPD) treatment interventions are most efficacious in improving parenting and/or child development. CINAHL, Scopus, Cochrane Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Controlled Trials, Medline (OVID), Embase (OVID), PsychINFO, PsycARTICLES, AMED, and reference lists were searched. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi‐experimental studies assessing the effect of AD, PPD, or both treatment interventions on parenting and/or ...

The impact of enhancing perceived self ‐efficacy in torture survivors
ConclusionsThese findings provide initial evidence that promoting SE in tortured refugees can assist with managing distress from trauma reminders, and promoting greater distress tolerance. Enhancing perceived SE in tortured refugees may increase their capacity to tolerate distress during therapy, and may be a useful means to improve treatment response. (Source: Depression and Anxiety)

Endogenous oxytocin is associated with the experience of compassion and recalled upbringing in Borderline Personality Disorder
ConclusionOur results corroborate findings from previous studies reporting lower OT levels in patients with BPD. Moreover, peripheral OT seems to be linked with the tolerance of compassionate feelings and early experiences with caregivers. This is consistent with other findings that OT is an important mediator of the experience of emotional warmth from others. (Source: Depression and Anxiety)

Parenting mediates the impact of maternal depression on child internalizing symptoms
ConclusionsOur results suggest a bidirectional relationship between child and maternal internalizing psychopathology that is partially explained by depressed mothers’ greater use of psychological aggression toward their children. It is important to note that the size of these effects were small, suggesting that the relationship between parent and child psychopathology is likely additionally explained by factors not assessed in the current study. Nonetheless, these results have implications for prevention and intervention strategies targeting child anxiety and depression. (Source: Depression and Anxiety)

Proximal relationships between social support and PTSD symptom severity: A daily diary study of sexual assault survivors
ConclusionsRather than eroding in response to daily symptoms, social support might be sought out following increases in PTSD, and when received consistently, might reduce symptoms of PTSD in the short term. Interventions that increase college women's access to social support after sexual assault may thus be helpful in addressing PTSD. (Source: Depression and Anxiety)

Error ‐related brain activity and internalizing disorder symptom dimensions in depression and anxiety
ConclusionsTogether, these findings indicate that an enhanced ERN may not be specific to worry/apprehension and may extend to the IP fear dimension. The results also converge with a broader literature suggesting that fear‐based psychopathology is characterized by an exaggerated reactivity to threat and this objective, psychophysiological response tendency may distinguish fear disorders from distress.

The relationship between depression and chronotype: A longitudinal assessment during childhood and adolescence
ConclusionDepression, experienced earlier in life, predicts greater preference for eveningness, especially among postpubertal youth. In turn, later depression is predicted by evening preference. These findings suggest the reciprocal interplay between mood and biological rhythms, especially depression and chronotype, during adolescence. (Source: Depression and Anxiety)

Early childhood trajectories of separation anxiety: Bearing on mental health, academic achievement, and physical health from mid ‐childhood to preadolescence
ConclusionsHigh‐increasing separation anxiety in preschool maintains longitudinal relationships to independent health and academic outcomes, at least until preadolescence. This knowledge can inform the deployment of clinical resources at the earlier signs of the more impairing manifestations. (Source: Depression and Anxiety)

Nonremission and time to remission among remitters in major depressive disorder: Revisiting STAR*D
ConclusionPoor treatment adherence and poor physical health appear to be common risk factors for both nonremission and longer time to remission, highlighting the importance of integrated care models that address both medical and mental healthcare needs and interventions aimed at improving treatment adherence.
