Conclusions(1) Activation in paralimbic, cingulate, and lateral prefrontal regions in response to angry faces is associated with transdiagnostic anxiety and depressive symptomatology. (2) Anxiety and depressive symptoms may exert opposing influences on lateral prefrontal activation.

Digital technology and clinical decision making in depression treatment: Current findings and future opportunities
Discussions of these opportunities are organized around three established movements designed to enhance clinical decision making for depression treatment, including measurement‐based care, integrated care, and personalized medicine. Research, design, and implementation efforts may support clinical decision making for depression by (1) improving tools to incorporate depression symptom data into existing electronic health record systems, (2) enhancing measurement of treatment fidelity and treatment processes, (3) harnessing smartphone and biosensor data to inform clinical decision making, (4) enhancing tools that support c...

Meta ‐analysis of interventions for posttraumatic stress disorder and depression in adult survivors of mass violence in low‐ and middle‐income countries
ConclusionsOur findings suggest that psychological interventions can effectively reduce symptoms of PTSD and depression in LMICs. Future research needs to focus on cost‐effective interventions that are likely to be disseminated to the large numbers of war survivors in LMICs. (Source: Depression and Anxiety)
