Long-term treatment response to continuous cycling course in bipolar disorders: A meta-analysis.
In a pioneering work, Koukopoulos et al. (1980) identified four patterns of course in bipolar disorders (BD): 1) manic –depression-free interval (MDI; in which the cycle starts with (hypo)mania, followed by depression and then by a free interval); 2) depression–mania- free interval (DMI; in which the cycle starts with depression, followed by (hypo)mania, and then by a free interval); 3) continuous cycling course (CCC), with depressive and (hypo)manic episodes alternating without a real free interval (i.e., an interval of at least one month, without significant mood symptoms); and 4) irregular course of cycle sequence (...

OpenSIMPLe: A real-world implementation feasibility study of a smartphone-based psychoeducation programme for bipolar disorder
THE HIGH PREVALENCE OF MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS IN COMPARISON TO THE LIMITED AVAILABILITY OF TRADITIONAL HEALTHCARE RESOURCES HAS LED TO AN INCREASING INTEREST IN NEW COST-EFFECTIVE METHODS WHICH COULD MEET THIS GROWING DEMAND AND BURDEN (KESSLER ET AL., 2007; WHITEFORD ET AL., 2013). GIVEN THEIR GROWING, UBIQUITOUS AND BROAD ACCESSIBILITY, INTERNET-BASED PLATFORMS (IBP) HAVE FREQUENTLY BEEN PROPOSED AS A POTENTIAL SOLUTION FOR REACHING WIDER POPULATIONS AND INCREASING LARGE-SCALE AVAILABILITY OF HEALTH SERVICES, WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY REDUCING COSTS.

Depressive mood and circadian rhythms disturbances as outcomes of seasonal affective disorder treatment: A systematic review
Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a recurrent illness affecting around 5% of the population at temperate latitudes (Rosenthal et al., 1984; Lewy et al., 2009). Most frequently, patients experience depressive symptoms during fall and winter, with full remission to normal mood or switch into hypo/mania during spring and summer (Lam et al., 1995; Zauderer and Ganzer, 2015). This predominant manifestation of SAD is called win ter depression (Magnusson and Boivin, 2003). (Source: Journal of Affective Disorders)

Proximally-Occurring Life Events and the First Transition from Suicidal Ideation to Suicide Attempt in Adolescents
Suicide is currently the third leading cause of death in U.S. adolescents (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, 2017). Risk for death by suicide is often conceptualized as occurring on a continuum of severity from passive death wishes to suicidal ideation, planning, and attempt, with a prior suicide attempt being the most robust risk factor for suicide death (Ribeiro et al., 2016). Because only approximately one-third of adolescents who have thought about suicide will progress to a suicide attempt, increasing attention has been paid to identifying factor...

Toward a Very Brief Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire
Changes in the nine criterion symptoms of major depressive disorder (MDD) are the primary metric to gauge the efficacy of antidepressant medications and other treatments. Symptomatic remission remains the preferred outcome of acute-phase treatment (Bauer et al., 2013; Cleare et al., 2015; Gelenberg et al., 2010; Kennedy et al., 2016; Rush et al., 2006b) (because remission is associated with a better long-term prognosis (lower risk of relapse) (Rush et al., 2006c) and better day-to-day function (Bauer et al., 2013; Miller et al., 1998; Trivedi et al., 2009) than either response (>50% reduction from baseline) without remissi...

Prevalence, treatment, and the correlates of common mental disorders in the mid 2010 ′s in Japan: The results of the world mental health Japan 2nd survey
Mental disorders have been shown to be one of the main causes of nonfatal burden, with the percentage of the number of years lived with disability increasing from 2005 to 2015 (GBD 2015 DALYs and HALE Collaborators, 2016; GBD 2015 Disease and Injury Incidence and Prevalence Collaborators, 2016). However, the need for the treatment of mental disorders is still unmet (Thornicroft et al., 2017; Wang et al., 2007). The World Health Organization (WHO) World Mental Health (WMH) Survey Consortium and other previous studies have reported a high prevalence of mental disorders worldwide, although they found a comparatively low pr...

Gender-specific study of recurrent suicide attempts in outpatients with multiple substance use disorders
Suicide is a leading cause of premature death worldwide (World Health Organization, 2015). Psychiatric disorders have consistently been involved in increasing the risk for suicide attempts (SA) (World Health Organization, 2015), especially SUDs (Darvishi et al., 2015; Poorolajal et al., 2016), including tobacco use disorder (Poorolajal and Darvishi, 2016). Characterizing the different suicidal phenotypes, which encompass a broad range of symptoms, and their specific risk factors is of utmost relevance for both clinical (Tiet et al., 2006) and research purposes (Oquendo, 2016).

Applications of machine learning algorithms to predict therapeutic outcomes in depression: a meta-analysis and systematic review
The functional and psychosocial deficits associated with depression are pervasive, often chronic, progressive, and highly disabling (Vigo et al., 2016). The Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression (STAR*D) trial reported that patients who remit with the first trial of an antidepressant experience significant reductions in work-related disability; in contrast, patients who remit with subsequent treatment trials or strateg ies exhibit residual functional impairments (Trivedi et al., 2013).

Affective instability in those with and without mental disorders: a case control study
Affective Instability (AI) is a transdiagnostic symptom (Broome et al., 2015b; Henry et al., 2001b). It has been defined as rapid oscillations of intense affect, with difficulty regulating these or their behavioural consequences (Marwaha, 2013). Multiple strands of evidence have associated AI with suicidal thinking (Palmier-Claus et al., 2012; Yen et al., 2004 ), health service use (Marwaha et al., 2013c), new onset of depression (Marwaha et al., 2015), psychotic symptoms (Marwaha et al., 2013a), onset of bipolar disorder and increasing time to recovery (Howes et al., 2011; Stange et al., 2016).

Narcissistic Traits and Self-Esteem in Children: Results from a Community and a Clinical Sample of Patients with Oppositional Defiant Disorder
Narcissism, in its extreme form, is a personality disorder, characterized by an exaggerated sense of self-importance and uniqueness, an unreasonable sense of entitlement, a craving for admiration and attention, exploitative tendencies toward other people, and arrogance (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). However, recent research has focused on narcissism as a dimensional trait. One of the most influential models of interpreting narcissism as a personality dimension is the dynamic self-regulatory processing model (Morf and Rhodewalt, 2001).

Capacity to Provide Informed Consent among Adults with Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is a major psychiatric disorder that is defined by the occurrence of mania that typically also experiences episodes of depression (Fountoulakis et al, 2007). In the United States, the lifetime prevalence estimate of bipolar I disorder is 1.1% (Kleinman et al, 2003), with an estimated annual cost of $45 billion (Merikangas et al, 2007). Several studies have noted episode-related decrements in cognitive function (Denicoff et al, 1999), which may affect the ability of these patients to provide informed consent to participate in research.

Effects of maternal anxiety and depression on fetal neuro-development
Maternal stress, anxiety and depression have been shown to directly affect fetal development, such as increasing arousal and influencing cortical processes (Kinsella& Monk, 2009). Specifically, maternal prenatal anxiety has been related to fetal movements (Kaitz, Mankuta, Rokem& Faraone, 2016) and to increased postnatal risk for neuro developmental disorders (Kinsella& Monk, 2009; Glover, 2011; 2015; Sheridan, et al 2008, 2010). Some research indicates that both maternal anxiety and depression are co-morbid and one might influence the other. (Source: Journal of Affective Disorders)

The Effect of Pharmacogenomic Testing on Response and Remission Rates in the Acute Treatment of Major Depressive Disorder: A Meta-Analysis
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a highly prevalent and disabling mental illness affecting more than 350 million people globally as the leading cause of disability worldwide (WHO, 2017). Depression treatment guidelines recommend the use of evidence-based antidepressants in the acute treatment of moderate to severe depression (Kennedy et al., 2016; McIntyre, 2015). Evidence-based treatments are identified through randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the clinical efficacy, safety and tolerability of new treatments.

Relationship of depression, chronic disease, self-rated health, and gender with health care utilization among community-living elderly
Depression and chronic illness are very common health conditions in older people (Kok and Reynolds, 2017; Wolff et al., 2002). They are strongly correlated with each other (Fiske et al., 2009) and cause substantial functional impairment and other detrimental effects on the quality of life of those affected (Blazer, 2003; Sprangers et al., 2000). Both conditions also create a significant socioeconomic burden , which is partially mediated by an increase in physician visits and frequency and duration of hospitalizations among the elderly (Katon et al., 2003; Murray et al., 2012).
