Resilience linked to personality dimensions, alexithymia and affective symptoms in motor functional neurological disorders
Reduced resilience, a construct associated with maladaptive stress coping and a predisposing vulnerability for Functional Neurological Disorders (FND), has been under-studied compared to other neuropsychiatric factors in FND. This prospective case-control study investigated self-reported resilience in patients with FND compared to controls and examined relationships between resilience and affective symptoms, personality traits, alexithymia, health status and adverse life event burden.

Beliefs about medicines are regarded as influencing factors on medication adherence [1]. Adherence levels in patients with chronic pulmonary diseases are low [2,3]. A better understanding of the predictive role of patients' beliefs about medicines for adherence might be a crucial step to improve medication adherence. (Source: Journal of Psychosomatic Research)

The role of emotion regulation in chronic pain: A systematic literature review
Emotion regulation (ER) includes a set of cognitive and attentional processes used to change or maintain emotional state. A small but growing body of research suggests that maladaptive ER might be a risk factor for the development of chronic pain. This review aims to summarize existing literature on the association between ER and chronic pain, and to determine whether the construct of ER may further enhance our understanding of the risk and protective factors that may contribute to the onset and maintenance of chronic pain.

Duration of untreated illness in patients with somatoform disorders
A long duration of untreated mental illness (DUI) has been found to be associated with negative long-term outcomes. Although somatic symptom and related disorders are frequent in the general population and in primary care, data regarding the DUI of these disorders is scarce. The aim of this study was to investigate the DUI in patients with somatoform disorders. (Source: Journal of Psychosomatic Research)

Online social network response to studies on antidepressant use in pregnancy
About 8% of U.S women are prescribed antidepressant medications around the time of pregnancy. Decisions about medication use in pregnancy can be swayed by the opinion of family, friends and online media, sometimes beyond the advice offered by healthcare providers. Exploration of the online social network response to research on antidepressant use in pregnancy could provide insight about how to optimize decision-making in this complex area.
