Association between mental health-related stigma and active help-seeking: systematic review and meta-analysis [Review articles]

The virtues of virtual reality in exposure therapy [EDITORIALS]
Virtual reality can be more effective and less burdensome than real-life exposure. Optimal virtual reality delivery should incorporate in situ direct dialogues with a therapist, discourage safety behaviours, allow for a mismatch between virtual and real exposure tasks, and encourage self-directed real-life practice between and beyond virtual reality sessions.

Start as you mean to carry on: the emerging evidence base for the treatment of conflict-related mental health difficulties in children and adolescents [EDITORIALS]
In this editorial, we discuss Morina and colleagues' meta-analysis of psychological therapies for youth with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression following conflict. Recent years have seen significantly more randomised controlled trial evidence addressing the needs of this population. More work is needed to understand post-traumatic depression, dissemination, timing of intervention and whether trauma-focused interventions are essential. (Source: The British Journal of Psychiatry)
