Introduction. No studies systematically examined sex differences in neural mechanisms underlying depression and mania/hypomania risk.
Method. 80 females and 35 males,n=115(age21.6+/-1.90) were scanned using 3TfMRI during an implicit emotional-faces task. We examined neural activation to all emotional faces versus baseline, using an anatomical reg...
Importance
Mania/hypomania is the pathognomonic feature of bipolar disorder (BD). Established, reliable neural markers denoting mania/hypomania risk to help with early risk detection and diagnosis and guide the targeting of pathophysiologically informed interventions are lacking.
Objective
To identify patterns of neural responses associated with l...
Background: Examining neural patterns associated with mania/hypomania and depression can elucidate objective risk markers of Bipolar Disorder. We aimed to identify replicable neural markers relating to current and predicting future hypo/mania and depression.
Methods: Three independent samples of young adults, some experiencing psychological distre...
Background
Over the past few decades, neuroimaging research in Bipolar Disorder (BD) has identified neural differences underlying cognitive and emotional processing. However, substantial clinical and methodological heterogeneity present across neuroimaging experiments potentially hinders the identification of consistent neural biomarkers of BD. Thi...
Background: Negative and positive urgency (NU/PU), impulsive response tendencies to negative or positive affect, respectively, are transdiagnostic risk factors for BD. The present study assessed relationships between urgency-related neural activity during implicit facial emotion-processing and hypo/mania.
Methods: A transdiagnostic cohort n=109 ad...
Bipolar disorder (BD) is a debilitating condition manifested during late adolescence through early adulthood and marked by difficulty regulating emotions and emotion-triggered impulsivity, which is prevalent during hypo/manic and mixed episodes and persists during inter-episode periods. Alterations to medial-lateral prefrontal cortical and subcorti...
Objective:
Over the last 10 years, there has been a dramatic increase in published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of brief mindfulness training (from single-session inductions to multisession interventions lasting up to 2 weeks), with some preliminary indications that these training programs may improve mental health outcomes, such as negativ...
Skin picking disorder (SPD) is a newly recognized psychiatric disorder in Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition. A systematic review was conducted to assess the efficacy of pharmacological and behavioral interventions for SPD. Electronic databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or uncontrolled t...
To examine long-term outcome in children with trichotillomania.
We conducted follow-up clinical assessments an average of 2.8 ± 0.8 years after baseline evaluation in 30 of 39 children who previously participated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) for pediatric trichotillomania. Our primary outcome was...
