In this article, the authors use survey data from youth in three countries from the Caribbean to provide an evidence-based model of the association of climate distress and generalized anxiety and well-being more broadly.
Erritzoe et al. review the current evidence from neuroimaging studies on psychedelics and discuss how these data advance our understanding of their action.
Authors analyze the associations of emergency admissions related to mental health disorders with short-term temperature changes before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, providing evidence for increased risks for depression-related visits associated with elevated temperatures during the pandemic.
Using a longitudinal dataset, the authors investigated the effects of maternal positive mental health during pregnancy on offspring’s structural brain morphology and functional brain connectivity.
In this paper, the authors present findings demonstrating that variations of the MET gene are associated with specific structural differences in key language regions in individuals with schizophrenia.
Neurocognitive impairment in youth with ADHD, anorexia, first onset psychosis and functional neurological disorder is transdiagnostic and can be detected as early as childhood or adolescence.
The COVID-19 pandemic caused unprecedented developmental disruptions to children and young people. Here we address its long-term impact on children and young people, relay their views on important issues for mental health in the context of the pandemic and provide recommendations for future research priorities.
Delli Colli and colleagues describe a mathematical model to predict plasticity, and thus susceptibility to change mood according to contextual factors, based on a large sample from the STAR*D dataset.
In this Analysis, authors survey the current literature landscape COVID-19-related racism and mental health outcomes experienced by Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) in the US and provide stakeholder input on addressing and mitigating the effects discrimination.
Using a large multi-center neuroimaging dataset, Fu, Antoniades et al. reveal that major depressive disorder is characterized by two neuroanatomical dimensions exhibiting distinct treatment response to placebo and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor medications.
Looking closely at the papers published in Nature Mental Health, patterns and connections among topics become apparent. In the January 2024 issue, a narrative theme emerges that encourages inclusivity in mental health research through transdiagnostic approaches, innovative methodology and representation across the lifespan.
A deficit-oriented approach to describing living with schizophrenia obscures the challenges affected individuals face in being understood by others. Though symptoms of the illness complicate the development of a robust narrative self, patients still seek meaningful dialogue, and provider attitudes and practices can foster this narrative voice.
The study performed on a large, heterogeneous and multisite sample of youth with anxiety disorders reveals that only modest classification performances can be realistically achieved with machine learning using neuroanatomical data.
In this Perspective the authors survey the state of computerized cognitive training interventions for mental health and identify some of the challenges and opportunities in the scale-up of certain interventions.
The authors interrogate patterns of symptom-linked resting-state functional connectivity measured with electroencephalography with machine learning techniques to identify two dimensions associated with specific regions, the left angular gyrus and the right middle temporal gyrus and social and communication deficits, and the right inferior parietal lobe with restricted and repetitive disorders, which may serve as biomarkers in autism.
In this Review, the authors outline the current evidence on a precision medicine approach to Alzheimer’s disease risk reduction and propose how to integrate personalized strategies into routine clinical practice.
This longitudinal study of young people with parents with bipolar disorder assessed genetic and symptomatic risks associated with brain surface features, identifying reduced baseline frontotemporal cortical thickness in individuals who developed mood disorders at follow-up.
The authors conducted a systematic review and individual participant data meta-analysis of 14 studies to evaluate psychological interventions for depression relapse prevention.
Using a multivariate approach in a sample from the UK Biobank, the authors examine the genetic relationships between measures of functional connectivity and psychiatric disorders.
