Diagnostic Considerations in Major Depressive Disorder With Psychotic Features
Investigators sought to determine the prevalence of psychotic features in patients with major depressive disorder.
Major Depressive Disorder
Efficacy of Bupropion, Escitalopram for Internet Gaming Disorder in MDD
Bupropion had a greater effect on reducing impulsivity and attention symptoms than escitalopram.
Depressive Episode Relapse Similar in Antidepressant Tx vs Placebo
Patients with MDD who initially respond to antidepressant medications have a 30% to 50% chance of relapse within a year of initiating treatment.
Cytokine Levels May Predict SSRI Response in Children and Adolescents
Elevated cytokine levels could help to identify children who are unlikely to respond to treatment with fluoxetine.
Executive Dysfunction in Idiopathic Depression vs Epilepsy-associated Depression
Individuals suffering from depression, as well as persons diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy, present with dysfunction across several cognitive domains.
Cigarette Smoking Predicts Development of Depression
Cigarette smoking prevalence among persons with severe mental illness is approximately 3 times greater than the rate observed in the general population.
The Comorbidity of Depression in Type 2 Diabetes
It has been reported previously that symptoms of depression are associated with nonadherence to diabetes self-care.
Relationship Between Depression and Stable Angina Outcomes
The strongest predictor of depression in patients with chronic stable angina was an episode of depression within the past 10 years.
Depressive Symptoms Linked to Shorter Survival With Lung Cancer
Depression symptoms at baseline correlated with increased mortality among participants with early- but not late-stage disease.
Gene Sets Altered Across Brain Regions in Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder & MDD
Until now, the majority of postmortem research that has examined functionally related gene sets has been limited to a single disorder or region of the brain.
