Previous prospective findings of elevated risk of depression following exposure to stressful work in terms of effort-reward imbalance (ERI) were based on a single exposure measurement. With this study, we set out to analyse longitudinal associations of single and twofold exposure measurement with depression among middle-aged employees.

Many young people with first episode psychosis (FEP) experience challenges in key areas of social inclusion, including housing, finances, employment or education, and social relationships. However, there is diversity in these challenges, and it is unclear how social inclusion relates to potentially modifiable treatment factors such as social cognition. Here we aimed to identify distinct social inclusion profiles using cluster analysis and examine their associations with social cognition and other clinical factors.

The death of a loved one is one of life's most ubiquitous events that can increase risk of mental health difficulties. Bereavement support is one of the few factors influencing grief-related mental health outcomes that can be modified after bereavement. This study sought to determine the proportion of bereaved people that want and receive support from different sources following a bereavement, and the bereavement and mental health-related factors associated with wanting and receiving bereavement support.

To examine patterns of recent service use to predict non-fatal suicidal events shortly following emergency department (ED) visits for mental health.

We examined courses of distress in US veterans before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of demographic and environmental characteristics on patterns of distress.

Improving population mental health will require greater investment in prevention, yet the level of community support for such efforts is unclear. This study aimed to examine the Australian public's attitudes about the prevention of mental health problems (e.g. depression and anxiety conditions).

Social determinants of health (SDoH) are increasingly recognized as fundamental determinants of mental and social well-being. However, the extent to which cumulative, domainal, and individual SDoH shape loneliness trajectories in middle and later life remains unclear.

Schizophrenia is a chronic psychiatric disorder marked by recurrent relapses, which significantly affect long-term clinical and functional outcomes. Early relapse following a first episode of psychosis is linked to increased illness chronicity, higher hospitalization rates, and greater psychosocial impairment. While antipsychotic treatment can reduce the risk of relapse, recurrence remains common. Identifying predictors of relapse is essential for optimizing treatment strategies; however, evidence from low-resource settings, such as Ethiopia, is limited. This study aimed to examine clinical outcomes and identify key predictors of relapse among individuals with first-episode schizophrenia in Ethiopia.

Mental health disparities in sexual minority adolescents have emerged as public health concerns worldwide. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of sexual minorities and its association with mental health problems among Chinese adolescents, and explored sex difference and the role of social support in the foregoing associations.

Although previous studies have considered loneliness as a mediator of the relationship between prodromal psychotic symptoms and impaired social functioning, there is lack of consensus regarding directionality of effects. We tested two competing hypotheses: Prodromal psychotic symptoms lead to deficits in social functioning via loneliness, vs. social functioning deficits lead to amplification of prodromal psychotic symptoms via loneliness.

It is purported that tertiary students are at greater risk for poor mental health outcomes in comparison with their non-tertiary peers and those not in education, although the evidence for this is mixed. This paper examines the mental health differences between tertiary and non-tertiary students, and those not enrolled in study, and then examines the changes in mental health in the years prior to, during and post the COVID-19 pandemic.

Relatively little epidemiological evidence on psychosis from diverse settings in the Global South exists, where many people with untreated psychosis seek help outside of formal health service settings. Here, we report a preliminary mapping study of formal and informal community resources within a catchment area in South Africa that established an infrastructure that could be used to detect a representative sample of individuals with untreated psychosis.

We assessed the association between number of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and depression among adults and explored the association by race/ethnicity.

Early intervention can improve mental health outcomes for people living with serious mental illness (SMI). Understanding what factors influence patients' health help-seeking decisions are important in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) where resources and outcomes are poor, particularly in slums, to help inform targeted intervention approaches.

Socioeconomic disadvantage can exacerbate psychosis outcomes, yet the long-term impact of financial deprivation remains underexplored. This study examined how financial deprivation at first-episode psychosis affects clinical, functional, and neurocognitive outcomes over four years.

Suicide rates are high among older adults, yet research on risk factors associated with suicide in this age group remain largely unexplored. This study aims to examine the relationship between suicide and sociodemographic characteristics among individuals aged 60 and older.

Stress-based theories suggest that sexual minority Hispanic migrants are at increased risk of adverse behavioral health outcomes. However, a body of descriptive evidence shows migrants exhibit improved health outcomes. Responding to calls for intersectional investigations of the 'healthy migrant effect,' we quantitatively examine whether sexual minority status moderates the relationship between English proficiency (a proxy for acculturation) and behavioral health.

Loneliness is an increasing public health concern among young adults. There is insufficient prior research on the association between loneliness and depressive disorder among students in higher education.

People living with mental ill-health experience social and economic disadvantages, which contribute to poor outcomes and limit effectiveness of treatments. Interventions to improve social and economic circumstances have been developed, however, little is known about whether these interventions are effective for the most marginalised and disadvantaged groups, and those most in need of support.

Hurricane María (2017) and the subsequent large-scale migration of Puerto Ricans serve as a stark example of how extreme weather events, population displacement, and equity concerns impact the health of vulnerable populations. The aim of the present study is to examine the classes of hurricane-related experiences among Puerto Rican "María migrants" and to assess the relationship between different types of hurricane exposure and posttraumatic stress.

The present study aimed to investigate the association between family face concern and help-seeking intention for therapist-guided and digital self-guided psychological interventions in four cultures, with possible mediation of interdependent stigma of help-seeking and attitudes towards seeking help.

To investigate the risk for adverse outcomes among offspring of parents with depression and with treatment-resistant depression (TRD), compared with matched offspring in the general population.

The 2010 Affordable Care Act (ACA) expanded access to depression screening and care. However, changes in unmet need for depression treatment and public mental health equity following ACA implementation remain understudied.

Many individuals experiencing early psychosis identify intimacy, romance, and sexuality as components of their subjective recovery, yet can face illness-related barriers in forming and maintaining close relationships. As limited research has examined these barriers in depth, the present study explored specific differences across aspects of intimacy, romance, and sexuality between individuals with and without psychotic disorders.

To examine the association between drinking patterns and subsequent antidepressant medication using register-linked data.

Increasing evidence supports the existence of an association between social relationships and cardio-cerebrovascular diseases (CCVDs). However, the magnitude of the association between various social relationship factors and CCVDs remains uncertain.

Previous studies document the clustering of major psychiatric disorders (MPDs) - schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety - among siblings. Few studies have, however, examined whether MPDs during childhood and early adulthood are associated with siblings' future socioeconomic status (SES).

This study examines whether adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD), alone and combined with physical activity (MedEx), is associated with cognitive decline and dementia incidence, with socioeconomic status (SES) as a potential modifier.

The present study investigated the longitudinal associations between social media use (SMU) in early adolescence (age 11) and psychiatric outcomes (age 17) via interpersonal distrust, later bedtime, and negative self-image (age 14) after controlling for prior mental health (age 7) and a range of confounders.
