The study aims to assess the effects of GACT and identify factors influencing depression recovery in patients with MDD in Korea.

Increases in white matter hyperintensities (WMH) observed on brain MRI are associated with the onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and cognitive decline. Recent hypotheses suggest that the impact of WMH on cognition may differ by their distance from the ventricular surface. This study aimed to investigate the effects of WMH volume and location, classified by distance from the ventricular surface, on cognitive function in individuals with AD.

This study aimed to evaluate the neurophysiological and cognitive effects of a tablet-based cognitive training program in cognitively unimpaired (CU) older adults, in order to explore its potential as an accessible intervention for promoting cognitive health in aging populations.

This study aimed to examine the predictive validity of the revised Suicide Crisis Inventory (SCI-2) and determine its optimal cutoff score.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) frequently persists into adulthood and leads to significant impairment across multiple domains. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has been proposed as a promising adjunctive treatment. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured group-based CBT program for adults with ADHD and examine whether cognitive ability and treatment adherence moderate treatment response.

This study investigates the prevalent characteristics of suicidality in college students with borderline personality (BP) features. In addition, it explores the relationship between BP features and suicidality and analyzes related psychological mechanisms.

This case report discusses a 62-year-old male with treatment-resistant bipolar II depression and hypertension. After poor responses to multiple treatments, an add-on esketamine nasal spray (ESK-NS) was introduced in October 2022. Improvement was seen, and the patient's depressive episode was nearly remitted during the maintenance phase. However, recurrence was noted when ESK-NS frequency was reduced to once every 2 months, indicating that the dosing frequency should be adjusted cautiously. The patient experienced common side effects, including dissociation, dizziness, and transient hypertension. Nifedipine was offered when his systolic blood pressure exceeded 160 mm Hg, accompanied by headache or dizziness. Blood pressure monitoring was essential throughout ESK-NS treatment. This report highlights esketamine's potential for bipolar depression treatment and calls for further studies on its cardiovascular effects and proper management.

Machine learning (ML) can assist in predicting suicide risk and identifying associated risk factors. Various resampling methods and algorithms must be applied to develop an ML prediction model with better performance. In this study, we developed an optimal Korean suicide prediction model by applying five ML algorithms, unsampled data, and two resampling methods.

This study aimed to examine the associations between age group, alcohol drinking status, and the development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) over a 2-year period in individuals who have sustained physical injuries.

The prevalence of depression is high among patients with end stage kidney disease (ESKD). To date, there has been limited investigation into the comparative effects of antidepressant in patients with ESKD. This study aims to explore the association between type of antidepressant, incidence of all-cause death, and hospitalization for major bleeding in patients with ESKD and depression.

Although depression is a common comorbidity in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), its neurophysiological relationship according to each symptom has rarely been explored. This study aimed to inform clinical practice by exploring the neurophysiological underpinnings of depression comorbidity in ADHD.

This study examined the modifying effects of functional levels on the associations of the low frequency (LF) and high frequency (HF) components of heart rate variability (HRV) with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) development.

This study aims to identify the cognitive and psychological characteristics associated with suicide attempts in young adults with major depressive disorder (MDD).

To investigate the pattern of antipsychotic drug use and safety in patients with bipolar disorder (BD).

Stress and coping strategies can influence the onset and recurrence of mood episodes. Assessment and classification of stress-coping behaviors might be necessary for intervention to correct maladaptive coping strategies. This study aimed to explore clinical types of stress-coping behaviors in patients with mood disorders using cluster analysis, and compare clinical characteristics among clusters.

Interleukin (IL)-40 is a recently identified cytokine implicated in inflammatory diseases. Increasing evidence links anxiety disorders to heightened inflammation. This study aimed to investigate IL-40 levels and oxidative stress in patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).

Considering the established intertwined relationships between burnout and other psychiatric disorders, this study aimed to clarify the existing levels of depression, anxiety, stress, emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment and their relationship among oncologists-a seemingly professional group at risk for mental health issues development.

This study investigates the impact of changes in physical activity (PA) on the risk of developing dementia in individuals diagnosed with depression, using a large-scale, retrospective national cohort dataset.

There is an increasing body of evidence suggesting that YouTube addiction may be associated with health issues among individuals in Indonesia. However, there is currently no validated instrument available in the Indonesian language to assess YouTube addiction. The present study represents the inaugural effort to translate and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Indonesian version of the YouTube Addiction Scale (YAS).

The global impact of respiratory infectious diseases led to significant mental health challenges, highlighting the need for proactive psychological interventions to prepare for future pandemics. In response, virtual reality-based stabilization (VRS) was developed to mitigate posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and related comorbidities.

Self-compassion plays a crucial role in emotional well-being and positive mental health. Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) can facilitate measurement of psychological distress and positive affect.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) includes three subtypes: inattentive type (ADHD-I), hyperactive/impulsive type (ADHD-HI), and combined type (ADHD-C). Diagnosis mainly relies on subjective behavioral rating scales, lacking objective biomarkers. Electroencephalography (EEG) and serum neurotrophic factors-brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), nerve growth factor (NGF), glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), and neurotrophin-3 (NTF3)-may aid subtype differentiation. This study evaluates their combined diagnostic value in children with ADHD.
