Growing research indicated that it is highly valuable and clinically beneficial to quantitatively measure and detect the potential presence of paranoid thinking. Among the various existing self-report instruments to measure paranoia, the Green et al. Paranoid Thoughts Scale (GPTS) was recommended as having the most well-defined, clearly articulated construct underlying its items, and the strongest psychometric qualities in general and clinical population samples. Yet, the psychometric performance of the GPTS remains unknown in the Arab language and culture. To address this gap, our study aimed to explore the psychometric properties of an Arabic translation of the shortest version of the scale (i.e., the GPTS-8).

Suicidality is a transdiagnostic entity in patients with and without psychiatric disorders. Ketamine is a novel treatment for treatment-resistant depression with favorable effects on related suicidality in this population. Little is known about the effects of ketamine on suicidality as a distinct phenomenon.

Estimate the psychometric properties of the interRAI Quality of Life for Mental Health and Addictions (interRAI QOL) instrument with users of Psychosocial Care Centers and participants of therapeutic groups in Primary Health Care, exploring age, gender, and service settings differences in quality of life.

Plasma phosphoethanolamine (PEA) has been proposed as a potential biomarker for depressive disorder. To further assess its diagnostic utility and relevance across psychiatric conditions, we conducted a larger observational study in a psychiatric primary care setting.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD) are psychiatric conditions with overlapping clinical features but distinct pathologies. This study aims to explore the microvascular changes in superficial retinal capillary plexus (SRCP) in patients between MDD and BPD using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), as well as determine their clinical diagnostic value.

Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is a psychiatric condition characterized by excessive preoccupation with perceived flaws in physical appearance, often encountered in dermatologic settings.

This study aimed to explore the transdiagnostic interactions between ADHD and ASD symptoms in Chinese children, identifying core and bridging symptoms, and examining differences in symptom networks across gender and age subgroups.

Early identification of individuals at risk for developing mental health disorders is critical for timely intervention, reducing distress and improving outcomes. This study outlines the development and preliminary validation of 'TRACE', a short self-report measure designed to detect a pluripotent at-risk mental state (PARMS). The measure captures a range of subthreshold symptoms and traits associated with emerging manifestations of mania, psychosis and borderline personality disorder.

To describe the development and the methodology for validation of a new scale for postpartum anxiety for mothers of preterm infants, and a 'Velcro' sub-scale of the Postpartum Specific Anxiety Scale for use with mothers who have had infants admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Adults version (BRIEF-A) consists of two forms, self-report and informant-report. Each form encompasses nine scales to assess executive functions. The study aimed to examine the unidimensionality of each scale and item-level agreement between the two forms in people with schizophrenia.

Two of the most extensively utilized questionnaires for assessing symptoms of anxiety and depression are Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Beck Depression Inventory-second version (BDI-II).

To revise the Brief Body Perception Questionnaire (BPQ-SF) for applicability in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), and to examine its reliability and psychometric characteristics.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) affects a significant and growing proportion of women each year. We know little about how their needs and experiences change over the perinatal period. This study aims to explore the psychosocial and healthcare experiences of women with a GDM diagnosis from pregnancy to 12-month postnatal.

Eating disorders (ED) impact caregivers' lives, affecting their mental health and the entire family system. Caregivers often tend to accommodate ED behaviors, structuring family life around ED pathology. Both high levels of accommodating behaviors and low caregiver skills were associated with poor patient outcomes, thereby fostering the maintenance of the ED pathology. The current study's objectives were to translate the AESED and CASK scales into Italian and assess both self-report instruments' psychometric properties.

Here we present Healthy MiNDS, a cohort of mothers and their newborns in São Paulo, Brazil, designed to investigate how maternal adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) intergenerationally affect child behavior and neurodevelopment, while exploring underlying biological mechanisms.

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a severe and disabling condition. The Borderline Personality Disorder Checklist (BPDCL) was designed to specifically assess the subjective burden of a patient due to BPD symptoms. Various translations have been developed, but an assessment of the psychometric properties of these translations is needed. The aim was to examine the psychometric qualities of the BPDCL across different languages (i.e., Italian, Dutch, German, Spanish, English, and Greek).

The Cognitive Complaints Rating Scale in Bipolar Disorder (COBRA) is a brief self-report measure designed to capture Subjective Cognitive Complaints (SCC) experienced by patients with Bipolar Disorder (BD). This study aimed to translate the 16-item COBRA into Turkish (COBRA-TR) and comprehensively assess its psychometric properties.

We created the Digital Activity and Feelings Inventory (DAFI) to measure youth digital activities and the psychological reactions they evoke, established its psychometric properties and tested its validity in predicting mental health relative to screen time estimates.

Psychological problems frequently emerge between ages 15 and 24, often coinciding with the university period. In Spain, anxiety and depressive disorders are prevalent among university students, yet only a small fraction receive treatment. This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effectiveness, acceptability, and implementation of UP in online group format versus a blended format among university students with EDs at the University of Córdoba.

The heterogeneous metrics and criteria used to assess the effectiveness of substance use disorders treatment hinders cross-study comparisons. This review aims to parse such heterogeneity by analysing the operational definitions of variables used to derive metrics and outcome criteria, contributing to the standardisation process.
