Summary: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) reduces anxiety symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) by modulating functional connectivity in the brain. Resting-state functional MRI showed that CBT altered connectivity within and between brain networks involved in PD-related anxiety circuits, leading to improved anxiety symptoms and enhanced cognitive control over emotional processing.

Summary: The aim of the study is to pilot the use of Unified Protocol (UP) for the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders in cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients and evaluate its feasibility. Results indicate that the transdiagnostic cognitive behavioral therapy intervention is acceptable for CVD patients with depression or anxiety disorders, but there were challenges in recruiting participants with current disorders and distress. Larger trials are needed to determine the effectiveness of this intervention in populations with CVD and depression or anxiety disorders.

Summary: The increasing life expectancy has led to a higher prevalence of age-dependent disorders, chronic illnesses, and comorbidities worldwide. Dementia ranks 3rd among the top 10 causes of death in Europe and the Americas in 2019, while Parkinson's disease has doubled in the number of cases to over 6 million globally. The urgent need for accurate diagnostic biomarkers, especially in early stages of diseases, is emphasized by these trends.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of anxiety and depression in older Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults. The results showed that 10.6% were diagnosed with depression and 15.8% with anxiety. However, some participants found certain questions offensive, and others had difficulty understanding the concepts in the assessment tools. Therefore, further research is needed to explore the underlying factors and expressions of depression and anxiety in the Torres Strait region.

Summary: This article reviews the controversy surrounding the cognitive behavioural model of clinical perfectionism and cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) for perfectionism, which has been published for 21 years. Despite 15 randomized controlled trials showing the efficacy of CBT in reducing perfectionism and associated symptoms, there are still strong disagreements in the literature. Future research should focus on independent evaluations, comparing CBT to other treatments, dismantling trials to identify effective components, and studying the causal processes of perfectionism.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between different motivations for volunteering and different outcomes experienced by animal welfare volunteers. Using an anonymous self-report questionnaire and thematic analysis of qualitative responses, three groups of volunteers were identified based on their prominent motivations: values-driven, personal-gain, and experience-oriented. Volunteers in each group experienced different outcomes, including pleasure and stress from enacting personal values, increased socialization opportunities, and a sense of purpose or gaining experience in animal care.

Summary: The use of assistance dogs provides numerous benefits for older adult owners. However, aged care facilities still refuse to allow owners to keep their dogs despite protective legislation. This study explores whether older adults should be allowed to retain their dogs when relocating to an aged care facility, and identifies the factors to consider in making this decision. Results suggest that objective assessments and policy changes are necessary to ensure the well-being of both the owner and the dog.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a co-designed interface for MYLO in young people aged 16 to 24 years with mental health problems. With collaboration from young people, a progressive web application version of MYLO was developed for mobile phones, and a case series and surveys were conducted to evaluate its feasibility and acceptability. The results showed that most participants had a positive experience using MYLO and would recommend it to others. Participants were satisfied with the simplicity and ease of use of the interface, rating it as acceptable.
