Abstract

This article addresses the question of how body-focused repetitive behavior disorders (e.g., trichotillomania and skin-picking disorder) should be characterized in ICD-11. The article reviews the historical nosology of the two disorders and the current approaches in DSM-5 and ICD-10. Although data are limited and mixed regarding the optimal relationship between body-focused repetitive behavior disorders and nosological categories, these conditions should be included within the obsessive-compulsive and related disorders category, as this is how most clinicians see these behaviors, and as this may optimize clinical utility. The descriptions of these disorders should largely mirror those in DSM-5, given the evidence from recent field surveys. The recommendations regarding ICD-11 and body-focused repetitive behavior disorders should promote the global identification and treatment of these conditions in primary care settings.

Acute and Long-Term Effects of an Internet-Based, Self-Help Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Children and Teens with Tic Disorders with Comorbid Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: A Reanalysis of Data from a Randomized Controlled Trial

Lilach Rachamim, Hila Mualem-Taylor, Osnat Rachamim, Michael Rotstein, Sharon Zimmerman-Brenner

Summary: This study found that in children and adolescents with tic disorders, both the presence of ADHD and the absence of comorbid ADHD were associated with similar reductions in tic symptoms after internet-delivered, self-help comprehensive behavioral intervention for tics (ICBIT). However, the presence of OCD comorbidity was associated with a lesser response to intervention. Furthermore, the intervention also led to significant reductions in parental reports of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Larger studies are needed to further optimize the application of ICBIT in children and teens with both tic disorders and comorbid ADHD and OCD.

Pruning and thresholding approach for methylation risk scores in multi-ancestry populations

Junyu Chen, Evan Gatev, Todd Everson, Karen N. Conneely, Nastassja Koen, Michael P. Epstein, Michael S. Kobor, Heather J. Zar, Dan J. Stein, Anke Huels

Summary: Recent studies have focused on developing methylation risk scores (MRS), which use weighted sums of DNA methylation (DNAm) values at pre-selected CpG sites. Most current MRS approaches only include genome-wide significant CpG sites and do not consider co-methylation. New methods that relax the p-value threshold and account for DNAm inter-correlation show promise in improving predictive performance of MRS.

Summary: Gender inequality has been linked to higher mental health risks and lower academic achievement for women globally. Differences in brain structure between men and women may be partially explained by unequal exposure to harsher conditions in gender-unequal countries, leading to worse outcomes for women. A meta-analysis of MRI scans from 139 samples across 29 countries revealed that women in gender-equal countries had no differences or even thicker cortical regions, while those in countries with greater gender inequality had thinner cortices. These findings highlight the potential negative impact of gender inequality on women's brains and the need for policies based on neuroscience for gender equality.
