Summary: Studies on grey matter changes in patients with bipolar I disorder following the first episode of mania show inconsistent results, with some suggesting that ACC volume decrease may be a marker for neuroprogression. However, the findings are not conclusive and larger studies are needed to better understand neuroprogression in early BD-I.

Summary: The objective of this study was to evaluate differences in sustained attention and associated neurofunctional profiles between bipolar disorder type I, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and healthy comparison youth. Adolescent participants underwent MRI while completing a modified Continuous Performance Task. BD participants displayed deficits in sustained attention and lower activation in brain regions associated with performance and neural integration. These differences were distinct to the BD group and not attributable to ADHD comorbidity.

Summary: This study compares psychiatric diagnoses and psychotropic drug use before the first episode of mania or psychosis in racially diverse patients. The findings indicate that non-White patients had a shorter duration of psychiatric antecedents and sought mental health care at an older age compared to White patients. There were no significant differences in pathways to care or age of first seeking mental health between racial groups, but non-White patients had lower rates of psychotropic drug use.

Summary: Sleep plays a crucial role in the development and manifestation of mood disorders, but few studies have examined sleep architecture during manic episodes of Bipolar Disorder (BD) and changes in sleep parameters. This study investigated 21 BD patients in the manic phase and found that their sleep quantity and quality improved during hospitalization, accompanied by clinical improvement. The study also revealed an increase in REM sleep. These findings suggest that changes in sleep architecture can serve as sensitive markers for clinical variations during manic phases of Bipolar Disorder.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze the effects of medication and non-medication factors on the physical health of individuals with a first episode of psychosis. The findings suggest that some of the metabolic complications observed in psychotic disorders may not be solely attributed to medication. This highlights the importance of providing early physical health interventions in the course of first episode psychosis.

Summary: Empirical evidence suggests that there is a significant bidirectional association between mental disorders and physical diseases, but the prospective impact of mental disorders on clinical outcomes of physical diseases has not been fully examined. This umbrella review analyzed systematic reviews with meta-analysis to identify the association between mental disorders and clinical outcomes of physical diseases. The study found that mental disorders increase the risk of adverse clinical outcomes in various physical diseases, and prevention targeting these disorders can reduce the incidence of negative outcomes.

Summary: The aim of this study was to identify a drug for repurposing in the treatment of bipolar depression. A gene expression signature was generated using human neuronal-like cells to represent the effects of drugs used to treat bipolar disorder. Trimetazidine was identified as a potential candidate for repurposing based on its similar transcriptional effects and its ability to increase ATP production.

Summary: This exploratory study investigated the association between the age of onset of bipolar I disorder and the threshold for UVB sufficient for vitamin D production. The results showed that the age of onset at locations with UVB threshold below the threshold was 1.66 years younger than those with UVB threshold equal to or above the threshold. The conclusion suggests that UVB and vitamin D may play an important role in the development of bipolar disorder.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and narrative synthesis of low carbohydrate and ketogenic diets (LC/KD) in adults with mood and anxiety disorders. Although there is no high-quality evidence of LC/KD efficacy in mood or anxiety disorders, several uncontrolled studies suggest possible beneficial effects. Robust studies are now needed to demonstrate efficacy, identify clinical groups who may benefit, and characterize adverse effects and the risk of relapse after diet discontinuation.

Summary: Objective Person-centred growth-oriented language and care are vital in mental health care. The testimonies in the Final Report of the Royal Commission into Victoria's Mental Health System highlight the need for a compassionate and hope-filled system, which can be achieved through person-centred growth-oriented language. There is a lack of understanding about the process and language involved in individuals' mental health growth. Recovery should not just mean returning to baseline, but should also involve daily personal growth and improvement towards mental health.

Summary: In this cross-sectional analysis, factors associated with meal skipping in community dwelling adults aged 70 or above were examined. The prevalence of meal skipping in this study was 19.5%. The study found that older age (85+ years), living in regional areas, living alone, smoking, alcohol consumption, poor oral health, diabetes, and frailty were associated with higher odds of meal skipping. These findings can help target interventions to address meal skipping in later life.
