Summary: This study found that personality traits are related to sexual function and mood in symptomatic postmenopausal women, with harm avoidance playing a mediating role. This suggests that in clinical practice, it may be useful to use psychometric tools to screen for mood disorders and assess personality traits in order to improve the diagnosis and treatment of sexual disorders in menopausal women.

Summary: The study found that hot flashes, sweating, anxiety, and depression in peri- and postmenopausal women are risk factors affecting sleep quality. Anxiety and depression played a mediating role between hot flashes, sweating, and sleep quality, with anxiety symptoms accounting for 17.86% (P < 0.01) and depression symptoms accounting for 5.36% (P < 0.01) of the mediating effect. By alleviating these risk factors, the sleep quality of peri- and postmenopausal women could be improved, preventing physical and mental diseases associated with long-term severe insomnia.

Summary: Smartphone addiction is on the rise globally. This study aimed to explore the mediating effect of executive dysfunction in the relationship between negative emotions and smartphone addiction. A survey was conducted among 421 Chinese college students, measuring anxiety, depression, smartphone addiction, and executive dysfunction. The findings showed that anxiety, depression, and executive dysfunction were positively and significantly associated with smartphone addiction. Executive dysfunction mediated the relationship between anxiety and smartphone addiction, while partially mediating the relationship between depression and smartphone addiction. The results emphasize the importance of executive dysfunction in understanding the link between negative emotions and smartphone addiction.

Summary: Despite the high prevalence and detrimental consequences of cognitive and executive dysfunction in ADHD, there is limited evidence regarding cognitive remediation in the adult ADHD population. This study examined the effects of a goal-focused intervention on executive functioning and psychological well-being in adults with ADHD. The findings suggest that this intervention can lead to improvements in everyday executive functioning, psychological well-being, and symptoms of anxiety in adults with ADHD.

Summary: The systematic review and meta-analysis revealed inadequate assessment of maternal depression and unreliable measures of executive function in many studies. However, there was a small yet statistically significant relationship between perinatal depression and child executive function, supporting the hypothesis that maternal depression during the perinatal period impacts offspring's executive function. Future studies should focus on robust measurement of depression and executive function, and consider the chronicity of maternal depression and developmental context for meaningful results.

Summary: The outbreak of COVID-19 had a negative impact on adolescents' mental health, especially depression. This study examined the effect of executive function on Chinese adolescents' depression, exploring the relationship between cold and hot executive functions and the role of rumination. The results showed that both cold and hot executive functions negatively predict depression, with rumination as a mediator. Strengthening executive control and training cold execution function can effectively relieve depression in adolescents.

Summary: Adult hippocampal neurogenesis was initially discovered in rodents, with subsequent studies identifying adult neural stem cells and their links to plasticity, behavior, and disease. The debate continues as to whether new neurons are produced in the human dentate gyrus during healthy aging. Recent research has shown conflicting results regarding the presence of dividing neuronal precursors in the adult human brain.

Summary: The human amygdala plays a crucial role in emotional learning, valence coding, and complex social interactions, and it continues to mature throughout childhood, puberty, and adolescence. The amygdala paralaminar nucleus (PL), which undergoes structural changes and increased numbers of mature neurons, contains a large population of immature excitatory neurons at birth. These immature neurons persist throughout childhood and adolescence, suggesting a protracted developmental timeline. While the function of the PL remains unknown, its maturation primarily occurs during late childhood and puberty, coinciding with changes in sex hormone levels. This suggests that sex hormones may play a role in the maturation and development of PL neurons, which could be relevant for amygdala functions and neuropsychiatric conditions.

Summary: Research suggests that racial and ethnic disparities in mental illness are significant in the United States. However, minoritized racial or ethnic groups tend to have lower prevalence rates of psychiatric disorders compared to White adults. The prevalence rates and symptoms of depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and premenstrual syndrome or premenstrual dysphoric disorder vary across racial or ethnic women. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses have shown inconsistent findings, and the methodological quality of the reviews varied. Overall, racially or ethnically minoritized women report lower prevalence rates in depressive and eating disorders than White women, but they may exhibit different or greater symptom presentations, affecting prevalence estimates. Methodological considerations are provided to improve the literature on racial or ethnic mental health disparities in women. (Fertil Steril((R)) 2023;119:364-74.
