Summary: Lower sepsis mortality rates lead to more patient discharge, but survivors often experience long-term sequelae; while animal models can help understand the psychiatric symptoms post-sepsis, some molecular changes persist despite time-dependent recovery from behavioral alterations.

Summary: This study examined the association between 24-hour rest-activity rhythm (RAR) characteristics and depression symptoms in stroke survivors. The findings showed that RAR fragmentation was associated with depression symptoms. These findings have important implications for understanding the psychological well-being of stroke survivors.

Summary: This study investigates the presence of depressive and anxiety symptoms in severe COVID-19 survivors and identifies associated factors. It finds that a significant proportion of these survivors, particularly younger ones, experience depression and anxiety post-discharge, which are linked to cognitive complaints, ICU memories, fear of COVID-19 sequelae, sleep problems, and pain. These findings underscore the importance of assessing psychological consequences and providing appropriate multidisciplinary follow-up care after hospitalization due to COVID-19.

Summary: Neuropsychiatric symptoms were present in more than half of 6-month ICH survivors, with higher prevalence and severity in patients with post-ICH dementia. Apathy and hyperactivity symptoms may be associated with cognitive status and can inform on long-term dementia risk.

Summary: This study explored the prevalence and risk factors of anxiety and depression symptoms in relatives of moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivors. The results showed that at the 6-month follow-up, 50.6% of relatives displayed severe symptoms of anxiety and 34.9% displayed severe symptoms of depression. Severe anxiety symptoms were associated with the patient's discharge at home and higher SF-36 Mental Health domain scores, while severe depression symptoms were associated with lower SF-36 Mental Health domain scores. Long-term follow-up should provide psychological care to relatives after TBI.

Summary: A standardized approach to assessing COVID-19 survivors has not been established due to limited data on medium- and long-term outcomes. This study found that persistent symptoms, adverse mental health outcomes, and physiological impairment are common 2 months after severe COVID-19 pneumonia. Follow-up chest radiography may not effectively monitor recovery, highlighting the importance of holistic face-to-face assessments for early recognition and management of post-COVID-19 sequelae.

Summary: The study suggests that COVID-19 survivors may experience deteriorations in PTSS, with PCL-5 scores positively correlated with duration after discharge and potential changes in brain structural volumes in bilateral hippocampus and amygdala.

Summary: This study examines gender differences in symptoms of Chinese adolescents with depression and finds that females have higher rates of depression and more severe depressive symptoms compared to males across different age groups. The analysis also reveals an earlier onset of depression among Chinese adolescents compared to previous studies in Western countries. This highlights the importance of gender equality and gender-friendly interventions in maintaining the overall mental health of adolescents in China.

Summary: Objective rates of depression identification and utilization of psychosocial services are low among lung cancer patients. Younger and older lung cancer survivors have different perceptions and descriptions of somatic and affective symptoms, with older adults facing more barriers to accessing psychosocial services.

Summary: The study found that young stroke survivors frequently experience neuropsychiatric symptoms, with depression being the most common. Presence of multiple infarcts on imaging was associated with self-reported depression and presence of any neuropsychiatric symptom.

Summary: The study found that breast cancer survivors with insomnia symptoms were more likely to experience depressive symptoms and fatigue, with insomnia symptoms significantly associated with moderate fatigue. The use of antidepressants or sleep medications post-breast cancer diagnosis did not reduce the risk of depressive symptoms or fatigue in those with insomnia symptoms.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence and severity of psychological symptoms in critical care survivors during the first 6 months after ICU discharge, finding that patients who were difficult to sedate during their ICU stay were more likely to develop anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Early identification and preventive strategies are needed to address the psychological sequelae in these at-risk patients.

Summary: The study identified three different trajectories of depressive symptoms in sepsis survivors over the course of 1 year after discharge from ICU. The severity of depressive symptoms was associated with chronic pain, posttraumatic stress, and reduced health-related quality of life (HRQOL) at discharge from ICU. Regular screening for symptoms of depression, chronic pain, and posttraumatic stress in sepsis survivors within 1 year after ICU discharge may be beneficial.

Summary: The study found that patients with at least moderate to severe depressive symptoms experienced significant reductions in depressive symptoms after participating in a therapist-supported mHealth program. However, the study had limitations such as lack of a control group and clinical diagnostic information, suggesting that further randomized trials are needed to validate the scalability of the MHP for patients with more severe depressive symptoms.
