Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of motivational interviewing (MI) offered by caseworkers at NAV on return to work (RTW). MI was compared to usual case management and an active control. The study found that MI was not more effective than usual case management or active control in promoting RTW.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate predictors of return to work in patients with depression, anxiety disorders, or stress-related disorders at 6 and 12 months. The findings showed that symptom burden and employment status at baseline were predictors of return to work for the overall group as well as the subgroups of depression, anxiety, and stress-related disorders.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a problem-solving intervention delivered by first-line managers to employees with common mental disorders in reducing sick leave over a 12-month follow-up period. The study utilizes a two-armed cluster-randomized trial design in private-sector companies and includes primary and secondary outcomes, as well as a process evaluation. Methodological strengths and limitations are discussed, including the risk of selection bias, attrition, and contamination.

Summary: This study found that diagnoses on sick leave certificates did not correspond to the diagnoses made in structured psychiatric interviews. Many participants with sick leave for certain mental disorders also fulfilled criteria for other mental disorders. The severity of symptoms was a better predictor of long-term sick leave than the actual diagnoses.

Summary: This study aimed to identify specific trajectories of depression and anxiety among clinically ill individuals. Three trajectories for depression and anxiety were identified and predictors for trajectory membership were determined. Results indicated that after two years, individuals with milder and decreasing anxiety symptoms were more likely to experience remission.

Summary: The study identified three subgroups with distinctly different sick leave trajectories, one group with consistently low sick leave throughout the treatment, and the other two groups showing similar low sick leave before treatment but increased sick leave at the start of treatment. Female gender and higher age were associated with higher sick leave at the beginning of treatment, while residual depressive symptoms at the end of treatment predicted continued sick leave. The findings suggest the possibility of improving patient outcomes in the future by tailoring treatment based on patient characteristics.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between sick leave length and mental morbidity across different occupational categories. The results showed that there were differences in sick leave lengths caused by substance use or other factors. There were no differences in sick leave duration among different working groups for mental illnesses attributable to drugs, but there were differences for mental disorders caused by other factors.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a developed cCBT program in improving depressive and anxiety symptoms among patients with COVID-19. Results from a randomized controlled trial of 252 COVID-19 patients showed significant reductions in HAMD17, HAMA, SDS, SAS, and AIS scores in the cCBT + TAU group compared to the TAU group postintervention.

Summary: This study investigates the potential role of the unique sound of tennis in alleviating anxiety. The results of a randomized controlled experiment show that the experimental group, exposed to tennis stroke sound stimuli, experienced a significant reduction in anxiety scores after 4 weeks. The sound of tennis exhibits a pleasing timbre, a steady rhythm, and orderly variations in pitch, which align with human auditory characteristics.

Summary: Youth in under-resourced communities have higher social risk factors for mental health needs but less access to care. School-based mental health services are effective, but few have a family-centered approach which may benefit specific populations.

Summary: The present study aimed to investigate the effects of a 1-week break from social media on well-being, depression, and anxiety, and to explore the mediating role of time spent on different social media platforms. The results showed that discontinuing social media use for 1 week significantly improved well-being, depression, and anxiety. The effects were partially mediated by a reduction in self-reported weekly minutes spent on social media.

Summary: A significant minority of patients with hypothyroidism continue to experience symptoms despite normal thyroid biochemistry, and this can be attributed to imperfections in treatment methods, coexistence with somatic symptom and related disorders, autoimmune neuroinflammation, and comorbidities and psychosocial factors. Currently, there is a bias towards pursuing answers related to combination treatment of levothyroxine and liothyronine, while other explanations have been neglected.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence and associated factors of somatic symptom disorder (SSD) in hypothyroid patients. The results showed a high prevalence of pSSD among hypothyroid patients, with associations found between pSSD and young age, female gender, low income, and use of levothyroxine (LT4) alone. In addition, pSSD was associated with dissatisfaction with treatment and care, negative impact on daily living, and anxiety and low mood/depression.

Summary: There is a belief that Long COVID could have a purely functional origin. Labelling patients with neurological dysfunction in Long COVID as having functional neurological disorder (FND) without proper testing is problematic. This practice prevents Long COVID patients with motor and balance symptoms from receiving appropriate care, while treatment for FND is often ineffective. Research is needed to determine whether motor and balance symptoms diagnosed as FND should be considered part of Long COVID or if they truly represent FND.

Summary: This study examined the association between inflammatory biomarkers during hospitalization and persistent symptoms after discharge in COVID-19 patients. The results showed that female patients had lower levels of inflammatory biomarkers on admission, which were subsequently associated with long-term symptoms such as myalgia and anxiety. Further research is needed to understand the role of biomarkers in predicting post-COVID outcomes.
