Summary: This study evaluated the benefit and tolerability of quetiapine as an adjunctive treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD) comorbid with anxiety disorders. The results showed that quetiapine was superior to placebo in improving depression and anxiety symptoms, as well as overall illness severity. Quetiapine was well-tolerated with minimal adverse effects.

Summary: This study investigated the association between comorbid anxiety disorder and sleep disturbance in individuals with bipolar disorder. The results showed that comorbid anxiety was associated with subjective sleep disturbance, but not with objective sleep metrics.

Summary: Sleep deprivation in adolescence is increasing in prevalence and may be linked to subsequent depression. Falling asleep later and shorter sleep duration are associated with higher depressive symptoms in both males and females. However, there is inconsistent evidence regarding the longitudinal associations between sleep duration and changes in depressive symptoms in adolescents.

Summary: This study reveals the relationship between rest-activity rhythms and lithium response, suggesting that rest-activity rhythms can serve as predictors of lithium treatment response in bipolar disorder patients. The study suggests that more stable circadian rhythms and lower sleep variability may be associated with a good response to lithium.

Summary: The study reveals that healthy pregnant women experience both objective and subjective sleep disturbances during the early trimester, and different types of sleep disturbances are significantly associated with depressive symptoms. Particularly, objectively assessed poor sleep quality in the first trimester may lead to an increased risk of depression during pregnancy.

Summary: The effectiveness of pharmacotherapy for bipolar depression with mixed features defined by DSM-5 is currently unclear in clinical treatment guidelines. This study evaluated the efficacy of quetiapine monotherapy and compared combination therapies of quetiapine plus valproate or lithium in patients who responded insufficiently to quetiapine alone. The results showed that quetiapine monotherapy appeared to be effective, and combining with either valproate or lithium had positive effects for insufficient responders.

Summary: The study used actigraphy data from BD and healthy control groups to find that sleep measures and composite scores did not significantly differ between the two groups. However, in BD patients, the composite score was associated with gender, employment status, medication load, and mood rating. Different sleep measures can better explain these associations.

Summary: Individuals with unhelpful beliefs about sleep across a depressive continuum are more likely to report poorer sleep quality and worse morning mood, irrespective of their sleep condition the previous night.

Summary: The efficacy of lithium in the treatment of acute bipolar depression needs further investigation. It showed poorer performance compared to antidepressants and slightly better performance than placebo. The current research does not support lithium as a first-line treatment, but it may still be a viable option.

Summary: The present study evaluates the effect of exogenous melatonin on sleep and circadian parameters in patients with bipolar disorder and delayed sleep-wake phase disorder. Results indicate that personalized treatment with exogenous melatonin can modify self-reported chronotype, sleep onset time, and sleep efficiency and duration in patients with comorbid bipolar disorder and delayed sleep-wake phase disorder, suggesting potential efficacy in improving sleep patterns in this population.

Summary: Sleep disturbances are typical symptoms of acute episodes of bipolar disorder, and researchers have found that subjective experiences of sleep may be modulated by different components of objectively recorded sleep in BD compared with healthy controls. The use of PCA enables consideration of the multi-dimensional nature of subjective sleep, while the inclusion of intra-individual sleep variability allows for a more subtle evaluation of objective sleep.

Summary: Lithium may play an important role in treating comorbid anxiety in bipolar disorder, both as adjunct and monotherapy. Lower doses of lithium may provide equivalent efficacy and enhance tolerability and compliance.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of quetiapine monotherapy or combination therapy with lithium on thyroid function in depressed patients with bipolar disorder. The results showed that both treatment methods significantly disturbed thyroid function, with quetiapine monotherapy being associated with immune dysregulation in the thyroid.

Summary: This study found that higher depressive symptoms in midlife women were longitudinally associated with poorer multidimensional sleep health, particularly lower alertness and satisfaction with sleep. Further exploration of the bidirectional relationship between these common symptoms is needed in prospective longitudinal studies.

Summary: This study found an inverse relationship between daily cannabis consumption and sleep onset latency, sleep efficiency, and number of night-time awakenings. Daily cannabis dosage was the strongest predictor for sleep parameters. Subjective sleep measures did not differ between cannabis users and non-cannabis users.

Summary: The traditional approaches to measuring depression after traumatic brain injury (TBI) have limitations. This study adopted a symptom-oriented approach and found that post-TBI depression is highly heterogeneous. Different depressive symptoms have distinct associations with personal, injury-related, treatment, and outcome factors.

Summary: Despite rapid social changes in Hong Kong, marriage remains a strong protective factor against suicide for both men and women, particularly among younger individuals. Increasing suicide rates among divorced/separated, never-married, or widowed individuals suggest a need for more psychosocial support.

Summary: This study found that the experience of losing at least one night of sleep was associated with an increased risk of postpartum psychosis in women with bipolar disorder. Sleep quality in late pregnancy was not associated with postpartum psychosis, and perinatal sleep disruption was not associated with postpartum depression.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed the association between psychological pain and suicidality in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). The results showed that psychological pain was a risk factor for suicidality in MDD patients, especially for those of advancing age. Reducing psychological pain in MDD patients is important for preventing suicidality.

Summary: This study examined the relationship among family accommodation (FA), posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), and functional impairment. The results showed that FA was significantly associated with PTSS and functional impairment. Baseline FA partially mediated the relationship between baseline PTSS and functional impairment. Changes in FA from pre- to post-treatment were associated with relevant outcome variables at post-treatment and 12-month follow-up.
