Summary: Older American adults tended to have a more optimistic outlook and better mental health during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, except for perceived infection-fatality risk. They perceived lower risks of getting infected, being quarantined, running out of money, and had lower levels of depression and anxiety.

Summary: Through studying risk factors for postpartum depression and anxiety, it was found that factors such as speaking a foreign language at home, a history of depression, low maternal self-efficacy, and poor current health were associated with a higher risk of depression. On the other hand, factors such as higher educational level, history of depression, preterm birth, negative experiences, low partner support, and poor maternal health were associated with a higher risk of anxiety.

Summary: The accurate placement of events on a timeline is often a challenge, particularly for distant past events. In a study conducted with 277 participants in May 2022, it was found that participants made more errors in recalling the timeline of distant events compared to more recent ones. Surprisingly, there was also a significant error in estimating the timing of events that occurred in 2021, similar to events that happened 3 to 4 years earlier. This error in perception of event timeline was associated with levels of depression, anxiety, resilience, and the demands of the COVID pandemic.

Summary: Background: ADHD is associated with an increased risk of poor mental health during the postpartum period among women. This study aimed to examine the risk of depression and anxiety disorders in women with and without an ADHD diagnosis during the postpartum period. The results showed that women with an ADHD diagnosis had a higher prevalence of depression and anxiety disorders postpartum, indicating that ADHD is an important risk factor for these mental health conditions.

Summary: Data suggests that negative anxiety response styles may lead to or worsen depressive symptoms in individuals with anxiety, but the exact nature of this relationship is unclear. This study found that worry and trait anxiety may predict negative anxiety response styles and subsequent depressive symptoms. Additionally, low attentional control may strengthen the relationship between negative anxiety response styles and depression.

Summary: Depressive symptoms impact pregnancy outcomes and postpartum quality of life in women with gestational diabetes mellitus and normal glucose tolerance. Women with antenatal symptoms of depression are more likely to develop GDM, and those with depressive symptoms have lower quality of life postpartum. Additionally, NGT women with depressive symptoms have higher rates of labor inductions and lower quality of life postpartum compared to nondepressed NGT women.

Summary: Negative or stressful life events are strong risk factors for depression and anxiety. This study investigated the role of positivity in buffering against negativity and predicting anxiety and depressive symptoms. The findings demonstrated that positivity protected against high levels of negativity in noninterpersonal events, while interpersonal negativity predicted higher levels of anhedonia-apprehension. The results suggest that the positivity of life events may play a buffering role in predicting symptoms shared between anxiety and depression.

Summary: Three theoretically grounded hypotheses regarding interactions between modern health worries, somatic symptom distress, and negative affect were tested in two large community samples. The results showed weak associations between modern health worries, somatic symptoms, and negative affectivity, with an interaction observed only in one case. Overall, the temporal stability of modern health worries cannot be explained by somatic symptom distress and negative affectivity based on data from the German and Swedish samples.

Summary: Postpartum psychosis is a severe psychiatric disorder associated with childbirth, with little research on maternal bonding and parenting stress in this population. This study found that women at risk of PP, especially those who developed a postpartum relapse, reported more negative affective experiences towards their infants. Parenting stress and psychiatric symptoms were significant predictors of less optimal postnatal bonding, highlighting the importance of addressing maternal symptoms and stress in improving bonding outcomes in at-risk populations.

Summary: This study found that fear of COVID-19 among older adults may be associated with psychological factors such as anxiety, depressive symptoms, risk perception, and age. The results demonstrated that fear of COVID-19 in older adults could be a projection of pre-existing affective symptoms and exaggerated risk perceptions.

Summary: This study examined the mediating effect of trait anxiety and the moderating effect of self-esteem in the relationship between negative life events and depression among Chinese college students. The results showed that negative life events had an indirect effect on depression through trait anxiety, and this mediation was moderated by self-esteem. Limitations of the study included self-reported measures and a cross-sectional design.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the associations between dietary intake of fatty acids in childhood and the risk of islet autoimmunity and type 1 diabetes (T1D). The results showed that higher intake of monounsaturated fatty acids, arachidonic acid, total n-3 fatty acids, and long-chain n-3 fatty acids was associated with a decreased risk of islet autoimmunity. Higher intake of total fat and saturated fatty acids was associated with a decreased risk of T1D only when energy adjusted.

Summary: It is found that iron intake and genetically determined iron overload may interact in predisposing to the development of childhood islet autoimmunity and type 1 diabetes. A U-shaped association between iron intake and risk of GAD antibody as the first autoantibody in children was found. High iron intake was associated with an increased risk of IA with insulin as the first autoantibody in children with 2 or more iron risk alleles.
