Summary: The study reports on the outcomes of the Brief Behavioral Therapy (BBT) trial for pediatric anxiety and depression. BBT was found to be superior to assisted referral to outpatient care (ARC) in terms of diagnostic remission, independent functioning, and targeted psychopathology. The positive effects of BBT on youth were largely mediated by the change in anxiety.

Summary: This article discusses the treatment of Sjogren's syndrome, focusing on new drug targets and the latest clinical trials. The study found that current trials overlook the non-glandular symptoms that often accompany the disease, such as fatigue, depression, and anxiety. Emerging biological agents targeting dryness and these symptoms have been studied and proven effective and safe. Additionally, it is suggested to create better grading systems to assess disease activity and severity, and the future of treatment may lie in gene, stem-cell, and tissue-engineering therapies.

Summary: Care for people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) is complex and challenging for general neurologists. This study found that the addition of nurse practitioner-led care improved depression in PwMS compared to usual care. There was no difference in satisfaction with care. Further research is needed to explore how nurse practitioners can enhance care for PwMS in healthcare settings.

Summary: This article reviews the stigmatization and discrimination faced by the LGBTIQ+ community in healthcare settings and addresses the need to reduce mental health inequalities. The findings suggest that LGBTIQ+ individuals have unmet mental health needs and are more vulnerable to substance abuse and mental health issues, resulting in barriers to accessing healthcare services and tailored interventions. These findings have implications for policy development, healthcare screening, and the structure of specialist services. Further research is needed to explore how mental health providers can address social issues and support the resilience of LGBTIQ+ individuals.

Summary: This study aimed to predict the prescription patterns of antipsychotic medications for individuals with schizophrenia using machine learning algorithms. The results showed that antipsychotic polytherapy (APP) was strongly associated with higher total doses of antipsychotics. Individuals who frequently attended community mental health centers and those who had recent hospitalizations were more likely to be treated with APP and higher doses of antipsychotics. The random forest algorithm performed better than ordinary least square regression and other machine learning algorithms in predicting antipsychotic dose and APP.

Summary: This study examined the mediating role of adult attachment and reflective functioning in the relationship between traumatic life events and suicidal ideation. The results showed that attachment anxiety and reflective functioning partially mediated the positive relationship between traumatic life events and suicidal ideation. These findings support the importance of evaluating and improving patients' ability to mentalize in psychotherapeutic interventions targeting individuals with traumatic experiences and attachment anxiety.

Summary: The study examined the prevalence and correlates of problem gambling among 275 Italian university healthcare professions students. The results showed that 8.7% of participants had problem gambling, and 1.5% had pathological gambling. Males were more involved in gambling than females, with lottery and scratch cards being the most common types. These findings have important implications for prevention and intervention on gambling and pathological gambling, suggesting the need for educational programs and counseling services.
