Summary: The study found that anxiety symptoms have a unique association with temporal self-appraisal, with individuals with anxiety showing a similar positive trend in self-view to euthymic individuals, but with overall lower self-evaluation at each temporal point. Depressed individuals had a stable past-to-present self-view and an improving present-to-future self-view.

Summary: This review aims to identify and assess the relationships between primary headache disorders and comorbid emotional and psychological disorders. It has been observed that there is a higher risk of anxiety and depression in children with chronic headache and also an increased risk for the persistence of headache in patients with anxiety and depression. Understanding this bidirectional association of comorbid disorders is of great importance in offering a holistic approach to the management of headache disorders in children and adolescents.

Summary: Recent lifestyle changes have led to increased peer pressure and mental stress, resulting in higher incidences of addiction, depression, and anxiety (ADA). Genetic factors play a significant role in individuals' stress tolerance levels, with vulnerable individuals often turning to drug addiction as a coping mechanism. This systematic review examines the relationship between various genetic factors and the development of ADA, specifically focusing on cocaine abuse. The study identifies 51 genes linked to ADA development, with BDNF, PERIOD2, and SLC6A4 being common to all three aspects of ADA. The findings suggest potential for identifying diagnostic biomarkers and drug targets, as well as developing more effective therapeutic approaches against ADA.

Summary: This systematic review examined the association between a vegetarian diet and mental health outcomes such as depression, anxiety, and stress. The results from 13 publications were analyzed, including four cohort studies and nine cross-sectional studies. The findings suggest that there is no significant association between a vegetarian diet and depression or anxiety. However, due to insufficient data, the relationship with stress could not be determined. Further cohort studies are needed to explore the effects of a vegetarian diet on mental health outcomes.

Summary: Stress, anxiety and depression are often characterized by activation of the stress axis, leading to similar symptoms and closely related occurrences. Current diagnosis methods lack laboratory tests for confirmation, hence studying salivary components may aid in quick diagnosis and treatment monitoring. Promising salivary biomarkers such as cortisol, sIgA, lysozyme, melatonin, sAA, CgA, and FGF-2, show fluctuations in saliva concentrations, indicating strong associations with psychological issues like stress, depression, and anxiety.
