Summary: Individual differences in emotional processes play a crucial role in psychological problems. This study aimed to test a model that negative emotional reactivity explains psychological distress via emotion dysregulation. The results indicated that negative emotional reactivity is associated with psychological symptoms mediated by emotion dysregulation.

Summary: This study investigates the association between mood instability and symptomatic, psychosocial, and familial functioning in youth at high risk for bipolar disorder (BD). The results show that youth with higher mood instability ratings tend to have other specified BD, younger age, earlier symptom onset, more severe mood symptoms, lower psychosocial functioning, and more familial conflict. Mood instability mediates the association between baseline diagnosis and mother/offspring conflict at follow-up. Psychosocial interventions do not moderate these associations.

Summary: Research on 232 adolescents showed a U-shaped relationship between negative emotional reactivity to daily hassles and depression symptoms, indicating severity at the extremes of reactivity. Reactivity to daily uplifts had a significant linear relationship with depression, with heightened reactivity predicting worsening depression longitudinally.

Summary: Difficulties in emotion regulation (DER) and emotion reactivity (ER) are closely related to psychiatric disorders such as depression and anxiety. This study used network analysis methods to explore the relationship between DER and ER and identified core nodes. The findings suggest that limited access to emotion regulation strategies is the most central node. Furthermore, anxiety showed the strongest relationship with ER, while depression had a stronger relationship with DER. This highlights the potential for intervention development in the area of ER for anxiety disorders and the importance of clarifying emotions and exploring coping strategies for depression, while acknowledging the complex interplay between depressive and anxious symptoms.

Summary: Based on the new perspective of predictive processing, depression can be understood as an imbalance of predictive signals in the brain, resulting in relative insensitivity to prediction error. This study found that individuals with depression perceived displayed facial expressions as less similar to their expectations, indicating increased prediction error in negative emotion contexts. This effect was amplified by recent mood-congruent yet irrelevant experiences.

Summary: Mental disorders are on the rise and have become a significant challenge to individuals' social and financial well-being. The use of biomarkers for phenotypic characterization of psychiatric disorders, particularly Major Depressive Disorder, can enhance understanding of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. This comprehensive review focuses on depression and relapse detection modalities, such as self-questionnaires, audiovisuals, and EEG, with a particular emphasis on machine learning approaches.

Summary: The study found that dysphoric mood induction led to prefrontal activation and sensory deactivation in the brain, which was related to depression relapse. Somatosensory deactivation as a static biomarker was associated with depression recurrence, while targeting prefrontal regions responsive to clinical intervention may mitigate vulnerability to relapse.

Summary: Emotion-related impulsivity is related to internalizing symptoms and predicts higher levels of depression, anxiety, general distress, and suicidal ideation during the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of emotion-related impulsivity on stress levels varies, with one form predicting internalizing symptoms at low stress levels and another form predicting internalizing symptoms at high stress levels.

Summary: The study found a dynamic interaction between high expressed emotion and relapse in patients with schizophrenia, with critical comments and warmth being the two important domains influencing relapse. The results highlight the importance of family interventions focusing on reducing critical comments and improving warmth in relationships.

Summary: The study identified predictors of relapse in depression treatment, including previous depressive episodes, baseline anxiety, number of treatment steps, and poor medication adherence. Results showed that treatment Step 4 was significantly associated with relapse compared to other treatment steps during the long-term follow-up.

Summary: The study found that participants were more likely to choose positive videos to increase positive emotions preemptively when anticipating a negative situation, but this effect did not last throughout the stress task. Negative selections were linked to better performance on the speech task across age groups.

Summary: This study investigates the cultivation of mindfulness and stress-reappraisal skills through three different web-based interventions and examines their effects on mental health. The results indicate that decentering improved across all conditions. Mindfulness with choice significantly reduced negative affect and rumination compared to stress mindset, while stress mindset significantly enhanced stress mindset skills compared to both mindfulness groups. Furthermore, stress mindset also increased positive affect.

Summary: Interoception plays a central role in emotion, motivation, and wellbeing. However, its measurement is currently limited to self-report, lacking objective methods. Through machine learning, we successfully classified interoceptive sensibility and demonstrated its reliability. The classifiers also showed potential in predicting mental states, with implications for developing objective markers for interoceptive sensibility in mental health research.

Summary: Interoception, the representation of the body's internal state, is important for emotion, motivation, and wellbeing. The neural mechanisms of interoceptive attention are not well understood. A novel neuroimaging paradigm called the Interoceptive/Exteroceptive Attention Task (IEAT) was used to study interoceptive attention. The study found that active interoception deactivated certain brain regions and greater self-reported interoceptive sensibility predicted less deactivation in specific regions. The results suggest that interoceptive attention involves reduced cortical activity but greater connectivity between the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and other brain regions.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of online mindfulness booster sessions on the acquisition of mindfulness skills and the promotion of well-being in undergraduate students. The results showed that the booster sessions significantly increased the participants' ability to decenter from self and were positively associated with positive emotion regulation. This study demonstrates the importance of continuing mindfulness practice in cultivating the ability to decenter from self.

Summary: This article reviews the possible mechanisms by which traumatic brain injury (TBI) may stimulate the development of opioid use disorder (OUD) and discusses the interaction between these two processes. CNS damage due to TBI appears to drive adverse effects of subsequent OUD, with pain being a risk factor for opioid use after TBI.
