Summary: Exercise combined with standard treatments leads to significantly greater antidepressant effects compared to standard treatment alone, especially for more severe patients. Sensitivity analyses confirmed the significant benefits, indicating that using exercise alongside standard treatments can enhance therapeutic efficacy for depression.

Summary: In the past 10 years, there has been a growing number of randomized trials examining the effects of transdiagnostic treatments for patients with depression or anxiety. This study conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis and found that transdiagnostic treatments are likely effective in the short term, although more research is needed to determine their long-term efficacy.

Summary: This study suggests that psychological interventions are likely effective in treating perinatal depression, with effects lasting at least 6-12 months. It may also have effects on social support, anxiety, functional impairments, parental stress, and marital stress. However, caution should be exercised due to high heterogeneity in the analysis.

Summary: Utilizing clinical risk factors to predict pharmacotherapy resistance and guide the prescription of pharmacotherapy combined with psychotherapy could be a cost-effective strategy, with CL-R showing better cost-effectiveness compared to PGx-CL-R in certain scenarios. The study suggests that using these predictors can help identify patients who are more likely to benefit from combined treatment, ultimately improving outcomes and reducing costs.

Summary: This study compared the efficacy and discontinuation of augmentation agents in adult patients with treatment-resistant depression through a systematic review and network meta-analyses. The findings suggest that certain adjunctive atypical antipsychotics, thyroid hormones, dopamine compounds, and lithium are superior in terms of efficacy. However, ziprasidone, mirtazapine, and cariprazine had higher discontinuation rates. Further research and head-to-head studies are needed to strengthen treatment options for treatment-resistant depression.

Summary: This meta-analysis revealed that psychotherapy in institutional settings has a significant small to moderate effect on depressive symptoms for patients with depression, which can be sustained at follow-up. There were no significant differences in effects across different types of institutional settings, although the number of studies was limited and many trials had high risk of bias.

Summary: Behavioral activation (BA) is a simple and effective therapy for depression that aims to increase positive interactions between individuals and their environment. Previous meta-analyses have focused on BA in groups and guided self-help, but this study examines BA in individual psychotherapy. The results show that individual BA has a large effect on distal treatment outcomes, making it a valuable and versatile therapy option.

Summary: This systematic review and network meta-analysis compared the effectiveness and acceptability of psychotherapies for late-life depression. The findings showed that all six psychotherapies were effective, with life review therapy being the most effective and acceptable option. However, the certainty of the evidence was mostly rated as low to very low.

Summary: Climate change may have an impact on mental health. A review of meta-analyses was conducted to explore the association between mental health and climate events, pollution, and green spaces. The results suggest a relationship between mental health and these factors, but more high-quality research is needed to confirm these associations.

Summary: This study examines the effectiveness of a peer-provided psychological intervention (PM+) in reducing symptoms of common mental disorders (CMDs) among Syrian refugees in the Netherlands. The findings suggest that PM+ has positive effects on reducing symptoms of depression/anxiety, depression, anxiety, PTSD symptoms, and self-identified problems among Syrian refugees, but its effectiveness in improving functional impairment is not significant.

Summary: Randomised controlled trials evaluating treatments for anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, and stress-related disorders often show significant placebo response rates in placebo groups. This study aimed to evaluate the placebo response across these disorders using a lifespan approach. The findings revealed a substantial placebo response in trials assessing the efficacy of SSRIs and SNRIs for these disorders, highlighting the importance of accurately interpreting the benefits of pharmacological agents compared to placebo response.
