Summary: Binge eating disorder (BED) is a public health problem in multiple countries, often associated with comorbidities such as obesity, diabetes, and depression. Despite the availability of effective treatments, evidence-based psychological therapies for BED are not widely used by healthcare professionals worldwide. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is highlighted as an effective treatment for BED, which can be combined with weight management interventions or pharmacotherapy.

Summary: Task-based brain signal variability has been found to be the most reliable indicator for predicting treatment outcomes of psychiatric disorders, outperforming self-reports and other neural measures. This suggests that moment-to-moment fMRI signal variability may serve as a prognostic indicator for clinical outcomes.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of inpatient cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) on quality of life (QoL) in patients with anxiety disorders and depressive disorders. The results showed that improvements in psychological and physical QoL were strongly correlated with reductions in anxious and depressive symptoms. Poor QoL before treatment and low levels of specific anxiety sensitivity symptoms significantly predicted improvements in QoL.

Summary: This study provides an overview of systematic reviews and meta-analyses on psychosocial treatments for panic disorder (PD). The majority of the included reviews support cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) as an effective treatment for PD among adults. However, the methodological quality of most reviews is rated as critically low. Future research should focus on improving methodological quality and comparing CBT with other psychosocial treatments.

Summary: This study evaluated the comparative efficacy and acceptability of different delivery formats of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) for panic disorder. The findings suggest that face-to-face group, face-to-face individual, and guided self-help are superior to treatment as usual in terms of efficacy, while unguided self-help is not. There were no significant differences in acceptability between different CBT delivery formats.

Summary: By utilizing a standardized EBT protocol in patients with panic disorder and agoraphobia, researchers observed reductions in avoidance behavior and fear, indicating a relationship between fear reduction and treatment outcome. However, residual fear was still present in patients during final assessments, suggesting limited transfer effects of exposure-based therapy to non-trained everyday contexts.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the Overall Anxiety Severity and Impairment Scale (OASIS) and disorder-specific instruments in internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) for anxiety disorders. The results showed a clear and relatively stable association between OASIS and disorder-specific symptom measures, suggesting that OASIS could be used as an outcome measurement instrument in both disorder-specific and transdiagnostic iCBT programs for anxiety disorders.

Summary: In this study, parent reinforcement and relationship behaviors were found to moderate the anxiety outcome of youths receiving cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT). Parents with high levels of negative reinforcement and acceptance reported lower anxiety levels in their children when assigned to CBT with parent reinforcement-behavior training or CBT with parent relationship-behavior training, compared to CBT alone. However, there were no moderation effects for parent positive reinforcement or parent psychological control.

Summary: The study found that individuals with high levels of depression before treatment had greater reductions in social anxiety symptoms during treatment, but these effects were not significant at follow-up. Individual cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and internet-delivered CBT were more effective for patients with severe depressive symptoms, while pharmacotherapy and group CBT did not show the same association.

Summary: This study compares the efficacy and acceptability of psychotherapies, pharmaco-therapies, and their combinations for treating insomnia. The results suggest that cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is more beneficial in improving subjective sleep efficiency compared to pharmacotherapy. However, pharmacotherapy may be more effective in improving certain sleep parameters. Combining CBT-I with pharmacotherapy appears to be more effective in improving sleep parameters compared to pharmacotherapy alone.

Summary: This study found differences between patients with gambling disorder (GD) with and without self-reported ADHD symptoms in terms of psychopathology, personality, and treatment outcomes. Patients with self-reported ADHD symptoms were more severe in their GD and experienced more severe relapses following treatment. Therefore, more vigilant follow-up and interventions are needed for patients with this comorbidity.

Summary: The study found that cognitive behavioral therapy plays a significant role in the treatment of major depressive disorder by improving brain connectivity between the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) and hippocampus. Further research on the pathophysiology of the dlPFC is needed to better understand these abnormalities in patients with depressive symptoms and the effect of early CBT treatment.

Summary: The study found that mental disorders are quite common in patients with PAH and have a significant impact on their quality of life. Adjustment disorder, major depression, and panic disorder are the most common mental illnesses among these patients. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale can be used as a screening tool for common mental health disorders.

Summary: This study pooled data from six longitudinal studies and found five trajectories of PTSD symptoms, with over 30% of civilian injury survivors experiencing moderate-to-high levels of symptoms within the first post-trauma year. Female gender, non-white race, prior interpersonal trauma, and assaultive injuries were associated with increased risk for initial PTSD reactions, while certain demographic characteristics and history of trauma were associated with different PTSD trajectories.

Summary: Individuals with PTSD showed passive time-moving outlook towards the future, while healthy controls exhibited active ego-moving perspective. These findings may have implications for the conceptualization and treatment of PTSD.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate whether self-reported history of depression is associated with a smaller decrease in CRP levels among patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI). The findings showed a significant association between depression history and a smaller decrease in CRP risk categories and log CRP levels over time. This highlights the importance of further research on whether reducing inflammation in MI patients with a history of depression can improve prognosis.

Summary: This study experimentally investigated whether childhood maltreatment (CM) is associated with larger comfortable interpersonal distance (CIPD) and whether different subtypes of CM have varying effects on CIPD. The results showed that adults with CM had a larger CIPD than the control group, and CIPD was largest in those with CM and current depressive symptoms. Among the CM group without depressive symptoms, emotional abuse was the only subtype associated with larger CIPD. The findings suggest that different subtypes of CM may have differential long-term socio-emotional consequences.

Summary: Altered intrinsic brain connectivity was observed in patients with severe anorexia nervosa during the acute phase of the disorder and did not recover during weight normalization. This study used functional imaging data to examine longitudinal changes in intrinsic connectivity patterns in 27 women with severe anorexia nervosa. The findings suggest sustained alterations of information processing in weight-recovered severe anorexia nervosa.
