APPs receive substantially fewer supervised clinical hours in training than psychiatrists. Current literature suggests that APPs report perceived feelings of inadequacy in their initial practice years, reinforcing the need for structured supervision and post-graduate training programs. Standardized best practices for APP supervision remain largely undefined. The authors critically examined recent literature related to APP practice in psychiatry and provide recommendations for a multi-tiered supervision model, ongoing competency assessments and quality monitoring, and organizational oversight to support successful integration of APPs into psychiatric practice. Future research and evaluation should focus on assessing the efficacy of supervision strategies and their impact on APP clinical outcomes.","PeriodicalId":11057,"journal":{"name":"Current Psychiatry Reports","volume":" ","pages":"457-463"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144173018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We review research on communication-related outcomes, as well as four communication topics frequently cited as important to autistic people (literal and non-literal language, augmentative and alternative communication, nonverbal communication, and double empathy).Recent findings: A substantial proportion of autistic adults do not develop fluent language by adulthood. Autistic adults frequently experience communication barriers impacting relationships, employment, and health. These barriers arise from multiple sources (e.g., language, nonverbal communication, and unaccommodating environments and communication partners). Thus, it is essential to take a multifaceted approach to supporting autistic adults to ensure their communication success. We conclude that it is vital for clinicians and researchers to understand how autistic traits commonly manifest in adults and to accept and accommodate communication differences as they arise. To that end, we offer specific recommendations to help clinicians and researchers strengthen their interactions with the autistic people in their lives.","PeriodicalId":11057,"journal":{"name":"Current Psychiatry Reports","volume":" ","pages":"471-481"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12271282/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144368648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We explore recent evidence across categories of anxiety-related disorders, focusing on the advantages and limitations of VR as a means of delivering exposure therapy. Finally, we propose recommendations for incorporating VR in current clinical practice and areas for future innovation.Recent findings: VR-based exposure therapy (VRET) is the dominant application of VR for anxiety-related disorders. Growing evidence shows that it is a well-accepted intervention that is superior to waitlist conditions, especially for phobias, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder; however, more investigation is needed into how VRET compares to conventional treatment modalities. Recent innovations include successful self-directed VRET programs, augmenting VRET with neuromodulation, and beginning exploration of therapeutic processes in the delivery of VRET. Notable limitations include limited comparison to standard treatment and lack of standardization of VRET protocol, which limits translatability. VRET shows promise in enhancing treatment models for anxiety-related disorders, but uniformization of software and delivery protocols will be a key next step.","PeriodicalId":11057,"journal":{"name":"Current Psychiatry Reports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144658605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, features varied across interventions (i.e., duration, peer involvement, delivery format, setting). Programs that teach adolescents cognitive or behavioral strategies to engage with social media in a healthy manner appear to be more effective at improving long-term well-being than interventions that completely restrict social media use or warn adolescents of its negative effects. Tailoring interventions to the specific contextual factors salient to an individual or group may maximize the effectiveness and long-term impact of reducing PMSU and improving overall well-being.

Pathophysiological mechanisms like hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis dysregulation and chronic inflammation contribute significantly.

Meanwhile, in contrast to the past when colleges were mostly immune to liability for harm to students, a major shift occurred with the courts beginning to recognize colleges as having a legally defined \"special relationship\" to protect students from foreseeable harm. Recently, court cases in many states have expanded the circumstances under which colleges have a responsibility to protect students from themselves and from each other, and to foster students' mental health. The past few years have constituted a changing landscape for colleges with regard to their legal responsibilities related to student mental health. As college students experienced worsening mental health distress, recent court cases increased colleges' liability to ensure safety and create a supportive environment for students' mental health.","PeriodicalId":11057,"journal":{"name":"Current Psychiatry Reports","volume":" ","pages":"450-455"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12278051/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143977950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite its strong evidence, it is rarely delivered in routine clinical settings. A growing body of literature has identified factors that impede delivery of exposure therapy and strategies that can increase its use.

Clinician training and organizational policies need to directly address multi-level barriers to support clinicians in using exposure. Technology-related considerations (e.g., virtual reality, telehealth) should be considered and clinicians should receive support from others (e.g., bachelor's-level providers; family peer navigators) to address increasing rates of anxiety disorders.","PeriodicalId":11057,"journal":{"name":"Current Psychiatry Reports","volume":" ","pages":"417-428"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143986256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many apps do not contain scientifically based content and do not adequately incorporate the principles of exposure-based cognitive behavioral therapy. In addition, many apps have significant deficiencies in age-appropriateness, data security, privacy, cultural sensitivity, and accessibility. Limitations remain in terms of the standards for evaluating apps in pediatric populations. While interest in mHealth applications for childhood anxiety disorders is increasing, more research is needed to develop effective, safe, and age-appropriate digital interventions. Priorities include scientific grounding, privacy, equitable access, gamification, and parental involvement.
