In the context of integrative psychiatry, neurotheology offers an intriguing intermediary between understanding how spirituality and religion affect brain function, and how this might be related to changes in mental health.Recent findings: A number of research studies over the years have observed that religious and spiritual beliefs, practices, and experiences can have a profound impact on a person's psyche. Many times, the effects are positive leading to lower depression, anxiety and distress. However, there are times that religion and spirituality can lead to negative beliefs and behaviors. Neurotheology seeks to understand both the positive and negative effects of religion and spirituality on mental health from a brain perspective. In addition, neurotheology offers important philosophical insights into the nature of the human mind and how we perceive the reality around us. This review evaluates these many topics as it considers how neurotheology can have practical applications with regard to integrative psychiatry.","PeriodicalId":11057,"journal":{"name":"Current Psychiatry Reports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142926902","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}

The aim of this review is to report on outcomes of clinical trials for psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy for adults with depression and MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for adults with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and discuss recommendations for exploring these treatments in adolescent populations.Recent findings: There have been encouraging data supporting the use of psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy for depression, including previously treatment-resistant symptoms. MDMA-assisted psychotherapy is showing similar promise in treating PTSD, with excellent response and remission rates that appear durable. However, no studies have looked at the use of these treatments in younger patients. The safety and efficacy of psychedelic- and MDMA-assisted psychotherapies should be investigated in adolescents, especially considering the burden of untreated and undertreated psychiatric illness in youth, and the benefits of a potentially earlier, more effective, and more tolerable recovery process. Research and implementation should be tailored to the needs of this population, and equity and access should be considered at every stage. In this novel and rapidly evolving landscape, the psychiatric community is encouraged to advocate for safe, appropriate, and inclusive inquiry into, and application and scaling of these treatment models in adolescent patients.","PeriodicalId":11057,"journal":{"name":"Current Psychiatry Reports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142852953","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}

This selective review focuses on issues especially relevant to outpatient management.Recent findings: People with OABD may have similar frequency and severity of mood episodes compared to younger adults. Depression predominates, and mixed symptoms in both depressive and manic episodes are common. Comorbidity and excess mortality are high, with a particular bidirectional association with cerebrovascular disease. Lithium may outperform valproic acid and second-generation antipsychotics in efficacy. Tolerability and long-term safety can be improved with relatively lower target drug therapeutic levels. Outpatient clinicians treating OABD should take an active role in the recognition and management of medical comorbidities. A careful history and examination might reveal subtle signs of bipolar disorder or mixed features and change treatment. A primary target for treatment is to reduce polypharmacy when appropriate. Further trials are needed to make specific and clear recommendations in OABD.","PeriodicalId":11057,"journal":{"name":"Current Psychiatry Reports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142821790","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}

Following PRISMA guidelines, the study examines psychological autopsy studies with suicide deaths and identified PDs. Inclusion criteria encompass studies using the psychological autopsy method, reporting PD diagnosis and suicide deaths, in English language and with no temporal restrictions. The search strategy, conducted in PubMed and Embase until December 2nd, 2023, utilized specific terms related to suicide, PD, and psychological autopsy. Quality assessment using the Newcastle Ottawa-Scale for case-control studies was employed.Recent findings: 56 psychological autopsy studies were included in the systematic review, revealing a prevalence of PDs among suicide deaths, and emphasizing their role as significant suicide risk factors. The review underscores the impact of comorbid PDs and Axis I disorders on suicide risk, particularly if additional stressors are present. Gender differences in PD prevalence are noted, with impulsivity and alcohol abuse identified as universal risk factors. Despite extensive global data collection, limitations include potential methodological variations and biases inherent in psychological autopsy studies. This study, registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022322359), contributes essential insights into the prevalence, characteristics, and risk factors of PDs among suicide deaths.","PeriodicalId":11057,"journal":{"name":"Current Psychiatry Reports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142812670","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 examine existing interventions and highlight lesser-known yet impactful strategies, such as incorporating appropriate training in medical education on firearm safety. Additionally, we explore the broader impacts of firearm violence on community mental health and address the disputed topic of whether mental illness is a driving factor behind mass shootings.Recent findings: The rate of firearm suicides has continued to grow in the United States, even as firearm homicides have slightly declined. While the media often attributes mass shootings to the perpetrator having a mental illness, research indicates such symptoms only account for a small subset of shooters. Recent studies highlight the benefits of incorporating firearm safety into professional medical education, which can reduce barriers for healthcare providers when discussing safe storage practices with patients. While suicide risk is frequently assessed among individuals with mental illnesses due to their heightened risk, other factors should be considered by all clinicians, not just those in mental health. Similarly, certain mental health symptoms may play a role in a small fraction of gun violence, but other risk factors account for most violence risk. Despite the implementation of firearm restriction laws and increased access to mental health resources, gaps remain that must be addressed to reduce not only the rate of suicide by firearm, but also the mental burden the aftermath has on the community.","PeriodicalId":11057,"journal":{"name":"Current Psychiatry Reports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142812669","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}
