Most prior studies focused on first-episode or acute-phase schizophrenia patients, leaving the prevalence, determinants, and clinical correlates of HHcy in chronic schizophrenia understudied. This study aims to investigate the prevalence and determinants of HHcy in patients with chronic schizophrenia, as well as its clinical correlates. ​​METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 509 patients diagnosed with chronic schizophrenia, recruited from multiple psychiatric hospitals in China. Demographic, clinical, and lifestyle data were collected through structured interviews and medical record reviews. Blood samples were analyzed for homocysteine levels and other biochemical parameters. The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), and Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) were used to assess clinical symptoms and cognitive function. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent predictors of HHcy. RESULTS​​: ​​The prevalence of HHcy in the study population was 56.2%. Patients with HHcy were significantly older (mean age: 52.1 ± 12.2 years) and had a higher proportion of males (67.1%) compared to those without HHcy. The HHcy group exhibited milder positive and general psychopathology symptoms, as indicated by lower PANSS scores, revealing unexpected inverse associations with symptom severity. Elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), total bilirubin (TBIL), and creatine phosphokinase (CPK) were observed in the HHcy group. Binary logistic regression analysis identified female gender and older age as independent predictors of HHcy.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>​​This study highlights a high prevalence of HHcy in patients with chronic schizophrenia, associated with older age and male gender.

We examined associations among PLEs, clinical symptoms, and neural reward function during this critical developmental period. Over two-years, 117 adolescents (aged 13-19 years at baseline) at high-risk (n = 74) or low-risk (n = 43) for SMI based on family history of affective or psychotic disorder completed symptom questionnaires annually and fMRI scanning at study entry during a guessing reward task. We assessed changes in PLEs over two-years and evaluated whether clinical symptoms (anxiety, depression, anhedonia) and response to rewards of the dorsal medial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) and ventral striatum (VS) predicted PLEs two-years later. PLEs total scores and distress increased over time, with the high-risk group showing a greater rise in PLEs than the low-risk group. Heightened right VS neural activation and higher anxiety at baseline (but not left VS or dmPFC neural activation, depression, or anhedonia) predicted more PLEs at 24-months.

As a marker of affect regulation difficulties, alexithymia may heighten the risk and severity of MD, eating disorders, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Therefore, the general aim of the present study is to contribute to the study of MD in the general population, by examining potential associations between MD levels, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and affect regulation capabilities. Additionally, the study aims to examine whether alexithymia mediates the relationship between eating and obsessive-compulsive symptoms, respectively, and MD levels. 562 participants (mean age = 27.16 years; SD = 10.21; 68% females) completed an online survey comprising: a socio-demographic questionnaire, the Maladaptive Daydreaming Scale (MDS), the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), the Eating Attitude Test (EAT-26), and the Obsessional Beliefs Questionnaire (OBQ-44). MDS score was positively related to TAS-20 total, difficulties in identifying and describing feelings as well as with eating disorders and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Age showed a weak negative association with MDS. Regarding the mediation models, alexithymia significantly amplified the impact of eating/obsessive-compulsive symptoms on MD.
