Antidepressants exert an influence on measures of gut microbial diversity. The most consistently reported differences were in β-diversity between those exposed to antidepressants and those not exposed, with longitudinal studies supporting a potential causal association. Compositional alterations in antidepressant users include an increase in the Bacteroidetes phylum, Christensenellaceae family, and Bacteroides and Clostridium genera, while a decrease was found in the Firmicutes phylum, Ruminococcaceae family, and Ruminococcus genus. In addition, antidepressants attenuate gut microbial differences between depressed and healthy individuals, modulate microbial serotonin transport, and influence microbiota's metabolic functions. These include lyxose degradation, peptidoglycan maturation, membrane transport, and methylerythritol phosphate pathways, alongside gamma-aminobutyric acid metabolism. Importantly, baseline increased α-diversity and abundance of the Roseburia and Faecalibacterium genera, in the Firmicutes phylum, are associated with antidepressant response, emerging as promising biomarkers. This review highlights the potential for gut microbiota as a predictor of treatment response and emphasizes the need for further research to elucidate the mechanisms underlying antidepressant-microbiota interactions. More homogeneous studies and standardized techniques are required to confirm these initial findings.","PeriodicalId":13698,"journal":{"name":"International Clinical Psychopharmacology","volume":"40 1","pages":"3-26"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11594561/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142768517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dissociative symptoms are common side effects during treatment sessions. We report a case of delayed spontaneous dissociative symptoms following esketamine administration. A 20-year-old female with treatment-resistant depression received esketamine treatment. Dissociative symptoms occurred during sessions and persisted at a distance, often accompanied by anxiety. Delayed dissociative phenomena disappeared within the fourth week of treatment by esketamine. The literature mainly discusses dissociation during esketamine treatment sessions, with limited data on differed spontaneous episodes. Three hypotheses are discussed concerning the mechanism of occurrence of these dissociative phenomena, including esketamine's direct effect, central nervous system sensitization, and anxiety-induced dissociation. We present the first case of differed spontaneous dissociative effects after intranasal esketamine administration for treatment-resistant depression. Our main hypothesis suggests that esketamine may act as a 'pattern' for dissociative experiences, heightening the patient's ability to discern these phenomena during other instances of dissociation, such as acute anxiety attacks. Further research is needed to validate this hypothesis.","PeriodicalId":13698,"journal":{"name":"International Clinical Psychopharmacology","volume":" ","pages":"37-40"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139566334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Post hoc analyses evaluated pooled data from 2 fixed-dose phase 3 cariprazine studies (1.5 and 3 mg/d [approved doses for MDD]). In a separate safety analysis, cariprazine 0.1-4.5 mg/d was evaluated using data from the 2 fixed-dose trials plus 3 flexible-dose studies grouped by modal-daily dose. In the pooled phase 3 studies (placebo = 503, 1.5 mg/d = 502, 3 mg/d = 503), overall cariprazine-treated patients had high rates of study completion (90%). Patients had mostly mild/moderate treatment-emergent adverse events that caused premature discontinuation of 4.3%. Only akathisia, nausea, and insomnia occurred in ≥5% of cariprazine patients (any group) and at twice the rate of placebo; potential dose-dependent responses were observed for akathisia and insomnia. Cariprazine had a neutral metabolic profile, with mean weight increase of <1 kg. Modal-dose results were similar, and both analyses were consistent with the known safety profile of cariprazine across its approved indications. Adjunctive cariprazine therapy was safe and generally well tolerated in patients with MDD who had not obtained an adequate response to ADT monotherapy; no new safety signals were identified.","PeriodicalId":13698,"journal":{"name":"International Clinical Psychopharmacology","volume":" ","pages":"27-36"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11594553/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139563327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of saffron on negative symptoms were investigated as it has shown neuroprotective and antipsychotic properties. Fifty-six clinically stable chronic schizophrenic outpatients were equally assigned to saffron 15 mg q12hr or placebo groups while continuing risperidone. The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) was used to assess schizophrenia-related symptoms in weeks 4 and 8. Also, the patients were assessed for the Hamilton depression rating scale (HDRS) and adverse effects. The baseline characteristics of the groups were comparable (Ps > 0.05). There were significant time-treatment interaction effects on negative ( = 0.137), general psychopathology ( = 0.193), and total ( = 0.113) PANSS scores. Affirmatively, their reductions were significantly greater in the saffron group until weeks 4 (Cohen's ds = 0.922, 0.898, and 0.759, respectively) and 8 (Cohen's ds = 0.850, 1.047, and 0.705, respectively).

FER is generally explored using photographs or images of static faces that do not fully capture the complexity of real-life facial stimuli. To overcome this limitation, we developed a set of dynamic virtual faces depicting six basic emotions (i.e. happiness, sadness, anger, fear, disgust, and surprise) and a neutral expression suitable for presentation in immersive and nonimmersive virtual realities. This study presents preliminary findings on the differences in FER accuracy from a frontal view between immersive and nonimmersive virtual realities among patients experiencing a relapse of schizophrenia (n = 10), a manic phase of BD (n = 10), and a group of healthy controls (HCs) (n = 10). As a secondary objective, we compare the FER accuracy across these three groups. Patients with schizophrenia and BD showed similar accuracy in recognizing emotions in immersive and nonimmersive virtual reality settings. However, patients with schizophrenia exhibited lower FER accuracy than HCs in both settings. Individuals with BD showed intermediate accuracy between those with schizophrenia and HCs, although these differences were not statistically significant. Notably, recognition of negative emotions was significantly impaired in both groups of patients.","PeriodicalId":13698,"journal":{"name":"International Clinical Psychopharmacology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142785531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Twenty-eight participants underwent the maintenance phase, while the remaining participants (n = 67) dropped out. The patients were randomized to use 50 mg/day of naltrexone or 225 mg/day of venlafaxine for 8 weeks.
