Older adults with insomnia who are exposed to inflammatory challenge may be more vulnerable to depression.ObjectiveTo determine whether inflammatory exposure induces greater increases in depressive mood and symptoms in older adults with insomnia disorder compared to those without insomnia.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis assessor-blinded, parallel-condition randomized clinical trial was conducted from August 2017 to November 2022 at a single site in Los Angeles, California, among a community-based sample of 160 nondepressed adults aged 60 years or older (53 with insomnia disorder and 107 without insomnia, or control). Data analysis occurred from July 2023 to August 2024.InterventionsParticipant groups stratified by insomnia status were randomized to 2 conditions: endotoxin or placebo.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcome was depressed mood, assessed by the Profiles of Mood States depression subscale (POMS-D). Secondary outcomes were depressive symptom severity and inflammatory cytokines.ResultsAmong 160 randomized participants eligible for the study (mean [SD] age, 65.9 [4.6] years; 84 female participants [52.5%]), 79 participants (26 with insomnia, 53 control participants) were randomized to endotoxin and 81 (27 with insomnia, 54 control participants) to placebo. All randomized participants completed the protocol. Compared to placebo, endotoxin induced increases in POMS-D to a significantly greater extent in those with insomnia than controls (condition × group interaction, F10,1478 = 4.7; P < .001), with a similar effect for observer-rated POMS-D mood (condition × group interaction, F3,450 = 5.5; P = .001), as well as clinically meaningful increases in observer-rated measures of depressive symptoms. Endotoxin induced similar increases in inflammatory cytokines in both groups. Moderation analyses found that the inflammatory response was associated with increases in POMS-D in the insomnia group (β = 0.33; 95% CI, 0.26-0.41; P < .001) but not in control participants.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this randomized clinical trial, older adults with insomnia showed an exaggerated vulnerability to depressive mood and symptoms in response to inflammatory challenge. Older adults with insomnia should undergo vigilant depression monitoring during periods of inflammatory exposure; selective depression prevention strategies that target both insomnia and inflammatory phenotypes are needed.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03256760.","PeriodicalId":14800,"journal":{"name":"JAMA Psychiatry","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":25.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144640154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We review rates of mental health symptoms and disorders in abortion-seeking individuals, those who are denied care, and those who are subject to laws restricting care. We also cover how these effects are experienced by those in marginalized communities, including rural populations and those of limited financial resources, and how resulting distress affects children born to those denied abortions. Finally, we review the current and shifting legal landscape and how it affects clinicians aiming to care for those experiencing mental health sequelae from the denial of abortion care.Conclusions and RelevanceThere is an urgent need for research on strategies to manage psychiatric disorders associated with restricted reproductive health services. The health of the mother is a critical element in fetal and infant well-being.

Additional unpublished data from 11 RCTs were included. A random-effects meta-analysis was conducted to calculate standardized mean difference between individuals who discontinued an antidepressant vs those who continued an antidepressant or discontinued placebo. A proportion and odds ratio (OR) meta-analysis was performed to assess incidence of individual discontinuation symptoms compared to placebo. Subgroup analyses were conducted to compare different antidepressants. Data analysis was conducted between September 2024 and December 2024.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcomes were incidence and nature of antidepressant discontinuation symptoms measured using standardized or unstandardized scales.ResultsA total of 50 studies were included, 49 of which were included in meta-analyses. The 50 studies included 17 828 participants in total, with 66.9% female participants and mean participant age of 44 years. Follow-up was between 1 day and 52 weeks.

Current findings suggest that immune-related pathophysiological processes involving inflammation could play a key role for many major mental illnesses. How far reaching this role would be and how soon we can expect translation into treatment, however, remain open questions.ObservationsIn this narrative review, new evidence from clinical populations, new trials, and preclinical models was summarized. Converging evidence suggests that inflammation plays a significant role in subgroups of patients with psychosis, depression, and autism. Interleukin (IL) 6, T-cell control, immune-metabolic function, and the complement system represent fundamental areas of further research. New treatments have yet to reach clinical impact, but targeted trials are ongoing. Developing and refining human cellular models will aid mechanistic target validation and further understanding of causal pathways and networks.Conclusions and RelevanceTo advance to and achieve clinical impact, investigations need to include a collaborative, united effort, pulling information across disciplines and translational scales.
