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. Individuals who are forced to continue an unwanted pregnancy deserve the social and resource support required to deliver healthy infants who can be raised in an environment that allows the family to thrive.","PeriodicalId":14800,"journal":{"name":"JAMA Psychiatry","volume":"108 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":25.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144640155","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}

Additional unpublished data from 11 RCTs were included.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.

On \"genetic maps\" of SZ FGRS, BD FGRS, and MD FGRS, DD stood alone with approximately half the genetic risk for SZ compared with SZ cases and similar levels of BD and MD risk. SAD was also distinct as the only disorder with quite high genetic risks for both SZ and BD and was clearly separable from psychotic BD. AP and PNOS had similar genetic profiles with levels of SZ FGRS similar to DD but higher levels of genetic risk for BD and MD. Subdividing psychoses by outcome produced minimal effects on the DD genetic profile, moderate effects on AP and PNOS, and large effects on SAD, with good social outcomes associated with decreased SZ FGRS and increased BD FGRS.Conclusions and RelevanceIn a Swedish population, none of the 4 disorders appeared, from a genetic perspective, to be subtypes of SZ, BD, or MD.

Trajectories and associated mental health symptoms across development remain poorly understood.ObjectiveTo describe trajectories of suicidal ideation from early adolescence to young adulthood and identify preceding and co-occurring mental health symptoms to inform optimal prevention.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cohort study used data from a contemporary, longitudinal cohort study, the Québec Longitudinal Study of Child Development (QLSCD), including reports from participants, parents, and teachers. The QLSCD is a population-based birth cohort study of 2120 singletons born between 1997 and 1998 in Québec, Canada, and followed up to age 25 years (2023). Data were analyzed from September 2024 to February 2025.Main Outcomes and MeasuresSerious suicidal ideation in the past 12 months was assessed by a question to participants at ages 13, 15, 17, 20, 23, and 25 years.ExposuresMental health symptoms (eg, internalizing, externalizing) as reported by parents, teachers, and self-reports on validated questionnaires and standardized across 5 developmental periods: preschool (3-5 years), childhood (6-12 years), early adolescence (13 years), mid-late adolescence (15-17 years), and young adulthood (20-25 years).ResultsA total of 1635 participants (845 female [51.7%]; participant number is weighted to account for selective attrition) provided answers on suicidal ideation, with survey weights applied. A total of 3 trajectories were identified: minimal/no ideation (1433 [87.6%]), onset in early adolescence (117 [7.1%]), and onset in young adulthood (86 [5.2%]). Relative to minimal/no ideation, onset in early adolescence was associated with elevated symptoms across nearly all mental health indicators from childhood through adulthood. This included both internalizing (eg, childhood depressive symptoms: risk ratio [RR], 1.75; 95% CI, 1.45-2.05) and externalizing (eg, childhood disruptive symptoms: RR, 1.60; 95% CI, 1.29-1.91) symptoms and maternal antisocial symptoms (RR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.11-1.66). In contrast, onset of suicidal ideation in young adulthood was associated with internalizing symptoms (eg, mid-late adolescence depressive symptoms: RR, 1.84; 95% CI, 1.28-2.39) emerging in adolescence and worsening mental distress in young adulthood.Conclusions and RelevanceResults of this cohort study revealed 2 pathways to suicidal ideation: onset in early adolescence, with persistent childhood internalizing/externalizing symptoms, and onset in young adulthood linked to internalizing symptoms emerging in adolescence without prior distress.

It is essential for CM protocols implemented in clinical care to use efficacious, research-supported parameters, including incentive magnitude.Evidence ReviewThis review included 112 published CM protocols that involved reinforcement of stimulant- and/or opioid-negative urine drug tests, categorized each protocol in terms of impact (small/medium/large effect size) relative to a non-CM comparator condition, and computed weekly inflation-adjusted incentive magnitudes for voucher- and prize-based CM protocols.FindingsDrawn from protocols with medium to large impacts on patient outcomes, weekly median magnitude estimates are $128/week for voucher protocols and $55/week for prize protocols.
