The study aimed to recognize the most prevalent profiles of depressive symptoms and assess their dynamics in young adults without a history of psychiatric treatment. Depressive symptoms were recorded using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). The data were assessed for all theoretical and empirical combinations of depressive symptoms in participants with a positive screening for depression. The profiles identified in the majority of participants were analyzed using partial correlation and Bayesian networks. Data from 3583 individuals with a positive screening for depression were analyzed. Out of 382 theoretical profiles, 150 profiles (39.3%) were present in this dataset. The majority of participants (56.8%) showed 4 profiles of depressive symptoms including the profile with all depressive symptoms present, the profile without suicidal ideation, the profile without psychomotor impairment, and the profile without both psychomotor impairment and suicidal ideation. The profiles differed largely in terms of their dynamics and symptoms that are necessary to activate the whole network. The network characteristics within specific profiles did not differ significantly across the level of difficulties attributable to depressive symptoms. Our findings indicate that depression emerging in young adults shows a limited number of symptom profiles. However, dynamics of depressive symptoms differs largely between specific profiles regardless of functional impairment indicating the need to personalize therapeutic approaches. Future studies should further disentangle the heterogeneity of depressive symptoms, e.g., by dissecting the symptoms that are combined together by single PHQ-9 items (i.e., hypersomnia and insomnia; psychomotor agitation and retardation).</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16868,"journal":{"name":"Journal of psychiatric research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022395624005259/pdfft?md5=9088895dbd41cea0ad2391bfa03d8653&pid=1-s2.0-S0022395624005259-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142163169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Associative memory (AM) is a core indicator that reflects memory impairment in ECT. This study aimed to identify the dynamic trajectory of AM impairment and explore associated predictive factors. 405 intensive longitudinal AM data from 81 patients with MDE were collected at the baseline, after the first, third, fifth, and eighth ECT using five sets of face-cued word memory paradigms. Changes in AM score over time were analyzed using a linear mixed effects model. Trajectory subgroups and predictive factors were investigated using growth mixture model and logistic regression. AM score during ECT were significantly lower than at baseline, with the lowest scores observed after the eighth ECT session. Two trajectories of rapid (N = 56, 69.14%) and slow (N = 25, 30.86%) AM impairment were differentiated. Older female with lower education level were significant predictors contributing to more rapid memory impairment for ECT. The evolving pattern of associative memory impairment during ECT appears to occur early and worsen with subsequent treatment. This study may provide the important evidence understanding of the number effect of ECT sessions on memory impairment and suggest individual factors for predicting ECT memory outcome.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16868,"journal":{"name":"Journal of psychiatric research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142163167","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 reduction in the Na,K-ATPase (NKA) enzyme activity and the inability of individuals with BD to produce endogenous ouabain (EO) at sufficient levels to stimulate this enzyme during stressful events are factors proposed for BD etiology. According to these hypotheses, reduction in NKA activity would result in altered neuronal resting potential, leading to BD symptoms. Recently, damage to the adrenals (EO synthesis site) in coronavirus disease (COVID-19) patients has been reported, however studies pointing to the pathophysiological mechanisms shared by these two diseases are scarce. Through a literature review, this study aims to correlate COVID-19 and BD, focusing on the role of NKA and EO to identify possible mechanisms for the worsening of BD due to COVID-19. The search in the PubMed database for the descriptors (“bipolar disorder” AND “Na,K-ATPase”), (“bipolar disorder” AND “endogenous ouabain”), (“covid-19” AND “bipolar disorder”) and (“covid-19” AND “adrenal gland”) resulted in 390 articles. The studies identified the adrenals as a vulnerable organ to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Cases of adrenal damage in patients with COVID-19 showing lower levels of adrenal hormones were reported. Cases of COVID-19 patients with symptoms of mania were reported worldwide. Given these results, we propose that adrenal cortical cell damage could lead to EO deficiency following neuronal NKA activity impairment, with small reductions in activity leading to mania and greater reductions leading to depression.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16868,"journal":{"name":"Journal of psychiatric research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022395624004904/pdfft?md5=a60f835deca312a78a66273d818866bf&pid=1-s2.0-S0022395624004904-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142163166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
