Knowing which factors in which systems co-enable resilience to depression is crucial, but there is no comprehensive synthesis of the physiological, psychological, social, economic, institutional, cultural, and environmental system factors associated with no or minimal emerging adult depression, or combinations of these factors. We have therefore conducted a preregistered systematic review (Prospero, CRD42023440153). We searched eight databases for observational studies reporting factors associated with depression symptomology that is mild, minimal, or absent among emerging adults with exposure to risk factors for depression; independently screened titles, abstracts, and full texts; extracted data; and assessed study quality. From 1824 unique citations, we included 139 papers (N=17721; in study populations that are majority female, cisgender, and in North America) and conducted a multisystemic resilience-informed narrative synthesis and quantitative summary. Personal (eg, psychological resilience and positive cognition) or social factors (eg, social support and family support) were frequently linked to reduced depression symptomology, followed by combinations of these. Economic, institutional, cultural, and environmental factors, or combinations of factors from three or more systems, were rarely reported. Low-income and middle-income countries, in which most young people live, were under-represented, which suggests inadequate understanding of emerging adult resilience to depression. Future studies should include more diverse populations and redress the tendency to reduce resilience to depression to a psychological or limited social phenomenon.","PeriodicalId":48784,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Psychiatry","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":64.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143806248","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}

This trial aimed to evaluate the short-term efficacy and safety of brexpiprazole in adolescents with schizophrenia.<h3>Methods</h3>This multicountry, randomised, double-blind, parallel-arm, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial with an active reference was done at 62 outpatient sites in ten countries. Eligible patients were aged 13–17 years with a primary DSM-5 diagnosis of schizophrenia and a Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score ≥80 at screening and baseline. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1:1) to oral brexpiprazole 2–4 mg/day, placebo, or aripiprazole 10–20 mg/day (active reference). Patients, investigators, and sponsor personnel were masked to treatment assignment. The primary efficacy endpoint was change from baseline to week 6 in PANSS total score (in randomly assigned patients who took at least one dose of study drug and had baseline and post-baseline PANSS evaluations).

The mean age of patients was 15·3 years (SD 1·5). 166 (53%) of 316 patients were female and 150 (47%) were male.

We aimed to compare the effects of pharmacological treatments for ADHD on haemodynamic values and electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters in children, adolescents, and adults.<h3>Methods</h3>For this systematic review and network meta-analysis, we searched 12 electronic databases, including Cochrane CENTRAL, Embase, PubMed, and the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, from database inception to Jan 18, 2024, for published and unpublished randomised controlled trials comparing amphetamines, atomoxetine, bupropion, clonidine, guanfacine, lisdexamfetamine, methylphenidate, modafinil, or viloxazine against each other or placebo. Primary outcomes were change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), measured in mm Hg, and pulse, measured in beats per minute, at timepoints closest to 12 weeks, 26 weeks, and 52 weeks. Summary data were extracted and pooled in random-effects network meta-analyses. Certainty of evidence was assessed with the Confidence in Network Meta-Analysis (CINeMA) framework. This study was registered with PROSPERO, CRD42021295352.

Amphetamines, atomoxetine, lisdexamfetamine, methylphenidate, and viloxazine led to increments in haemodynamic values in children and adolescents, adults, or both. In children and adolescents, mean increase against placebo ranged from 1·07 (95% CI 0·36–1·79; moderate CINeMA confidence) with atomoxetine to 1·81 (1·05–2·57; moderate) with methylphenidate for SBP; from 1·93 (0·74–3·11; high) with amphetamines to 2·42 (1·69–3·15; low) with methylphenidate for DBP; and from 2·79 (1·05–4·53; moderate) with viloxazine to 5·58 (4·67–6·49; high) with atomoxetine for pulse.

The model framed addiction as a chronic and relapsing brain disease caused by structural and functional brain alterations. The purpose of this model was purportedly dual, as both an aetiological theory and a tool to reduce stigma. Weak empirical support and concerns about the model downplaying fundamental psychosocial causes of SUDs have led to stark disagreement as to whether addiction should be conceptualised as a brain disease. In this Personal View, we argue that the absence of an agreed, clear, and consistent definition of a brain disease—coupled with frequent recourse to concepts with divergent or shifting meaning—have obstructed productive debate and a coherent advance in knowledge and understanding of addiction. Borrowing from the philosophy of psychiatry, we show that both narrow and broad views of brain disease coexist and inform addiction research, though often implicitly and inconsistently. The narrow view of brain disease posits that a mental condition qualifies as a brain disease only if it manifests similarly to a paradigmatic brain disease, resulting from either known or unknown structural and functional damage. The broad view of brain disease suggests that brain disease status should be granted automatically to mental disorders, as all mental activity resides in the brain. We examine theoretical assumptions, empirical evidence, and treatment implications for each view and propose ways of moving beyond them.","PeriodicalId":48784,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Psychiatry","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":64.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143703289","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}
