Question
Collective evidence for the bidirectional association between depression and autoimmune diseases (ADs) is scarce, especially for subgroups of patients with specific ADs. We conducted a meta-analysis to determine the incidence rates and relative risks (RRs) of depression among patients...
Objective
This paper investigates how state-of-the-art generative artificial intelligence (AI) image models represent common psychiatric diagnoses. We offer key lessons derived from these representations to inform clinicians, researchers, generative AI companies, policymakers and the public about the potential impacts of...
Background

Introduction
Advancing research and support for neurologically diverse populations requires novel data harmonisation methods that are capable of aligning with contemporary approaches to understanding health and disability.
ObjectivesWe present the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) as a conceptual...
Background
Research has revealed associations between microbes of the gastrointestinal tract and stress, anxiety and depression in pregnant or postpartum women. While these studies suggest a gut-brain-behaviour axis, no studies have examined microbes of the oral cavity in relation to...
Question
The optimal dose of lurasidone for bipolar depression is unclear. This study examined its dose–response relationship for efficacy, acceptability, and metabolic/endocrine profiles.
Study selection and analysisFive databases and grey literature published until 1 August 2024, were systematically reviewed. The outcomes...
Background
Available empirical evidence on participant-level factors associated with dropout from psychotherapies for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is both limited and inconclusive. More comprehensive understanding of the various factors that contribute to study dropout from cognitive-behavioural therapy with a trauma...
Advancing adolescent health research necessitates deliberate design and analysis that accurately captures the rapidly evolving world in which adolescents live and the ways in which they understand and express themselves and their experiences. In this Perspective, we reflect on...
Background

ObjectivesThis study examined the economic impact...
Background
In 2021, an estimated 43% of the world's population had been diagnosed with a neurological disorder. Early life stress (ELS) is now a well-established risk factor for later-life neurological disorders. However, translation to clinical practice is hindered by oversimplification,...
