Knowledge, attitudes, and practices about severe mental illness and willingness-to-pay for a new integrated care model across 6 European countries: a study protocol

Background People with Severe Mental Illness (SMI) experience a 15–20-year shorter life expectancy than the general population, with increased premature deaths from somatic illnesses, and twice to more than four times the general population’s all-cause mortality risk. Integrated care could potentially improve these out...

Melatonin system integrity shapes gut-brain interaction in schizophrenia-derived microbiota transplant phenotype in mice.

AIMS This study investigates whether the melatonin (MLT) system modulates the behavioral, neurophysiological and neurochemical effects of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from individuals with schizophrenia (SCZ), highlighting the role of the tryptophan (Trp) to MLT and kynurenine (Kyn) pathways. MATERIALS AND...

Comparing trajectories of cognitive functioning in treatment-resistant and non-resistant depression: a multicentre linear mixed-effects analysis.

BACKGROUND Impaired cognitive functioning is a severe symptom in major depressive disorder (MDD). Recent evidence suggests it may be a central characteristic in its treatment resistant form (TRD), potentially constituting a clinical marker for treatment resistance and a target amenable to intervention. To date, cogniti...

668. Serotonin, melatonin, and kynurenines: bridging neurochemical pathways in schizophrenia and beyond

Investigating the interplay between Trp metabolism, inflammation, and gut microbiota in modulating cognitive and metabolic phenotypes in schizophrenia suggests that dysregulated Trp metabolism acts as a translational bridge connecting genetic background, metabolic status, and microbiota-derived signals to SCZ pathophys...

683. Genomic foundations of precision treatment: polygenic risk and pleiotropy in predicting therapeutic response

Abstract Background Major depressive disorder (MDD) is the most common mental disorder and is associated with substantial functional impairment, socioeconomic costs and reduced quality of life. One third of patients presents treatment-resistant depression (TRD), a major clinical challenge that highly contributes to the...

443. Transcriptomic analysis reveals differential mRNA expression in bipolar disorder

This study suggests that BD patients present significant differences in gene expression patterns compared to healthy controls, and pathway analyses suggest that protein misfolding and endoplasmic reticulum alterations could be implicated in the pathophysiology of BD, while response to lithium might be related to modula...

Phthalates and Bisphenols as Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals: Possible Determinants of Mood Disorders

Key mechanisms identified include Nrf2/HO-1-driven oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis, disruption of calcium signalling and synaptic plasticity via CREB phosphorylation deficits, epigenetic suppression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor via promoter hypermethylation, interference with thyroid hormone bioavailabi...

Genomic dimensions deconstruct the clinical heterogeneity of bipolar disorder

Bipolar disorder’s genetic architecture appears hierarchical—a general liability resolving into dimensions of course and comorbidity, beyond subtypes, beyond subtypes.

Emotional Reliance on Artificial Intelligence: A Scoping Review of AI Companionship and Mental Health Implications

Eotional reliance on AI represents an emerging clinical phenomenon with addiction-like features requiring specific diagnostic frameworks, evidence-based interventions, and ethical design guidelines and future research should prioritize longitudinal studies examining developmental impacts and neurobiological investigati...
