Perceived Factors Influencing Shared Decision-Making in Mental Health Risk Assessment and Management: A Cross-Sectional Survey with Service Users and Professionals

This cross-sectional survey utilizing the Theoretical Domains Framework reveals that while mental health professionals are motivated to practice shared decision-making in risk assessment, significant barriers including time constraints, communication gaps, and service user concerns hinder its consistent implementation, highlighting a critical need for improved communication, organizational support, and targeted training.

Symptom and Age Dependent Casual Effects of Body Size on Bipolar: A Mendelian Randomisation Study

This Mendelian randomisation study reveals that while childhood body size has little causal impact, higher adult body size significantly increases the risk of major depressive disorder, subthreshold mania, and depressive symptoms, suggesting that age-specific body size exerts distinct causal effects on bipolar disorder and related psychiatric features.

Distress above diagnostic constraints: transdiagnostic psychological and somatic symptom patterns in young adults

This study of young adults in Switzerland and Ukraine demonstrates that psychological and somatic symptoms consistently co-occur and cluster by overall severity rather than specific diagnoses, supporting a transdiagnostic, dimensional approach to mental health assessment and intervention.

Identification of Suicide-Related Subgroups Using Latent Class Analysis: Complementary Insights to Explainable AI-Based Classification

This study utilizes latent class analysis on a Sri Lankan dataset to identify four distinct suicide-related subgroups with varying prevalence rates and clinical profiles, demonstrating that unsupervised phenotyping offers complementary insights to explainable AI-based classification for better understanding suicide heterogeneity.

A psychometric evaluation of diffusion basis spectrum imaging indicates white matter inflammation in depression

This study demonstrates that diffusion basis spectrum imaging (DBSI) is a reliable technique for detecting white matter inflammation in major depressive disorder, particularly through fiber and hindered fraction metrics in the cingulate bundle, though gray matter assessments may require multiple scans due to lower reliability.

Predictive value of EEG/ECG Biomarkers for Treatment Response in Depression

This retrospective study of 153 adults with depression found that treatment choices aligned with individualized EEG/ECG biomarker reports were associated with significantly higher response rates compared to non-concordant treatments, suggesting that such electrophysiological decision support tools could improve clinical outcomes.

Data Diversity vs. Model Complexity in the Prediction of Pediatric Bipolar Disorder: Evidence from Academic and Community Clinical Samples

This study demonstrates that for predicting pediatric bipolar disorder, increasing data diversity through pooled training samples is more effective for achieving generalizable performance across clinical settings than increasing model complexity, as transportability issues were primarily driven by dataset shifts and miscalibration rather than algorithmic limitations.

Pathways from AI Literacy to Sustained Engagement with AI-Powered Cognitive Behavioural Therapy: A Structural Equation Model with Moderated Mediation in a National UK Sample

This study of 1,247 UK adults demonstrates that AI literacy fosters sustained engagement with AI-powered cognitive behavioural therapy primarily by enhancing trust and perceived therapeutic alliance, though these positive pathways are significantly weakened by mental health stigma.

Protocol for a randomized pilot trial of COMPASS, an open-source, culturally adapted cognitive behavioral therapy program for forcibly displaced Venezuelan adults in Peru

This paper outlines the protocol for a randomized pilot trial evaluating the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of COMPASS, an open-source, culturally adapted cognitive behavioral therapy program delivered by lay providers to forcibly displaced Venezuelan adults in Peru.

Saliva cell-free mitochondrial DNA (cf-mtDNA) as a dynamic biomarker of stress and emotion in daily life: Evidence from two independent repeated-measures studies

Two independent studies demonstrate that saliva cell-free mitochondrial DNA (cf-mtDNA) functions as a dynamic, context-dependent biobehavioral signal that fluctuates in response to daily stressors and emotional states, rather than serving as a static indicator of individual differences.

Medium-term Prediction of Clinically-relevant Outcomes in First-episode Schizophrenia Patients

This study demonstrates that while long-term functioning and quality of life in first-episode schizophrenia patients cannot be reliably predicted from baseline measures alone and require at least one year of follow-up data, negative symptoms can be predicted earlier using baseline severity and duration of untreated psychosis, suggesting distinct underlying mechanisms for these outcome phenotypes.

Symptom-specific genetics reveal heterogeneity within major depressive disorder

By analyzing the genetics of individual depressive symptoms, this study reveals that Major Depressive Disorder comprises two distinct but correlated genetic dimensions: one linked to neurodevelopmental and psychiatric traits, and another associated with cardiometabolic vulnerabilities, offering a pathway toward more precise patient stratification and treatment.

Longitudinal associations between depressive symptoms and brain structure across late childhood and adolescence: A panel network analysis study

This longitudinal panel network analysis of nearly 10,000 youth reveals that associations between depressive symptoms and brain structure are subtle, symptom-specific, and dynamic within individuals over time, rather than reflecting stable between-person differences.

Explore-exploit instability reveals computational decision-making heterogeneity in early psychosis

This study utilizes computational modeling of decision-making tasks to demonstrate that early psychosis is characterized by distinct neurocomputational subtypes driven by elevated uncertainty sensitivity and decision noise, which cause premature transitions from exploitation to exploration independent of reward learning deficits.

Invisible by Design: Three Mechanisms That Render Dementia Undetectable in Correctional Statistics Across Four High-Income Countries

This study reveals that dementia remains statistically invisible in the correctional systems of Japan, the US, the UK, and Australia due to three structural mechanisms—reliance on declining self-reports, the absence of a specific dementia classification category, and a lack of routine data collection—rather than clinical ignorance, thereby creating a critical failure in health surveillance for aging prison populations.

High remission rates and visual network normalization in severely traumatized children following medication-free, intensive inpatient psychotherapy

This prospective pilot study demonstrates that an intensive, medication-free, attachment-based inpatient psychotherapy program for severely traumatized children (aged 6–13) yields high remission rates for behavioral and trauma symptoms and induces neurobiological normalization in visual processing networks, with effects sustained at follow-up.
