Special Section: On Looking Inward
Much of mainstream psychology and psychiatry has come under the umbrella of cognitive neuroscience and attempts to provide mechanistic accounts of mental processes. On the other hand, therapeutically oriented branches of psychiatry are concerned with giving accounts at a personal, experiential level of explanation. Relating introspective evidence (first-person perspective) to objective (third-person perspective) evidence is a key challenge for ps…
Pituitary-Adrenal and Sympathetic Nervous System Responses to Stress in Women Remitted From Recurrent Major Depression
Objective: To better understand the changes in hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and sympathetic nervous system (SNS) function after remission of depression. We characterized these systems at baseline and in response to a psychosocial stressor in a cohort of women remitted from recurrent major depression as well as in never-depressed healthy female controls. Methods: Baseline HPA function was measured via saliva cortisol sampling at 8 AM …
Irritability Rather Than Depression During Interferon Treatment Is Linked to Increased Tryptophan Catabolism
OBJECTIVE: Treatment with recombinant interferon is associated with high rates of psychiatric comorbidity. We investigated the relation between catabolism of the essential amino acid tryptophan, being rate-limiting of peripheral and cerebral serotonin formation, and psychiatric symptoms in patients undergoing combination treatment with interferon-alpha and ribavirin. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eighteen patients with viral hepatitis C who received inte…
Gender differences in the relation between social support, problems in parent-offspring communication, and depression and anxiety
Patients With Carcinoid Syndrome Exhibit Symptoms of Aggressive Impulse Dysregulation
Objective: Carcinoid tumors can produce excessive amounts of biogenic amines, notably serotonin. We assessed psychiatric symptoms in carcinoid patients and peripheral metabolism of tryptophan, the precursor of serotonin. Methods: Twenty consecutive patients with carcinoid syndrome underwent a structured psychiatric interview applying DSM-IV (Diagnostical Statistical Manual) criteria. Tumor activity was measured by determination of 24-hour urine e…
