Elevated accuracy in recognition of subliminal happy facial expressions in patients with panic disorder after psychotherapy
These data suggest that patients with PD exhibited a "happy-face recognition advantage" after psychotherapy. Less symptoms after treatment were related to a reduced fear bias. Thus, a differential facial emotion detection task could be a suitable tool to monitor response patterns and biases in individuals with ADs in the context of psychotherapy
The associations of Positive and Negative Valence Systems, Cognitive Systems and Social Processes on disease severity in anxiety and depressive disorders
Our key results show that symptom burden in anxiety and depressive disorders is associated with latent RDoC indicators in transdiagnostic and disease-specific ways
Help-Seeking Behavior and Treatment Barriers in Anxiety Disorders
Although effective therapies exist, treatment rates of anxiety disorders (AD) are low, raising the question why affected individuals do not receive treatment. We provide data from the nationally representative German Health Interview and Examination Survey-2011 (DEGS1) on the help-seeking behavior and perceived treatment barriers of 650 subjects with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders' (DSM-IV AD). Only 26% of all cases with AD…

Including gaming disorder in the ICD-11: The need to do so from a clinical and public health perspective
The proposed introduction of gaming disorder (GD) in the 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) has led to a lively debate over the past year. Besides the broad support for the decision in the academic press, a recent publication by van Rooij et al. (2018) repeated the criticism raised against the inclusion of GD in ICD-11 by Aarseth et al. (2017). We argue that this…
Support Vector Machine Analysis of Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Interoception Does Not Reliably Predict Individual Outcomes of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Panic Disorder with Agoraphob…
In contrast to reports on other neurofunctional probes, SVM based on an interoception paradigm was not able to reliably predict individual response to CBT. Results speak against the clinical applicability of this technique
Drinking patterns and harm of unrecorded alcohol in Russia
Background: Consumption of unrecorded alcohol (alcohol, consumed as a beverage, but not reflected in official statistics) has been linked to heavy drinking and alcohol-related mortality in Russia, with different studies looking for possible toxic components or other explanations. This study explores self-reported drinking behaviors of people diagnosed with alcohol dependence to elicit the perspectives of consumers of unrecorded alcohol.Methods: S…

Twelve‐month prevalence, comorbidity and correlates of mental disorders in Germany
This paper provides up to date prevalence estimates of mental disorders in Germany derived from a national survey (German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults, Mental Health Module [DEGS1‐MH]). A nationally representative sample ( N = 5318) of the adult (18–79) population was examined by clinically trained interviewers with a modified version of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (DEGS‐CIDI) to assess symptoms, syndrom…
Horizon 2020 Priorities in Clinical Mental Health Research
Within the ROAMER project, which aims to provide a Roadmap for Mental Health Research in Europe, a two-stage Delphi survey among 86 European experts was conducted in order to identify research priorities in clinical mental health research. Expert consensus existed with regard to the importance of three challenges in the field of clinical mental health research: (1) the development of new, safe and effective interventions for mental disorders; (2)…
Stability of Recalled Parental Rearing Behavior in a Community Sample of Adolescents and Young Adults
This study examined the temporal stability of recalled parental rearing behavior ( RPRB ) in a community sample of adolescents and young adults (aged 15–19 at first assessment, N = 945) over a period of nearly two years. RPRB (overprotection/control, rejection/punishment, and emotional warmth, separately for mother and father) was assessed at two assessment waves (time interval: M = 21.18 months, SD = 0.09 months) using the Questionnaire of Recal…
The economic cost of brain disorders in Europe
Background and purpose: In 2005, we presented for the first time overall estimates of annual costs for brain disorders (mental and neurologic disorders) in Europe. This new report presents updated, more accurate, and comprehensive 2010 estimates for 30 European countries. Methods: One‐year prevalence and annual cost per person of 19 major groups of disorders are based on ‘best estimates’ derived from systematic literature reviews by panels of exp…

Incidence of Social Anxiety Disorder and the Consistent Risk for Secondary Depression in the First Three Decades of Life
CONTEXT: Epidemiological findings demonstrating an increased risk for individuals with social anxiety disorder (SAD) to develop depression have been challenged by discrepant findings from prospective longitudinal examinations in childhood and early adolescence. OBJECTIVES: To examine patterns of SAD incidence, the consistency of associations of SAD with subsequent depression, and distal and proximal predictors for subsequent depression. DESIGN: F…

The epidemiology of major depressive episodes
Absence of a common diagnostic interview has hampered cross‐national syntheses of epidemiological evidence on major depressive episodes (MDE). Community epidemiological surveys using the World Health Organization Composite International Diagnostic Interview administered face‐to‐face were carried out in 10 countries in North America (Canada and the US), Latin America (Brazil, Chile, and Mexico), Europe (Czech Republic, Germany, the Netherlands, an…

Traumatic events and post‐traumatic stress disorder in the community
Objective: Lifetime and 12‐month prevalence of traumatic events and DSM‐IV post‐traumatic stress disorder as well as risk factors and comorbidity patterns were investigated in a representative community sample ( n =3021, aged 14–24 years). Method: Traumatic events and PTSD were assessed with the Munich Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI). Results: Although 26% of male subjects and 17.7% of female subjects reported at least one tra…
Methodological studies of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) in the US national comorbidity survey (NCS)
This paper reports the results of methodological studies carried out in conjunction with the US National Comorbidity Survey (NCS) to evaluate Version 1.0 of the World Health Organization (WHO) Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI). These studies relied on recent survey data collection methodology literature to investigate problems regarding question comprehension, instruction comprehension, respondent motivation to report accurately…
The World Health Organization Composite International Diagnostic Interview short‐form (CIDI‐SF)
Data are reported on a series of short‐form (SF) screening scales of DSM‐III‐R psychiatric disorders developed from the World Health Organization's Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI). A multi‐step procedure was used to generate CIDI‐SF screening scales for each of eight DSM disorders from the US National Comorbidity Survey (NCS). This procedure began with the subsample of respondents who endorsed the CIDI diagnostic stem question…

Cross-cultural Feasibility, Reliability and Sources of Variance of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI)
The CIDI is a fully standardised diagnostic interview designed for assessing mental disorders based on the definitions and criteria of ICD–10 and DSM–III–R. Field trials with the CIDI have been conducted in 18 centres around the world, to test the feasibility and reliability of the CIDI in different cultures and settings, as well as to test the inter-rater agreement for the different types of questions used. Of 590 subjects interviewed across all…
