Classification and influencing factors of depression and anxiety progression during and after the Covid-19 pandemic
This study aimed to classify latent profiles based on the temporal progression of depression and anxiety during and after the COVID-19 pandemic and explored factors influencing these trajectories. An online survey was conducted with 497 South Korean individuals aged 19 to 69 years in three rounds: the first half of 2020 (Round 1), the second half of 2020 (Round 2), and the first half of 2023 (Round 3). A growth mixture model categorized latent pr…
Association between suicidal ideation and cognitive function in young patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorder
Our results suggest that along with traditional risk factors, better cognitive function may also be a major risk factor for suicidality in patients with schizophrenia. Providing psychological support and cognitive interventions is essential for young patients with recent-onset schizophrenia spectrum disorders, particularly those with high levels of depression, hopelessness, perceived stress, low resilience, and good cognitive function
Covid-19 vaccine acceptance and related behavioral and psychological characteristics in individuals with mental disorders in Korea
The present study demonstrated that individuals with mental disorders were generally willing to receive COVID-19 vaccination. However, they weighed its need and effectiveness against potential side effects before coming to a decision. It is important to understand the behavioral and psychological characteristics associated with vaccine acceptance, to effectively communicate its importance to individuals with mental disorders
Age-specific associations between serum cholesterol levels and suicidal behaviors in patients with depressive disorders
These findings suggest that differential consideration of serum total cholesterol levels according to age group may have clinical utility for predicting suicidality in patients with depressive disorders. However, because our research participants came from a single-hospital, the generalizability of our findings may be limited
Correlations of psychological distress with plasma cytokine levels and gene mutations in acral and non-acral melanoma
Psychological distress was associated with plasma cytokine levels and depression- and cytokine-related gene mutations. Using psychiatric intervention and emotional support, cytokine levels related to melanoma can be changed, which may have positive effects on the prognosis and treatment of melanoma. More careful follow-up, evaluation, and management are needed for patients with gene mutations
Childhood Abuse, Social Support, and Long-Term Pharmacological Treatment Outcomes in Patients With Depressive Disorders
Synergistic interactive effects of child abuse and social support levels on treatment outcomes in depressive patients were found during long-term pharmacotherapy. Thus, depressed patients with a history of childhood abuse may require specialized clinical approaches, including social support, to enhance the long-term treatment outcomes
Serotonin modifies the impact of sleep disturbance on suicidality in patients with acute coronary syndrome
Evaluating sleep disturbance and serum serotonin levels could improve the accuracy of clinical predictions of suicidal ideation in the acute and chronic phases of ACS
Relationship Between Economic Loss and Anxiety During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic
In the early stages of COVID-19, lower levels of gratitude and higher perceived stress led to greater anxiety. In later stages of the prolonged pandemic, only perceived stress had a continued moderating effect on the relationship between economic loss and anxiety. This study suggests that psychological interventions to reduce perceived stress are needed to treat the possible adverse effects of the spread of infectious diseases on mental health
Prediction of Suicidality According to Serum Folate Levels in Depressive Patients Receiving Stepwise Pharmacotherapy
Background: The effects of serum folate levels on suicidal behavior, strongly associated with depression, have not been investigated. Therefore, this study investigated the associations between serum folate levels and suicidal behavior in patients with depressive disorders. Methods: Serum folate levels were measured at baseline in 1,094 patients with depressive disorder, 884 of whom were followed during a 12-month period of stepwise pharmacothera…
The Psychology of Food Cravings in Patients With First-Episode Psychosis
Objectives: Food cravings may cause weight gain in patients with schizophrenia. This study investigated psychological characteristics associated with food cravings in patients with first-episode psychosis. Methods: This study analyzed data from a clinical cohort of first-episode psychosis patients taking antipsychotics for 3 months or less. The strength of food cravings was measured using the General Food Cravings Questionnaire-Trait (G-FCQ-T). P…
Negative Life Events and Problematic Internet Use as Factors Associated With Psychotic-Like Experiences in Adolescents
Objectives: Psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) and problematic internet use (PIU) are common in adolescents. However, little is known about the association between PLEs and PIU among adolescents. The present study examined the associations between PLEs and PIU and negative life events among adolescents. Methods: In total, 1,678 adolescents attending high school were recruited for a cross-sectional survey. They completed self-reported assessments o…
Longitudinal Associations Between Serum Cytokine Levels and Dementia
Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether long-term inflammation is related to the incidence of dementia in a prospective observational study. Methods: In total, 732 Korean community-dwelling elderly people >65 years were evaluated at baseline. Of the 625 without dementia, 518 (83%) were followed over a 2.4-years period, and the incidence of dementia was determined. Cytokine [interleukin (IL)-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and tumo…
Differential Associations Between Delirium and Mortality According to Delirium Subtype and Age
OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the differential associations between delirium and mortality in terminally ill patients according to delirium subtype and age. METHODS: This was a prospective cohort study of terminally ill patients. Delirium was diagnosed using the confusion assessment method. Delirium subtypes were defined based on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition criteria and the Delirium Rating Scale-98-R.…
Serotonergic and BDNF Genes Associated With Depression 1 Week and 1 Year After Mastectomy for Breast Cancer
OBJECTIVE: Polymorphisms of serotonin transporter (5-HTT) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) genes have been investigated as candidate genes for depression occurring in medical disorders. The serotonin 2a receptor (5-HTR2a) genes have been investigated as risk factors for depression but rarely in combination with medical conditions. This study aimed to investigate whether polymorphisms of interest in 5-HTT, 5-HTR2a, and BDNF genes are a…
Modification by Two Genes of Associations Between General Somatic Health and Incident Depressive Syndrome in Older People
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the modifying effects of two candidate genes (serotonin transporter gene linked promoter region (5-HTTLPR) and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphisms) on the associations between general somatic morbidity and incidence of depression in an East Asian population with high frequencies of potential risk alleles. METHODS: With a 2-year prospective study of a community sample (N = 521) of older people …
The usefulness of the Korean version of modified Mini-Mental State Examination (K-mMMSE) for dementia screening in community dwelling elderly people
Our findings indicate that the K-mMMSE is more reliable and valid than the K-MMSE as a cognitive screen in a population based study of dementia. Considering the test characteristics, the K-MMSE and modified version are expected to be optimally used in clinical and epidemiologic fields
